AliQapu

Really enjoyed the food. But we kept getting delivered food that was for the other side of our table and had to spend a considerable amount of time working out where the dish was supposed to go, on two occasions. It felt like they were understaffed. Had the mixed dips + Mirza (eggplant). If you order the dips the extra money is worth it! Kubideh, Barg, baktiari and soltabi kababs. Barg was my fave, tender thin strip of beef. And the dizi sangi. And the safron and pistachio icecream. Loved the depth of flavour, especially in the dizi sangi. Pretty cool with the mortar and pestle like things. The bread was delicious and warm. Loved the amazing ice-cream. Just realised the bill was higher than the menu price. And just realised the menu price is incorrect, must add 3% on top. Making it a pricier feed. For the pain of incorrectly delivered dishes and price point, I'm not sure if I would return. But enjoyed the food.

Tonight’s evening at Aliqapu was great from the start when we were welcomed upon arrival by friendly staff to the finish when we had finished our amazing meal. The restaurant is beautifully authentic inside with lots of space for groups of all sizes. We ordered the banquet and it was all incredibly delicious, fresh, beautifully presented & unique flavours. When the huge banquet arrived to our table we were impressed by the amount of food & couldn’t fault one thing! The meat was all perfectly cooked & so tender & the fluffy rice & crisp mixed salad with a lovely dressing was so tasty. We had some left over which we were able to take home in containers the restaurant provided. The desserts & tea to finish were gorgeous too. We ordered an extra dessert to try called faloodeh which was INCREDIBLE in presentation & taste. It’s flavours & textures were superb with delicious ice cream on the side, which was equally delicious! Our waitress was THE BEST! She was so friendly, helpful & attentive, ensuring everything was ok etc. It is a restaurant you must try for so many reasons & you won’t be disappointed! Thank you to all the staff for a happy & delicious evening. 🥰🥰

My recent visit to Aliqapu, a Persian restaurant, was an absolute delight. The highlight of my meal was undoubtedly the Persian lamb cutlets. These were exceptionally prepared, offering a rich and delicious flavor that truly honored the culinary heritage of Persia. The meat was tender, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. A pleasant surprise was the salad bar, which was free on Thursday, the day of my visit. The variety and freshness of the salads provided a perfect complement to the savory lamb cutlets. This thoughtful addition enhanced the overall dining experience, making Aliqapu a must-visit for anyone who appreciates great food.

I always come here to not only enjoy the delicious and tasty Persian dishes that makes me come back to my memories in my home country Iran, but also to enjoy the positive environment. We ordered dizi & makhsous along with eggplant yoghurt as side. All are yummi. They’re absolutely good in terms of customer service. Strongly recommend.

- The place looks nice but seemed a little bit under staffed. There is no complimentary dishes or even bread which is pretty unusual for a Persian restaurant. We asked if they can give a little bit of our rice straight away for our kid so we can keep him busy until the meal is ready. It was provided to us after around 10 mins and we were charged for extra rice which none is common in any other Persian restaurants we have been. So, all in all service will stay at 3 stars. - We ordered Koobideh and Lamb Cutlet (Shishlik). Koobideh was very average and not even close to the other Persian restaurants I have been back in Brisbane and Sydney. The Shishlik wasn’t really what it should be and not even close to the photos provided on the menu and not close to any other shishlik I have had before. However, it was cooked medium which is my preference for red meat. Rice was cooked very well with good amount of butter in it. All in all, food can go something around 3 and a half stars. - The prices are high for the quality and portion of food. - I recommend adding some complimentary dishes/bread/soup as a starter. Also, recommend adding the common Persian fresh juices to the menu such as watermelon or pomegranate juice or banana shake. Having these items could make my experience a 4 stars one not 3.

Dined with the family on a Friday evening for the first time as this restaurant is recommended by both mine and my partner's Iranian colleague. Food was nice, different spices to what I have had but taste good. Good portion size but menu is a little repetitive as all kebab dishes come with the same rice and roasted tomato. Had live piano pop music playing in the background. Great night out with family, tried new food which I am happy to recommended to my friends.
