I think this is the best place to try Persian food in Sydney. Its my second time to this restaurant for dinner and that is after an enjoyable first visit. Their kebabs are a must even though I am not a fan of lamb but their lamb kebab is hard to pass. The saffron rice that comes with it, is also very nice. This time we tried their eggplant and garlic yoghurt sides which goes well with the rice and kebab. The food is definitely worth the visit. The restaurant staff are friendly and there is heaps of room to comfortably accommodate varies group sizes. Things are clean and well presented. My only negative is that the staff does give you a sense of urgency to order, eat and leave. Not sure if this is the Persian dining culture. However if you can overlook that its a great place to experience Persian food.

We went on Sat night and the place was bustling and packed. Because we didn’t book , we’ve been told we can stay only for a hour. Which we didn’t mind. Highly recommend to book on the weekend. If you haven’t tried Persian food, you have to try at this restaurant. Service was quick and generous portions. Wow the food was amazing. So delicious and full of flavours.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We went to Surena Persian Restaurant in Carlingford with a big family group of 11 and had the best experience! Even though the restaurant was very busy, the staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything ran smoothly for our large table. The food was absolutely outstanding ,by far the best Persian food in Sydney! Every dish was fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. From the tender kebabs to the perfectly cooked rice and delicious stews, everything tasted authentic and amazing. It’s rare to find a place that can combine excellent food, warm service, and such a welcoming atmosphere, especially when packed with customers. Surena truly delivered on all fronts. Highly recommend to anyone who loves Persian cuisine ,this will be your new favourite!
