It's amazing how quickly this channel has grown. I'm fairly certain when I subscribed about 6 months ago, Gary was at about 1K subscribers or something like that. It's a testimony to well made content though. Well done, Gary onwards and upwards!
Persian food is mild. There is no overpowering smell, taste, or colour because it is all about balance. Iranians use lots of dried fruits such as plums, barberries, and aromatic herbs and spices like cardamom, cinnamon, and saffron in most main dishes.
I guess you are having a go at Indian cuisine the reason it's spicy and aromatic or smelly is because of the spices which remove toxins from your body that cause various illnesses ailments.
Yet another example of why your channel has and will continue to grow at a rapid rate. Not just your usual politeness and respect you show others but not being scared to try different foods It really is a privilege that in major cities in the UK you can find excellent examples of cuisines from the whole world As Gary would say "just give them a go" Continued success Gary
Every review is a revelation, whether it's good or bad food. Gary really brings the viewer to the table. Without being there, I can almost taste the food. That is the best compliment I can give.
As a Persian myself, I’ve tried many types of food but I keep coming back to Persian foods, I thought it’s just me used to eating them but by watching this review , I know they are the best food and everyone loves them . Thanks Gary for this excellent upload 👏👏
Gary as my Asian Dr said once about my family 'If the whole world were like my family ( English ) what a lovely world it would be' i think of you the same way. genuine lovely human being. love and respect to you.
Iranian food is fabulous and ancient - my Iranian friend cooks similar food for us and it always blows me away - there's baby lamb stewed in pomegranate juice and saffron that made my mouth sing and little roasted peppers stuffed with various fillings and served with dips that are to die for - thanks for the review as ever
Interesting you say Iranian. One ex colleague describes herself as Persian. I suppose because of the whole Iranian revolution so she probably left Iran because of it.
@@GaryEats I love your videos - greetings from Cymru. Also love Persian dishes, having been put on to them by a friend who worked out there during the immediate pre-Khomeini period. Mild and sweet flavours merge with spices and the result is marvellous. Love the way you review, cool, calm and carrying a pack of Rennies just in case?

Hi Gary...Liverpool Kev...You are spot on....one of the best yet..!.....Disappointingly due to health and funds these days ...eating out...somewhat limited....so it is genuinely wonderful Gary to see you enjoy a fabulous meal....Years past...(Early 80s) working in The City...Square Mile as was....When funds and health were in abundance by comparison to today...eating out with new cuisine was such a treat....we used to try the Rasa Sayang in Soho....Malaysian treats that were so exotic to us at the time....Your meal tonight....was simply amazing in the same vein...Take care Gary...Keep up the good work ...Entertaining....Humorous and Mouth Watering fun...Good man !......Envious of you haha.......Liverpool Kev...
The thing i love most about your reviews Gary is the honesty, twinned with genuine admiration when a establishment deserves it, you tell it like it is and that in itself helps tremendously when choosing somewhere new to try, great channel and growing by the day ....... all the best.
That’s why i love the authenticity of your reviews Gary .. you genuinely looked blown away by the quality of that restaurant… and the food & ambience look top notch.. it’s definitely on my list of places to go …
The TH-cam algorithm sometimes throws you a good choice. This channel is one of those. My wife (a Pom) and I, living in Australia, love your channel. Good, sharp episodes that are well presented, informative and fair. Keep up the great work! Warren
It had to be a 10-plus. So glad the cameraman got fed. Love that teapot so beautiful plus the tea-free. Keep finding amazing restaurants like this Gary and you going to break all the rules.
I tried to post a response... I failed. Attempt no. 2: Persian food is very sophisticated. Persians and Arabs both squeeze lemon juice in their soup. You are right that it enhances the flavour. The marinated and perfectly cooked poussin hidden under a mountain of luxuriously prepared rice, with a salad decorating the edge of the serving platter, did look absolutely appetising. I could almost smell the aroma. 😊 The tea looked delicious as well. Everything was so beautifully presented. The staff at the restaurant must be chuffed with your review. I knew that you would rate it 11 or higher. You looked so happy with it all, as if it was beyond your expectations. I must visit the restaurant myself. Thank you for taking us along. As always, it is much appreciated!!
Sorry to hear that Sylvia but all good now 👍, the restaurant was amazing all round but the owner hasn’t come back to me, however he didn’t know we were doing a review so he might not have seen the video 🤷♂️
True. Why don't you give them a call and ask to speak with the manager. You will make his day. Thank you again. You really are doing an excellent job! @GaryEats
I just kept saying 'wow!' out loud throughout this entire video! Every single aspect of this restaurant and every single detail of every dish looked absolutely amazing. Even the little side salad looked appetising in a way that a side salad has no right to do - every aspect of every dish just looked like total perfection. I totally get your 10+ rating. I only discovered your channel a couple of days ago and I'm really enjoying your videos, thanks. Great work!
I think we’d all acknowledge your total honesty when rating meals. As a result, I’m desperate to go there. Thanks for the videos and keep up the great work Gary and team.
Hi Gary ! This is a pleasant surprise - Persian food ! We've got that here in Sydney, too, and it is amazing . The way they cook rice with that buttery crusty bottom, wow. They are the guys who came up with biryani. They also built the Taj Mahal. And about barberries. You can still find them in English hedgerows, but wherever it's found, it's destroyed, because it harbours the wheat rust fungus. They love it in their jams, too. I think it's more interesting than cranberries. Beautiful restaurant. All their restaurants are beautiful. And I've always thought it's a great idea for any restaurant to sell their products in-house, like chilli oil, etc. I'll check out your new website and merchandise. Thanks, Gary. You're really pumping out the videos ! I think you just discovered something about Persian cuisine - you don't only get food, you get the culture. The late , great Anthony Bourdan had a whole episode dedicated to eating in Iran. It blew my mind. You can only get that in Iran. But for now, restaurants like Bamanoosh will do quite nicely. Iran gets a bad rap. But I've seen videos, people wandering the streets filming ( on You Tube ) and you know what, the girls are wearing similar fashions to what I see in Sydney, and people are genuinely happy. You want to know what people are really like, go to their country, and see for yourself, don't hear it from others or the main stream media. Thanks again, Gary !
Was lovely to see your passion and enthusiasm about this restaurant Gary. Never had Persian but think you're encouraging people to be adventurous. Nice, positive review .
Wow that looked amazing. I went straight online to check out the full menu. I'm in Dublin but I will be looking up Persian restaurants over here. It looks right up my street. Thanks for the great review!
I’m very glad for your experience. I’m a bit versed in Persian cuisine and that looked very proper. I’ve had portions like that elsewhere and I find it speaks to the generosity of the people. Wonderful stuff.
That was just amazing Gary and without doubt, like you said, the VERY BEST REVIEW & FOOD. I won’t pretend to mention the names of the dishes, so I’ll mention by The soup chicken soup looked full of flavour, lovely and thick consistency. The saffron rice with the baby chicken, tender and was beautiful. The lamb wrap delightful. With the wonderful service, the amazing value for money. WOW!!! ❤❤❤ Agree 100% with your rating Gary. OUTSTANDING 👍💎👍💎👍
Great video! A food tour of your top rated restaurants is now on my bucket list. I’ve got Bamanoosh now at no.1 E Pellicic’s at no. 2. The Indian Room for a curry the Hinds Head for some fish and chips rounding off with a pub lunch at the Prospect of Whitby and maybe fit in an eggs Benedict at Mayfair…Now I can get my self kitted out with some of your merch for the trip as well, happy days! All the best looking forward to you visiting Scotland in the future 👍
18:48 I know I was a bit rude about the Fish and chips ..But now we are talking! My taste Buds were jumping! Great review on amazing food, Gary. Keep it up!!
What I love about Gary's channel is that it's an inspiration to cook at home. He reviews places that make the kind of food we could all attempt, whether it's simple fish and chips, a hearty breakfast or a joyous evening meal. He shows us what good looks like (and bad) and there's so much to learn from. I for one will now be looking to recreate a Persian style dish at home and share it.
This video was especially good, Gary . So much so that I felt I wanted to watch it twice before commenting.I have invariably found Iranian's to be extremely courteous and refined. They have a proud, ancient and noble culture. Your choice of visiting a well recommended Persian restaurant was an exotic, culinary masterstroke. My reactions as you showed us this restaurant were that this restaurant was indeed special. You could FEEL it and discern it.Heart and soul were strongly perceived in the beauty of the authentic decor and the personal decorative arrangements. This seemed much more than a mere " business". I discerned a real heart to this restaurant . No doubt coming from proud Iranian owners. I've no doubt that seeing the food itself was a real treat bit just for myself but for many other viewers because it all seemed so novel and 'un-encountered' before. It made this particular video exciting. How many food review videos can you honestly say that about, Gary? The whole experience you had sounded sublime and very synergistic with all the different sensory components coming together to make a' whole' experience which transcended any of the usual words of praise. When you can be fortunate enough to have an experience like you just had here, Gary, you elevate these food-tasting videos. It's just as well you are the food reviewer you are because trips like this challenge you in a good way and bring out the best in you and what you are always attempting to convey to the viewer. This beautiful and special restaurant; the exquisite food, and your personal experience here, lift one's soul. That's special and to be savoured. I can see why you feel it's somewhere you want to go back to time and time again. Thank you, Gary. Keep doing what you're doing.
Thanks a lot Gary , I live in Adelaide Australia & I’m left here drooling over the Persian meal you just had ! Jealous as… Nothing comparable here despite a lot of International cuisine. When I’m back in blighty I will certainly ‘give it a go ‘ Think possibly I Could be the furthest recommended patron of your channel. Keep on being a real critic & giving us a smile , Lexi 👍🍴
My word Gary. A website, merchandise and Tik Tok too!!! You are fast becoming a worldwide sensation proving there's life after beef in black beans 😂😂😂 Thanks again for sharing your wonderful culinary adventures. Look forward to catching you before the week is out. Bon Appetite 😀
Gary, the food looked gorgeous. Here is a recommendation for your scoring from now on - any establishment that you think exceeds the highest score of 10, give it a 10/10+ (plus or 10/10* (star) instead of 11, 12 etc. If you give it a 10+ or a 10* then this will be sufficient that the establishment exceeds the top mark you can give. It also means that no exceptional place is open to dispute or any further subjective / objective markings. In essence, markings in comparison wither others of equal stature become irrelevant as the standards are so good.
The first 10+!! Well deserved by the look of it, Gary. I know it's a different type of food, but that reminded me of a trip to Morocco, eating at a few places the locals use, had a similar chicken dish and the wraps were rediculously good as well. I absolutely loved the food out there. That place is very much on my list of places to eat at if I get back to eating again, thanks for reviewing it, Gary 👍🏼
Some people underestimate soup, but there is a reason its served throughout the world, my favorite is leek and potato (Vichyssoise is the posh version) but in its basic form its really simple to make if you use good ingredients and it is sublime!
Gary that was an absolute joy to watch! And i'm so excited you've got merch available! Next cup/cap/hoodie should have "THAT IS OUTRAGEOUSLY GOOD!" on it!!!! You really are one for the good guys, already looking forward to the next one! GM Rich
I've not been a subscriber for long, but I was impressed from the start by how calm and natural your presentation style is. Would that more of the TH-cam food review content providers would sometimes just relax into their work and stop trying too hard! No names because my point is a subjective one, but the - obviously genuine - sheer joy in your facial expression puts you a class above some. I stay way up in the frozen North East but am determined to go on a road trip in my old camper van in order to sample at least a few of the venues that you enjoyed. Keep up the good work and, someday soon, you might be at the guests' table on "Saturday Kitchen. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Best of luck with the channel, Regards, Jaye ××
Wow that food looked amazing & your review was equally as good & enough for the cameraman to share excellent value for two people, great video Gary thanks for sharing....... let's give it go 😊
Evening Gary in my neck of the woods. Been to Bamanoosh Great to see you great vlog as always. Meal looked great love the rice looked so colourful so inviting. So glad you are so happy I am happy your happy too! Great Thank you for being you Suex
I don't think I've ever had Persian food. How interesting, especially with vegan options. The rice looks fantastic! I also love the tea pot. Thanks very much Gary.
My neighbours are Iranian and they occasionally give me food. It's absolutely delicious. I have the best neighbours. They describe themselves as Iranian but their cooking as Persian. The soup looked absolutely fantastic. I like white plates too. Don't like the modern trend in table wear. The mains could not have looked more appetizing. Beautiful. That's a good main for £19. Look at all that rice and salad. The lamb looked great. Love the crunch when Gary bit in. There was enough food for two there, the tea looked like an event. Such a wonderful experience. It's a 10. 😁 Even on price, that was very competitive. It's a 10 plus as you say Gary. Great review as always. Bring on 100k.
Just on presentation alone, I'd give this place 20/10, Gary! Lol I'm so sad that I'll never get to taste Persian food, because it looks like a true symphony of taste, texture, & scent! Just the look on your face when you tasted the tea said it all - I would have been happy simply to try that soup, as I was practically salivating seeing it. Then you went on to the chicken & rice dish - such a plebian description of something that looked like art on a plate! Lol Even sharing with your son, I'm amazed that you finished it all, as those portions were more than generous. I just laughed to myself, thinking about the carvery you'd been to, with almost cold food, that, frankly, looked like someone's leftovers, compared to the Persian food! I envy you being able to go back there whenever you feel like it, to explore everything on their menu! 👍
Another fantastic review, Gary. Food looks really good, brilliant prices. Would love to have a mooch and shop there! Thank you for another opportunity to see something different - never tried Persian food before definitely want to try now!
Excellent review, Gary. Please, next time, try: koobideh with rice rather than in wrap, also try ghaimeh badenjan or ghormeh sabzi, Salad shirazi., it's a shame that persian food is not that popular at the moment.
I love the touch with the teapot has so much style for someone like yourself stylish 👌🏼.I have to say I honestly can’t fault anything on your plate today .soup looked really nice and steaming hot .wraps we’re actually spot on filled with all that lovely filling 🤤.The restaurant itself says it all with a lovely display behind you with all the goodies they sell .I have to say it’s definitely full marks on all the food and the way you presented your video as always a true gentleman.Thank you Gary and not forgetting your camera man .see you on the next one .excellent stuff 👌🏼😊👍🏻💙 take care .
A great review as usual Gary.. and a pleasure to see that pure unadulterated joy on your face. There's a persian place ive been meaning to try in brum and your review has now convinced me to go sooner rather than later.
Persian food is excellent and that looked extremely tasty and well presented. For me it's a definite 10. Lebanese and Persian are my favorite dishes. First class review.
Well, that looked absolutely amazing ! I’ve never been to a Persian restaurant but you’ve now inspired me to go. No faults so I’m not surprised you went over 10 for this one. Glad the cameraman was fed ! 😊 Brilliant Gary.
Wow is the right word. I'm really loving your reviews and the obvious warmth you feel for this dining experience. You have easily earned a subscriber in me. I will be cooking some Persian food before the weekend is out.
That looks beautiful. Could you not get a discount for the kid making a racket in the background.... joking. That food looked spectacular & like you say, it would easily feed a couple. Another great review Gary 👍
Beautiful presentation. Looked amazing . The restaurant was so eye catching inside and out . Lots to offer there as well .well worth a visit . Great review , thank you .👍👏🤩🙏🏼❤️
I really enjoy your reviews! You cover all aspects of the experiece so well I feel I am there. The food was so colorful and different. Your review was so detailed and helpful. If I were in England I would definitely be dining there. I live deep in the heart of Texas, due to your review, I checked and in our city of 2 million souls we have a Persian restaurant! I am looking forward to ordering the same dishes you did. I may say, "Gary sent me!"
My go to restaurant/Cafe food review channel, Keep it up Garry, I binned the MacMaster and Darren John a while back as they just end up whining about what's going wrong in their lives! Keep it food Garry! 👍
I've watched that DJ channel ( just recently) and he picked out a few decent places,but he kind of seems preoccupied or likes aiming the Camera at himself?& smirking as if he's in the possession of a private Joke&jthen he just stuff's his face,without really revealing a great deal!.So after a few Vids,that got kind of old! As opposed to this Chap,who does very thorough, 'Down to earth' straightforward,unpretentious reviews! And this food looked really nice!
@@scotty6346 My goodness! And I agree👍..And speaking from the perspective of being born in the E.End ( to Irish ☘️ Parents) I have met more than my fill of Flashy,conceited people from there& he comes across just a little like that! And that's why he bought the Super Glue for his Barnet!
This WAS the best food review so far. We can't judge food we haven't eaten, but by now we CAN judge the joy on your face... I'm just ever so happy you found that place and had such a wonderful time! Thanks like always for bringing warmth to our hearts.
I live in Kingston and I drive past this restaurant every day but have never tried... based on you review ill definately 'give it a go' 😂 thanks Gary!!
We went today on your recommendation ,we had the lunch time special under a tenner with a drink.Amazing place,food very tasty and how lovely the staff were.Met the owner and he very kindly gave me the tea to try with all the different sugars!They have live music on a Thursday night so we will be going back.
U put that darren john channel to shame He is just trying to milk everyone and his reviews are all the same Gary eats all the way and we all agree as your channel is growing daily
That looked a delicous theatre of food Gary - The product around you looked so clean and beautifully presented. I've never tried Persian Tea before, but now... I mean sugar on a stick served from the most beautiful tea pot. Bamanoosh is now on my ever growing 'Gary list' of places to visit - Thanks 🤓
I was actually smiling just watching how much you enjoyed that one Gary, your face said it all ! You almost looked confused it was so good ! 👍 gutted I live do far away from Surbiton 😢
A few miles down the road in New Malden is Ecklee supermarket, Arab goodies - dates are in season, wide variety here and cheap (Iran and Egypt biggest growers), fresh walnuts - great place for ingredients
Can’t recall when was the last time I’ve had food from the Middle East. I remember it fondly from our travels. Thanks for doing something different for all of who truly enjoy your reviews.
Hi Gary myself and my wife live in Gdynia Poland after living and working in London for nearly 20 years really enjoying your food reviews looking forward to your next offering ❤
Persion food is very interesting, very close to turkish but also very distinct. I honestly love it, especially the saffron rice! Another great video Gary and the cameraman keep it up!
Gary-that looked stunning.Didnt think it was that expensive either considering the portion size and quality. I think on these exceptional visits you simply cant score them.Although my veg.soup has its moments! Congrats.on all your success it's making it so personal and wide ranging that makes it compulsive viewing.
So very kind to say Michael I’ll have to award a ⭐️to top class places as suggested by a number of other comments, take care and enjoy the rest of the week 😊

That is so very kind thank you 🙏
So what you took from your doctor saying you have a nice family is that you think he wants everyone to be English? Only the English would think that
Yeah if that Indian dr told you then it must be true right 😂
It's actually true, thank you for Yr comment Gary, shame about the haters

Iranian food is fabulous and ancient - my Iranian friend cooks similar food for us and it always blows me away - there's baby lamb stewed in pomegranate juice and saffron that made my mouth sing and little roasted peppers stuffed with various fillings and served with dips that are to die for - thanks for the review as ever
Your very luck Frank I was totally amazed at the flavours 😊
Interesting you say Iranian. One ex colleague describes herself as Persian. I suppose because of the whole Iranian revolution so she probably left Iran because of it.
I can imagine the next 500 customers saying "can I have what Gary had"!

Thank you for commenting and I fully agree this was absolutely WOW, have a great Easter 🐣
You can tell you class without being pompous. Using the spoon for soup away from you is what dad taught me and not seen very often.
Very kind Jane so did my dad 😊
I noticed you mixed it but when came to taking a mouthful you spooned away....i thought class
I believe the reasoning it if you spoon away the underside soup moves away from you (far side of spoon) and any drips would be not on you.
an manners like fork left knife right
I think we’d all acknowledge your total honesty when rating meals. As a result, I’m desperate to go there. Thanks for the videos and keep up the great work Gary and team.

The saffron rice with the baby chicken, tender and was beautiful.
The lamb wrap delightful.
With the wonderful service, the amazing value for money.
WOW!!! ❤❤❤
Agree 100% with your rating Gary. OUTSTANDING 👍💎👍💎👍
Thank you Andrea it was so good 😊
Great video! A food tour of your top rated restaurants is now on my bucket list. I’ve got Bamanoosh now at no.1 E Pellicic’s at no. 2. The Indian Room for a curry the Hinds Head for some fish and chips rounding off with a pub lunch at the Prospect of Whitby and maybe fit in an eggs Benedict at Mayfair…Now I can get my self kitted out with some of your merch for the trip as well, happy days! All the best looking forward to you visiting Scotland in the future 👍
Wow Jamie that is a tour I’d like to join you on 👍. I’ll be in Scotland 🏴 in the coming months mate 👍
Gary you are like the best Uncle every one wants😁
Lol very kind 😊
That really did all look amazing! You’re shining a light on some great places Gary! 👍
Thank you kindly
Mate, I love the passion you show for all the food you eat. Another delicious looking review. Cheers, Gary!
So nice of you. Thank you :)
18:48 I know I was a bit rude about the Fish and chips ..But now we are talking! My taste Buds were jumping! Great review on amazing food, Gary. Keep it up!!
No problem at all. I try to do lots of different food reviews to keep everyone happy (not easy at times) thank you Silvio!!
Taste spuds?
@@Vertical-sandwiches Taste Buds 😋 sorry, Karl...love you Funny Guy !!
What I love about Gary's channel is that it's an inspiration to cook at home.
He reviews places that make the kind of food we could all attempt, whether it's simple fish and chips, a hearty breakfast or a joyous evening meal. He shows us what good looks like (and bad) and there's so much to learn from.
I for one will now be looking to recreate a Persian style dish at home and share it.
Very kind to say Alex, you know what to do “ let’s give it a go” 😊
You hit the nail on head when you said it was a "picture on the plate and a smile on your face" say no more!
Thank you Chris
This video was especially good, Gary . So much so that I felt I wanted to watch it twice before commenting.I have invariably found Iranian's to be extremely courteous and refined. They have a proud, ancient and noble culture. Your choice of visiting a well recommended Persian restaurant was an exotic, culinary masterstroke.
My reactions as you showed us this restaurant were that this restaurant was indeed special. You could FEEL it and discern it.Heart and soul were strongly perceived in the beauty of the authentic decor and the personal decorative arrangements. This seemed much more than a mere " business".
I discerned a real heart to this restaurant . No doubt coming from proud Iranian owners.
I've no doubt that seeing the food itself was a real treat bit just for myself but for many other viewers because it all seemed so novel and 'un-encountered' before. It made this particular video exciting. How many food review videos can you honestly say that about, Gary?
The whole experience you had sounded sublime and very synergistic with all the different sensory components coming together to make a' whole' experience which transcended any of the usual words of praise.
When you can be fortunate enough to have an experience like you just had here, Gary, you elevate these food-tasting videos.
It's just as well you are the food reviewer you are because trips like this challenge you in a good way and bring out the best in you and what you are always attempting to convey to the viewer.
This beautiful and special restaurant; the exquisite food, and your personal experience here, lift one's soul. That's special and to be savoured.
I can see why you feel it's somewhere you want to go back to time and time again.
Thank you, Gary. Keep doing what you're doing.
Thanks Russ. Love your comments and really appreciate all of your feedback. Not many mate, this place was superb.
@@GaryEats Thank you, Gary.
Thanks a lot Gary , I live in Adelaide Australia & I’m left here drooling over the Persian meal you just had ! Jealous as… Nothing comparable here despite a lot of International cuisine. When I’m back in blighty I will certainly ‘give it a go ‘ Think possibly I Could be the furthest
recommended patron of your channel. Keep on being a real critic & giving us a smile , Lexi 👍🍴
Agree Lexi, nothing like it in Adelaide but lots of good eating places.
Star of Greece?
Very kind Lexi thank you, definitely a long distance viewer and really appreciated 👍
Hi Gary, another subscriber from Australia, love your down to earth honest reviews. Keep up the great reviews;
Brilliant review, Gary. I love to see different foods. It looked amazing. I really like it when you test out new cuisines. Im hungry now.
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you
I kept thinking the smoke alarm was going off, then I remembered the Pelican crossing outside!!😂
The wrap looked delicious!
Lol 😂 the whole meal was amazing
You can have pelican at that restaurant.
The flavors in Persian food are wonderful, not hot, just a sublime combination of ingredients. I love it.
So good!
My word Gary. A website, merchandise and Tik Tok too!!! You are fast becoming a worldwide sensation proving there's life after beef in black beans 😂😂😂
Thanks again for sharing your wonderful culinary adventures. Look forward to catching you before the week is out.
Bon Appetite 😀
Thank you as always really appreciated 😊
Great to see Persian cuisine covered and that a new category of food has managed to take the top spot - I will have to make sure to Give it a Go!
It was amazing 🤩
Gary, the food looked gorgeous. Here is a recommendation for your scoring from now on - any establishment that you think exceeds the highest score of 10, give it a 10/10+ (plus or 10/10* (star) instead of 11, 12 etc. If you give it a 10+ or a 10* then this will be sufficient that the establishment exceeds the top mark you can give. It also means that no exceptional place is open to dispute or any further subjective / objective markings. In essence, markings in comparison wither others of equal stature become irrelevant as the standards are so good.
Very good idea and one I’ll take up thank you 😊
Really enjoyed this review. The food looked lovely especially the wrap. Something very calming about your videos.
Thank you Chris 👍
Magnificent review! The restaurant must be delighted as well. Thanks for this.
No idea Stephen haven’t heard from them, in fairness they didn’t know we were doing a review
The first 10+!! Well deserved by the look of it, Gary.
I know it's a different type of food, but that reminded me of a trip to Morocco, eating at a few places the locals use, had a similar chicken dish and the wraps were rediculously good as well. I absolutely loved the food out there.
That place is very much on my list of places to eat at if I get back to eating again, thanks for reviewing it, Gary 👍🏼
Your more than welcome Warren and food from Morroco coming soon thank you 😊
Some people underestimate soup, but there is a reason its served throughout the world, my favorite is leek and potato (Vichyssoise is the posh version) but in its basic form its really simple to make if you use good ingredients and it is sublime!
Simple ingredients done exceptionally well
I used to have Campbell's tomato with an oxo cube crumbled into it and a couple of slices of Danish loaf from the bakers.
Gary that was an absolute joy to watch! And i'm so excited you've got merch available! Next cup/cap/hoodie should have "THAT IS OUTRAGEOUSLY GOOD!" on it!!!! You really are one for the good guys, already looking forward to the next one! GM Rich
Very kind Rich thank you very much
I've not been a subscriber for long, but I was impressed from the start by how calm and natural your presentation style is. Would that more of the TH-cam food review content providers would sometimes just relax into their work and stop trying too hard! No names because my point is a subjective one, but the - obviously genuine - sheer joy in your facial expression puts you a class above some.
I stay way up in the frozen North East but am determined to go on a road trip in my old camper van in order to sample at least a few of the venues that you enjoyed.
Keep up the good work and, someday soon, you might be at the guests' table on "Saturday Kitchen. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Best of luck with the channel,
Regards,
Jaye ××
Hi Jaye, thank you for subscribing and commenting, I will be up in the North East in a few months, Saturday Kitchen I think not 🤣🤣
Fantastic video. Really like watching use guys. Well done on the success of your channel
Thank you! Cheers!
Go Gary, I live in New Zealand so it’s a long way to go for a meal but I am very very tempted!! Regards Dave
Now that’s a bit too far away ….. no it’s not “ give it a go” 🤣🤣
Wow that food looked amazing & your review was equally as good & enough for the cameraman to share excellent value for two people, great video Gary thanks for sharing....... let's give it go 😊
Thank you so much Lee! Very kind mate 😁
Evening Gary in my neck of the woods. Been to Bamanoosh Great to see you great vlog as always. Meal looked great love the rice looked so colourful so inviting. So glad you are so happy I am happy your happy too! Great Thank you for being you Suex
So very kind Sue thank you x
I don't think I've ever had Persian food. How interesting, especially with vegan options. The rice looks fantastic! I also love the tea pot. Thanks very much Gary.
This was outstanding Siobhan I was presently surprised
My neighbours are Iranian and they occasionally give me food. It's absolutely delicious. I have the best neighbours. They describe themselves as Iranian but their cooking as Persian.
The soup looked absolutely fantastic. I like white plates too. Don't like the modern trend in table wear. The mains could not have looked more appetizing. Beautiful. That's a good main for £19. Look at all that rice and salad.
The lamb looked great. Love the crunch when Gary bit in.
There was enough food for two there, the tea looked like an event. Such a wonderful experience.
It's a 10. 😁 Even on price, that was very competitive. It's a 10 plus as you say Gary. Great review as always. Bring on 100k.
Your very lucky Andrew never fall out 😂, presentation service and quality was exceptional and thank you 😊
"They describe themselves as Iranian but their cooking as Persian" - if you are not aware, Persia is the former name of Iran.
I am fully aware which is why I made the distinction.
Lovely restaurant and food. Great review (yet again)! Thanks, Gary.
Thank you Dale this was exceptionally good 👍
Persian food is amazing, and this place looks fantastic.
Totally agree Lee amazing 🤩
Just on presentation alone, I'd give this place 20/10, Gary! Lol
I'm so sad that I'll never get to taste Persian food, because it looks like a true symphony of taste, texture, & scent!
Just the look on your face when you tasted the tea said it all - I would have been happy simply to try that soup, as I was practically salivating seeing it.
Then you went on to the chicken & rice dish - such a plebian description of something that looked like art on a plate! Lol
Even sharing with your son, I'm amazed that you finished it all, as those portions were more than generous.
I just laughed to myself, thinking about the carvery you'd been to, with almost cold food, that, frankly, looked like someone's leftovers, compared to the Persian food!
I envy you being able to go back there whenever you feel like it, to explore everything on their menu! 👍
I was so pleased to try this Persian food 🌹
That looked quality all around. Well done Gary. Keep up this great vlogs.
Thank you, I will appreciated
Another fantastic review, Gary. Food looks really good, brilliant prices. Would love to have a mooch and shop there! Thank you for another opportunity to see something different - never tried Persian food before definitely want to try now!
Thanks for watching Fiona
Excellent review, Gary. Please, next time, try: koobideh with rice rather than in wrap, also try ghaimeh badenjan or ghormeh sabzi, Salad shirazi., it's a shame that persian food is not that popular at the moment.
I will but will definitely struggle with pronunciation 😳
I love the touch with the teapot has so much style for someone like yourself stylish 👌🏼.I have to say
I honestly can’t fault anything on your plate today .soup looked really nice and steaming hot .wraps we’re actually spot on filled with all that lovely filling 🤤.The restaurant itself says it all with a lovely display behind you with all the goodies they sell .I have to say it’s definitely full marks on all the food and the way you presented your video as always a true gentleman.Thank you Gary and not forgetting your camera man .see you on the next one .excellent stuff 👌🏼😊👍🏻💙 take care .
A truly lovely comment and really appreciated, you take care as well thank you x
Gary, you should have an episode called “Gary’s cameraman eats” where you do the video and your cameraman eats!
Ha ha.
I think you have a plan 👌
A great review as usual Gary.. and a pleasure to see that pure unadulterated joy on your face. There's a persian place ive been meaning to try in brum and your review has now convinced me to go sooner rather than later.
Thank you and I hope you enjoy the food, be interested if you could let me know when you do?
@@GaryEats will do Gary
You’ve just shot this lovely restaurant into the stratosphere! Fantastic!
It’s well deserved 👍
Persian food is excellent and that looked extremely tasty and well presented. For me it's a definite 10. Lebanese and Persian are my favorite dishes. First class review.
Thank you Colin it was top drawer 😊
You have no idea how jealous I am, sitting here in New Zealand with no possibility of eating at that restaurant. ❤
Yes, an envy among video by our man on the cuisine beat
I’m very sorry 😢
Well, that looked absolutely amazing ! I’ve never been to a Persian restaurant but you’ve now inspired me to go. No faults so I’m not surprised you went over 10 for this one. Glad the cameraman was fed ! 😊 Brilliant Gary.
Thank you Amanda a very happy cameraman 😊
You need a " Lets give it a go" t-shirt
I was going to say that😂
I think you’ll find them available 🤷♂️
My goodness. That food looked to be on a supreme plane. So utterly created with love and precision. Heavens. Wow indeed! 👌👍🤟
It was Beth unbelievable 👌
That looked great, Persian food is really tasty. Vietnamese next 😂.
On the list 😊
Wow is the right word. I'm really loving your reviews and the obvious warmth you feel for this dining experience. You have easily earned a subscriber in me. I will be cooking some Persian food before the weekend is out.
Thank you so much and hope you enjoy your food this weekend 👍🏼
That looks beautiful. Could you not get a discount for the kid making a racket in the background.... joking. That food looked spectacular & like you say, it would easily feed a couple. Another great review Gary 👍
Thank you Kay it was so good 😊
Gary your channel is absolutely amazing.
Thank you 👌
Beautiful presentation. Looked amazing . The restaurant was so eye catching inside and out . Lots to offer there as well .well worth a visit . Great review , thank you .👍👏🤩🙏🏼❤️
Hi Karen hope you are well, it was excellent presentation flavours and service and as always thank you x
I am absolutely salivating. That looked so good! I'd like to see you review more of the menu in future posts 😊
Absolutely no problem Pauline the best suggestion today 😊
Keep going mate these videos are awesome 🙌
Thanks, will do!
I really enjoy your reviews! You cover all aspects of the experiece so well I feel I am there. The food was so colorful and different. Your review was so detailed and helpful. If I were in England I would definitely be dining there. I live deep in the heart of Texas, due to your review, I checked and in our city of 2 million souls we have a Persian restaurant! I am looking forward to ordering the same dishes you did. I may say, "Gary sent me!"
Thank you so much Kathleen. Please do!
Persian tea nearly blinded me once,I left the sugar stick in the glass..
LOL
Wow a lucky escape, did it taste good 🤣
I love Persian food and this looked straight of the top drawer. There are also some great Persian cooking channels on YT. Great review as always ❤
Thank you very kind
My go to restaurant/Cafe food review channel, Keep it up Garry, I binned the MacMaster and Darren John a while back as they just end up whining about what's going wrong in their lives! Keep it food Garry! 👍
I've watched that DJ channel ( just recently) and he picked out a few decent places,but he kind of seems preoccupied or likes aiming the Camera at himself?& smirking as if he's in the possession of a private Joke&jthen he just stuff's his face,without really revealing a great deal!.So after a few Vids,that got kind of old!
As opposed to this Chap,who does very thorough, 'Down to earth' straightforward,unpretentious reviews!
And this food looked really nice!
@@jerryoshea3116 Darren John is so vein mate, He even had a hair transplant but that did him no favour's, Get old graciously is what i say 👍
@@scotty6346 My goodness! And I agree👍..And speaking from the perspective of being born in the E.End ( to Irish ☘️ Parents) I have met more than my fill of Flashy,conceited people from there& he comes across just a little like that! And that's why he bought the Super Glue for his Barnet!
Take care Scotty and all the best.
This WAS the best food review so far. We can't judge food we haven't eaten, but by now we CAN judge the joy on your face... I'm just ever so happy you found that place and had such a wonderful time! Thanks like always for bringing warmth to our hearts.
Really appreciate that. Thank you!
I live in Kingston and I drive past this restaurant every day but have never tried... based on you review ill definately 'give it a go' 😂 thanks Gary!!
Your welcome you might see me revisiting 🤣
We went today on your recommendation ,we had the lunch time special under a tenner with a drink.Amazing place,food very tasty and how lovely the staff were.Met the owner and he very kindly gave me the tea to try with all the different sugars!They have live music on a Thursday night so we will be going back.
Fantastic to hear Mollie
You need mugs that say 'Got myself a mug of Rosie Lee'
That’s an idea 💡
Don't think I've ever seen a Persian restaurant or even think to try. Looks incredible, and I will definitely be keeping an eye out, class Gaz !
Thank you Nathan the restaurant was class on this occasion
U put that darren john channel to shame
He is just trying to milk everyone and his reviews are all the same
Gary eats all the way and we all agree as your channel is growing daily
@BenPlayford-jx1oy yeah that is true
Darren is a nice guy 👍🏼 thanks for the kind words.
Fantastic once again thanks Gary!
That’s very kind Stephen
EARLY
👍
Well I’m sold! Could practically see the tears of delight when you tucked into the lamb wrap 💪
Totally amazing Ryan 😊
Screaming kids in the background would have put me off
Sometimes you just have to just smile 😊
That looked a delicous theatre of food Gary - The product around you looked so clean and beautifully presented. I've never tried Persian Tea before, but now... I mean sugar on a stick served from the most beautiful tea pot. Bamanoosh is now on my ever growing 'Gary list' of places to visit - Thanks 🤓
Thank you for the lovely comment, the simple touches amazing so was the food 😊
I would have removed 2 points for the annoying yelling kid in the background.
👍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha, in all fairness. It was only for a minute or two!
Wow the food looked delicious,what a lovely place with the shop too.Plentiful portion too❤
I was actually smiling just watching how much you enjoyed that one Gary, your face said it all ! You almost looked confused it was so good ! 👍 gutted I live do far away from Surbiton 😢
I really enjoyed Paul as you guessed and your right at times I didn’t know what to say 👍
A few miles down the road in New Malden is Ecklee supermarket, Arab goodies - dates are in season, wide variety here and cheap (Iran and Egypt biggest growers), fresh walnuts - great place for ingredients
Thank you Tony
Can’t recall when was the last time I’ve had food from the Middle East. I remember it fondly from our travels. Thanks for doing something different for all of who truly enjoy your reviews.
So kind to say and as always thank you x
Hi Gary myself and my wife live in Gdynia Poland after living and working in London for nearly 20 years really enjoying your food reviews looking forward to your next offering ❤
Wonderful. Thank you
Persion food is very interesting, very close to turkish but also very distinct. I honestly love it, especially the saffron rice! Another great video Gary and the cameraman keep it up!
Very kind thank you 😊
Will definitely visit this restaurant. An awesome review as always, thank you Gary!
You will enjoy
Really liked this review …I visited Iran about 20yrs ago..superb food and really nice people ..thanks for this one Gary 👍
Your welcome David excellent food
Gary that lamb wrap looked fantastic. Huge pot of Persian tea gratis as well.
Great reviews on TripAdvisor as well.
It was really really good 👍
Gary-that looked stunning.Didnt think it was that expensive either considering the portion size and quality.
I think on these exceptional visits you simply cant score them.Although my veg.soup has its moments!
Congrats.on all your success it's making it so personal and wide ranging that makes it compulsive viewing.
So very kind to say Michael I’ll have to award a ⭐️to top class places as suggested by a number of other comments, take care and enjoy the rest of the week 😊
Its so lovely to see a such enthusiasm for the chefs work. I'm going next week.😊
I really hope you enjoy 👍
You have sold it to me Gary, definitely giving this restaurant a go, as always another great review.
Thank you and you will love it 😊
