Outstanding Catering Experience – Highly Recommended! We had the pleasure of working with molana_catering for our Hafez Persian School 25th anniversary and Norouz celebration on Sunday, 23rd March at the Hilton Hotel, and we couldn't be more delighted with their service! From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. The food was incredibly delicious, beautifully presented, and thoroughly enjoyed by all our guests. Every dish was prepared with great attention to detail, capturing the authentic flavors we were hoping for. The entire catering team was exceptional—polite, professional, and incredibly friendly. Their service was flawless, ensuring that every guest was well taken care of throughout the event. They went above and beyond to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making our celebration even more special. We are truly grateful for their dedication and outstanding service, and we would highly recommend molana_catering to anyone looking for top-quality catering. Thank you for making our event unforgettable!
The food was good, the service was great, the tea was great and there were plenty of side dishes. The salad dressing was delicious. It was clean everywhere, the bathrooms were clean, the tables and cutlery were clean, there was salt and pepper on the table, but abgosht could have been cooked more, maybe because I arrived so early.
Had to book last minute for Valentine’s Day and I can say they did not let me down. I was running late but thankfully I called them and they accommodated accordingly. The food as always was delicious, koobideh with rice, grilled tomato on top. As a man of course I forgot to get flowers as they were sold out everywhere on the day of valentines. However, without even having to ask, they provided me with a flower and card to give to the Mrs. I would give 6 stars if I could. Thank you to the staff at Molana for saving me from the dog house.
Honestly I was really pleasantly surprised by this place! Well decorated, staff were on it, portions were HUGE, the food was actually really nice, and it was well-priced (on the slightly steep side, but well worth the price given portions. The bread was fresh and 10/10. The meat was juicy and very well seasoned. Rice was also fresh and buttery. I’d highly recommend! It’s also all halal
This where I always wanted to go and try the best of Persian cuisine it really blew my mind amazingly cooked meat in such a flavourful way, the aroma and texture is so potent where you could feel every bite a spacial taste , Perfect service and atmosphere, it got be tried. Will definitely try again and I would definitely recommend this place.
No wonder this restaurant is always busy! It’s a bit pricey, but I believe they serve the best Iranian dishes in the area. Plus, the staff are friendly and considerate. Highly recommended

We've visited Molana multiple times for dinner, and it has become one of our favorite spots! Every visit is a delightful experience, and this time was no exception. We ordered Kobeydeh with Naan bread, and as always, it was delicious. The Kobeydeh was flavorful and tender, grilled to perfection, and paired wonderfully with the soft, fresh Naan bread. We also tried the Doogh and Persian Ice Cream—both unique and absolutely amazing! The Doogh was refreshing with just the right hint of salt and mint, while the Persian ice cream was rich, creamy, and had that distinct taste of saffron and rosewater. It was unlike any other dessert we've had and definitely worth a try. The ambiance at Molana is warm and cozy, with a very welcoming vibe that makes the dining experience even better. The staff is attentive and friendly, adding to the overall enjoyment of the meal. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and always look forward to coming back. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience authentic Persian cuisine in a comfortable, cozy setting!
