The ambiance was delightful. Daryoush was amiable, accommodating, and ensured that my mother and grandmother were comfortably settled. The woman I spoke to prior to the visit (unfortunately, I did not inquire about her name) ensured that there was a surprise for my mother, as it was her birthday. The food was also exceptional, exceptionally rich and satisfying. I highly recommend this establishment and intend to visit again.

Great atmosphere and lovely staff. Douresh went above and beyond in welcoming us. My family and I love eating Persian food and Cave was top notch! The kebabs were juicy, the rice was fluffy, and everything was served quickly. Would recommend to anyone looking for a delicious dinner in the Paddington area!

Dear Seraj We are so happy that you and your family enjoyed your visit to the Cave The owner is the main chef and Darious is one of our best waiters He is part of the Cave family now 😊🙃 By the way we are based in Twickenham and not Paddington

Loved the decor with houses cut into the cave walls. Our waiter was friendly and informative. Every course and dish we ordered was delicious
Cave • Owner
Thank you Frances for the lovely comments. The design of our restaurant took a while to complete. It all started at the beginning of December 2022 and it was completed around the end of April 2023. We wanted something completely unique and we believe this has been achieved. We have won 2 awards and we are so excited about them. One is with the Lux awards “Best emerging unique Persian restaurant 2024 in London” and another one is with the Prestige Awards “Best Persian Restaurant in London 2024”. The official announcements will be taking place around October. We hope to open more Cave restaurants in the future. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our food and decor. Thank you for your visit and we look forward to welcoming you again soon. 😃😃😃

Our first visit to the Cave, which proved to be a good experience. We were attracted by the excellent location and the appealing menu choices in this unashamedly Middle Eastern property. The food was well presented with friendly helpful service. Sadly we were the only people dining during this particular service which meant the venue lacked atmosphere. However, a very good option if you’re in St. Margaret’s, and we will return again in the future.
Cave • Owner
Dear Leigh It is really nice to hear that you enjoyed your first visit to the Cave! 😃😊 Like all restaurants we have quieter parts of the day and quieter days. We are usually very busy Friday to Sunday but some weeks we are busier during other days rather than Friday to Sunday. We have only been open for over a year so we are still working on building our presence and reputation in the hospitality sector in London. Recently we have received very exciting news. We have won 2 awards: 1 with Lux awards Best Emerging Unique Persian Restaurant in London 2024 and another one with Prestige Awards Best Persian Restaurant in London 2024. The official announcements will be taking place around October. This should be great publicity for our restaurant and we hope this will help us to get more busy. Since the opening we have had 2 music performances: 1 due to opening and another one due to the Persian NY at the end of March. We hope to have more of these events in the future. We look forward to welcoming you again. 😃😊

A regular restaurant for me as the food is wonderfully fresh and we enjoy a selection of the starters to share as a Mezza style meal. Nothing is ever too much trouble and a lot of the choices are fine for those who are Gluten Free. A family run restaurant with a great atmosphere. Thank you!

Beautifully fresh ingredients. Always a highly enjoyable meal. With a variety of hot and cold starters it's perfect for a meze style meal. Will return time and time again and with lots of gluten free choices. The owners are so friendly and a lovely 'family run' style restaurant.
