Alounak Restaurant is a long established Persian restaurant at 44 Westbourne Grove in Bayswater. Serving the neighbourhood since 1995, it offers an informal and welcoming setting for Iranian cooking prepared on the premises with fresh halal ingredients.

The starters introduce classic Persian flavours through dishes such as mirza ghassemi, hummus, salad olivieh and halim bademjan. Aubergine, garlic, tomato, herbs, walnuts and kashk appear in rich combinations, while warm bread and mixed plates encourage diners to share several tastes before the main course.

Kebabs are cooked to order, with chicken, lamb and minced meat choices served alongside fragrant rice, grilled tomato and traditional accompaniments. Chelo khoresh bademjan, mixed kebabs and chelo kabab barg show the range between slow cooked stews, individual grills and generous meals designed for several people.

The relaxed dining room welcomes both leisurely meals and convenient collection orders, with service continuing from midday until late throughout the week. Alounak does not serve alcohol, but guests may bring their own wine, making it a distinctive choice for family dinners and informal gatherings in Bayswater.

Address: 44 Westbourne Grove, Bayswater, London W2 5SH, United Kingdom
