Honestly one of the best Persian spots in South London, if not London. From Fair pricing, quality of food and ingredients to the atmosphere provided, you can not beat this place. Although it has a very small shop opening upstairs, you’ll be pleasantly happy to what you find downstairs. Can go on forever but go and see yourself.

Been there twice, both times the food was amazing and I just love the location and the vibe here, the food is delicious and the music so calm. The interior is so well thought out, with lots of details. We’ll come back for sure. Thank you

Nice hidden gem in Crystal Palace. Had a lovely and tasty meal last night. Food was well presented and fresh. The lamb was so tender with no fatty parts (like other restaurants with this type of cuisine). Food was hot and delicious, plus the staff were super efficient and friendly. Inside seating set the ambience for the Persian part of the world. Loved that you can bring your own drink and pay a small corkage charge... very pleasing indeed. Will definitely be going back!

Food was excellent, good quality. We had the kebabs, melt in the mouth and tasty. Breads baked fresh and so freash, crispy and thin. Real authenthic iranian food. Looking forward to going again. Been looking for an Iranian resturant as most are Turkish or Cypriot doing kebabs , this is the real deal. Went back and not disappointed, great friendly service and good quality food!

I’ve made an order on Uber eats and I have to say their food is lovely. The chicken is really good quality. Another thing I have to say which is so amazing is the packaging! Love it

I brought an Iranian visitor to Kishmish. She told me that the name of the restaurant means ‘raisin’ in Persian. An endearing name for this little plum of an eatery tucked behind Crystal Palace Parade. Watch out though - there is a very steep staircase leading down to the restaurant. The food was really tasty and we enjoyed the bread made on the premises. We had a range of dips and then shared the kebab platter. The lamb pieces kebab was so delicious. We had our Persian tea out on the open-air terrace on what was an outrageously balmy late September evening. Top marks.

One of the finest and very different Persian cuisine. I never tasted such falafels before. Aubergine starter with walnuts was surprisingly delicious. In main course everything in mix grill was so tasty. Definitely go back. Forget to mention fresh watermelon juice which was so refreshing.
