Lovely Persian cafe. We had the Persian coffee & Persian fog with the saffron cake which was delicious. The baklava cake was a bit disappointing & dry but was good to try different options. They have board games which you can play while you chat with friends. Lovely cafe.

This place is a wonderful family-operated business. Each individual member of this family is welcoming, warm, hospitable 😍all the food tastes incredibly delicious, fresh & unforgettable 😋 the ambiance was very cozy. If I wasn't worried about loitering, I would have preferred to stay longer to chat with them & enjoy their delicious food. I highly recommend for both locals & visitors to try at least once & see that they will become one of their loyal customers🥰
Very friendly & cozy persian café. We had the persian latte, herbal tea & baklavas. Will have to come back for the food as well as their desserts which looks very good! Good place to stop by for a coffee break in the old port 👌☕️
I had the pleasure of visiting Parfums de Perse Cafe for breakfast, & I'm still savouring the experience. I tried the Halim, & wow, it was the ultimate comfort dish-warm, thick, & perfectly spiced. You can tell it's made with love & traditional care, giving it an authenticity that's hard to find elsewhere. But the real surprise? Their pistachio & saffron ice cream-it's absolutely unmatched. Creamy, aromatic, & with just the right balance of saffron & pistachio. It's like a little journey to the Middle East in each bite. & then there's the pistachio cake, which is hands-down one of the best I've ever had. Moist, rich, & with a delicate nutty flavour that leaves you craving more. The staff were so kind & attentive, adding to the warm, inviting vibe of the cafe. If you're looking for an unforgettable taste experience with a personal touch, Parfums de Perse Cafe is a gem that can't be missed. I'll definitely be back soon to try more of their menu!
My GOD! The Helim was one of the best in the world. I loved the ambiance-it was cozy & welcoming, making you feel right at home. The service was amazing, so friendly & attentive. We also ordered Gheymeh Rashti & Fesenjoon, & both were absolutely delicious!
I recently ordered takeout from Parfums de Parse through Uber Eats, & I was blown away! The ash & ghormeh sabzi were incredibly flavorful & brought back wonderful childhood memories of my grandma's cooking. The packaging was impressively neat, ensuring everything arrived fresh & intact. It felt like a little taste of home delivered right to my door. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone craving authentic Persian cuisine! Five stars!
