Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I picked this restaurant because it was close to an event we were attending later that evening. I ordered the standard kebab for one and the meat could not have been more tender and the taste was absolutely delicious. The also make their own saffron...and pistachio which is absolutely wonderful. Also, we were made very welcome from the moment we arrived to the point when we left. From being a restaurant I chose out of convenience this is now somewhere I will definitely go back to and would certainly recommend to others !!More

Excellent food and service. I ordered a delicious lamb wrap and fries for a quick lunch but didn’t get time to eat my fries as I had to take a call. The friendly and generous staff noticed this and brought out a complimentary bowl of...fries as they didn’t want me to eat the cold ones. These small gestures from honest businesses that care about their customers is not seen enough these days. I’d recommend this restaurant to anyone.More

Absolutely delicious, we went for the aubergine and yoghurt followed by mixed grill for two with garlic naan and rice. So much food and very tasty can’t wait to come back again! Love that it’s BYOB, the nearest shop is a 9mins walk away so...get in advance! Had the saffron ice cream and frozen vermicelli for dessert - wow. Can’t wait to come backMore

We were staying near SEC to go to a concert and randomly found this restaurant. The food we had was fresh and also freshly cooked to order. It was seasoned and flavoured perfectly. Lovely service - we were looked after us wonderfully. Highly recommended.

We each had different food and each was its own flavour with enough to share with each option, Meat...all cooked to perfection and flavours were just like momma would make, I am coming back and will make sure I do not eat for a day or two.More

We visit Sholeh Restaurant in Glasgow regularly and travel from Edinburgh, that shows how keen we are on Sholeh Restaurant. Great tasty Persian Cuisine and friendly staff, reasonable prices, this is a family run business and has a great atmosphere. We visited Sholeh Restaurant last...weekend and enjoyed another Iranian Chelokabab, good quality and hygiene. We will be back soon, highly recommended.More

We visited Sholeh before a concert as its not far from the O2 Academy. We were absolutely blown away! The food was absolutely delicious. If you fancy trying something a little different to the usual Chinese and Indian, you will not be disappointed. Every dish...we had was packed with flavour. Can highly recommend the lamb dish with pomegranate. The mixed starter for two gives you a nice taster of a few and they let you choose your own combination. The family running it we're really friendly and informative about the food. Lovely atmosphere in the restaurant. Can't fault it!More

Have been wanting to try here for ages as I am both an admirer of Persian cuisine and culture. We placed an order for collection and went to pick up. Almost immediately after entering the restaurant and attempting to stand out the way of the...other customers waiting we were scolded by a man working the pass, who I assume is one of/the owner due to the three of us entering together. All of us being boys he rudely said to us “is this a sausage fest? You don’t need three people to pick up a collection”. Granted, the area was quite busy and while I could understand the mans point, for him to be so rude immediately instead of just asking his paying customers politely for only one of to stay in the shop baffles me. As someone who works as a chef myself, if I were ever to be so rude to a customer I would immediately be disciplined, which is what makes me the assume the man was the owner. What this man didn’t know was that I have recently had major surgery, the order was in my name and as it was a large order my friends just wanted to make sure I could carry everything myself. We had ordered a good few sauces and they only gave us one, so we had to wait another 5 minutes while they figured out what was missing. I wasn’t bothered by this, more amused at the man behind the pass ineptness at reading checks and putting sauces in little tubs. Perhaps if he spent more time getting his orders right instead of attempting to intimidate his paying customers his service would run a little better. The silver lining was that the food was delicious, however this fact didn’t sweeten the overall experience as the for the price (mine was around £15) the meat to rice ratio was pretty poor. Don’t waste your money here, great food let down by small portions of meat and terrible rude service. This is the only time I have ever felt compelled to leave anywhere a bad review, that’s how disappointed I am with my experience of sholeh.More

First visit to Sholeh and sad to say I doubt I would return. We shared kashk-e bademjamvega and nan bread to start. It is a warm aubergine, garlic puree and was very tastey. The bread was also lovely, non greasy. For main we both had...grilled whole seabass which came with a large bowl of steamed rice, a couple of slices of tomato and fresh parsley. The fish was lovely but the rice was dry and tasteless. It really needs a sauce of some sort as too dry and lacks flavour. The worst thing about the restaurant is the very un welcoming staff., one in particular who slammed our glasses on the table. She seemed to be in a bad mood. At no time did anyone approach us to ask how our meals were or if we wanted anything else. No offer of a desert or coffee when they took the plates away.More

We tried here for the first time this month & will definitely be back as regulars! We wanted the Persian experience from start to finish & cannot fault a single aspect of the experience. The staff were so attentive to our every needs and made...the experience exceptionally enjoyable! The food was amazing & the staff had brilliant recommendations which we couldn’t fault! The portion sizes were massive and we ended up taking food home with us! We will definitely be going back and cannot wait to try more new food from the menu! It also felt as though you were the only people in the place (the staff were that attentive to each individual table that every table felt they were the priority for the staff, they even thought ahead to adapt the blinds to block out the sun for our baby!)More
