Food: Lavash

Very decent Persian place in Finchley, right off the A406. Lavash gets top marks for atmosphere, presentation and food, loses some for service, which although smart and polite was a tad slow and even managed to get our order wrong (it wasn't written down, which is always a recipe for disaster).

Portions were very sizable, and the three starters and three mains proved to be more than enough for the three of us - we could have gotten away with a bit less, reducing the already fair £20 per head bill we received. The Halloumi, Prawns and Houmous were superb, while both grill dishes (kebab and chicken) were excellent. The Lamb and Ocra dish was much better than I was expecting, with a continuous supply of free oven baked bread topping it all off. Needless to say, I overate.

A great place holding it's own against the other obvious choices for Persian food, Lavash is most certainly recommended.
