About Banoo Restaurant

Banoo delivers honest Persian cooking in Blair Athol, from charred skewers to rich regional stews blanketed in saffron rice. Regulars look forward to the rotating daily menu—featuring slow-cooked specialties alongside marinated koobideh, smoky eggplants, and bread baked right on-site. The spacious dining room easily fits large family platters, often kicked off with a surprise bowl of soup on the house. Pair the kebabs with a chilled Barbican, pat a slab of butter over the steaming rice, and mix in the blistered tomato.

  • Rotating daily specials: Weekday and weekend rotations feature regional rarities like Saturday Akbar jojeh alongside the core kebab selection.
  • In-house flatbread: Flatbread is baked on-site to accompany smoky eggplant dips, koofteh, and marinated grills.
  • Generous family platters: Generous shared trays and welcoming hospitality anchor a room built for relaxed group gatherings.

Why Dine at Banoo Restaurant

Why diners choose Banoo Restaurant for authentic Persian barbecue, family platters, and homestyle hospitality.

  • Masterfully Charred Kebabs and Fragrant Saffron Rice

    Skewer selections like koobideh and chenje are grilled juicy and paired with fluffy, fragrant saffron rice and roasted tomato.

    I ordered the kebab koobideh and chenje, and both were full of flavour, juicy, and cooked perfectly. The special Iranian rice was amazing as well — fragrant, fluffy, and exactly how it should be.

  • Rotating Daily Specials Beyond the Standard Menu

    The kitchen features scheduled daily dishes from Tuesday to Sunday, including Saturday Akbar jojeh and slow-simmered specialty stews.

    I particularly liked that they offer different options on different days, which keeps the experience fresh and interesting.

  • Homestyle Flavors That Feel Like Home

    Authentic culinary traditions and balanced Persian spices evoke genuine memories of home-cooked family tables in Iran.

    As a Persian, I can honestly say the food at Banoo felt like home! The flavors were spot on, and every dish reminded me of family meals back in Iran.

    Close second was the gheimehnesar, hidden lamb stew beneath beautifully cooked saffron rice and pops of barberies and crunchy nuts. This was everything and then some.

  • Zereshk polo ba morgh

    The zereshk polo ba morgh, which was a whole maryland, was tender and flavorful. It went very well with the rice which had pistachios and barberries.
