Ash Reshteh Noodle and Bean Soup

Delicious and decent portions! - Nigel,NW3

I love Mehri's cooking and she always brings something extra - Sanjay,W10

great standard for take away food - felt like food youd be served at a good dinner party. only slight criticism i have is that the sauce with the lamb stew was quite watery. maybe its supposed to be like that but there was a little lake of watery liquid on my plate. still very good though and still great value - Jo,NW10

Great meal Thank you so much. - Simon,NW6

Delicious Indian cuisine, and the beef aubergines were great as not at all spicy for my wife! Decebnt portions, overall really happy! - Nigel,NW3

Very good experience, much better than your standard take-away or delivery... felt like real home cooking from someone who cared. Perhaps the quality of the sea bass could have been better, but no doubt would have had to be a lot more expensive. Thanks - Alex,W2

I only rate our meal good because the sea bass was over cooked and too dry. Everything else was super-food arrived on time, everything that should be was hot. The lamb was delicious as was the tzatziki. The salad was, as stated on the web site, large and more an enough for two. I liked that all your packaging can be recycled. - NanDee,NW3

THank you for a delcious meal. I have the followiung comments: 1. The food was beautifully packed. BUT no labels. It wouldn't need a grand label - just a scribbled name of the dish inside. 2. The food intended to be served hot was packed in plastic so I had to decant it all into seperate oven-proof dishes - luckily I had enough. 3. Why the time limit on the ordering? After all in a restaurant one spends some time on the menu - I was phoning my guests for their preferences, filling in delivery instructions etc etc.I don't pretend to be a whizz on the computer. 4. When I got to "confirm" the screen just flicked back to the menus. "Yasmin" on the phone was extremely helpful and friendly - full marks! - but the end of the process was a little unnerving. - anne,NW3

The lamb stew was delicious as was the aubergine, and the Faloodeh was a revelation. If I was being totally picky there was a not entirely pleasant lemon taste we couldn't put our fingers on in the salads, which although I know it wasn't, maybe tasted a little synthetic. This is being picky though. We will definitely be ordering from Mehri again, she was wonderful with our dietary requirements, even called to talk things through, and the food was piping hot and very generously portioned. She's a really very wonderful chef. This was are first experience of Housbites and I'm delighted we found it and Mehri in particular, I'd recommend her to everyone! - Jenny,W11

Great delicious food. And great quantity. Excellent value for money. - ivaylo,W2

Some of the best Iranian food I have ever eaten. Everything was fantastic. Very good portions size wise and very very tasty. Will definitely be ordering from Mehri again! Highly recommended! - Carlo,W2

Yet again Mehri delivered a delicious vindaloo! Yummy! - Tony,W10

Wonderful. Delivered by the chef and first delivery that tastes like it was cooked at home. My wife, who never liked home food deliveries, makes an exception with house bites. Thanks! - Leander,W2

Great food as ever. I cook myself, for both business and a lot of pleasure. Sometimes I just need to be cooked for, and those are the times I would get an often misses the mark takeaway. Now I order a meal from Mehri (my absolute favorite housebite cook) Super food, simple, yet with great depth of flavour, and a palpable sense of really having been cooked for. - caroline,W9

Fantastic, softened lamb chunks in a gorgeous Iranian stew broth! Big portions, definitely trying Mehri's cooking again. - Richard,NW10

The meat balls were great, really nicely complimented by the salad and bread. The chicken was tender and tasty and the rice had a yummy touch of saffron. - Rekha,W1H

Very happy - good portion, temperature and punctual. Many thanks. S - SHREEPAL,W2

We had a lovely meal. Both the lamb stew and the chicken dopiaza were very tasty. The meat was very tender and I especially like the chicken cumin sauce. We will definitely order it again! - Eliza,NW6

Really delightful meal, delivered promptly and on time. The main courses were piping hot, and the greek salad refreshingly cool. Very fragrantly spiced curries, with delicious yet light sauces. Thankyou Mehri - andrew,NW3

Our delivery was incredibly prompt, hot and steaming with extras--more food than we could eat! The best dish was definitely the lamb shank. - Mehdi & Sabrina,NW1

Delicious! - Laurence,W2

food v.bland - Ben,NW3

Really lovely meal, only thing was the pitta bread which was not as I had expected. - Julia,NW3

amazing food and courteous delivery with added extras. - malachy,W9

Aubergine was good. Chicken vindaloo was tasty but lacked heat (as advertised). King prawns were more like shrimps (small) and sauce was sweet. - Charles,W11

Delicious food and completely unlike a 'take away' experience. It was more like visiting the home of an excellent cook! Mehri delivered herself as we are near by, and the portions were very generous. - Matt,NW6

Lovely food, the tzatziki was delicious. Generous portions too and excellent value for money. - Kevin,NW8

Very generous portions! The food was very hot, fresh and tasty. - Scott,NW3

delicious but i would prefer it hotter. - Polly,W8

duck not the best, a bit hard the rest is good - Malek,W2

Great food as usual. - Alireza,NW6

Good quality food. - Vaibhav,W8

The chicken was especially amazing and easily fell off the bone!! Service was impeccable as Mehri called to say her driver was running late which was only by 5 minutes!!! Have already recommended housebites to my friends. - Adele,W9

The fried aubergine was overly sweet. It was supposed to have mushrooms and peppers in the sauce and there weren't any. The rice it came with was very nice though. The sauce for the meatballs tasted good but the meatballs themselves were dry and a lot of the sauce had leaked out of the container on the journey. It was supposed to come with naan bread but it came with pitta bread. The asparagus in butter garlic sauce tasted good but the asparagus was overcooked. - Emma,NW6

Fantastic tasty fresh food. Good portion sizes. - Samantha,W2

Lovely lady. Delivered promptly and a nice Lindt bunny as well! Great service and a really good idea, well done. 1 bit of constructive feedback: please wait till after we finish the meal to ask for feedback! - henryhales@me.com,W10

I love Mehri's food! - James,NW1

Excellent meal. Highly recommend. - David,NW8

A taste of Persia. Mehri's food was sensational. A wonderfully exotic Eastern culinary experience. Super lean meat which literally falls off the bone, beautifully but subtly spiced stews and vegetables, really healthy portions. Ordered at work for myself and work colleagues and she now has many new fans. We're all trying to work out how she can do it - a menu as big as most take-aways, exceptionally high-quality food at amazingly reasonable prices and all hand-delivered by the chef herself. Can't wait till I am working late again and can order from Mehri... will try her amazing sounding Persian deserts next time. - Ade,W12

It was excellent food. I didn't particularly like the Faloodeh, but that's purely personal taste. In terms of the main meal, it was authentic, delicious, and very clearly of restaurant quality. I expect Deliverance may be quite nervous if this is typical of the quality of the cooking available on housebites. - Azim,W10

We are stuffed! Thanks Mehri for a divine dinner. The chocolates were a lovely touch. - Tony,W10

Wonderful food, prompt delivery, generous portions! Mehri has cooked for us before and we've never been disappointed. Everything is beautifully prepared, fresh and delicious! - Amy,NW8

Great cook! Loved everything, especially saffron ice cream. Thank you - caroline,W9

great food and quick service - saverio,W2

The meal was delicious. I especially liked the lamb with aubergine. I'll definitely order again! - Rob,NW6

Another lovely meal from Mehri.....portions were huge! - Tony,W10

That was absolutely gorgeous thank you Mehri, and far more healthy than the usual rubbish I order in from elsewhere. We shall do this again! Many thanks. Duncan. - duncan,W2

It was a gorgeous stew. Really well cooked and yummy flavours. My first Housebite was very tasty and a great alternative to the takeaways than often miss the spot. I'll come again! - Caroline,W9

The lamb shank just fell off the bone, very. Nicely flavoured... PERFECT - Stephen,W10

Delicious mixture of dishes delivered hot and on time. Will continue to order from this talented chef. - Parvin,NW10

Sorry, but I've had food from Mehri before and it's been great but this time it wasn't as tasty - too much rice and not enough of the rest. And the lamb order came without lamb... - Ian,NW10

The lamb stew was pretty good, but the vegie stew tasted medicinal and lacked depth of flavour. Overall the food was also very greasy. Food arrived late, but that was due to an unforeseen traffic accident. - Sabrina,W2

As Mehri knows, there was a mix up and we didn't receive the above meal. She said that she would deliver it this evening instead at the same time (actually 7pm would be better than 7.30 if that is possible). Please can you or Mehri urgently confirm by email to me that we will be receiving the above meal at 7pm this evening. Many thanks. - Romana,NW10

Excellent food, on time and not expensive - Marco,NW11

Really great food, delivered on time, and lots and lots of it! - Joshua,W11

Enjoyed it - excellent food! - Bavan,NW1

Both dishes were well cooked and were a joy to eat. Will be using this service again ! - Cheryl,NW10

Top quality, best price. - Federico,NW11

Again, a lovely meal! If you are on the fence with Mehri ...dont be....what are you waiting for click order now! - Kenny,W2

Thanks Mehri for another delicious meal - Tony,W10

Fantastic food - we loved it and have ordered a few times now. Keep up the great work! - James,W9

Yet another delicious meal from Mehri! - Tony,W10

Second time we ordered from Mehri. Delicious both nights. Highly recommended. - lily,NW6

Exceptional curry! Generous portions and still hot when it arrived. Heads and shoulders above standard takeaways. - Elizabeth,NW8

Delicious food, arrived piping hot.Generous portions and very tasty. Would definitely order from Mehri again, Thank you. - Dinah,NW10

Delicious as always! - Meg,NW1

The Khoresh Badamajan was very good -like nice home-made food - I really enjoyed it. Overall it was a refreshing versus the typical oily iranian take-away options - Deepa,NW8

All the dishes were fresh and tasted delicious. The sea bass was the best I have tasted and the Aubergine - Tomato dish was very much how I like it. We are definitely going to order again. - Farah,NW2

The chicken was lovely and tender. Great rice, great naan bread. Excellent meal. - Zemmy,NW8

Lovely -- now a fan of saffron ice-cream. - Kirsten,NW10

Portion sizes were generous and the dishes were imaginative and tasty. - Meg,NW1

Lamb shank was delicious. Best take away I've had. - Ben,NW1

Great food! Mehri is such a lovely person, I felt bad she had to circle around multiple times to find my house. Would definitely order from her again. - Kenny,W2

It was a great meal and arrived exactly on time. It was perfect for a dinner party of 6. It was lovely to meet Khoresh herself! Thanks and I'll definitely be using Housebites again and also recommending to my friends and members of Six Dinners Later. - Janey,NW10

Thank you very much Mehri for a lovely meal. My comments from the last meal were actioned and I appreciate that. I look forward to my next meal. Paraic - Paraic,NW2

What a lovely evening due to the wonderful food and excellent service.We will definitely order from Mehri again. - Dinah,NW10

Another delicious experience, so tender and tasty. Thank you so much for catering to my difficult diet too! I can't recommend Mehri more highly. - Gemma,NW8

delicious - Julien,W2

Meal arrived on time. Chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Pulao rice delicious. Asparagus a bit over-cooked. Plus a generous portion of complimentary new potatoes in butter. Overall good and will try again. Thinking about the environment I thought it was a bit of overkill packing the smaller cartons in individual cardboard boxes saying house bites. I think a sticker would be more than sufficient. Look forward to more chefs joining in my area. - Jaz,NW8

Delicious. Sea bass was extremely tasty and aubergines with tomatoes and peppers melted in the mouth. Thank you for the complimentary bits for unexpected lateness, was a very nice touch and greatly appreciated. Will definitely order again. - Gemma,NW8

Chef Poornoori arrived in person at the requested time and our meal - especially the Ghormeh Zabzie - was delicious. We'll definitely order from her again - soon! - Rudi,W12

The food was a bit too sweet - Aparna,NW1

Lovely meal and a nice change from the standard takeaway options. Will absolutely order again. - Sy,NW6

The food was fantastic. Totally recommend - James,NW1

The food was tasty but it felt like an unhealthy take away like the other take aways, it was way too oily. - Paraic,NW2

Yet another delicious meal of Khoresh Ghormeh Zabzie, Chicken Vindaloo and Roast Whole Baby Chicken. Thanks so much Mehri. - Tony,W10

Huge portions, very efficient service. The fajitas were good but possibly the oiliest takeaway I have ever experienced. Which was unexpected, to be honest. The lamb was tender and good. - Karen,W10

It was a lovely meal, and topped off with some complimentary little Valentine truffles! We really enjoyed the Khoresh Badamajan in particular! The Chicken Tikka wasn't as creamy as typical chicken tikka massala---still, it was good, and probably much healthier... Thanks so much, Mehri! - Jenny,W11

Food quality with excellent! We were very impressed. Each dish was very tasty and well prepared. - Justn,W10

We had a really good dinner for Valentine's day. Everything on time and delicious. Portions are really large so you can enjoy it the day after too. On top of that, we get a little gift for this special occasion...what else !!!! Highly recommended. - Annabelle,NW6

This was our second meal with Mehri and it was even better than the first. The quail with pomegranate salad was particularly good, and we were very touched by the addition of Valentine's chocolates (and the free additional main course). We will definitely be eating with Mehri again. - Alex,NW8

Delicious and fresh! Feels more personal then other deliveries, as this one is delivered by the chef herself - we have very much appreciated that. Thank you! - Tereza,W10

Wow yet another amazing dinner of Khoresh Ghormeh Zabzie and the most amazing Chicken Vindaloo, thanks Mehri. - Tony,W10

Delicious food if a bit 'substantial'... - andrea,NW11

Delicious! And Mehri went beyond the call of duty to delivery the food when there was still so much snow and ice on the ground - thank you! We really appreciate the extra effort you went to! - Fiona,NW3

perfect! - mahmoud,NW8

what a great pleasure to receive this delicious selection from mehri - the zereshk polo was so delicious - a great way of cheering up on a cold winter's evening and generous portions too - thanks again - parvin - Parvin,NW10

Arrived on time, generous portions and very tasty. I would definitely order again. Lovely home cooked flavours. - Richard,NW6

A superb meal. The fish was fantastic - delicate flavours, and the khoresh badamajan was flavourful and delicious. Hugely generous portions too. Will be ordering from this chef regularly. - Jamie,W2

Haloumi Salad was crisp, the Asparagus was delightfully; the combination of beans and rice was interesting. We thought the chicken rather overcooked albeit tasty and the lamb shank delicious. Delivery was prompt and our chef very friendly. We will certainly use House Bites again. - Jean,NW6

The Lamb Shank was very good, but there wasn't as much meat in the Khoresh Badamajan as we would have liked. The free salad was a lovely touch and very tasty. - Ros,NW10

Good portions, rice was good. I think I thought the naan bread would be homemade rather than store bought. Rogan Josh was fine if a bit greasy. - Cathy,NW2

great as always - timo,NW10

Yet again Mehri surpassed herself with delicious Khoresh Ghormeh Zabzie and Lamb Shank with Chick peas both with ligh saffron rice. Also, very nice touch to call me later to make sure all was OK - Tony,W10

Delicious... - alice,NW10

lovely meal, generous portions and arrived on time. Thank you. - JOAN,NW6

Delighted with our first order. The food was very good, fresh and hot, delivered personally by the chef which was a lovely touch. The portions are very generous. The jalfrezi was made with tasty thigh meat and the pilau which accompanied the dish was fragrant and light - really perfect rice. Everything was well packaged and mostly in recyclable containers, which was a plus. We look forward to our next order. - Francesca,NW2

Delicious meal from Mehri and we got free bread too! - Nick,NW3

Yet another delicious meal! Tha lamb shank was devine, never tasted better. Thanks also Mehri for the extra little touch, very kind. - Tony,W10

excellent and delcious - alice,NW10

Delicious. Chicken was excellent. Will buy again. - Dylan,W11

Our first time and won't be the last! Mehri's food was really delicious, it arrived on time and was piping hot. Well done and thank you! - Tony,W10

We really enjoyed the Ash Reshteh Noodle and Bean Soup. The food came well packaged, on time and piping hot. We were very pleased with the service given and overall the food was good although the dessert did not really suit our taste. Thank you very much for a hassle-free, pleasant meal. - Aaron,NW10

More delicious food - thanks again - Parvin,NW10

Yet another delicious dinner from Mehri - Thanks lots! - TRINE,NW2

Very pleased with my order! Tasty food and excellent service! 5 stars! Thank you very much Mehri. - Julia,NW3

Another delicious meal from Mehri and the same friendly service. The asparagus in butter garlic sauce was amazing and the fish the best i have ever had. The ice-cream is addictive! Looking forward to more meals! - Parvin,NW10

I really enjoyed the Sag chicken. This was my second meal from Mehri and it was well prepared and tasty. I will continue to order from Mehri going forward as have been pleased with the 2 meals I have so far ordered. A big thank you to Mehri. - Joe,NW6

Must say I really enjoyed my food. Very tasty. It was hand delivered at the agreed time and was still very hot. I will be ordering again as so convenient and delicious. - Andy,NW10

I've been looking to try Housebites and specifically Mehri's menu for a long time, and it certainly lived up to expectation. Absolutely delicious! Full of flavour, the lamb was so tender and both meals were generous in size. I can't wait to order again! We even had complimentary mince pies, thanks very much Mehri! Excellent. - Louise,NW6

This was our first experience with HouseBites and an excellent start. The food, is, well...AMAZING. I am vegetarian (eat seafood though) but there is great choices even though 80% of mains are chicken or red meat. There was HEAPS of food. I ordered two starters, two mains and three deserts. This fed FOUR hungry people and two us us had re-heats today. So...great value for money. The food tasted wonderful; I loved the prawns and aubergine dishhes, and everyone said the chicken was nice. I thought the food was Persian, but these dishes were mostly Indian and enjoyed by our two friends who were Indian (and good cooks too). So in essence, great food and a lovely chef who brought it to us right on time. - Chris,W10

The food was excellent and very well presented. The card and the complementary dessert were very nice touches. We would definitely want to have Mehri's food again. - Alex,NW8

Generous portions and tasty. Delivered by Mehri herself and she was really nice. All in all a lovely home cooked meal, giving new choice to take aways which was greatly received! - Sonia,NW6

Friendly service, on time, complimentary mince pie! - nice touch would use again. - Parvin,NW10

Food was fantastic, would order again. - Megan,NW2

We decided to do our staff meal at work this year and contacted Housebites for suggestions for a Persian meal. They were more than accommodating and everything was organised without much effort on my part. When the food arrived, delivered by Mehri herself, it was absolutely delicious. I have high praise for Mehri's cooking skills. Two of my colleagues have lived in Iran and loved every tasty morsel. There's no doubting the authencity of each dish. The rice with berries and the Chelo special Lamb kebab deserve a special mention. Mehri provided tons of food for the money... we were in the hands of a true connoisseur. Thank you Mehri, for providing a meal fit for a Persian king! Ps: I highly recommend Mehri if you are having an office do or meal. Much better than those cold sausage rolls! :) - AVRIL,NW10

Fantastic, the food was great and a huge portion. The service was fast and friendly. Well done Mehri. - Shoshana,NW10

Many thanks! We were mighty impressed with the meal, the kids absolutely loved the chicken even our very fussy 6 year old who turns his nose up at virtually everything. The portions were very generous and beat any Indian Takeaway we've had before. Job well done and very satisfied customers. ps thanks for the mince pies - nice festive touch x - Joanna,NW10

Very well cooked and a very lovely chef who added some complimentary mince pies - nice touch! :) - TRINE,NW2

really enjoyed the food. it was light and non greasy which is perfect for me. will order again. thank you. - priya,NW10

Great food! Todays lunch from 2 Michelin starred Joël Robuchon, dinner from Mehri - no difference. - timo,NW10

Everything was delicious. Thanks again. - Sarah,NW2

The meal was really good, thank you. The portions were very generous and the flavors were great. It was nice to have the chef deliver the food as well. You can tell she puts a lot of effort and care into her meals. My partner and I shall order from her again. - Sarah,NW2

Amazing food and very generous portions. Thank you. - alireza,NW6

This was my first order from housebites and the whole concpet really works when you get delivered (quickly and on time) delectable home cooked food that is great value for money. The lamb dish must have been slow cooked all day because it was incredibly tender and succulent. All the side dishes were excellent and generous in portion and the whole experience was faultless. I highly recommend housebites and Mehri's cooking. - philippe,W10

When it arrived it was delicious, the lamb tender and beautifully cooked , the salad very fresh and zingy, the ice cream lush. It was large enough to leave some for tomorrow. Despite the glitch we will order again. - Susan,NW6

Prompt, tasty and filling, very good indeed. - Ed,NW2

Delicious food, interesting choices, on time and big portions! - Chris,NW10

Definitely superior food to any take-away I've had in the past. No greasiness or padding. Home-cooked, fine ingredients, nice portions. I'll be back for more. - Kenneth,NW3

As always, fantastic. Beef-stuffed aubergines were brilliant. I'm moving out of the area, and Mehri's cooking is one of the things I'm going to miss most! - Jamie,NW6

Wow the food was once again amazing. The Ash Reshteh was simply divine and cooked to perfection. The Khoresh Badamajan was sensational with plenty of meat and flavour. We really enjoyed the food, thanks Mehri. Mehri is a chef that not only cooks to the highest standards but she also really looks after her customers by giving complementary additions to the food ordered. That is a very nice touch. - Toufan,W12

As always great food full of flavour. - alireza,NW6

The food was exceptional with very generous portions. I would order from Mehri again and definitely recommend the food. - Toufan,W12

Lovely food, generous portions. - Jamie,NW6

the food was great and made a very easy night for dinner.... bang on time and nice and hot.... well done all :-)... not calling pizza ever again - marcus,NW6

excellent food! thank you very much! i would also have liked to rate each dish individually. Lamb gets 5 out of 5. okra and ice cream 4. - Katya,W10

Just AMAZING. Really good, tasty, fresh food; and a surprisingly big, generous portion. Probably the nicest takeaway I've ever had. Will definitely be ordering from the same chef again. Excellent value for money. - Jamie,NW6

Bland flavours, generally tasteless and uninspired. Packed in leaky plastic containers with no bag to deliver them. - Shaie,NW2

What a treat. Food was superb, lamb shank so succulent and tender and the rice dish, as you said Mehri, went with it so well. Thank you for that. Khoresh really tasty flavours. This is 5 star cooking and the service was 5 stars. Will be using again, this is far superior to any takeaway. - Pat,NW6

This was my second time ordering from Mehri, and I was not disappointed. The Lamb Shank was tender and full of flavour. Abgoosht Dizi was great as well. Once again Mehri gave us some extras. I will definitely order again soon. - Alireza,NW6

I ordered on Wednesday 5th October one of each dishes from Mehri’s menu, I had 4 guests we were amazed how every meal was cooked to perfection. I picked up the food myself as it was out of the NW10 area but the food was hot and packed well, Mehri gave us Tah diegh as extra which was delicious. The mains, sides, deserts were all so delicious and the portions were generous and meat was so tasty. What can I say about the Napoleon Cake? It was the best desert we've ever had, big enough for two people to share I will definitely be ordering from Mehri and Housebites again and recommending to friends and neighbours. 5 Gold Stars to you Mehri. Raymond from Kensington - Raymond,NW10

Mehri's Zereshk Polo was delicious. We also got tahdig as an extra. I would definitely recommend Mehri to anyone who wants a Persian home cooked meal. - alireza,NW6

The food was a real delight. Fresh as a daisy and very lean - a world away from most takeaways. Great portion size (it was enough for 2 meals) and served with a smile. Many thanks Mehri, 10/10!! Will be back! - TOM,NW10

Really enjoyed our Persian experience. Soup Was really flavoursome and tasty. Wasn't sure if the plastic pot was microwaveable? Khoresh lamb and aubergine stew was really tender and light, subtly flavoured. Only tiny criticism, I would expect more meat in future as there were only 3 or so tiny dishes in each portion. Ice cream was heavenly. All in all, I would order again. Very tasty. Lovely chef delivered herself too! - Natalie,NW6

Another deliciously tasty meal, cooked by Mehri to perfection! The Khoresh Karafs was wonderfully cooked and the lamb just seemed to melt in my mouth and the saffron ice cream was the best I've had - a brilliant end to a great meal. - Ian,NW10
