"This place has great food"
"In my last visit, I was sitting in the restaurant for around 15 minutes and no one came to our table to give us the menu or take orders"
"We googled "restaurants for dinner" and Banoo Restaurant came up with great reviews so we decided to give it a go even though it's not really in our neighbourhood"
"BEWARE of dining out here"
"I've visited this place twice, but both experiences were marred by overcharging"
This place has great food. It is fresh and cooked to perfection. Unfortunately it has no real warm atmosphere of restaurant and you can’t see the kitchen. It feels cold and claustrophobic. The owner is nice and friendly but has no idea of running a business at the front. My suggestion is to hire juniors for attendance to customers, giving menus, asking them to start with entre’ while thinking about mains, bringing water to table specially in summer, then taking orders. Leave the hard job to the kitchen staff who are at the moment so good at their job but would loose their energy and customers if continue running their business with no waiting staffs. if the above is not possible to do , go totally by phone or app orders and people just pick up their food to take home or pay and pick up from the counter just like KFC and if they choose to sit, the place had seats and tables. Thanks in regards to great quality food . You guys need support in business to keep the quality as you started. Service good food and hygiene are essential in business, You have two and service is missing.
In my last visit, I was sitting in the restaurant for around 15 minutes and no one came to our table to give us the menu or take orders. So we left without having food there. I'm adding to my review the following lines as I couldn't reply the owner comment. Yes, we took the menu by ourselves when noone brought it to us as we tought you might be overwelmed with the only other table with 8 or 9 customers. The restaurant was empty other than that one table and I didn't see any reserved sign on any other tables. No I haven't booked as I'd been there a few times and you never needed a booking in advanced. That's interesting that you mention thet you saw me, and remeber me but no one helped us with the menu. I enjoyed your food in the past and was hoping that I were wrong that you ignored us in your restaurant but with your reply I'm sure I'm no longer a customer of yours and won't recommend you to anyone. Good luck with your high quality customer service.

We googled "restaurants for dinner" and Banoo Restaurant came up with great reviews so we decided to give it a go even though it's not really in our neighbourhood. What a gem of a place! Friendly service and fantastic food. Generous portions. Definitely try the olives and the smoky eggplant. The mixed kebab was so good we ended up ordering another serve. Not licenced so you'll need to have an alcohol free meal.

BEWARE of dining out here. The little Iranian guy with glasses will try his luck to overcharge you. This has now happened to me and our friends a number of times after dining out here. He will simply try his luck and overcharge you whatever he can. If your dining in a large group make sure to check all the prices on the menu first and ask to see the itemised bill before paying. I can guarantee you you will be overcharged considerably more that would you have consumed. The food isn't any good either if you want Persian kabab there a much better places to go to in the city or just go to a number of the Afghan kabab places on Prospect Road.

I've visited this place twice, but both experiences were marred by overcharging. On the first occasion, we ordered one take-away box, yet they billed us for five. When I called to address this, they insisted the extra charge was for the main dish, which they claimed was initially undercharged. On the second visit, they charged us more than the menu prices, citing recent changes that hadn't been reflected on the menu. Additionally, they billed us for two takeaway boxes we never received. Despite requesting a refund for the discrepancies, I found their handling of the situation unprofessional. However the food was great

A great Iranian/Persian food and restaurant. I am a food lover and I have browsed around Adelaide and interstate and Banoo is top ranked in such restaurant lists. Just recently I have been advised that I can find much better one in Gold Coast and just now I finished my food here with regret and very unsatisfiction with both food and service. Even can not be compared with Banoo, I don't tell you the name as may has bad impact on such small business which I don't want to contribute with such consequences. Anyway, I miss you guy there and see you soon as I catch Adelaide again! Cheers

Beyond the amazing food and great tastes, our recent get together at Banoo, was a "respect lesson". Long story short, when the waitress came to get the orders, asked our 2-year kids who held the menus in their hand, what they want.. they pointed out the most colourful picture and all of us got happy. She took all the other orders. After minutes she came back with two plates of that vivid picture, which made our kids happy and on top of that "confident". At last, they didn't even accept me to pay for those plates. Thanks Banoo for always homelike hospitality.
Best food and best service. One of my favourite restaurants in SA.

Another great Persian restaurant with high-quality food. I've been to this place a few times and never got disappointed. The portions are ample and testy. They bake their own bread, which is a must to try along with the meal. Overall, quite happy.

Great place with very friendly staff. The Banoo Restaurant offers a high quality food with friendly staff. Our meal arrived on time and the staff was always helpful and polite to address our requests. The kebabs were so delicious. The place is slightly small, so you may need to find something to entertain your kids if you have any. I'm not sure if this placce has a carpark but you can park your car off the street. Totally recommended to visit!

The food was cooked well with large portion sizes, a great authentic texture and tasted great. The place is set up low key nothing fancy, but it's like having meals made by an aunt, they are really friendly too. organised take away and for a specific pick up time, earlier in the day & they accommodated, thanks banoo restaurant. Note, the pricing on the menu online /on here is old pricing from around 4yrs ago ( I think it's around 20% higher now, but still decent value). Worth a visit :)!
Our favourite place to dine at! Delicious food and excellent service each time.

I have no choice to change my 4 star to 1, my wife and I went there Sunday noon 22 Oct, totally 10 people were there, no one said hello, no one brought menu and no one got order, exactly after 10 minutes we decided to leave, it is funny but no one even asked why we are leaving. I never suggest this place to anyone

what a fabulous experience! The food was so authentic and tasty. The lamb falls off the bones. The portions are great. The pricing is very reasonable. Real Persian experience. This is probably the best Persian restaurant in Adelaide. The owners are really personable. The ambience was pleasant with soothing Persian music. Really family friendly. We will come here again for sure.

It is unreal delicious and fresh food! I have never tasted anything like this in Adelaide and yet we go out every week to try new restaurants! It’s a hidden gem, very cosy and clean inside. You will visit this place once, and would want to come back again soon. Thank you for your efforts to deliver 5 star service to your customers and make this experience so pleasant. Left very impressed. Highly recommend.
A Persian Jewel this side of Adelaide! The food is always fresh and authentic. Service is always warm, welcoming and friendly. We drive 30 minutes to eat here! Lovely Banoo (Lady Head Chef) comes to speak with the customers often. Great to dine in with a group of friends or for family events. The interior decor reminds of authentic Persian restaurants. There is excellent takeaway service too. Come and try!
We always enjoy the food and the friendly atmosphere at the Banoo restaurant. In my opinion, this is the best Iranian restaurant in Adelaide. The food is delicious and the freshness is of the highest quality. The staff team is super friendly and helpful. We highly recommend Banoo restaurant, especially koobideh and Shishlik kebab.

I have visited this restaurant 3 times and everytime I enjoy the authentic food and heart warming welcoming by the young gentleman and his beautiful mother. The food is delicious, fresh and full of traditional tastes. The 2 times I visited I asked for anything special for today and the 2 times I won hidden gems of food . …
We have tried here few times and I can say despite some minor service issues which is normal the quality of food is the best. If you like Persian cuisine this is the one you should try. Home style food you rarely taste in a restaurant. Very friendly staff and family atmosphere is making this place unique. Strongly recommended.
Banoo Restaurant is a gem in Adelaide for Persian cuisine! The food is not just delicious but also incredibly yummy. Farah, and her staff are incredibly friendly – it’s like being welcomed by family.Highly recommended for a delightful Persian dining experience!

The food was so delicious we didn’t have time to take photos Delicious food customer service is amazing I called 20 mins to close time and they still served us the mum is lovely the restaurant is small but very warm makes you feel like home I would come back and recommend to my friends Thanks to mum she’s super lovely
It took an hour to get ready and I don’t think that it’s worth it because we came at 8 and they made it at 10:30 which is pretty late and it’s near lunchtime no sorry I can’t delete this because it the truth and how can u be the owner and not know that your restaurant sells breakfast on Friday morning lol!
We've been really happy with our experience at Banoo restaurant. The team is super friendly. The Koobideh, Zeresh Polo Ba Morgh, Baghali Polo Ba Mahicheh, and all the other dishes we tried were fantastic. Definitely recommended.

Most amazing Persian food in Adelaide! Lovely family who operate it themselves. I’ve lost count of how many times we have come back even though we live well over 50 minutes away! The gheime nessar and the koobideh are both to die for. Thanks for never disappointing :D
I ordered 3 skewers joojeh kebab, on the menu they priced it $25 however they said it’s $25 for 2 skewers plus $10 for the third skewers and the total is $35( which is $10 more than their menu) Pretty disappointed

Koobideh Kebab
Very hospitable place. We came after iftar so the kitchen was "cleaned out", but we insisted on "something". The owner came out with two more than generous plates of Persian food that tasted very nice. Interior lacks authencity, but food is definitely authentic
Fantastic Persian food that feels like you're eating at home. Go for generous food that feels like a warm hug. Recommend the kebabs which come with a side of fresh herbs, ghormeh sabzi is a must, gheimeh nesar, ghaboli polo and mahicheh, and fesenjan are great too.
Best in quality, Persian taste and feeling. Staff are very welcoming and warm.

I have a broken foot and I am not walking for more than a month. I ordered zereshk polo from you today. I was surprised with the Sabzi Irani that you had put in a bag for me you made my day❤❤❤ couldn't continue eating without living a 5 star review❤ …
Small, cozy space but the food is absolutely the BEST in all of adelaide - no exaggeration. If you come here, do not just get kabab because in my opinion the kabab is average but anything else on the menu is amazing especially the halim bademjoon, so good!!!
I am simply in love with this place. The lamb here is sensational. The cucumber yoghurt dip, grilled tomatoes and bread with fresh herbs all goes so well together. Great service to round it all off. Highly recommend and will be back again (obviously).
Great Iranian restaurant. Very clean interior and friendly staff. Big portions of food in affordable prices. Not many vegetarian or vegan options, however their eggplant starter is amazing and their olives sauce convinced me to like olives again.
I have the most delicious food,in a honest resturant and friendly services real favorite Iranian kebab in Adelaide after years of trying every one else. I honestly recommend every one thinking about a real food to try Banoo resturant.thanks Banoo

Oh wow - I just finished lunch and can’t get over how GOOD the food is here! It’s the mum’s cooking and she’s some sort of Persian MasterChef! From the kofta to the rice to the chicken - everything was spot on! Merci - I will be back!
I feel that the cook in this restaurant gives so much attention and love to the food that it passes to the customers! Each time I eat there I feel as my parents have cooked food for me! Excellent food but they can improve the service!
Great great food and fantastic service! Even thought it was very busy san valentine night, he made us feel welcome and very looked after. I liked the atmosphere, a very chic space but with a homey feel. I will definitely come back!
I think Banoo Restaurant now is one of the best Persian restaurant in Adelaide. last time I was there, wasn't bad but not good enough, this time? Wow fantastic, one of the best Persian food I had ever at a Persian restaurant.

Loved the food! We are planning to explore all the dishes one by one! I liked the basket of aromatic leaves which go well with all the stew dishes.
No matter what you order, you’ll enjoy every bit of it. Outstanding taste and quality and well priced. Can’t find any better Kebabs anywhere else!
