The BEST FOOD REVIEW on the CHANNEL so FAR - WOW! 

It's amazing how quickly this channel has grown. I'm fairly certain when I subscribed about 6 months ago, Gary was at about 1K subscribers or something like that. It's a testimony to well made content though. Well done, Gary onwards and upwards!

I can imagine the next 500 customers saying "can I have what Gary had"!

Persian food is mild. There is no overpowering smell, taste, or colour because it is all about balance. Iranians use lots of dried fruits such as plums, barberries, and aromatic herbs and spices like cardamom, cinnamon, and saffron in most main dishes.

As a Persian myself, I’ve tried many types of food but I keep coming back to Persian foods, I thought it’s just me used to eating them but by watching this review , I know they are the best food and everyone loves them . Thanks Gary for this excellent upload 👏👏

Yet another example of why your channel has and will continue to grow at a rapid rate. Not just your usual politeness and respect you show others but not being scared to try different foods It really is a privilege that in major cities in the UK you can find excellent examples of cuisines from the whole world As Gary would say "just give them a go" Continued success Gary

The UK is blessed when it comes to international cuisine.

The thing i love most about your reviews Gary is the honesty, twinned with genuine admiration when a establishment deserves it, you tell it like it is and that in itself helps tremendously when choosing somewhere new to try, great channel and growing by the day ....... all the best.

Gary as my Asian Dr said once about my family 'If the whole world were like my family ( English ) what a lovely world it would be' i think of you the same way. genuine lovely human being. love and respect to you.

Hi Gary...Liverpool Kev...You are spot on....one of the best yet..!.....Disappointingly due to health and funds these days ...eating out...somewhat limited....so it is genuinely wonderful Gary to see you enjoy a fabulous meal....Years past...(Early 80s) working in The City...Square Mile as was....When funds and health were in abundance by comparison to today...eating out with new cuisine was such a treat....we used to try the Rasa Sayang in Soho....Malaysian treats that were so exotic to us at the time....Your meal tonight....was simply amazing in the same vein...Take care Gary...Keep up the good work ...Entertaining....Humorous and Mouth Watering fun...Good man !......Envious of you haha.......Liverpool Kev...

The RU-vid algorithm sometimes throws you a good choice. This channel is one of those. My wife (a Pom) and I, living in Australia, love your channel. Good, sharp episodes that are well presented, informative and fair. Keep up the great work! Warren

Iranian food is fabulous and ancient - my Iranian friend cooks similar food for us and it always blows me away - there's baby lamb stewed in pomegranate juice and saffron that made my mouth sing and little roasted peppers stuffed with various fillings and served with dips that are to die for - thanks for the review as ever

That’s why i love the authenticity of your reviews Gary .. you genuinely looked blown away by the quality of that restaurant… and the food & ambience look top notch.. it’s definitely on my list of places to go …

It had to be a 10-plus. So glad the cameraman got fed. Love that teapot so beautiful plus the tea-free. Keep finding amazing restaurants like this Gary and you going to break all the rules.

I tried to post a response... I failed. Attempt no. 2: Persian food is very sophisticated. Persians and Arabs both squeeze lemon juice in their soup. You are right that it enhances the flavour. The marinated and perfectly cooked poussin hidden under a mountain of luxuriously prepared rice, with a salad decorating the edge of the serving platter, did look absolutely appetising. I could almost smell the aroma. 😊 The tea looked delicious as well. Everything was so beautifully presented. The staff at the restaurant must be chuffed with your review. I knew that you would rate it 11 or higher. You looked so happy with it all, as if it was beyond your expectations. I must visit the restaurant myself. Thank you for taking us along. As always, it is much appreciated!!

You can tell you class without being pompous. Using the spoon for soup away from you is what dad taught me and not seen very often.

Gary you are like the best Uncle every one wants😁

I think we’d all acknowledge your total honesty when rating meals. As a result, I’m desperate to go there. Thanks for the videos and keep up the great work Gary and team.

Can confirm - Bamanoosh is absolutely amazing especially their kobideh and lamb shoulder.

18:48 I know I was a bit rude about the Fish and chips ..But now we are talking! My taste Buds were jumping! Great review on amazing food, Gary. Keep it up!!

Was lovely to see your passion and enthusiasm about this restaurant Gary. Never had Persian but think you're encouraging people to be adventurous. Nice, positive review .

Hi Gary ! This is a pleasant surprise - Persian food ! We've got that here in Sydney, too, and it is amazing . The way they cook rice with that buttery crusty bottom, wow. They are the guys who came up with biryani. They also built the Taj Mahal. And about barberries. You can still find them in English hedgerows, but wherever it's found, it's destroyed, because it harbours the wheat rust fungus. They love it in their jams, too. I think it's more interesting than cranberries. Beautiful restaurant. All their restaurants are beautiful. And I've always thought it's a great idea for any restaurant to sell their products in-house, like chilli oil, etc. I'll check out your new website and merchandise. Thanks, Gary. You're really pumping out the videos ! I think you just discovered something about Persian cuisine - you don't only get food, you get the culture. The late , great Anthony Bourdan had a whole episode dedicated to eating in Iran. It blew my mind. You can only get that in Iran. But for now, restaurants like Bamanoosh will do quite nicely. Iran gets a bad rap. But I've seen videos, people wandering the streets filming ( on You Tube ) and you know what, the girls are wearing similar fashions to what I see in Sydney, and people are genuinely happy. You want to know what people are really like, go to their country, and see for yourself, don't hear it from others or the main stream media. Thanks again, Gary !

That really did all look amazing! You’re shining a light on some great places Gary! 👍

I just kept saying 'wow!' out loud throughout this entire video! Every single aspect of this restaurant and every single detail of every dish looked absolutely amazing. Even the little side salad looked appetising in a way that a side salad has no right to do - every aspect of every dish just looked like total perfection. I totally get your 10+ rating. I only discovered your channel a couple of days ago and I'm really enjoying your videos, thanks. Great work!

I’m very glad for your experience. I’m a bit versed in Persian cuisine and that looked very proper. I’ve had portions like that elsewhere and I find it speaks to the generosity of the people. Wonderful stuff.

My word Gary. A website, merchandise and Tik Tok too!!! You are fast becoming a worldwide sensation proving there's life after beef in black beans 😂😂😂 Thanks again for sharing your wonderful culinary adventures. Look forward to catching you before the week is out. Bon Appetite 😀

That was just amazing Gary and without doubt, like you said, the VERY BEST REVIEW & FOOD. I won’t pretend to mention the names of the dishes, so I’ll mention by The soup chicken soup looked full of flavour, lovely and thick consistency. The saffron rice with the baby chicken, tender and was beautiful. The lamb wrap delightful. With the wonderful service, the amazing value for money. WOW!!! ❤❤❤ Agree 100% with your rating Gary. OUTSTANDING 👍💎👍💎👍

That looked really good Gary. The restaurant itself looked lovely and the food looked stunning and good generous portions too. Not like that dinner you had at Ramsay's place. That looked so much better than the Persian meal my brother and I had at a Persian restaurant in Plymouth that Jay Rayner wrote a rave review about in The Observer last Summer. He must have been drunk the night he went there. I enjoyed my food but it didn't blow me away like I expected and my brother absolutely hated his. But now we know. Once again that looked superb. Yes Persian food is much more fragrant and subtle than the hot burning chilli flavours a lot of people are used to and that suits me perfectly.

Just came across your channel, Gary. Great informative reviews, with a wide range of cuisines across the UK. Excellent work!

Magnificent review! The restaurant must be delighted as well. Thanks for this.

That looked quality all around. Well done Gary. Keep up this great vlogs.

Gary that was an absolute joy to watch! And i'm so excited you've got merch available! Next cup/cap/hoodie should have "THAT IS OUTRAGEOUSLY GOOD!" on it!!!! You really are one for the good guys, already looking forward to the next one! GM Rich

This video was especially good, Gary . So much so that I felt I wanted to watch it twice before commenting.I have invariably found Iranian's to be extremely courteous and refined. They have a proud, ancient and noble culture. Your choice of visiting a well recommended Persian restaurant was an exotic, culinary masterstroke. My reactions as you showed us this restaurant were that this restaurant was indeed special. You could FEEL it and discern it.Heart and soul were strongly perceived in the beauty of the authentic decor and the personal decorative arrangements. This seemed much more than a mere " business". I discerned a real heart to this restaurant . No doubt coming from proud Iranian owners. I've no doubt that seeing the food itself was a real treat bit just for myself but for many other viewers because it all seemed so novel and 'un-encountered' before. It made this particular video exciting. How many food review videos can you honestly say that about, Gary? The whole experience you had sounded sublime and very synergistic with all the different sensory components coming together to make a' whole' experience which transcended any of the usual words of praise. When you can be fortunate enough to have an experience like you just had here, Gary, you elevate these food-tasting videos. It's just as well you are the food reviewer you are because trips like this challenge you in a good way and bring out the best in you and what you are always attempting to convey to the viewer. This beautiful and special restaurant; the exquisite food, and your personal experience here, lift one's soul. That's special and to be savoured. I can see why you feel it's somewhere you want to go back to time and time again. Thank you, Gary. Keep doing what you're doing.

Great video! A food tour of your top rated restaurants is now on my bucket list. I’ve got Bamanoosh now at no.1 E Pellicic’s at no. 2. The Indian Room for a curry the Hinds Head for some fish and chips rounding off with a pub lunch at the Prospect of Whitby and maybe fit in an eggs Benedict at Mayfair…Now I can get my self kitted out with some of your merch for the trip as well, happy days! All the best looking forward to you visiting Scotland in the future 👍

I kept thinking the smoke alarm was going off, then I remembered the Pelican crossing outside!!😂 The wrap looked delicious!

What I love about Gary's channel is that it's an inspiration to cook at home. He reviews places that make the kind of food we could all attempt, whether it's simple fish and chips, a hearty breakfast or a joyous evening meal. He shows us what good looks like (and bad) and there's so much to learn from. I for one will now be looking to recreate a Persian style dish at home and share it.

Fantastic video. Really like watching use guys. Well done on the success of your channel

You hit the nail on head when you said it was a "picture on the plate and a smile on your face" say no more!

Wow that looked amazing. I went straight online to check out the full menu. I'm in Dublin but I will be looking up Persian restaurants over here. It looks right up my street. Thanks for the great review!

Really enjoyed this review. The food looked lovely especially the wrap. Something very calming about your videos.

Fantastic once again thanks Gary!

Gary, the food looked gorgeous. Here is a recommendation for your scoring from now on - any establishment that you think exceeds the highest score of 10, give it a 10/10+ (plus or 10/10* (star) instead of 11, 12 etc. If you give it a 10+ or a 10* then this will be sufficient that the establishment exceeds the top mark you can give. It also means that no exceptional place is open to dispute or any further subjective / objective markings. In essence, markings in comparison wither others of equal stature become irrelevant as the standards are so good.

Go Gary, I live in New Zealand so it’s a long way to go for a meal but I am very very tempted!! Regards Dave

Brilliant review, Gary. I love to see different foods. It looked amazing. I really like it when you test out new cuisines. Im hungry now.

High praise indeed! 👍

Thanks a lot Gary , I live in Adelaide Australia & I’m left here drooling over the Persian meal you just had ! Jealous as… Nothing comparable here despite a lot of International cuisine. When I’m back in blighty I will certainly ‘give it a go ‘ Think possibly I Could be the furthest recommended patron of your channel. Keep on being a real critic & giving us a smile , Lexi 👍🍴

I've not been a subscriber for long, but I was impressed from the start by how calm and natural your presentation style is. Would that more of the RU-vid food review content providers would sometimes just relax into their work and stop trying too hard! No names because my point is a subjective one, but the - obviously genuine - sheer joy in your facial expression puts you a class above some. I stay way up in the frozen North East but am determined to go on a road trip in my old camper van in order to sample at least a few of the venues that you enjoyed. Keep up the good work and, someday soon, you might be at the guests' table on "Saturday Kitchen. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Best of luck with the channel, Regards, Jaye ××

That looked amazing Gary. Another brilliant review and we will definitely take a trip to Surbiton. Your channel has me hooked - well done and keep up these brilliant reviews.

I am absolutely salivating. That looked so good! I'd like to see you review more of the menu in future posts 😊

Gary, you should have an episode called “Gary’s cameraman eats” where you do the video and your cameraman eats!

You have no idea how jealous I am, sitting here in New Zealand with no possibility of eating at that restaurant. ❤

Lovely restaurant and food. Great review (yet again)! Thanks, Gary.

Cheers Gary great review again!! im starving now watching that lol,The place looked lovely and relaxing,Keep the reviews coming.

Some people underestimate soup, but there is a reason its served throughout the world, my favorite is leek and potato (Vichyssoise is the posh version) but in its basic form its really simple to make if you use good ingredients and it is sublime!

Evening Gary in my neck of the woods. Been to Bamanoosh Great to see you great vlog as always. Meal looked great love the rice looked so colourful so inviting. So glad you are so happy I am happy your happy too! Great Thank you for being you Suex

The first 10+!! Well deserved by the look of it, Gary. I know it's a different type of food, but that reminded me of a trip to Morocco, eating at a few places the locals use, had a similar chicken dish and the wraps were rediculously good as well. I absolutely loved the food out there. That place is very much on my list of places to eat at if I get back to eating again, thanks for reviewing it, Gary 👍🏼

Looks like perfection on a plate, plus! Another great review Gary.

That looked great, Persian food is really tasty. Vietnamese next 😂.

You need a " Lets give it a go" t-shirt

Great video Gary, That place looked amazing an the food looked so good.

Fantastic watch, this is the most ever seen you so complementary of a restaurant Gary. 12/10 for you on the review. Thank you, I am going to seek out a Persian restaurant near me now. 👍

Persian food is amazing, and this place looks fantastic.

That looks beautiful. Could you not get a discount for the kid making a racket in the background.... joking. That food looked spectacular & like you say, it would easily feed a couple. Another great review Gary 👍

Gary your channel is absolutely amazing.

That looked a delicous theatre of food Gary - The product around you looked so clean and beautifully presented. I've never tried Persian Tea before, but now... I mean sugar on a stick served from the most beautiful tea pot. Bamanoosh is now on my ever growing 'Gary list' of places to visit - Thanks 🤓

My neighbours are Iranian and they occasionally give me food. It's absolutely delicious. I have the best neighbours. They describe themselves as Iranian but their cooking as Persian. The soup looked absolutely fantastic. I like white plates too. Don't like the modern trend in table wear. The mains could not have looked more appetizing. Beautiful. That's a good main for £19. Look at all that rice and salad. The lamb looked great. Love the crunch when Gary bit in. There was enough food for two there, the tea looked like an event. Such a wonderful experience. It's a 10. 😁 Even on price, that was very competitive. It's a 10 plus as you say Gary. Great review as always. Bring on 100k.

Excellent review, Gary. Please, next time, try: koobideh with rice rather than in wrap, also try ghaimeh badenjan or ghormeh sabzi, Salad shirazi., it's a shame that persian food is not that popular at the moment.

Thanks, Gary. Best wishes, bud. Paul xxx.

Will definitely visit this restaurant. An awesome review as always, thank you Gary!

Keep going mate these videos are awesome 🙌

You’ve just shot this lovely restaurant into the stratosphere! Fantastic!

Mate, I love the passion you show for all the food you eat. Another delicious looking review. Cheers, Gary!

Hey. I live near Kingston so gave this place a go with my husband. The service was good and food tasty but as others gave saud more balanced in flavour. Thanks for the suggestion and it opened up our eyes to all the restaurants along that stretch so will be exploring Langleys and Niko Bar. 😊

My go to restaurant/Cafe food review channel, Keep it up Garry, I binned the MacMaster and Darren John a while back as they just end up whining about what's going wrong in their lives! Keep it food Garry! 👍

Persian tea nearly blinded me once,I left the sugar stick in the glass..

Don't think I've ever seen a Persian restaurant or even think to try. Looks incredible, and I will definitely be keeping an eye out, class Gaz !

A great review as usual Gary.. and a pleasure to see that pure unadulterated joy on your face. There's a persian place ive been meaning to try in brum and your review has now convinced me to go sooner rather than later.

Beautiful presentation. Looked amazing . The restaurant was so eye catching inside and out . Lots to offer there as well .well worth a visit . Great review , thank you .👍👏🤩🙏🏼❤️

I live in Kingston and I drive past this restaurant every day but have never tried... based on you review ill definately 'give it a go' 😂 thanks Gary!!

Awesome. Glad you enjoyed it sir.

A quick glimpse of the menu is always nice, well done gary.

You need mugs that say 'Got myself a mug of Rosie Lee'

U put that darren john channel to shame He is just trying to milk everyone and his reviews are all the same Gary eats all the way and we all agree as your channel is growing daily

Another fantastic review, Gary. Food looks really good, brilliant prices. Would love to have a mooch and shop there! Thank you for another opportunity to see something different - never tried Persian food before definitely want to try now!

Gary, love watching you videos but this one is superb ! Well done and thanks for entertaining everyone 👍

EARLY

Screaming kids in the background would have put me off

Well, that looked absolutely amazing ! I’ve never been to a Persian restaurant but you’ve now inspired me to go. No faults so I’m not surprised you went over 10 for this one. Glad the cameraman was fed ! 😊 Brilliant Gary.

You explain everything so well Gary

I would have removed 2 points for the annoying yelling kid in the background.

Very good video again Gary.You obviously enjoyed the food and the different flavours.Also the presentation of your meal was excellent.It was obvious that you had an excellent meal and your marks reflected that.I have no doubts you will be back

Wow Gary that's a huge statement to make about Bamanoosh and it's definitely a place I'll go out of my way to visit when I'm over near that area. It all looked totally delicious but not much of a descriptive review because you just couldn't put into words how good it was. Defo a top mark. You should have what you might call a "Golden 10" for situations like this. Great stuff 👏👏👍👍

I was actually smiling just watching how much you enjoyed that one Gary, your face said it all ! You almost looked confused it was so good ! 👍 gutted I live do far away from Surbiton 😢

Great review and fantastic looking food, thanks for sharing with us

Great video. As I started watching this I poured myself a Turkish tea(after ages from my wardrobe), not very different from Persian Tea, full of rose petals, tea, cardamom...and enjoyed your meal a little more. As an Indian, Persian cuisine can be mild which is a good thing. My personal experiences have been mixed for the places I have tried it at, sometimes the meat tends to be dryish, and sometimes the flavors are not uniform, so I am glad everything was a 10 on 10 for you. May be next time you can try some dessert there too.

Very original and looked fantastic. Thanks Gary 🎉

Wow is the right word. I'm really loving your reviews and the obvious warmth you feel for this dining experience. You have easily earned a subscriber in me. I will be cooking some Persian food before the weekend is out.

Looked lovely...presentation was excellent..hearing your mmmm's....a well deserved over the ten mark. Never eaten Persian food. Will deffo give it a go though..ty for sharing Gary..great honest review as always 🎉

Love your enthusiasm. Another top review.

Looks delicious! Especially the lamb wrap.

Oh, wow! I’ve only been watching a few minutes and already I’m enchanted with what I’ve seen! Beautiful environment, atmosphere and the tea! 😃Fabulous! I’m sure I’ll have more to comment on when I finish watching!
