The Little Persian Cafe

THE LITTLE PERSIAN CAFE HAS PERMANENTLY CLOSED.

The Little Persian Cafe on Racecourse Rd Hamilton provides an ideal spot to escape for a Middle Eastern style breakfast, lunch or dinner.

With one wall covered in stylish geometric designs and a Persian rug welcoming guests, The Little Persian Cafe is also a relaxing space to observe the passing crowd.

Delicious Middle Eastern inspired cuisine comes in the form of Persian stews, dips or charcoal kebabs served with saffron rice or bread. For breakfast, the chorizo or spinach omlette or bacon and eggs are a few tempting options.

Adventurous diners will enjoy the joojeh (chicken charcoal kebab marinated in saffron, lemon juice and onions), the ghormeh sabzi (lamb stew cooked with fresh herbs), or the koobideh (minced lamb and beef charocoal kebab with special spices).

A wide range of hot drinks are also available at The Little Persian Cafe including local Montville coffee, refrigerated juices, or traditional loose leaf Persian teas such as rose, cardamon, saffron or mint served in delicate glasses.

Difficult-to-resist Persian sweets, such as naan-e gerdooi (home made walnut cookies) are the perfect way to finish off any meal.

In A Nutshell: Traditional Persian style drinks and authentic, flavorsome Middle Eastern cuisine served in the Racecourse Rd precinct.
