Hana-ya - Hornsby

This was our very first time trying at a Persian restaurant. We were happy that we picked such a nice place to enjoy the dinner. The saffron rice was something different, and it tasted beautifully. The portions are huge for one person, and considering the price we paid, it is very reasonable. We had to take some leftovers, and enjoyed for a second night at home. The kebab was yummy and very easy to try. Only thing we didn’t like so much was the yogurst drink. It has quite strong flavor, so if you haven’t tried it before, at least try one. Maybe you might like it better than us.

Went here after a long time and enjoyed every single item. The special has 1 koobideh (minced meat) skewer, 1 barg (tenderized steak) skewer and 1 jooje (chicken marinated with saffron and lemon) skewer. All were tender and juicy and the saffron rice complemented them well. The doogh (a yogurt drink with herbs) was pretty good too. The staff were friendly and the service was quick and smooth.

I'm on a circa 4000km road trip across the Eastern coast of our country, finding myself in Sydney, there's one thing that Sydney does better than Melbourne and that's Middle Eastern/Persian cuisine. I'm staying nearby in Hornsby and was I excited when I discovered this restaurant a short walk away. The staff are very friendly and courteous, I was seated very quickly and served very fast, they were also happy to make suggestions from the menu. The food, my Lord it tastes AMAZING! The portion sizes are huge! The food came out quickly and the decor of the restaurant is amazing. If you want a unique dining experience, then this restaurant is an absolute must visit if you find yourself in the region, or in the city in an interstate travellers perspective. Certainly a unique experience for me, compliments to the front of house staff, chefs and owners of this fantastic restaurant, I will be back next time I find myself in Sydney for sure. Keep up the great work!

It was the first time here and a fantastic experience. The manager advised kindly to find a parking space and greeted us warmly while we hadn’t reserved. The place is well decorated and cozy and convenient for birthday parties and family gatherings. Staff were nice and accessible as well as responsive. The straws came in a glass neatly that showed their attention to hygiene. The meal was tasty, juicy and well prepared. Overall, I recommend this place highly and sure their hospitality can grab anyone’s satisfaction. I appreciate the way they are managing their business. Awesome

We are a couple that is quite picky about dining out, our Indian taste pallet finds it tough to appreciate other cuisines. However, The food and service here is flavourful and excellent. We loved Doogh-fizzy yogurt drink flavoured with mint and look forward to visit again.
