What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Toot offers an authentic Persian dining experience with highly praised kebabs and flavorful stews, often served in generous portions. Diners appreciate the vibrant and welcoming atmosphere. While the food is generally excellent, some found certain dishes or portion sizes, like the calamari, to be a bit disappointing compared to the overall value and quality.
"This is a great restaurant that serves Persian cuisine, I was hesitant, however my hunger won out.
It is a relatively small restaurant with tables lined up end to end in rows, however as it was not particularly busy, this layout did not bother me.
I was served by a lovely young lady called Molly rose who provided exceptional customer service to all the customers including myself.
I did not have to wait long to be served, at any point in my stay. As this was my first time in a Persian restaurant, Molly was able to recommend a lovely dish which was cooked to perfection.
Molly rose always wore a smile on her face, which made communication very easy and enjoyable."

"Perfect.
Thank you for a wonderful lunch today.
Everything was amazing.
My partner is Persian and says Toot is the best Iranian food we’ve had anywhere in Europe. She’s right.
Genuine and done with great care and attention to detail.
They are also masters with their seasoning!
We will return very soon."

"Established Persian restaurant with brightly coloured interior and mountains of delicious food.
We had starters and mains which was an error - there was so much to eat. Thankfully the splendid saffron rice, braised beef and lamb meatballs were repackaged in takeout cartons for later consumption. You won’t leave hungry.
We attended on a quiet Monday evening but I’m assured the place can get very busy when the weather outside plays ball."

Shortly after the starters had been cleared at Toot in Plymouth, plates of individual butter portions were placed on the table, as if it was breakfast in a seaside B&B. We squinted at their silver foil wrappings. What’s that all about?
