About Dourchino Persian restaurant

Tucked away in Blackburn South, Dourchino delivers smoky Persian charcoal grills and sprawling platters stacked high with saffron rice. The kitchen bypasses dry chicken breast entirely, grilling marinated chicken thigh skewers until succulent, charred, and tender alongside classic minced koobideh. Tables fill fast with shared plates of smoked eggplant dip and warm flatbread—all dished out in oversized portions that guarantee takeaway boxes for tomorrow's lunch. Diners pair their feast with fresh masto musir, roasted tomatoes, and fragrant rose tea.

  • Marinated Thigh Meat Kebabs: Skewers are grilled using marinated chicken thigh meat rather than breast cuts to keep every bite juicy and tender.
  • Abundant Takeaway-Ready Servings: Main platters arrive with mounds of saffron rice, salad, and meats sized generously enough to yield lunch the next day.

Why Diners Choose Dourchino Persian Restaurant

Authentic Persian charcoal grilling, generous portions, and shared feasts at Dourchino Persian restaurant.

  • Succulent Charcoal-Grilled Kebabs

    Charcoal-grilled chicken and lamb kebabs are seasoned and grilled to retain tenderness and juiciness, complemented by fluffy saffron rice.

    I have had many kebabs but none so succulent, flavourful and cooked to perfection.

  • Juicy Skewers Crafted from Marinated Thigh Meat

    Chicken skewers are prepared using marinated thigh meat instead of lean breast meat to ensure rich moisture and deep flavor.

    The meat was well marinated and it wasn't dry. Glad it was not made with the chicken breast.

  • Abundant Feasts for Group Celebrations

    Sprawling meat platters served with mounded saffron rice, fresh bread, and dips make group gatherings and family birthday celebrations seamless.

    We were celebrating a friend’s birthday, and we feasted! We started with dips (though we needed to order extra bread): the smoked eggplant and tomato was incredibly delicious, and the spinach and yoghurt was tasty.

  • Impressive Group Dining for Colleague Outings

    Generous shared courses and distinctive flavors impress dining parties and coworkers for lunch outings and social gatherings.

    The quality, taste, size of the serving and service was simply exceptional 👌 and they were very impressed then and still talking about it it is office.

    Quality and freshly prepared dishes 🥘🍲🍛 were so generous we had lunch for next day

  • Takeaway-Scale Quantity Providing Extended Value

    Ample servings and multi-dish spreads yield takeaway boxes, delivering high value for diners dining in or taking out.

    Foods are really fresh and delicious! We can’t finish the main so two boxes of take away!

Charcoal-grilled kebabs and classic Persian specialties served in generous portions

  • koobideh

    Get the koobideh. Seriously. Feels like a disservice to yourself and to the restaurant if you don't.

    Steven Seagull

  • chicken kebab

    The chicken fillet kebab was full of flavours. The meat was well marinated and it wasn't dry. Glad it was not made with the chicken breast.

  • Kabab barg

    Kabab barg and koobideh was amazing, juicy and nicely cooked.

  • chicken with barberries

    The chicken with barberries was good too. I love the barberries on the saffron rice. You get a whole beautifully cooked chicken leg.

  • ghasemi dip

    It's made with smoked eggplant. I have always loved baba ganoush but now my new fav is the. ghasemi. Comes with warm pita bread. Every mouthful was so delicious.

  • Kashk-e-bademjan

    Ordered a Kashk-e-bademjan entree, and a mixed kebab with an extra chicken skewer, so 4 in total. Servings were a good size with plenty of rice and salad.

  • saffron ice cream

    Had the saffron ice cream for dessert too. I like that the rose water is not too overpowering.

  • Persian tea

    finished it off with their beautiful and very fragrant rose Persian tea.

Frequently Asked Questions

How large are the portion sizes?

Portions are generous and served with ample rice and sides. Diners regularly pack up leftovers to take home, with groups often ordering fewer mains than guests or having enough food left for the next day.

What dishes are most recommended to order?

The minced koobideh is a standout favourite praised for its juicy, smoky seasoning. Other popular dishes include chicken skewers, lamb shank with dill rice, tahchin, and smoked eggplant dips like ghasemi.

Should I book a table in advance?

Reservations are accepted and recommended, especially during busy evening and weekend rushes when tables fill up and staff are working flat out. You may want to call directly to confirm your booking.

Where should I park when visiting?

Ample parking is available in the car park just off Canterbury Road directly outside the restaurant. Parking off-street is much easier than trying to parallel park along Canterbury Road itself.
