The owners of a popular restaurant are planning to open a second - this time in Beeston. Pistachio Bar & Kitchen, which serves Middle Eastern inspired tapas in relaxed surroundings in Sherwood, is looking to expand.
Owners Orash and Rhiannon Naini opened the restaurant, in Mansfield Road, in April 2021 after delays caused by the pandemic and building issues. Before that they operated as a takeaway during lockdown. Since then it has earnt rave reviews for the big bold flavours of the small plates and the wide range of vegetarian and vegan options.
Dips include pistachio, feta and yoghurt, and spicy red pepper, pomegranate and walnut, and sticky Middle Eastern wings, chicken or cauliflower, are served. Meatballs are both meaty and vegan, served with a variety of sauces such as sour cherry, walnut and pomegranate or garlicky roasted tomato and sumac.
