MIXITY Restaurant and Cafe

Carlton's Persian kitchen on Lygon Street. kebabs, shisha, and a late-night crowd that stays past midnight.

A relaxed Persian lounge on the buzzy stretch of Lygon Street, with indoor seating, shisha service, and the ambient hum of a multicultural dining crowd. The vibe is social and unhurried. regulars come to linger over tea and shisha long after plates are cleared. Music gives it energy without being overwhelming. Décor is simple rather than elaborate; the draw is the room's warmth and the street view.

Shisha available indoors and outdoors. One of the few Persian restaurants on Lygon Street open late into the night (past midnight on weekends). Online ordering via app. Outdoor Lygon Street position offers excellent people-watching.

Genuine Persian kitchen with traditional dishes like koobideh, barg, jujeh and soltani kebabs alongside Persian rice. One reviewer specifically praised the use of breast chicken (rather than thigh) for jujeh, calling it more authentic. The menu also includes westernised additions like pizza that divide opinion among Iranian diners.

Budget-friendly for the Lygon Street location. Most mains in the $25-$35 range. Divided opinion on value. regulars consider it fair, critics note portions can be inconsistent relative to price. More expensive than Persian restaurants outside the inner city, but the location commands a premium.
