What to order
Koobideh Kabab
Described as 'outstanding' and a 'must be ordered' dish; reviewers praise the minced lamb shoulder for its delicate spices and a 'soft and tender' texture that 'melt in your mouth.'
Jujeh Kabab
A 'generous portion' of charcoal-grilled chicken breast that is 'plump and glistening with its own juices' while remaining 'nicely charred on the outside.'
Mirza Ghasemi
An 'unbelievable' and 'intensely savory' coal-cooked aubergine dip; reviewers call it one of their 'favorite dips of all time' for its perfect balance of smokiness and tomato acidity.
Sharbat
A refreshing blackcurrant drink described as a 'butch Ribena' that is 'surprisingly authentic and unusual to find in London.'
