From our kitchen
Homemade, right down to the bread and ice cream.
Shirin and Sasan make the dishes, Barbari bread and ice cream in their own kitchen. They welcome you personally and are happy to talk you through the menu. In spring and summer, you may also find Persian herbs from their garden on the table.
“The food is incredibly delicious, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff and management are so kind and friendly.”
“I traveled to Iran in the 90s, and the Ghormeh Sabzi here tasted just like the one I had in Tehran. So delicious and nostalgic!”
“We had Ghormeh sabzi, and Fesenjon, salad shirazi, mirza ghasemi and all were very tasty! Loved the atmosphere and the traditional Iranian decoration.”
