🍢

Koobideh Kabab

Most Popular

Hand-seasoned ground beef and lamb, shaped onto wide skewers and charcoal-grilled to juicy perfection. Served with saffron rice and grilled tomatoes.

🍗

Joojeh Kabab

Fan Favourite

Tender saffron and lemon-marinated chicken kabob, grilled over open flame. Bright, fragrant, and irresistibly juicy.

🥩

Barg & Chenjeh

Premium Cut

Filet mignon (Barg) and marinated lamb fillet (Chenjeh) — our premium kabob selections for those who want the very best Persian grilling has to offer.

🌿

Ghormeh Sabzi

Classic Stew

Iran's beloved herb stew — a deeply aromatic blend of dried herbs, kidney beans, and tender lamb, slow-cooked for hours. Served over fluffy saffron rice.

🍖

Lamb Shank

Slow Cooked

Fall-off-the-bone braised lamb shank in a rich Persian spice sauce. A true comfort dish that takes hours of love to prepare.

Fesenjan

Unique & Rich

Tender chicken in a luscious walnut and pomegranate molasses sauce — sweet, tangy, and utterly unforgettable. A true jewel of Persian cuisine.

🍚

Saffron Rice

House Specialty

Fragrant basmati rice delicately seasoned with real Persian saffron, served alongside every main dish. Our Zereshk polo (barberry rice) is equally stunning.

🫓

Fresh Tanoori Bread

Baked In-House

Our bread is baked fresh in our in-house tanoori oven — thin, slightly crispy, and warm. It's the kind of bread that makes everything taste better.

☕

Persian Tea

Traditional

No Persian meal is complete without a cup of fragrant black tea. Served in a traditional glass with sugar cubes — the perfect end to a perfect meal.
