My friends absolutely love Berenjak, so of course I had to see why they rave so much about it…read more Definitely make a reservation, because you will not have much luck if you are trying to walk in. Unfortunately, it seems like all the reservations are for counter seating. It was fine though, since we were able to watch them grill all the kababs in their coal-fired grill! Kept it straightforward and ordered the Feast Menu, which is £55 pp. Comes with two types of bread in Taftoon and Sangak, four starters (Mirza Ghasemi, Mast O Khiar, Hummus, and Black Truffle Olivieh), two kababs (we chose the Koobideh Kebab and Jujeh Kebab), and three sides (Shirazi, Torshi Phel Phel, and House Rice). I've never had Persian cuisine on this level as all the dishes were very unique. Even the hummus tasted like hummus I've never had before. I would say that the Jujeh Kebab took me by surprise because I don't expect white meat chicken to be very good, but this was genuinely great! Service was fine, although nothing to rave about. We were handed our bread and starters pretty quickly, but the kebabs took 25 minutes for us to get. I don't know if that was an intentional decision to space out the starters from the kababs. Since we could see that they were cranking out many kababs, maybe that was an intentional decision. I don't know. Ambience is fine. Hard to feel the ambience when we were sitting at the counter rather than an actual table. Overall, I can see why my friends love Berenjak, because everything was absolutely delicious! Worth the visit.

Stunning meal! Went in a party of 8 and so we got "the feast". It was a feast, indeed. Came out in…read more2 big sharing courses. First we had bread and dips and the flavors here were outstanding. It was very hard to stop myself from eating to bursting in this course, just knowing the main was still to come. Every dip was so good, but my favorite might have been the hummus. Unlike any other hummus I've ever tried - much thicker, really highlighting the chickpea with other nutty bits and seeds mixed in. For the main, we each chose one kebab per person, and since we had so many of us, we really had coverage of every single one they had to offer. Instead of serving the one kebab ordered in front of the person, this was served on sharing platters as well, which was perfect! These were huge and we had so much meat that everybody got to try all the kebabs. So juicy, perfectly seasoned and grilled. This course was served with more bread, rice, and bright crunchy salads with enough acid to cut the fatty meat. Plus leftover dips from the first course. Overall a delightful, rowdy, elbow to elbow and heavily laden table meal! Would highlight recommend. Sounds like reservations are hard to come by and recommend booking far in advance!

The lamb stew and chicken breast with rice were so tender and tasty!! We ordered a side of fresh warm bread which complimented the food perfectly!! The food was reasonably priced at about £8 a main. Negatives: didn't give us the grilled tomato which is supposed to come with our food and after we finished our food they didn't come and ask if we needed or wanted anything else. I would recommend this place for dates, or family meals. It was one of the best persian restaurants I've ever eaten at when it comes to the food. The ambience is nice, and the place was clean, modern, with a touch of the middle east with its lamps and mirrors. Unfortunately they dont serve alcohol, so if you want a drink you wont be having any during your meal at this place.

We had the lamb and herbs stew, royalty grill and a vegetarian grill. Every dish had the same sides ('exotic' greens, same three different rice). The stew had definitely been prepared beforehand and just heated up prior to serving (and it was a small portion for the price). Unless you're desperate I would not recommend this place.

The humus was served with a sprinkling of cinnamon, which really added to its flavor and their Lavash was warm and tasted very fresh.

The combination of the flavors and the sauce was so tasty that I added it to my salmon too. The service was excellent and their prices were reasonable.
