The ambiance is amazing--sexy, energetic, and paired with great house/techno beats that make the whole space feel alive. Everyone was warm, attentive, and genuinely fun to talk to. The food was amazing. The beef tartare was delicious with great flavor and texture. The octopus and all its fixings were also really good, even though I'm just not a butter bean person in general. The side of carrots was honestly one of my favorites--soooo good with crumbled feta, walnuts, and dates. Thanks for the recommendation and the amazing service, Zoey! Such a great stop in London and an easy yes from me.

The workers are super nice and hard working. I have been going there since 2013 so 10 years now. The food is so so so so good like there is no way I wouldn't go daily to eat there when I am in London. One of the brothers (owners) is the master chef. I only do hookah when I am travelling and only trust them with my hookah. The place is super clean and nice. I can't wait to go back to London to see everyone as yes I feel I am going back to see family at this point and eat the delicious food!

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.

First time having Turkish food. Loved it…read more Kazan is a welcoming little restaurant with a delicious selection. Seriously, everything on the menu looks so good. The complimentary bread went so well with the baba ganoush, and the chicken in the Tavuk Izgara was probably the most tender chicken I've ever had in my life.
