Discover Persian Cuisine in the Heart of London
If you’re seeking a culinary journey that blends ancient tradition with bold flavour, Apadana Restaurant in Kensington is your destination. Here are five must-try dishes that showcase the richness of Persian cooking.
1. Ghormeh Sabzi – The National Stew of Iran
A fragrant herb stew made with parsley, coriander, fenugreek, kidney beans, and tender lamb. Slow-cooked to perfection and served with saffron rice. It’s earthy, tangy, and deeply comforting.
2. Koobideh – Chargrilled Minced Lamb Skewers
Our signature Koobideh kebab is made from seasoned minced lamb, grilled over open flames and served with grilled tomato and saffron rice. A true crowd-pleaser and a staple of Persian grills.
3. Fesenjan – Walnut & Pomegranate Chicken
This luxurious stew combines crushed walnuts and pomegranate molasses with slow-cooked chicken. Sweet, sour, and nutty — it’s a dish that surprises and delights.
4. Zereshk Polo ba Morgh – Barberry Rice with Chicken
Golden saffron rice mixed with tart barberries, paired with tender chicken in tomato-saffron sauce. A perfect balance of sweet and sour, and a favourite among regulars.
5. Tahdig – The Crispy Rice Crust
No Persian meal is complete without Tahdig — the golden, crunchy layer of rice at the bottom of the pot. Served as a side or starter, it’s addictive and utterly satisfying.
