The Restaurant

Berenjak, the Iranian restaurant from Kian Samyani and JKS Restaurants, is to launch a new site in Borough Market this spring. It follows Berenjak’s first site, which opened in Soho in 2018 and was awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2019.

Berenjak Borough offers an expanded menu that includes several new homestyle Iranian dishes, alongside all the signature Berenjak classics. Just as the original Berenjak introduced diners to the flavours of Tehran’s hole-in-the-wall eateries, the new restaurant brings the classic charcoal-grilled kebabs, such as the minced lamb koodibeh and poussin jujeh tond, for which Berenjak is best known. Many of the signature mazeh small plates from our Soho restaurant also make the jump to Borough, including the black chickpea hummus, the Panir Sabzi (Persian feta with radish, fresh herbs, and nuts), and the taftoon clay-baked sourdough seeded flatbread.
