"Berenjak is a new London import known for its coal-grilled kebabs and family-style dining in a swanky setting (in Los Angeles, it's located in the garden floor of Soho Warehouse). The menu, inspired by founder Kiam Samyani's childhood spent in Tehran, features shared plates that elicit a feeling of discovery and connection - think jammy coal-fired eggplant dip simmered with tomato and strained yogurt with cucumber."
"Black truffle oliviyeh gives a luxurious take on chicken salad. The creamy blend of mayonnaise with shredded chicken, crunchy pickles, and black truffle is unapologetically rich and pairs well with sesame-crusted taftoon. The hummus has a dark hue from black chickpeas that get blended with sunflower seed tahini. The result: a dip that feels impossibly smooth - like gelato - with ample nuttiness."
"Berenjak is dark and romantic: Candlesticks burn low inside, while the garden patio - which has heaters - evokes the feeling of feasting in an enchanted forest. The only downside is the volume of the music, which doesn't always match the intimate feeling of the room. At $90 per person, the Feast menu is the ideal way to try all Berenjak has to offer."
Berenjak is a London import in Los Angeles on the garden floor of Soho Warehouse. The menu draws on Kiam Samyani's childhood in Tehran and centers on coal-grilled kebabs and family-style shared plates. Offerings include a jammy coal-fired eggplant dip simmered with tomato and strained yogurt with cucumber; black truffle oliviyeh of mayonnaise, shredded chicken and crunchy pickles paired with sesame-crusted taftoon; and hummus from black chickpeas blended with sunflower seed tahini for an impossibly smooth texture. Tikkeh masti beef fillet arrives tender. House rice is tossed with salted butter, saffron and pops of crispy rice. Candlesticks and a heater-warmed garden patio create a dark, romantic mood, though music volume can feel too loud. A $90 per-person Feast includes olives, assorted dips and flatbreads, kebabs, and date-packed white chocolate cookies.
