Run by the JKS Group (who are also behind Trishna, Gymkhana, Hoppers, and Bao), the restaurant holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand recommendation."
"Bakos praised Berenjak's 'Nostalgic-meets-elevated Iranian' cuisine. She recommends the black hummus and kebabs: 'one minced lamb koobideh, and jujeh, which comprises boneless chicken breast marinated in saffron, lemon and yoghurt, alongside an array of sides, such as the fried potatoes, saffron rice and torshi. Other restaurants to make the list include Palestinian restaurant Akub in Notting Hill, family-run Kurdish spot Nandine in Camberwell, Mr Falafel in Shepherd's Bush Market, and Lebanese Grill on New Kent Road."
