Our story

A modern Persian table in North Finchley.

Restaurant, cafe and lounge — open from morning coffee to evening cocktails.

What we cook

Persian cooking is built on patience: herbs cooked down for hours, rice steamed until it crusts, meat marinated in saffron and lime before it meets charcoal. We keep those methods and present them simply, without unnecessary decoration.

Alongside the Persian menu you'll find familiar breakfast plates, good coffee, wine and cocktails — so the room works as easily at nine in the morning as it does at nine at night.

The room

Backlit plaster arches run the length of the banquette. Pale oak panelling carries fine concentric arch lines. Marble tables, cane-backed walnut chairs and warm amber lighting make the space feel generous rather than formal.

There is a glazed terrace at the front, a lounge for drinks and a separate area that works well for private groups.
