The restaurant brings authentic Persian flavours to the heart of Dar Wasl.
Berenjak, the acclaimed London restaurant founded by Kian Samyani, has made its international debut in Dubai. Having first opened its doors in London’s Soho in 2018, Berenjak quickly gained recognition, receiving a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2019 and maintaining its esteemed status.
Renowned for its contemporary take on traditional Persian dishes inspired by founder Kian Samyani’s familial culinary experiences, Berenjak expanded to Borough Market in 2022. The new Dubai location is situated in the emerging Dar Wasl district.
Berenjak Dubai’s interior design reflects the warmth and hospitality emblematic of Persian culture, featuring a fusion of classical Persian patterns and textiles in true Iranian style. The space is ideal for various dining occasions, boasting seating for 54 guests indoors and 40 outdoors. Plus, there’s a private dining room accommodating up to 12 people.
The Dubai menu showcases Berenjak’s signature dishes from its London locations, including Mazeh offerings like Black Chickpea Hummus and Kashk E Bademjoon, as well as coal-cooked Kebabs such as the popular Jujeh Kabab and Kabab Koobideh, served with signature Taftoon and Sangak breads. Exclusive to the Dubai menu is the Shishlik Omani, featuring succulent lamb chops marinated in dried lime, saffron, and strained yoghurt.
Attention to detail extends to the drinks menu, featuring elevated hot and iced teas, along with Berenjak’s distinctive carbonated sharbats. The Black Lime Sharbat, a refreshing blend of fresh mint and black lime, stands out as a signature offering.
Expressing his enthusiasm, Kian Samyani states, “We are thrilled to bring the spirit and flavours of Berenjak to Dubai with Belhasa Hospitality. With our unique approach to Persian cuisine, we aim to deliver an unforgettable dining experience that captures the high-energy feeling of our original London Soho location. We can’t wait to share our passion for Persian food with the people of Dubai.”
