Oak & ember
Every evening starts the same way: a bed of oak charcoal, lit at four, glowing by six.

A long steel mangal, no gas, no shortcuts. The heat comes from below and the smoke does the rest.
Minced lamb, grated onion and a little salt, pressed onto wide steel blades one finger at a time.
Served on warm lavash with charred tomatoes, raw onion, fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon.
The skewer comes off at the table. The butter melts on its own. Tables from 5 pm, Tuesday to Sunday.

Our grill master learned on a mangal in Isfahan. He still lights it the same way: oak charcoal from a Sussex woodland, a hand fan, and patience. The saffron comes from Torbat-e Heydarieh, the bread is baked next door every morning.
Tables for up to eight. For larger groups, or to have the whole grill to yourselves, call us.
Walk-ins welcome at the counter.
