The origins of Iranian Cuisine may be traced back to the Persian Empire founded by Cyrus The Great during the Sixth Century. During its reign, the Persian Empire stretched from Europe’s Balkan Peninsula in the West to India’s Indus Valley in the East. Also known as the Achaemenid Empire, it was a hub of culture, religion, science, art, and technology. Being the empire stretched so far from west to east, it allowed for ingredients and spices to travel within. The diverse collection of different cultures within the
empire and its surrounding regions influenced Persian Cuisine as we know it today.

When talking about Persian Cuisine, we often tend to use words like “vibrant”, “aromatic” or “herbal”, although true, they don’t fully capture the essence of our treasured dishes. The time, technique & care taken in creating the same consistency and flavours of Mama’s stews & rice or Baba’s Kababs is truly difficult to replicate. Our traditions and practices are something we hold dear to our hearts, normally passed down through generations from close family and friends. Although slight variations can be observed as each generation tweaks the recipe for the next, the one consistent thing that stays true throughout is the love and care put into each dish.

Tastes and flavours, textures, and temperatures all need to be balanced in all our dishes. Even the contrast between sweet and sour, soft and crunchy, hot and cold can all be found in almost every meal. We offer a variety of different tastes & textures to accommodate everyone’s pallet including Vegan Options.
