Price: Very Expensive

• Persian • Paddington

Growing up in Iran, where every single meal is a feast and our gatherings are based around vibrant and plentiful dishes. I fell in love with the art of Persian food which was nurtured, with age old recipe passed down through the generations. To this day I mostly make Persian food and my heart will always be there.After a 20 year career in teaching, it wasn’t easy to completely switch paths to give my passion a go, but after my first supper club in 2014, and a lot of encouragement from so many, I knew it was the right path. Since then I have enjoyed being a tv chef, working in Michelin star restaurants and writing for food cookbook. But my passion for health, the art of cooking, and creating community and a society which brings joy and change to peoples lives is still my main drive, and I feel that my supper clubs really nurture that desire and make me a very happy chef :)

Some fussy friends who eat out a lot had recommended this as a favourite option, and I could quite see why. Delicious, authentic Italian food (an excellent frittura mista followed by home-made pasta with a beautifully flavoured sauce) and a half-litre of good Sicilian wine for what, by the standards of the Bermonssey Street neighbourhood, are very reasonable prices. It was full of people enjoying themselves and chatting happily, and no wonder. The only problem may be how to get in, as it is small (but they do manage to use the space to maximum effect). I feel stupid for not having been before - we live round the corner and have quite often visited the deli that runs in the daytime -- but will certainly be back!
