Persepolis

We had the Mezze consisting of 6 plates, a mix of both vegan and vegetarian dishes. All were delicious and tasty. It did look small at first but once you got started it was more than enough for lunch for two.

I had a really enjoyable evening, we was recommended the £30 sharing plates which included a drink and dessert and we thought why not! So we experience a lot of different dishes! It was really fun and tasty. The waiters were really knowledgeable on the dishes and made it clear to me which was vegan. Even gave me my own vegan dessert at the end. I would definitely go again. Thanks for everyone who made it great!

I’ve been fortunate enough to have visited Iran and my greatest regret of my time there is not having been able to experience its vegan cuisine. I was only vegetarian at the time and we were working long hours, so to now go beyond the ‘grab and go‘ and to savour a real experience was luscious.

The dips and the aromatic rice, the immaculate aubergine, the date- and cardamom-infused hot beverages were all wonderfully laid out as sharing platters.

Super tasty and although the place is vegetarian, the cheery knowledge of the vegan collections we fabulous.

Hidden away in south London’s Peckham, this treat is well worth venturing outside of Soho for.

Fabulous Peckham institution serving various Middle Eastern inspired dishes: all of which are vegetarian (several dishes can be made vegan).

Despite being a born and bred Peckhamite, I had never visited Persepolis until recently. I knew the shop had been there for quite some time, and the restaurant had gradually expanded over the years. It was always on my radar, but I’d never gotten around to visiting until now - better late than never I suppose!

You enter via the shop entrance and wait to be seated. They’ve utilised the space well, and although it’s compact you don’t feel overcrowded. I loved the colourful decor, and although the seating is basic it’s very comfortable.

The staff were lovely - very welcoming, and they kindly took the time to explain the menu to me. I decided to have the Falafel Flatbread, along with the Date & Cardamom Latte.

Service was pretty quick, and I thoroughly enjoyed everything I ordered. The flatbread was massive and packed with deliciousness! Combined with the accompanying chips and side salad it really was excellent value for money - but far too big for me to finish. Though the staff did offer to put any leftovers in a doggie bag for me to take home.

I shall definitely return to try more of the menu.

Perspolis Restaurant and Shop offers Persian and Middle East cuisine and a diverse selection of speciality products. With rich flavours, warm ambience, and attentive service (especially the nice Persian lady who works there), it's a must-visit for Middle Eastern food enthusiasts.

Just know that some Persian dishes are not 100% authentic as they've been subtly altered with additional ingredients or influences from other Middle Eastern cuisines, but still nice 👍🏻

Defo try their hotpot - especially Gheymeh 😋

If you are vegetarian, vegan or just like excellent food, this is the place for you. I would recommend reserving a table if you go after 7pm. Luckily, we got there around 6 pm, so we had a pick of the tables. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. They offered to walk us through the menu depending on what we wanted. We decided to go for the tasting menu with dessert and drinks, which was £30 per head or no dessert and drinks for £25. The food was amazing and they explained each dish and it came out in good time. We loved it. Also, BYOB is without corkage cost. I would happily be going back. Thank you guys!

I had the £30 menu and I had to accept defeat by dessert. Lovely food and vegetarian for all the veggies out there. Lovely atmosphere on the terrace.

Insanely tasty, flavourful food ! Generous portions and lovely staff - would highly recommend and will definitely come again. A real treasure !

went about 3 weeks ago, food was absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced, the shop and cafe were very clean and tidy and peaceful, all of the staff that we interacted with were super kind and helpful. we got a selection of starters as we wanted to try different things and the waiter helped recommend some :) the food came very quickly which was great. will definitely be back, this is probably my new favourite food spot :) (also i had a cucumber granita and it was incredible i think about it every day)

Excellent restaurant. Well priced and the feasting menu is so much food and so good.

Lovely staff - really made my birthday special. Only thing is you need to be ready to spend 2hrs here for the full feasting menu - but it is worth it.

Also catered so well for those who are gluten free or have other allergies.

Food was incredible
Loved the multiple dishes that continually kept coming out. We were never waiting for food.
We were a big group of 20ish and they easily looked after us with no issues to speak of.
They were exceptionally accommodating and clear with each dietary requirement including a nut allergy sufferer and a vegan. All round exceptional place to eat. 👌 It was packed through the place on a random Tuesday when we went and service was still 10/10.

Been past this restaurant a few times and it’s always been busy. Tried the tasting menu at the restaurant and it was amazing. Food was well presented, tasted lovely with all the flavours and was a good portion size. It’s a BYO restaurant, take a bottle of wine. Would recommend coming to this restaurant to try the food and have a enjoyable experience.

Great affordable vegetarian/vegan food. Came in as a walk in and were delighted to be met with a set menu with multiple courses including 2x drinks at £25 a head. We gave dietary requirements then sat back and waited for our 7 courses to be delivered. Personal highlights included curry potatoes with vegan cheese, various bean stews and the mezze platter. My bf had a date milkshake which was also delicious. Service was super friendly and quick despite a full restaurant. Would recommend for a chill but huge dinner. BYOB and nut-allergy friendly. Will definitely be back again

I’ve been wanting to go this place for a while and was finally glad I made it! I loved the orange flavoured tea and the mezze platter which was so freshly made. We really enjoyed having brunch here and would definitely come back.

We loved this Persian restaurant! It is so unique and every single dish was absolutely delicious! BYOB restaurant which is perfect for a dinner with friends. Also the staff is super friendly and the service is quick, finally the portions are massive so make sure you come ready for it!

The staff and vibe in the place is really nice.
Staff are very welcoming and friendly, food is excellent.
So much food, I struggled to finish it.
Would definitely return.
Mango smoothie was amazing.

I love this shop. Good flavours, prices and a bit different than the rest of the shops. You can also shop or have take aways.(not sure about the cooked food).
Great and friendly staff!
As someone not born in London, you kind of miss something places that they have a more authentic feel.
A defo recommendation!

Ate in here tonight. Was fantastic!! The staff +owner are so kind. You feel like a guest in their home eating their. So welcoming and understanding.

And the food is vegetarian which for me is perfect. They do some sort of set meal for £20 which is what we had and can see in the photos.

Food was delicious and takes away the Hassel of choosing, we ate food I'd never even heard of before was great. The deal includes starter and desert.

Even includes two drinks each coffee, juice, whatever. If you want booze it's BYOB. What more can you ask of a place!!

Simply amazing, would be good for a different, cute date.

The owner Sally Butcher has written a number of cookbooks - one of which I own (Veggiestan). I finally got round to visiting today with some friends. We went for the £20 tasting menu. And it was fantastic. I forgot to take pictures of everything as we just couldn't help diving into the food. But everything was absolutely delicious. The service is friendly, the place is relaxed, it was just perfect for a Sunday afternoon. Will definitely be back.

This iconic yellow building in Peckham is in my opinion one of the best Persian restaurants in London. The kufteh was impeccable, the flavours were amazing, fries and salad were fresh, and it was completely vegan too! The Moroccan Avocado smoothie was an absolute delight, the orange blossoms produced an unique floral scent that weirdly enough paired well with the avocados. The staffs were super friendly and welcoming. The owner of this place has actually written a few cookbooks and I could not wait to get my hands on them.
