The menu’s centrepiece is its selection of kebabs.

Rice and slow-cooked dishes give the menu another clear focus. Ghormeh Sabzi is available with beef or vegetables and includes preserved lemon, while Zeresh Polo ba Morgh combines Persian chicken stew with saffron rice and wild barberries. Fesenjoon can be ordered with chicken or vegetables and is made with pomegranate, walnuts, saffron and cinnamon. There are also vegetarian versions of Fesenjoon and Ghormeh Sabzi, along with Ashe Reshteh, a Persian noodle soup containing chickpeas, beans, lentils, spinach and herbs.

Seafood diners can choose grilled king prawns or herb rice with salmon or barramundi.
