Food
Berenjak brings Persian charcoal grilling to the heart of Soho in a tight, high-energy room built around an open kitchen, and reviewers describe simply sitting at the bar stools watching the cooking as part of the appeal. Its 4.7 rating from over 6,500 reviews and one of the highest trendy scores in this batch reflect genuine, sustained demand, one reviewer notes a waiting list stretching months for the most sought-after slots. Despite the buzz, the mid-range pricing keeps it more accessible than London's white-tablecloth restaurants, making it a good fit for a fun, informal dinner with friends rather than a quiet, formal occasion.

What people say
"This spot buzzes with activity, a perfect place to enjoy a meal. I loved sitting outside on the bar stool, soaking in the open kitchen atmosphere while savoring my food. The service was friendly and attentive. Keep in mind, they charge for rice and most side dishes that many Persian restaurants usually offer for free. Overall, good food, a decent ambiance, and welcoming service made for a pleasant experience."
