Del'ish

The quintessential, vegetarian Persian appetiser of Kashke Bademjoon is the perfect way to begin a meal fit for a king at Kings Cross’ Del’ish, a restaurant offering authentic Persian, Iranian, and Mediterranean cuisine at great prices. Another choice mezze ideal for sharing is the platter of veal sausages known as soutzouki, something of an anomaly on Del’ish’s menu – these bangers are Balkan. It’s a testament to the diversity of Del’ish’s menu, though, which also includes a number of luxurious, saffron-scented treats as the zereshk polo and morgh, a chicken casserole served on fragrant barberry rice. Another specialty is the curiously named shishlick, a mouth-watering grilled dish of saffron-marinated lamb with tomatoes.

As food critic Fay Maschler pithily writes in her column in the Evening Standard, Del’ish’s mixed platters speak of skill on the grill. With delivery now available, satisfying homebound diners and nearby office workers alike, there’s no excuse not to check out Del’ish in London’s Kings Cross’, for a real taste of Persia.
