# Berenjak Borough
Berenjak Borough is an upscale Persian restaurant located in London's Borough Market, opened in August 2022. The establishment reimagines a Qajari-inspired townhouse traditionally found in the rural foothills of the Alborz Mountains in north Tehran, transporting diners to this evocative Iranian setting within central London.
The restaurant serves guests seeking authentic Persian cuisine in an elegantly designed, immersive environment. Their clientele ranges from casual diners exploring Borough Market to corporate groups and celebratory occasions. The name "Berenjak" derives from a cherished childhood memory of co-founder Kian—a toasted rice snack made by his aunt during visits to Iran—embodying the restaurant's philosophy of connecting personal heritage with contemporary hospitality.
What sets Berenjak Borough apart is its theatrical approach to dining. Rather than a conventional restaurant, it functions as a cultural destination, combining authentic Persian gastronomy with carefully curated interior design that evokes the Alborz foothills. The thoughtful branding extends beyond food to create an entire sensory experience rooted in Iranian tradition.
The venue accommodates diverse dining needs through flexible spaces suitable for intimate meals, semi-private dining, and larger celebrations. Their comprehensive events programme caters to private hire, group bookings, and off-site catering, making them a destination for special occasions beyond regular service. This combination of authentic cuisine, distinctive atmosphere, and versatile event capabilities positions Berenjak Borough as a sophisticated venue that celebrates Persian culture within London's vibrant food scene.
