    The hallumi with sesame and honey was phenomenal. The large meze was also absolutely delicious!

    A.k.a. Snakistan. Amazing vegetarian Persian food, chilled vibes, quirky ambience. Bring a group and try everything (sharing culture), don't come here if in a rush. And yes halloumi is a must.

    Interesting blend of Persian and vegetarian food in a random part of Peckham. Friendly, warm and helpful service and accompanied by a ton of Iranian food products on the shelves a few feet away.

    An emporium of Persian goods from genie lamps to dog berries. A wonderfully characterful place with comedic twist. Food is different, tasty and cheap. Tip!

    The vegan knickerbocker glory is excellent, as is the mango, tamarind and ginger smoothie

    Weird mix of a food store and a cafe. Some great items here you won’t find in a supermarket or if you do, they’re much cheaper

    For all your Persian needs. Make sure you enter through the correct door, one is an inter-dimensional portal.
