Persepolis

Unclaimed

A true gem ❤️ The menu is interesting and delicious. The last time I had visited, the rooftop terrace was still being built. Even in the winter, it's such a pretty and relaxing addition. If you're vegan, there's plenty for you to choose and after (or before eating) the shop is great for picking up ingredients to take home.

Located in Peckham, Persepolis is a nice mix of a Persian deli and restauran. I found the place cozy with a friendly old lady and amicable staff, offering both hospitality and tradition. The decor is very simple but warm. The deli is full of Persian goods and the rooftop is informal but pleasant to the eye. The restaurant is vegetarian friendly. The portions are generous for a fixed price of £25 per person. The old lady was generous enough as to let us bring our own drink, which we appreciated. My favorite dish was the roasted butternut squash filled with a rich mix of lentils, chickpeas and nuts. Also a must try is the grilled halloumi served with freshly baked flatbread, drizzled with honey and sprinkled with sesame seeds. At £25 per person, Persepolis delivers a well priced feast for your senses. With a £15.80 service charge added, the bill was £173.80 for six people, which is reasonable given the quality, portion sizes, and unique culinary experience. Hats down for Persepolis, not just a restaurant, but a beautiful experience full of vegetarian flavors.

The food is outstanding, with plenty of vegan dishes. The jackfruit shawarma was one of the tastiest meals I’ve ever eaten. It was also affordable too. Edited after the restaurant reply: I was wrong about the accessibility and lack of ramps for the ground floor. I didn’t see the ramps on my visit, but can believe the restaurant is welcoming to disabled diners, because they were welcoming to everyone I saw coming in. The service was excellent, with very patient, friendly and knowledgeable staff.

What great place, my first visit with a friend who knew it. We opted for one of the Light bites options as it was lunchtime, We shared the Flatbread wraps—classic falafel and the Arabic cheese w/Persian pickle. With chips, salad and dips (the hummus dip was awesome). It was very filling, and a no corkage BYOB policy was great. Lovely staff and owners. Highly recommend this gem log a place.

Excellent food! Highly recommend the feasting menu. Fantastic value for money and a delicious selection of dishes. Best falafel I’ve ever eaten. Great service. Really cool place
