Berenjak: In conversation with founder Kian Samyani

  • Summary

  • Berenjak set out to reinterpret the classic hole-in-the-wall kabab houses lining the streets of Tehran. Kian Samyani, founder and head chef -who is Iranian born himself- brought his vision to life from memories of visiting Tehran as a kid. From the vibrant open plan kitchen, the fresh bread being made in the tanour by the window, to the distressed feel of the place with its exposed brick, Persian rugs and foliage. The small boho chic Persian has such a unique charm that we were really missing here.


    This episode is quite different to the others because Berenjak is backed by JKS group (JKS group own Hoppers, BAO, Gymkhana, Lyles, Brigadiers, Rice Error and a few other very successful restaurants.


    So it's not a restaurant or brand that had to start completely from scratch like the others we have chatted to so far. For that reason we don't spend too much time talking about funding and advertising. This is more of a spotlight on this chef's journey and what his vision was for this incredible and unique restaurant.


    I was delighted to see that they will be opening back up in July. Check out their instagram to see when from. In the meantime they are delivering on Deliveroo and their own website via Slerp.
