Our story

More Than a Meal, A Connection

Modern Persian dining in London. Charcoal-grilled kebabs, slow-simmered stews, starters made to share, and drinks that run from saffron lemonade to a proper cocktail list.

Mehr means love and sunlight. Mah means the moon. Together they are the two halves of a Persian table: warmth by day, glow by night.

Our chef

Darius Farahani

Darius grew up in Shiraz cooking beside his grandmother and spent twelve years in London kitchens before opening Mehr & Mah. His cooking is patient Persian food: stews given the whole afternoon, rice steamed until the tahdig sets gold, and kebabs grilled over charcoal.
