A Passion for Authentic Flavours

Welcome

Welcome to Mehr & Mah

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.

What drives us

What Drives Us Every Day

Charcoal, not shortcuts

Every kebab goes over live coals, turned by hand. Nothing on this menu comes off a griddle because it was quicker.

Bought the same morning

Herbs, vegetables and fish are chosen by hand before service, not ordered by the pallet.

Cooked by people who eat it

The recipes are family ones. They are made the way they are made at home, in quantities a restaurant can keep up with.

A table is for sitting at

Nobody is moved on. A booking is for the evening, not for ninety minutes.

A day here

How the Day Runs

The market, at six

Herbs, vegetables and fish are chosen by hand before the sun is properly up.

The rice, at nine

Basmati is rinsed, soaked and parboiled, then steamed in a covered pot until the bottom turns gold.

The grill, at noon

Coals are lit an hour before the first table so they are settled and even by the time anyone sits down.

The room, at seven

Candles, bread from the oven, and the first order goes on.
