About This Event
Three musicians, two sets, and a kitchen that keeps sending plates between them. Doors open at half past seven with a glass of saffron sharbat, and the first set begins at eight.
Our tar and setar players come from the classical radif tradition, joined by a tombak player who keeps the evening moving. Between the sets the kitchen serves a saffron tasting menu: small plates to share, a stew course, and saffron bastani to finish. The bar stays open until a quarter past eleven.
Choose a table for your party or a single seat in the front or rear block, and we will hold it for you.
Event Theme
An evening in the spirit of a Tehran courtyard concert: candlelight, low tables of mezze, and music that has been played at Persian dinners for centuries. The tasting menu follows saffron through the kitchen, from the rice to the ice cream, with a short note from the chef before each course.
Open to All
Both singles and couples are welcomeEvent Details
How to attend
Both sets are streamed live from the main dining room in Covent Garden, with two cameras on the stage. Between the sets the chef walks through the evening's tasting menu, and the dish notes stay on screen so you can cook along or order in. Your pass opens 30 minutes before the music starts, on one device at a time.
