Riyadh, Get Ready for a Taste of Persia: Berenjak Restaurant

A Global Phenomenon Arrives in Riyadh

The Persian restaurant Berenjak is expanding its global reach, bringing its unique blend of traditional and modern cuisine to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Berenjak, which first opened in London in 2018, has since expanded to Dubai and Sharjah in the UAE. The new location in Riyadh marks the brand’s third opening in the Middle East.

A Whimsical Name with a Rich History

Berenjak Riyadh takes its name from the brightly colored, toasted rice eaten as a snack at funfairs in Persia. The dining experience offers a modern reinterpretation of the classic hole-in-the-wall eateries found in Tehran, uplifting the cuisine and ambience while inviting diners to explore Iran’s rich cultural history.

Menu Highlights

Berenjak Riyadh prides itself on its traditional take on Persian cuisine. The menu spans noon o mazeh, kebabs, khoresht, makhsoos, sofreh, and Shireen. Dishes include Ghormeh Sabzi with lamb, Torshi Hafebijar with cauliflower, and Zereshk Polow Ba Morgh with chicken. The coal-cooked kebabs are Berenjak’s true draw.

Berenjak Riyadh will open on 1 November, joining the FACT award-winning Gymkhana and celebrity chef-fronted Spago by Wolfgang Puck at Via Riyadh.
