Harden's says

Middle Eastern restaurant on Battersea Rise serving kebabs cooked on the traditional mangal grill; there are also some more unusual-sounding Persian brunch items.

A tight menu of “delicious” Middle Eastern-inspired street food, especially kebabs, is found at this Battersea Rise venue and its 2022 spin-off in Westfield Stratford. Founder Eve Bugler, an ultra-marathon runner and erstwhile director of Nando’s, launched the business in 2015 with backing from senior industry figures including former boss David Niven, Mark Selby of Wahaca and Peter Borg-Neal of Oakman Inns.

“Always delicious and very reasonably priced” – fans of this kebab-focused street-food concept in Battersea say it’s equally “lovely to eat in or take away”. It lost its Islington branch during the pandemic, but should endure as it has backing from many of ‘the great and the good’ (including Gumtree founder Mike Pennington and ex-Nando’s chief executive David Niven).

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
