Chapter I

Named for the highest peaks
of the Zagros.

Dena is the tallest massif of Iran's Zagros mountains — forty kilometres of snow-capped ridgeline above the plains of the south-west. Up there, hospitality is older than restaurants: guests fed first, plates filled twice, nobody counting.

That's the standard we cook to in Ealing. Kebabs over charcoal the way they should be. Rice steamed with saffron and served in generous heaps. And the slow khoresht — ghormeh sabzi, gheymeh, fesenjan — that need hours, not minutes.

Dena is a restaurant and a bar. Come for a full Persian dinner, a mazeh platter and a drink, live music on the right nights, or just the football with something off the grill.

Chapter III

Stay for the evening.

Dena isn't only dinner. Past the tables the room opens onto a curved counter of dark wood, exposed stone behind it, glassware hanging overhead and a cascade of mosaic lamps throwing colour down the wall.

There's live music on the right nights, and the game is on when it matters. Come for a mazeh platter and a drink, stay for the second half.

  • Live music nights — call or follow us to hear what's on this week
  • Sport on screen — a good room to watch the match in
  • Open late — kitchen and bar until 11pm
  • Full bar menu — alongside Persian tea, doogh and Istak
