Did you know

Owner Sally Butcher has written several cookbooks based on the shop's recipes, including Persia in Peckham, and the restaurant is BYOB with no corkage fee.

Local tip

It's small and fills up fast at weekends, so book ahead if you can; bring your own wine or beer since there's no corkage charge, and save room for the Hot Paklava Meltdown.
