At Seymour Kitchen, food is more than just a meal - it’s a celebration of Persian heritage, family traditions, and bold Middle Eastern flavours. This cosy neighbourhood eatery brings the vibrant colours, aromas, and tastes of Iran to the heart of the city, offering creative, home-style cooking in an informal and welcoming setting. With a menu that highlights family-style Persian dishes, vibrant salads, and vegetarian delights, Seymour Kitchen is a place where every meal is made with care and served with generosity.
The dishes at Seymour Kitchen are rooted in tradition, using ingredients that have defined Persian cuisine for centuries - saffron, cinnamon, rosewater, sumac, and barberries all feature prominently, adding depth and character to every bite. Small plates like Kashke Bademjan, a rich and smoky roasted aubergine dish with whey, mint oil, and crispy onions, and Mirza Ghasemi, made with burnt aubergine, garlic, and tomato, bring intense, warming flavours that are perfect for sharing. The House Hummus, blended with tahini, chickpeas, red chillies, and walnuts, is a must-try, while the Masto Musir and Masto Khiar, two refreshing yoghurt-based dishes, add a cooling contrast to the spice-rich menu.
For mains, Persian grilling takes centre stage, with dishes like lamb cutlets marinated in crushed walnut and pomegranate or boneless saffron and lemon-marinated chicken, both served with grilled tomato and fresh salad. Seafood lovers will be drawn to the Whole Pomfret, served with grilled asparagus and a bitter orange sauce, or the Sabzi Polo Mahi, featuring roasted salmon, saffron, and herbed rice, a classic Persian delicacy.
Beyond the menu, Seymour Kitchen is also a grocery haven, offering organic fruits, vegetables, and pantry staples, allowing customers to recreate authentic Persian and Middle Eastern flavours at home. From rare spices to farm-fresh produce, everything is carefully selected to bring the vibrancy of a Middle Eastern market to the local community.
With its warm, sociable atmosphere and a deep connection to Persian culinary traditions, Seymour Kitchen is a hidden gem where food lovers can gather, share, and indulge in the beauty of Persian home cooking. Whether you’re dining in, picking up a takeaway, or shopping for ingredients, every visit is a journey through flavour, history, and hospitality.
