Beluga Persian Grill & Bar is a family run restaurant at 147–149 Notting Hill Gate. Serving Persian food in West London since 1999, it combines traditional recipes, fragrant herbs and carefully balanced spice in an elegant dining room suited to family meals, celebrations and relaxed dinners.
Freshly baked naan and cold or warm starters provide a varied beginning, with vegetables, herbs, yoghurt, pulses and savoury dips offering contrasts around the table. Persian rice is steamed until soft inside with a crisp base, then finished with saffron, pistachio, almonds or barberries in several preparations.
The grill includes kubide minced lamb, saffron marinated chicken, diced lamb, lamb chops and mixed platters designed for one person or a group. Fesenjan pairs ground walnuts and pomegranate with duck or lamb shank, while grilled sea bass and vegetable rice dishes broaden the selection beyond meat from the charcoal grill.
The restaurant uses halal meat and offers substantial vegetarian choices, making its shared dining format accessible to mixed groups. Persian desserts, tea, wine, cocktails and other drinks complete the meal, while takeaway, catering and private dining extend Beluga beyond regular table service.
