Hana Persian Restaurant brings traditional Iranian cooking to West End Lane in West Hampstead. Its warm dining room provides a relaxed neighbourhood setting for families, friends and couples to explore dishes shaped by fragrant herbs, fruit, nuts, saffron and the careful balance of sweet and sour flavours.
Cold and warm starters make it easy to build a varied opening spread. Stuffed vine leaves, Persian pickles, yoghurt with cucumber and mint, spinach borani and smoky aubergine dishes sit beside salads, prawns and freshly prepared bread, introducing many of the ingredients used throughout the menu.
Traditional stews include herb rich ghormeh sabzi, walnut and pomegranate fesenjan, aubergine khoresh and gheymeh with lamb, split peas and dried lime. Each arrives with saffron rice, while slow cooked lamb shank and chicken with barberries, almonds and pistachios offer further Persian favourites.
The grill produces koobideh, joojeh, lamb fillet, chops and mixed platters served with rice, vegetables and charred tomato. Fish dishes and dedicated vegetarian stews broaden the choice, while daily opening, collection and delivery allow guests to enjoy Hana as either a leisurely meal or a convenient local order.
