gilack persian in holloway road london tube archway

• Cuisine: Iranian 
• We tried two delicious dips: smoked aubergine and walnut had an unusual depth of flavour, mellowed by the nuts and cut with a sweet/sour hint of pomegranate juice; while an unctuous yoghurt, cucumber and fresh mint was a superior tzatziki, perfect to scoop up using the paper-light yard of flatbread that came lightly charred straight from the oven. Main courses range from long, flattened Persian lamb mince kebabs - meltingly soft, slightly sweet and served with good bread and fresh herbs - to a flavourful deep green lima bean stew, with pungent garnishes of pickled garlic, smoked fish and marinated olives.
