Grilled Tomato

Grilled Tomato Skewer (Gojeh Kababi)

An essential and inseparable part of the authentic Persian kebab experience. Chef Javad’s Grilled Tomato Skewer (Gojeh Kababi) is a simple yet vital accompaniment, prepared traditionally at Chef Javad Restaurant, one of London’s best for Persian cuisine.

Whole, ripe tomatoes are skewered and chargrilled over an open flame until they are soft, blistered, and beautifully smoky. Grilling concentrates their natural sweetness while adding a delicious charred flavour.

These grilled tomatoes are the perfect juicy and slightly tangy partner to cut through the richness of our signature chargrilled kebabs, releasing their flavourful juices over the rice and meat.
