Zereshk

Zereshk (Persian Barberries)

Discover the unique, jewel-like tang of Zereshk, a quintessential authentic Persian ingredient highlighted in signature dishes at Chef Javad Restaurant. These vibrant, dried Persian barberries are cherished in Iranian cuisine for their sharp, slightly sweet-tart flavour profile.

Sourced for their quality, Chef Javad uses these precious berries most famously in our Zereshk Polo, where they are carefully prepared and pan-fried, often with a touch of sugar, before being scattered generously over fluffy saffron rice. They provide a stunning visual contrast and an essential burst of bright acidity that cuts through richer flavours.

You’ll also find Zereshk adding its distinctive tang as a garnish on dishes like Kuku Sabzi. Experience this unique flavour, a hallmark of authentic Persian cuisine right here in London.
