Zereshk Polo Ba Morgh

Zereshk Polo ba Morgh (Barberry Rice with Chicken)

Savour one of the most beloved and iconic dishes in authentic Persian cuisine with Chef Javad’s Zereshk Polo ba Morgh. This celebrated dish, a staple at one of London’s best Persian restaurants, is often served at weddings and special gatherings.

This delightful plate features a generous half chicken, slowly cooked until perfectly tender in Chef Javad’s special Persian tomato sauce, rich with aromatic spices.

The chicken is served alongside (or atop) fragrant, fluffy saffron rice, which is adorned with a vibrant topping of sweet and tangy barberries (zereshk). These jewel-like berries provide a signature sharp contrast, complemented by the delightful crunch of toasted pistachios and almonds. This dish is a perfect harmony of sweet, savoury, and tangy flavours – a true cornerstone of Persian cooking.
