The amount of creativity, passion, and thoughts that have gone into the menu to combine the traditional Persian flavors with modern French techniques is absolutely fascinating. It’s not just the creativity and presentation, but everything also tastes incredible. If I lived in London, I would have to restrain myself not to go more frequently than once a month!
The other favorite part of my dining experience is how the tasting menu transitions from small modern French dishes, suddenly, to a Persian feast (photo attached). The chicken and the rice could be the best I ever had.
Lastly, the fact that you are sitting in the kitchen and everything is being prepared around you is an experience you won’t forget.
Dominic was really awesome and looked after us so well.
Congratulations to the chef and staff for this amazing concept and can’t wait to come back.

I’m persian so this review is definitely bias! Thank you for delicious ghormeh sabzi and salad shirazi and the best bite of kookoo sabzi. The dessert was also very innovative, I enjoyed it. I wish I had more. I was also pleasantly surprised to see lavashak with fish and it tasted great! I’m very grateful that you open the restaurant like this to try to push Persian cuisine to the next level. If I could give feedback it would be I was very disappointed the tahdig was not crispy, wasn’t a fan of the gheymeh, the olivieh nor the mocktails. I was surprised there was no pomegranate drink. Also, there’s no phone number and I received no reply through email. If there was an à la carte menu, I would go back at least once every 2 to 3 months, but because it’s a fixed menu, I will go back every couple years to experience the new innovations. The final price without alcohol for 2 was around £250. Best of luck to the chef and owner! Thank you!

We absolutely loved the place 😊 you definitely need to book and definitely don't be in a rush . The food is freshly prepared daily . Worth the wait in-between dishes as you are a tasting Michelin Star food and the tastes are AMAZING 😍 thanks to who I'd like to call my friend the Head Chef and all he's staff as they are a great bunch of people , knowledgeable, helpful and have a great sense of humour. The ambiance is so comfortable, so relaxing, you will see from my photos. I have pictures of the dishes , which I will name when I next visit as so much goes into every dish with flavours out of this world , worth treating yourself . They are also opening a wine bar across the road which will definitely be worth a visit. Top notch, everything else we eat now is bland in comparison 😁 keep up the good work guys and see you soon 🤞
The staff and service at the drunken butler are a real part of the experience. Very friendly and helpful, always ready to recommend something to drink! The decor is beautiful.
We had the Sunday lunch which is a set menu of family style eating.
All of the food was delicious, but I would say there are too many starter /dip type things for my liking. We were quite full of savoury by the time the mains arrived. Dessert was just one tiny dish at the end, I have a sweet tooth so felt a bit short changed by this.
We had an arrival drink and shared 2 bottles of wine between 4 the bill was £150 each.
I had a lovely time but probably wouldn't go again.

Fabulous meal in the city, impressive wine list and creative dishes (of course some more successful than others). Very expensive but our meal took around 5 hours and never felt long so for that kind of experience the price is understandable. The only odd thing is we were the only people in the restaurant the night we ate there - it has a cozy living room vibe so it didn't feel too awkward but was definitely a new experience.
Superb restaurant for any food and wine aficionado. The tasting lasted 3 and a half hours. Eclectic mix of cuisines and surprising ingredients combination. For example lobster topped with caviar, in a sauce of curry and a touch of vanilla (yes it was succulent). My favorite dish was the monk fish. However I was not a fan of the rare pigeon meat. The dishes are tastefully paired with carefully selected wines, including natural ones. Overall it was exquisite, a treat to oneself.
