Vida Bayat

Date & Time: Saturday, 21st February | 6 pm–10 pm

To book text or call Vida on 07884433508

Vida is our new Persian cook and describes her cooking as a symphony of flavours. It lies a delicate balance of sweet and sour, earthy and fragrant, rich yet subtle. Herbs are used abundantly, not just as garnishes but as foundational elements. Saffron, dried limes, turmeric, rosewater, pomegranate molasses, and cinnamon infuse dishes with complex aromas and deep hues.
Persian cuisine is much more than a collection of recipes — it is a living tradition, a story told in spices, stews, and shared tables. Whether you’re biting into crispy tahdig, savouring the tartness of a pomegranate-laced stew, or enjoying the aroma of freshly brewed cardamom tea, you’re tasting centuries of culture and care.
