Halal Reviews for Berenjak Borough

Whatever you start with, and it’s all delicious, leave room for the epic kebabs. Chicken and lamb both cooked to perfection.

Good service with a smile, and nice environment... But the overall gastronomy experience left something to be desired. Counter seating was awesome to be able to watch the chef, but perhaps there are one too many chairs attempted to be put around the counter, especially with the 'sharing plates' style (made eating a little awkward with the elbows at times). Cannot fault the taftoon (£3) or hummus (£6.50) both were incredibly unique and fresh; however the rice and kebabs were just average which surprised me for such a popular place. The chicken (£17.50) and lamb (£16) kebab, were overpriced for what you get. I'd describe the lamb kebab as a gourmet turkey twizzler and unfortunately one piece of the chicken was a bit rubbery (like water injected frozen chicken), but overall the char and seasoning on the meat was good. An okay amount of meat per kebab, but only one charred tomato and chilli, with a few seasoned raw onion slices put on a small amount of flatbread, left a lot to be desired for the kebab as a whole - would've probably been resolved with a tomato salad (£6). The house rice (£5.50) was okay, but again overpriced - buttery and had some crisp to it, but had a weird plasticy taste on some bites. The more expensive rice that people next to us got looked very impressive. Was very excited to go, but regretfully, probably wouldn't return.
