Welcome

Shanzelize, on Kilburn Bridge

Good food is about more than what arrives at the table. It’s about sitting down together, taking your time and enjoying the company you’re with.

We’re rooted in authentic Persian cooking — saffron rice, slow-cooked lamb, freshly grilled kebabs and classic starters, made for sharing.

Come for freshly made coffee, a relaxed afternoon with friends, or an evening out front over shisha. Our covered outdoor seating is a big part of what makes Shanzelize what it is.

    One of the best Iranian food experiences I’ve had! The Ghormeh Sabzi was absolutely perfect — rich with the aroma of fresh herbs and dried lime, and the meat was tender and flavorful. The Fesenjan was just as amazing — perfectly balanced between sweet and tangy, with a deep, rich walnut sauce. The Persian rice was cooked to perfection, fluffy and fragrant. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were very polite and attentive. If you’re looking for authentic and delicious Persian cuisine, this place is a must-try!

The dishes were fresh, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented A special mention goes to the lovely lady who works there. She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel like guests in her own home. Her genuine smile and helpful suggestions added so much to the dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone who loves Persian cuisine and warm hospitality.

    Must say, i did have a feeling that it must be good the cuisine, and often passed past it. Well my feeling was not right, is better than i thought, i had a gigantic wrap mix, and must say is one of the BEST wraps i had lately! Guys thank you for making my last cheat meal for a while now such a good one!

    Fresh and delicious Turkish and Arabic breakfasts. The Turkish breakfast with sucuk really reminds you of the authentic breakfasts around Taksim Square in Istanbul. The rice quality is great, and the kebabs are absolutely tasty. A perfect place for hanging out with friends and enjoying a nice weekend together.

    Just had brekkie here, one British, one Arabic. Both fantastic, more than we could eat at a price that was shocking, given London prices. Both really tasty.
