The Infatuation

On March 20th, people all over the world will be celebrating Nowruz, the Persian New Year. During this celebration of spring, rebirth, and renewal, these London restaurants are here to help you celebrate. We’ve included some Nowruz specials, supermarkets where you can get sweets, spices, and more, as well as some of our favourite Persian restaurants you can support right now.

The Compton Arms is a little boozer-cum-gastropub off of Upper Street that used to be frequented by miserable Arsenal fans and is now frequented by miserable Arsenal fans plus those seeking very good food from Four Legs in the kitchen. Just like its south London siblings the Anchor & Hope and the Canton Arms, The Clarence Tavern is an excellent gastropub. The Bull & Last is easily the best gastropub around the Heath (though if you’re just looking for a pint and a pork bap, The Southampton Arms is down the road) and its menu of gastropub favourites is hard to resist. So whether you’re enjoying a rabbit and smoked ham lasagne - the food here is a touch European and a touch British - or a plate of peach and stracciatella combined with a pint, you’ll be fed, watered, and under cover.
