When it comes to Persian food, the heart of residential Kennington probably isn't the first area you think of. If it is, then it's likely because you know about its well kept secret; a little intimate restaurant called Doost.
Set in the most unassuming of locations, it quietly goes about serving up mammoth plates of delicious Middle Eastern delights which will set the tastebuds alight and the stomach satisfied.
Having never had Persian food before, I'm embarrassed to admit I played it safe with the order, leaving myself at the mercy of the kitchen with a starter platter for 2 and another platter for mains. In hindsight, my concern was misplaced as what was served was top notch.
The starter platter for 2 was a formidable feast including herb frittata, grilled King prawn, calamari and Turkish flat bread with taftoon. Generous is the best way to describe it followed by very good. But this just proved to be a tease for the main event; the meat platter for 2.
Now it says 2 but, like with the starter, it could've easily fed 3 such was its generosity. With a platter including lamb fillets, lamb koftas and chicken shish kebabs it is very much a carnivores dream and a true hunger buster. I consider myself to have quite the appetite but even I succumbed to the doggy bag request. But more importantly, meat was as good as it was generous with succulent cuts being cooked with a lot of skill.
If you're looking for a Persian experience, I would recommend a visit to Doost. Come hungry!

Our favourite place! Delicious food, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Highly recommend for intimate meals and large groups as they will make it a special occasion.
Delicious food and fantastic service. It’s always guaranteed to be a great evening when you dine here. They go the extra mile for all their guests. A wonderful restaurant. ❤️❤️
Wonderful food, great service and fantastic drinks.... We had the Mezze starter followed by the mixed meat kebabs and both were outstanding... Tried one of the vodkas which was a little tarte for me but the gin and the wine went down very well - and good wine pairing recommendations. Finished off with the baklava... So so good!
Great Persian tastes. Portions are small considering the price. The atmosphere and musics can be better to represent an authentic vibe matched with the food.
Liked it overall
Both management and staff professional with a good personality. Food was visually nice and very very tasty. Toliets v clean with excellent hand towel soaps etc. All in all the place is inviting, romanticish and can also be good to eat alone were u lucky enough to get a table.
