At Doost & Amici in London, I believe good cooking begins with respect, for ingredients, for technique, and most importantly, for the guest. My cooking is guided by simplicity and restraint, allowing carefully sourced produce to speak for itself. Dishes are seasonal, thoughtfully balanced, and designed to feel comforting, honest, and precise.
Consistency sits at the heart of everything we do. The aim is not to surprise, but to offer clarity and confidence on every plate. Hospitality is an extension of the kitchen, calm, attentive, and sincere, creating an environment where guests feel relaxed and genuinely cared for.
The menu at Doost & Amici evolves with the seasons and reflects a meeting of Persian generosity and Italian structure. As an Iranian restaurant with Italian influence, we focus on classical techniques, clean flavours, and portions designed to satisfy rather than impress. The emphasis is always on depth, careful cooking, and harmony between elements.
Brunch is an important part of our day. It is relaxed, generous, and unhurried, perfect for gathering with friends or taking a quiet moment to yourself. Alongside the food, we proudly serve Hermanos Colombian coffee, expertly extracted to bring out the full flavours of the Bonal bean, rich, balanced, and expressive from the first sip to the last.
Our space is designed to be enjoyed at any pace. Just moments from the Kia Oval cricket ground, guests can enjoy cocktails in the garden, dine al fresco when the weather allows, or settle inside for a longer meal. For those who wish to linger, we also offer a small selection of Cuban cigars, best enjoyed with a glass of brandy or Armagnac in the right moment.
Ingredients are chosen for quality, seasonality, and reliability, working closely with trusted suppliers who share our values. Rather than chasing novelty, the focus is on understanding ingredients deeply and treating them with care through thoughtful preparation and timing.
Whether you are joining us for brunch, dinner, cocktails, or a quiet evening in the garden, Doost & Amici is about good food, good company, and an atmosphere that feels easy, welcoming, and considered.
This Easter, gather family and friends and join us for a relaxed spring celebration at Doost & Amici. We will be serving our usual brunch until 12 noon, followed by our Easter Family Feast from 12.30pm, available by pre-order and created for sharing. For those looking for a lighter visit, a short seasonal a la carte menu will also be available. Whether you are joining us for a leisurely morning brunch or a long Easter lunch, we would be delighted to welcome you.
