Bah Bah at King & Co, Clapham

Some of the best Persian food in London? The King & Co. rarely disappoint
Continuing its series of kitchen residencies since late 2014, which in January played host to the excellent Wild Serai, the recently-opened King & Co in Clapham opened its doors in early February to Bah Bah restaurant, specialising in Persian cooking and serving up hot and cold meze plates, fragrant Sabzi stews and an ever-changing daily specials menu.

Good Persian food in London is a rare thing, however, so it's likely at least to be building some hype. Rumours of a Ghanaian residency in April abound...
