Atmospheric Kurdish spot with pistachio hummus & flatbread
"Visibility level: Like the glow of a red light in Amsterdam The bric-a-brac Kurdish restaurant in Peckham is lit like a femme fatale. It’s got a gorgeous glow to it and when you’re sitting in one of the arches on a lazy summer evening, you’ll be happy to indiscriminately dip flatbread into whatever’s in front of you, knowing that you’re always going to be very satisfied with the result." - jake missing
"Although finding Hanar doesn’t exactly require a hand-drawn map, there’s still something pleasingly IYKYK-feeling about this casual Kurdish restaurant in a railway arch. With trinkets, foliage, and the general aura of incense, it’s a conservatory-like spot where groups kick back and devour pretty much every dip going. Nobody cares about the plastic school chairs when the warm flatbread and the pistachio hummus is this good." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager, riaz phillips
"Welcome to what we lovingly call the falafel bunker. Hanar’s aesthetic falls somewhere between Amsterdam boudoir and Dorset farmhouse—there’s red lighting, exposed beams, foliage, and a general aura of incense. It’s a pleasingly IYKYK-feeling Kurdish spot hidden in one of the arches by Peckham Rye, where groups kick back and devour herbaceous falafel and crunchy kubba, while couples share still-warm flatbread and the expert pistachio hummus. Our back pain brethren, take note—there’s also a high velvet cushion count." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"Not to be all David Attenborough but Hanar makes us think of those fluffed-up birds that bring their potential mates shiny little gifts. Stay with us here. Because Hanar is a casual Kurdish restaurant packed out with charming trinkets, stem vases full of daisies, and other things we will humbly accept as gifts from people we’re freely giving our Friday night to. Housed in one of the arches around Peckham Rye, this lanterns and pro-leafiness spot has an unpretentious feel that suits halving herbaceous falafels, bottles of the house wine, and sure, maybe a cab home." - heidi lauth beasley
"You’ll find Hanar in one of the arches around Peckham Rye and, although it doesn’t exactly require a hand-drawn map, there’s still something pleasingly IYKYK-feeling about this casual Kurdish restaurant. With trinkets, textures, foliage, and the general aura of incense, it’s a conversavatory-feeling spot where groups come to kick back and devour pretty much every dip going. Like Yada’s around the corner, it feels pleasingly unpretentious. Nobody cares about the plastic school chairs they’re sitting on when the warm flatbread and the pistachio hummus are this satisfying. Herbaceous falafels are halved, crunchy spinach kubba is attacked between two, and house wine is knocked back like there’s no tomorrow. It may look a little makeshift, but Hanar knows what it’s doing. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Pause Unmute Food Rundown Meat Mezze Platter Hanar's vegetarian options are very good, but this chicken shawarma-filled bowl adds a layer of juicy fat to the equation. There's still plenty of freshness and crunch involved, thanks to a cucumber and tomato salad and the occasional explosion of pomegranate. Prepare a bib and load a bit of everything onto flatbread. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch" - Jake Missing
