"This Iranian spot in Covent Garden has an enticing Nowruz feast box for two on offer. Each box includes kuku sabzi, pan fried chalk stream river trout, saffron tahchin, and Iranian baghlava, with a choice to add things like bazaar bread, beetroot borani, and kofte tabrizi. Order soon to get it delivered anywhere in the UK before the 20th." - Rianne Shlebak
"Saudi-born owners Mohammad Paknejad and Marwa Alkhalaf bring their take on Iranian regional cooking. Currently offering a winter menu and a selection of feast boxes for two or four, which are to be finished off at home via Slerp for local and nationwide delivery. Expect crispy confit duck, bazaar bread, beetroot bohrani and lamb kofte." - Angela Hui
"Nutshell is a cute restaurant. It’s got gold detailing, pink seating, and the kind of tiling that takes up several megabytes of data in your photo folder after a summer holiday. The food is at its best in the mezze section: brik sambusach are crispy and light, the smoky aubergine dip is great alone and even better piled onto warm bread. Bigger plates are a little so-so, but the kofte tabrizi, a rice-stuffed meatball, isn’t. It’s great. All in all it’s a solid spot in central, especially if you aren’t looking for anything too heavy on your stomach or your bank balance." - Jake Missing
