"No matter if it’s your first or 27th visit to this little spot off Westbourne Grove, you’ll feel like you’ve been coming here forever. Cosy and inviting, Sinuhe has ‘intimate third date’ and ‘book the whole place for a low-key engagement party’ written all over it. Whichever comes first. However you choose to use it, there are a few things you should know. They’ve got the best mirza qasemi in London. Our go-to order consists of both aubergine dips, the mast-o-khair, and a mixed grill to share. The servers are friendly, and when they gently nudge you to order two bread baskets instead of one, you should listen." - rianne shlebak
"‘Great’ doesn’t do justice to the mirza-qasemi at Sinuhe. It’s a smoky, rich, and flawless version of the classic Persian aubergine dip that you need on your table. This adorable little Persian spot off Westbourne Grove is serving some excellent dips, grilled classics, and homely stews. We’d go with both the aubergine dips, the mast-o-khair, and a mixed grill to share. The servers are friendly and helpful—another sign of a GLP—so when they gently tell you to order two bread baskets instead of one, you should listen." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"Excellent dips, tender, buttery grilled meats, and an intimate dining room that’s the ultimate wingman. Come to Sinuhe when you’re both over another night on the sofa and want to amp up the romance a little. This charming little Persian spot on Hereford Road has a standout mirza-qasemi that we’re pretty sure has the power to distract you from any conversation about who did or didn’t turn the dishwasher on." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
"Sinuhe is a charming little Notting Hill spot that puts equal thought into making itself a place where people can fall in love, as it does its creamy refreshing mast-o-khiar. There’s a flickering candle on each table, rustic wooden interiors, and a playlist that blends into the quiet hum of conversation. All of the Persian dishes are great, but the mirza qasemi—thick, smoky, with strings of tender aubergine—might outshine you on this date, but you won’t mind.
