Berenjak
Dining out with a kid is not a piece of cake, as I have come to find out in the last few months, and every problem that could occur has occurred. Lack of baby changing facilities and nappy explosion? Check. Quiet, peaceful dining room and a baby who has just found their voice? Yup, thats my child. Small restaurant and large stroller? Sigh, I’m now the most hated diner. And this is why I’ll visit a restaurant once and not return for a very, very long time. Yup, I’m looking at you Berenjak.
Berenjak is the new Persian kebab kid on the block. “Persian?!” I hear you sigh “not again HGAT!”, but how could I not! It was a new establishment backed by the JKS group (think Gymkhana, Brigadiers, Hoppers, etc) and it was Persian, the perfect restaurant in my eyes. So I dragged BW there after work, with Aadam in tow, and snagged a table on the first day of opening. What I did not take into account was how small the restaurant was meaning I barged into several people with the stroller on the way in – woops.
Holding a squirming Aadam in one arm, I managed to order our food and hoped that it wouldn’t take too long before the inevitable meltdown.
The Food at Berenjak
Berenjak is a teeny, tiny place with just 35 covers; yup, it is small, so be prepared to queue up if you’re planning to make a visit after work. Alternatively, you could visit in the afternoon when they are less busy so any children-related calamities won’t be frowned upon as much!
