Our Story

Founded by two friendsโ€”both named Benโ€”one Persian, the other Greek, Babaโ€™s Mezze is rooted in a passion for food, wine, and the rich culinary traditions of the Middle East and Mediterranean.

For us, food is more than a mealโ€”itโ€™s a ritual, a way of bringing people together. Inspired by childhood memories around the dinner table, we serve authentic Persian mezze, charcoal-grilled kebabs, and aromatic rice dishes, all made with fresh, locally sourced Halal ingredients.

Welcome to Babaโ€™sโ€”where every meal feels like home.

Mehdi Parastesh, a renowned Iranian chef from Tehran, brings 15 years of experience in Persian Cuisine to Babaโ€™s Mezze. Since moving to the UK, he has been dedicated to sharing the essence of authentic Persian home cooking, crafted with tradition and passion.
