Welcome to KONJ Café

A Modern Persian Table in the Heart of Edinburgh

Modern halal Persian cuisine, warm hospitality, and unforgettable flavours — right in the heart of Edinburgh.
Konj at The Tower, Portobello.

A Persian Supper Club by the Sea.

For one evening, Konj brings an intimate Persian supper club to The Tower Portobello, where
candlelight, conversation, and the rich flavours of Persian cuisine come together beside the sea.
Guests will be welcomed by The Tower owners, Tom and Zahra, into one of Scotland’s most
atmospheric and historic seaside venue before gathering around a shared table for an exclusive
eight-course secret menu created by Faranak, owner and patron chef of Konj Café Edinburgh.

Food & Drink at Konj café Edinburgh

Start your day with our beloved Sunday brunch — warm Persian eggs, freshly baked bread, and fragrant tea. Come for lunch and explore our slow-cooked stews and saffron rice, or settle in for a relaxed dinner of perfectly grilled halal kebabs and rich Persian mains. End every visit the right way with homemade Persian sweets and a beautifully brewed pot of tea. Whatever brings you to the table, we have something worth staying for.
