Doost is a Persian Grill & Vodka Bar that opened in the site Amici outgrew on Kennington Road. A Persian Grill & Vodka Bar might seem like a strange combination, but apparently vodka bars were widespread in Iran before the Islamic Revolution, and the food is really nice if not cheap. Their website appears to have been inspired by Hooters but despite that, it’s neither tacky nor unrefined.
Ninja Tune Records, one of the UK’s leading independent record labels, is based on Kennington Lane.
Very exciting to see a high end coffee shop and deli opening up in the heart of Kennington. Welcome Sally White which is on Kennington Road at the junction with Windmill Row. They serve proper coffee, nice cakes, and they commission poetry about asparagus (bet Ottolenghi have never done that).
