Experience the warmth of a Persian home, told through food.
Persian dishes, made with care and meant to be enjoyed together.
At DENA'S Persian Fusion Restaurant, every dish tells part of a family journey from Iran to Den Haag. What began as Dena's home recipes has grown into a cozy kitchen where everyone feels like family. It's Persian heritage retold through fresh, organic ingredients, Dutch produce, warm hospitality, and the love of sharing food.

Yes. Kuku Sabzi (our herb frittata starter) is naturally vegetarian. Ask the team when booking or on arrival for current vegetarian-friendly dishes — the daily specials sometimes include plant-based options.
