Born in Sanandaj, Iran, Faranak opened KONJ Café in December 2019 with the aim of sharing dishes inspired by family cooking and Persian culinary heritage, prepared with care and consistency in a professional kitchen environment. Today, KONJ serves 100% halal modern Persian cuisine using fresh ingredients and time-honoured recipes passed down through generations.
As the business developed, maintaining quality and consistency during busy services while managing labour intensive dishes became increasingly important. By introducing Rational cooking systems into the kitchen, KONJ has been able to improve productivity and workflow while preserving traditional flavours. As Faranak explains, this shift has made a clear difference to day-to-day operations, adding that “this has helped me a lot in the operation.“
