It was well after the lunch rush, and before folks started showing up for dinner, so I had the restaurant to myself. I looked over the menu, and decided that I wanted their hommos schwarma starter. After I had ordered it, I changed my mind, and felt I really wanted the spicier version of their hommos instead, the hommos Beiruty. They ended up giving me both, charging me for one, and provided loads of pita. I was looking for a snack, but this was turning into a meal! Anyway, I mentioned that I really enjoyed ayrans, a salted yogurt drink common to the Mideast, and asked if they could make one (it wasn't on the menu). The cook said he most certainly could, and had his own special recipe. Wow. They were not only providing a fairly cheap meal, but also a special drink not even on the menu! Anyway, both plates of hommos were tasty, especially the hommos Beiruty. The ayran, however, was in a class all to itself: it was singularly the best ayran I'd ever had in my life! I finished it, and they came by and filled up another glass (free of charge, no less). I walked out for 16 pounds, and had a bunch of leftovers! I regret with my activities this week that I could not stop by again. But I told folks I knew here all about it. Well worth a visit if you're in Guildford, even for the day.

For me its the best location and very convinient as its on the same Road as my Computer Repairs shop. The restaurant is well designed with good seating, lighting and ambience is very comfortable. The staff including chefs and manager are all very hospitable and friendly. I particularly like the Chicken Shawarama sandwich with chips and salad which is always fresh, tender and delicious. The lunchtime menu (happy hour) offer is extremely good value. My favourite (so far) is chicken and lamb Shawarama with chips or rice together with salad and fresh humus on a large plate for £6.50 .. absolutely delicious! I have visited and encouraged family and friends and so far they all love it ... 5 Star all the way! Best wishes to all. Javed MIRAJ Computers, 123 London Street , Reading.

However, after giving her my order details she mysteriously disappeared off with some wine glasses to tend to some other table guests. Assuming, that in between my talking to her and her picking up the glasses, she had someone forgotten that there was a customer waiting for their order, I resorted to asking another waiter to bring my food, that didn't quite work either and it wasn't until the third waiter that I was brought my food, well, if dropping the box in your hand and walking immediately off without even so much as a thank you or goodbye counts? As for the food, it smelt delightful, however, I couldn't help but wonder if the chef had accidentally dropped the bottle of vinegar without the lid into our salad. As for the fresh bread, someone had forgotten to take it out of it's supermarket wrapper! The chicken wraps looked quite damp and unappetising and despite smelling wonderful, the food tasted only mediocre. Overall, the food is slightly below par but I found the service woefully short and couldn't help wonder that even a few lessons in courtesy from a high street kebab fast food outlet would be beneficial.

Interesting presentation as it came with a whole green bell pepper, a whole tomato, radishes, and cut up carrots and pickled something or other. The falafels were good but not solid. The chicken kabob was moist on the inside, dry on the outside. Stand outs for the meal were the feta cheese and spinach spanikopita-like appetizers and baklava-like dessert. It is pricey at £50 which translates to $80. Yikes...
