    Went here for a late night drink after dinner. We only had one drink each. Mine tasted decent. I'd…read morebe curious about coming back to try other options from the menu. The server (maybe a manager) was very welcoming and helpful. Worth a stop if you're just looking to stay out a little longer at night.

After a dinner, this place is a good meeting point for a group of friends. As it is so popular there are bouncers at the door, letting only as many people in as there are going out. To be fair, this place is tiny and if it gets too packed you get to step onto each other's feet. There is a more casual bar on the ground floor; going down the stairs you will find yourself on the dance floor. Not many places around South Ken are open late, however, this one got a license until 2am, which makes you get into the dance move. You will find yourself surrounded by locals and an international mix. I often bump into Greeks and Germans. As Eclipse has more of a lounge feeling to it, you will find yourself talking to people you would otherwise not have met. If you are early enough, the main highlight is the bongo player, which brings rhythm into the bar. I would not plan my night around Eclipse, however, this is a great alternative to consider if you happened not to be on a guest list somewhere else.

    This is the most beautiful looking Middle Eastern restaurant that I have ever been to. I love the…read morepillows, the drapes, the loungy couches, and the chairs too. The waitresses wore all black, which went with the interior design of the place. Outside of the building, you will see people blowing hookah smoke like wizards from The Lord of the Rings. In front of the woman's bathroom, there is a silhouette of a belly dancer with long flowing hair. In front of the men's room, there is a drawing of a man wearing a thobe, a ghutra, an egal, and he is holding one of those long curved canes from the biblical era. The chicken kafta was delicious and they gave me just the right amount of food. They put tasty green powdery stuff in my tomato slices. It was also my first time drinking moroccan tea, which I should say was really good after eating mint leaves. They told me not to tip them, which is something that I am not used to, because I am from the U.S., but it's common in England and Spain. The waiters are nice people. I accidentally knocked over an empty beer bottle with my umbrella, and nobody got upset. A waiter just offered to take my giant UK flag umbrella, and save it up front for me to pick it up later. I was really anxious, I apologized twice, and then my waitress said, it's okay, with a smile, and then another waitress cleaned it up. Thank you Mamounia for being a great part of my vacation!

    Great lounge/restaurant. My first time here was with a girlfriend who was visiting London that…read moreweekend and we discovered it through opentable. Since I enjoyed the tea there so much the first time, I thought I would trythe food the 2nd time around especially since I was in the area (near Harrods). We were greeted by the manager, a tall slim man with an ear piece that was very pleasant, smiling and polite. My companion and I were first placed to sit beside another couple in a very uncomfortably close "in my personal space" arrangement. After heading to the toilet (which was very nicely decorated, with big mirrors, bright red walls and most importantly clean!) I realised how nice the BACK of the restaurant "hallway" was. Each personal dining section of this "hallway" was sectioned off by fabric strings and also had a throne-like chair attached to the wall. On the seat of the various "throne-like" chairs were different coloured fluffy pillows. At this point, I decided we had to change to sit in the back and made the arrangements with the manager who was happy to do so. At the "back" table (just slightly off from fully facing the kitchen window), I could take in the beautiful atmosphere. The entire restuarant is quite dimly lit. The lights on the ceiling have a patterned cover that is easy and relaxing on the eyes. Just sitting there made me feel like I was in a tent adorned with cultural pieces and luxury. Just give me a flying carpet and I think we have a scene in Disney's Alladin. Each table had a candlelight which made the atmosphere more romantic and mysterious. In terms of food: I wasn't very hungry so I decided on an appetizer platter to share and a soup. On the menu these were termed the "Lebanese Mezze Platter" which included the chef's daily selections of vegetarian appetizers. The platter had Mousakaa (aubergine baked with chickpea, tomato, and spices), hommus (ground chickpea puree with sesame oil and lemon juice)/ Moutabel (pureed and smoked aubergine with seasame oil and lemon juice), Labneh (lebanese fresh yoghurt), Foul Mkala (broad beans cooked with coriander, sliced garlic and olive oil), and lastly, Loubieh (confit of french beans, tomato, onion and garlic). The middle of the latter had chopped parsley and also this did come with 2 pieces of pita bread (I wish they gave more!) As for the soup, I had Harira soup (traditional Moroccan veg soup with saffron, lentils, pepper, vermicelli, coriander and chickpeas). This soul was presented nicely in a awkwardly shaped bowl. The taste was rich and there there was a lot going on in the soup. I could taste the pureed lentils and enjoyed the whole chickpeas that prevented me from just emptying my bowl in one gulp. Can't say I'm I'm to keen about the pieces of vermicelli in it but I suppose it was supposed to add texture. My companion ordered the lamb tagine (slow cooked lamb shoulder, served with prunes, apricots, and almonds). He described it as one of the best he's had. I did like how it came in the tagine and when the lifted up the cover all the aroma of the dish filled the air and the food was definitely hot (there were bubbles and steam!). I wish they had waited until my companion returned from the toilet though... (maybe something they could consider to try and keep the food warm or present the dish to the person actually eating the food). Although I'm not a fan of lamb, I did manage to steal a bite and the meat was very tender and flavorful. Lastly, of course I didn't leave without having the maroccan tea again. I love how it comes in this special metal tea pot. I like taking it with brown sugar but the tea is already sweetened if you prefer less of a sugary kick. You will get a minty kick though so don't try to avoid it just take it in, relax, and enjoy. Hope this helps! xoxo
