Excellent food. The restaurant is small, with two tables that seat 4, two tables that seat 2 and…read moreone table that seats 6. Food was fantastic. Seems like a few family that run the place, not big and not a lot of staff but they were attentive and helpful. Flavor was great, food came out quickly after ordering but was made fresh. Portions were very generous and the pricing was very reasonable. Tried this place during an extended stay in London and will definitely eat here several more times before I leave.

I am from the United States. My wife and I spent the last couple weeks traveling through Europe,…read moreand trying many local dishes that we wouldn't be able to find at home. On the last day of our trip we walked into this restaurant. We chose it due to it's close location to our hotel, and it was a choice based on convenience as opposed to interest. I was quickly surprised. After a full day of tours and sightseeing we were tired and hungry. Upon entering the restaurant the staff greeted us with a friendly and inviting demeanor that immediately helped improve my mood. Although, it's not much to look at from the outside, the inside is clean, and well decorated with modest middle eastern decor. The quality of the meal was nothing short of amazing. The appetizer they served me had the tastiest hummus I've ever had. I ordered a shrimp plate that caught my attention and I can honestly say this was the single best shrimp recipe I've ever had in my life. I would have gladly payed the chef hundreds of dollars for the recipe just so I could recreate it at home. My wife enjoyed her meal just as much as I did. We quickly agreed that this had been the single best meal of the entire trip. Now if I can just talk the owner into selling me that recipe

Three issues though: - the octopus was overcooked and quite chewy. Flavor was great though - my wife found a hair in the dessert. Really big flag - dinner for two was 160+ pounds.

Pricing was a bit high for the portion, but everything was delicious. DRINKS Zest and Zing was a refreshing and lightly sweetened mocktail. APPS Potato fritters and sweet potato were creamy and sweet with hummus. The mushroom was spicy and juicy. Goat cheese salad was fresh and paired perfectly together. The pita balagan was crispy with a dollop of bruschetta. ENTREE - Shawarma: bite sized seasoned beef loaded with veggies and hummus (£24) - Chicken: flavorful, perfectly cooked! (£21) - Salmon: tender and delicious (£26) DESSERT - Kadayif (£10): a yogurty cheesecake with honey and crunchy kataifi - Crunchy Praline (£10): a creamy espresso whipped cream with a sweet chocolate bark - Date Cake (£9.50): moist and sweetened with syrup and a side of whipped cream FAVS Favorites were the chicken and shawarma! For desserts, the kadayif is good if you want something unique, if you want something not too sweet go for the date cake, and if you want a sugar rush go for the crunchy praline!

They brought us little dessert samples at the end too (not sure if this is normal practice but hey, worth noting right?!). Worth a visit if you're in the area

Affordable and tasty - a great place for a lunch break…read more It may look like a takeaway place but you can actually sit down and eat. As you walk in, you only see one communal table, but there is more tables upstairs. The menu is very straightforward. Four veggie options and four meat/ fish ones. You get a side of rice with your main. That's all. We had a aubergine dish, a daal and a fish stew. Aubergine was a bit bland, but everything else was good.
