We ordered 5 different starters (meze) and then each of us ordered their own main course. The starters were definitely my favourite; in fact - I would recommend future visitors to only order a variety of starters (hot, cold, salads, bakeries) and not even bother with the entrees. These are the starters you may want to go for: Hommos Beiruty, Moutabal Baba Ghanouj, Mouhamara (excellent!), Lahem B'agine & Fattoush Salad. Here's my thoughts on the main courses: one of my friends ordered the sea bass and she said that the cut was very "unfortunate" as she was digging through bones. Usually, she goes, when you cut a fish a certain way, you can actually take out the entire skeleton at once and then enjoy the meat. But maybe this is the Lebanese way of serving the fish? On the upside, when you order meat for a main course, you will be getting heaps of it - the portions are really generous. I, for example, ordered the Chicken Shish Taouk and it was nice. Nevertheless, I suggest you stick with the starters and maybe one chicken dish (which would feed at least two or three). Also, you will find a cover charge on your bill, which "covers" such things as bread and sides of vegetables. Speaking of which, you will find that they place a bowl of fresh vegetables on your table: lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, mini cucumbers, bell pepper & radishes. To be honest, we didn't quite know what to do with them and so we left them mostly untouched. When I slipped away to the bathroom later on, I saw how this salad bowl is supposed to be used: you chop up the veggies and prepare a salad. Doh! The Lebanese beer tastes nice - so I can recommend that as well.

My multi course dinner had all good quality food and was above average and very enjoyable, especially the fish. Certainly plenty to eat! The final fruit dish was also just right, but I was rather full by then! I'll have to revisit to get more familiar with authentic Lebanese food.

Absolutely Outstanding!…read more This has to be one of the best, if not the best, donair shawarma or gyro style wrap I've had anywhere in the world. The meat. So crispy and flavourful! I think I prefer the lamb over the chicken since it has a little more brown crispiness and a little more zing. But they are both very good. The fries are fantastic too. The commando fries are decadently delicious and not overly crazy. Just enough toppings and heat to elevate the already well cooked fries. If I was staying in London any longer we'd be back in a heartbeat. One of our favorite meals in London and it came from a simple joint in a shopping centre.

The Octopus appetizer was awesome, the bread that comes with every meal is perfect, the main courses are delicious and filling, and they have a nice selection of wine.

We visited this restaurant on Saturday night…read more A friend had been before and had a lovely time yet her experience last night and the other five of us , it was our first time, were far from nice and one word to describe terrible. We were served with food , of how can I say half a packet of salt on everything from the Kalamari which tasted like it was brought from a supermarket definitely not fresh rubbery taste to the meat being so over cooked and full of spices this certainly was the worst Greek food well if you can say Greek meze we have ever experienced and note we are all Greek Cypriots ! The only items of food that was nice was the pitta bread and some dips. Having a heavily pregnant lady with us didn't help either we weren't treated with any kind of warmth or hospitality , they were too busy serving and caring more about the other three tables and didn't bother much with us , yet we constantly said please ask the chef not so much salt. We were also served with one slice of watermelon which he said was a fruit platter! Where was the fruit one disgusting sour watermelon We had such a horrible experience that we just wanted to leave. We asked for the bill which was incorrect yet the owner wasn't having it and questioned us then he has the audacity to screw up the bill in our faces and throw it and tell us to leave and don't pay then. And then he had the cheek to say we don't go out to eat we don't know ! We most certainly do go out for dinners whether it be local in north london or in the city or Mayfair we were prepared to spend even £100 on a dinner, if it was worth it . We were disgusted by this attitude of the owner and said no we are going to pay please amend it we paid and he was very rude and ignorant. We will never step foot in this place again and certainly never recommend it. There are much better Greek restaurants in north London, this isn't more than a cafe style restaurant in a hotel Stay clear from here

I was enjoying a late night (drunken, let's be honest) meal with three, come four fantastic friends, devouring a £12 bottle of white wine, (someone get this girl a straw!) and shoving hummus and lamb shish kebabs in my face at dangerous speeds. 3D glasses were involved, as were some incriminating photos with some overly powdered Turkish delight. I think quotes like "That's what she said" and "your mom" may have slipped in among my infamous Scottish and Irish accents. (They're truly amazing, you should hear me say "Carrrrehmel" juxtaposed with "They're magically delicious!" This also launched a few references to Toucan Sam, which were equally enjoyed by the Irish, Scottish and American group. Nearing the end of our hummus, haloumi, cack and kebab, Evelyn received the ominous text "Michael Jackson Died..." to which, logically, we decided to confirm by asking the waitstaff who had been trying to usher us out for the past 20 minutes. The only things confirmed at the meal were that #1.Anatolia Ocakbasi was indeed magically delicious and cheap, and that #2. If MJ did die, we blame the boogie. Bottle of white wine £12 Order of hummus, haloumi, cack and lamb kebab: £19 Having an amazing answer (and shocking photo evidence) to the question: "Where were you when you found out Michael Jackson died?" Priceless.

It's a fairly small place (unless there was more seating upstairs) and so the acoustics can be quite loud. When we got there, there were 3 American college girls. They were loud as hell and extremely annoying. I felt a bit embarrassed since I'm from the states and here for some work. Once they left, things got a lot better. Our waitress started off a bit cold but soon warmed up and was great the remainder of our time there. As a starter, I ordered the Dolmeh which were vine leaves stuffed with rice and herbs. The rice was cooked well and the herbs were perfect. My main course was Kabab Koobideh. It was 2 minced lamb kababs with steamed rice and a grilled tomato. It was delicious but watch out for the after taste you'll have the remainder of the day. I thought this place was pretty great, but again, I've never had Persian. Therefore, I have nothing to compare this place to. I would recommend giving this place a try though.
