This is a gem of a restaurant that's close to the station. The ambience brings friendliness and service is great, making me feel like eating with people that I've known for a long time.
The food is a lot more than you'd expect for the price. Seasoning is on point and portions are enormous! I'd eat their "pizza" anytime, but shakshuka, falafel, and grill dishes are solid choices.
The knafeh is a must as a dessert as well.

Absolutely amazing taste. Good portion size. Affordable prices.
What more can one ask for?
Been there twice in a span of 2 weeks.
It is usually very crowded with a lot of chitter chatter around so if you're looking for something romantic, I wouldn't really recommend that. However, if you're hoping to get some good tasting fulfilling food with friends, go for it.
The large mix platter is amazing as it is served with 3 pita and very fulfilling for 2 persons.

Service was very quick, friendly. Food was delicious. Would have hoped for Palestinian music or songs...

Visiting this Palestinian restaurant twice was an absolute delight. The food quality is top-notch, and the flavors are incredibly tasty, delivering an authentic Palestinian culinary experience. The tabbouleh is impeccably dressed, and the rice is flawlessly cooked. Not to mention, the meat was incredibly tender, practically melting in the mouth. A true gem for anyone seeking authentic Palestinian cuisine.

It was a very cosy Palestinian eatery serving Middle East food. Everything was freshly made. You can see the chefs making bread/ flatbread and skewers on the spot. The taste was great, love their zatar flatbread, salad and Kubideh. The Knafeh and Turkish coffee were very nice too. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. I've been visiting a few times and will definitely come again.

We’ve just had the most amazing meal here. The potatoes, olives, mousaka, vine leaves, tabouleh… everything is so fresh and delicious, and prepared on the spot. Even saw the cooks knead the flatbread dough. Everything feels very authentic, and there are lots and lots of things on the menu, so we will surely be back. Definitely try it, and don’t forget to end the meal with baklava! Not very sweet and super flaky and flavourful. Wonderful place

Amazed to find a Palestinian restaurant in central London. Been here twice and although the food does taste great, there are a few issues which bring down the ratings. The range of food is not so different to other middle eastern cuisines. We got the moussaka, chicken pizza and mixed grill. The moussaka is not what I had imagined and overall tasted well. The pizza is very interesting and I loved it. The dough is very soft and very tasty with the added spice (I assume from the chicken). The mixed grill was okay but was expecting a bigger portion of food. The mixed grill cost £16 ish if I remember. You would expect a little more on the plate. The other issue is that waiters often forget things. For instance, on both visits, they had forgotten about the drinks. They also appear to only attend once being called. It's not a huge issue but I would advise the restaurant train waiters to check on each table if everything is well. Most restaurants will do this to ensure customers are happy.

In summary, a great small restaurant with a lot of potential but needs to fix a small few issues.
