This place is absolutely exceptional. The food is unbeatable and the service is top-notch. Love the roast chicken plate, the aubergine, the falafel/tahini, and especially the cauliflower (probably the best I’ve had).

Was ordering from here almost weekly during the pandemic and the dine-in experience is excellent, with great service and a nice vibe. I was able to get a table without reservation on Wednesday night (20 min wait), but would encourage a reservation.

10/10!!

Very good good at reasonable prices.

We went with the set menu which was under £20 per person. They have a great number of options and the lamb is halal.

The dips for the starters were served with a fresh and warm bread which were all really good.

For mains I got the lamb kofte which was cooked really well and also really well spiced.

Would highly recommend for a nice lunch

The food is home made and the quantity of the dishes is enough to keep you more than full.

I litterally tried all the menu and I do really recommend to go!
Great prices as well.

Also great environment and music! It seems to be really in an other reality

Amazing experience
You have to go!

It is a good place with really good food, tasty, delicious. The atmosphere is Eastern and it is really like a market place with street food. Amazing.
While from the other side this place is a bit overpriced, or expensive. You can stay in a way you feel it is correct :)

The food here is delicious, there's no doubt -- and that's why they don't get 1 star. The team in the front taking our order was also super nice. But, we did a take out and you can see the sizes of the dishes that we got in the attached picture. It's disappointing to spend north of 40 GBP and to get food that leaves you feeling hungry. Apologies.

Food was absolutely outstanding, every item was amazing. The lamb was next level. Great buzzy atmosphere but the service was a bit lacking, had to ask for drinks twice and didn't bring a dish when asked for. Overall though would still go again!

Awesome place in London! Food was incredible and service was too. I will visit it again when I go back to London. Loved the lamb!

Popped inside randomly on a Sunday afternoon for a quick lunch. I grew up on middle eastern food so my expectations were fairly high but this restaurant blew me away.
The laffa bread was particularly delicious.

Name of the restaurant is a bit decieving as there is a lot more on offer than shawarma- but the shawarma dish did not disappoint and neither did the Kofta. Already looking forward to going back, even bought a signed copy of their recipe book. 10/10
