4.6 / 5.0(1,839 reviews)
Amazing!!! One of the best restaurants in London and, yet again, our new favorite. Incredibly creative, tasty North African specialties. Highly recommend it. We went through all the appetizers, some mains and one of the deserts. Every one of them unique and delicious. Lovely and kind service too. And having the seats in this tiny restaurant positioned around open cooking space adds to the enjoyment. Thank you! Best kunafah I’ve ever had! We had a great dinner, the chicken was super tender, the labneh perfectly balanced with the spicy eggplant, and the halloumi with spicy sauce was just perfect. The staff were also very nice! Definitely a place to come back to. They could maybe improve the interior design a little, but the food absolutely makes up for it :) A London must!!! My husband and I’s first time in London, best meal we’ve had here. The energy & team were so amazing. The food was what we called, “transcendent & elite!” As a chef myself I was blown away! Everything was truly magnificent. Thank you for having us. Thanks chef ! Oh yeah & heaven : the baklava ice cream sandwich will live rent free in my mind, body & soul until I return.

The food here is amazing. It is something that I really recommend. Both the fish and the meat is great here, and the dips and the bread went so well with everything they had to offer. The staff here were really nice and provided excellent service when we were there. Great explanation of the menu and the whole "what goes well with this menu" overview. Unfortunately the venue was quite crammed. The open fire is great until it starts cooking you, and the music was quite loud for easy conversation. Nevertheless, this was a great restaurant for a dinner date.

One of the most interesting experiences of dinner I’ve ever had, you are served in the kitchen counter, can see them preparing everything, very organized and cool. The food is fantastic, delicious, tasty and the herbs and spices are very well prepared. I loved.
