I have visited here several times over the years and it truly gets better and better every time! Great food with generous portions and very well priced.. simple but effective menu so it's easy to order instead of looking at 100 dishes and the staff are fantastic especially Nafisa and her sister in law, very cheerful which sums up the whole experience! 😀

A hidden gem. As soon as you walk in you will be amazed at the decor, let's just say it's quirky. Karim is your chef and cooks the food in the centre of the restaurant, it's middle eastern and very tasty. Be sure to book in advance as it gets busy. I had a good night and so did everyone else judging by the laughter on the other tables. Treat yourself and check it out.

Outstanding Lebanese food in a tiny eclectic back-street restaurant. So good I almost want to keep it secret. Don’t go! (But be sure to book if you do).

Went here the other day with some friends. Was shady enough that they didn't have a website. There was only a drinks menu - no food menu. We were just served whatever they had to hand. As there was a large crowd of us, we were seated on 2 separate tables. The service was poor! They served one table more than the other meaning those of us on the other table missed out on some foods. When we mentioned this, they just told us to get up and help ourselves! At the end of the meal when it came to payment, they charged us £25 per head! Ridiculous price for what we actually received. They also wanted this in cash only meaning we had to actually go to a nearby cash machine. The following day I was suffering from food poisoning. Should I be surprised? No. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

The staff were overly pushy with trying to get us to spend more even though the place was half empty. Overall we felt we were in a very unfriendly environment and felt like a waste of money.

Lovely little Lebanese restaurant tucked away near the river. Decor is very full on (another pateron said it was a bit of an assault on the senses) but I found it charming. There's a small menu with one vegetarian option as a main but the food was very tasty. Staff were friendly without being overbearing. One thing to note was they only took cash as payment, not sure if this is permanent or just a recent thing.

A different restaurant, with characterWe came due to the amazing reviews.It's kitsch like and kind of bohemian decor and style. It's an explosion of colours as you get in. I can understand other customers like that. For me, it's far too busy, lots of old stuff and feels sofocating.When I said old, I mean old. Every single item there looks tired and wear out.There are rugs everywhere, including the toilet, this raised some questions marks about hygiene (they might be clean but look stained and again, very tired looking).It gives you the impression you have gone to an old friends place to eat, which is charming and you feel at ease.The staff are pleasant and courteous, although the cook (owner?) wasn't very friendly or welcoming, just dry. Overall, it was a really good service.About the food.Great and delicious mezze in the right portions with normal pitta bread.Main course is a generous portion of food, fresh fish and meat. overly spiced and too spicy. Another explosion, this time of flavours. Again, I understand some people might like it. For me, I expect in a Lebanese that they follow their cuisine.They give complementary baklava at the end, which was a beautiful touch.A big plus is the prices, which are on the cheap side for the area.Each to there own. I get the good reviews but I don't share that enthusiasm for a place that looks as if it will fall down any minute.I guess I would recommend it as a different experience and place but it didn't meet the expectations after reading the reviews.Show lessDate of visit: July 2021

Very cosy and quirky place for dinner, explosion of colours and salt&pepper china! Charming fireplace, friendly and very attentive staff. You see the chef cooking right there, in the restaurant. They do take your coats to another room, otherwise it will smell of food. Very tasty, traditional food. Need to go back and try the veggie meze.

Great dining experience. High quality food and service. The ambient is like home with a twist. Only down side, your clothes are going to smell after

Felt like going on holiday when I went in, completely in different world, the food was really yummy, atmosphere was great, affordable. May be need a bit of a do over for the front but at the end I didn’t care as I enjoyed sitting inside and check on every little decorating
