Aya Express Lebanese in Merton

The food is always so fresh and nicely cooked! Best Lebanese restaurant!

Service was very polite and helpful. I ordered at the table but I had to leave and they helped kindly to pack it up quickly to take away. I had lentil soup and mixed grill and they were good.

This place had a 5 star hygiene rating but from God knows where. The wooden table had a transparent plastic or glass top which was dirty underneath and on top! The salt or pepper shaker was also dirty.The food was mediocre and seemed to aim for quantity over quality. Overall very disappointing and yet it was listed as one of the top 5 Lebanese restaurants in Wimbledon? I won’t waste my time again and I’ll stick to Edgware Road from now on. It was dear too.

Hy guys, ordered here around a week ago, really bad experience. Discusting, burned chicken wings, terrible taste. Horrible staff behaviour, woman screaming at me on the phone while asking for my refund. Happy i got my money back, will never order from here again.

Ali's restaurants and cafes provide the best Lebanese food in the SW6-20 areas. The Aya Mixed Grill has enough food for two people.

The best Labenese food I had in ages. This was not our first choice. We initially went to Sofra Grill in Sutton but because we went there an hour before they close, 3 out of 4 dishes we chose to order were finished. Therefore we came out without eating. Our next choice was Gourmet Wimbledon and while walking to that I saw Aya and asked my husband to try this.The restaurant was empty as it was around 10.30pm but that suited us because we had 2 young kids. We order chicken liver, Hommous Shawarma, baby chicken grill for us. Chicken wings and lentil soup for the kids.The food was prepared fresh and they served us quick even though they were quite busy with takeaway and home delivery orders. The even gave us chips, bread and rice complementary.We were served by Ali and he was so pleasant and nice. We even asked him for more bread which again he gave us free and when he came to know that we came from far then he gave us a big bowl of free baklava and a lot of sauces for our left overs.I am glad we chose Aya and we absolutely loved it. I definitely recommend it and I am going to be their regular customer.

I've had an awful experience in this restaurant .I went there during the 'eat out to help out ' (Covid time)to help local business .We ordered a set meal for 2 person but we were shocked to see the portion .it wasn't even enough for one big individualThere was literally one adana kebab , 4 pieces of chicken cube , 4 pieces of lamb cubes and 3 teaspoons of lamb shawarma and 3 spoons of chicken shawarmaI had to call the manager to show how is it that the portion was enough for two.people to which he said I will get you some more which after waiting for a long time didn't come and when I asked again the staff said they ran out of lamb shawarma .They didn't have high chair for my baby daughter and the service was horrible yet they charged 10% service charge on the bill.In my experience , this would be the worst I have ever had .I'd advise others to read my review before making their decisionUpdateBelow my review you all can see that the owner/Manager has replied with a blatant lie saying that I ordered a meal for one person . I'm attaching my receipts for the food that ordered .Now can anyone find me single meal which normally costs £43.95?Please check their set meal section and the meal for 2 person is prices for £43.95I ordered a coke as well and a glass of tap water that dayHonestly there's no need to embarrass yourself more than this (to the manager )

Right next door to the original “kebab” shop and quality of the grub is same but a tad more pricey. For that you get more of a restaurant. If you’re going with the mrs go here or after a few beers go to the one round the corner, either way you’re won’t be disappointed.

The restaurant is located in an area where there is no other Arabic cuisine. The food was tasty but slightly pricey in my view. As I regularly eat in Arabic restaurants, this felt like it was more for none Arabs who wanted to try arabic food. I would not pay the same for the food that I ate. Also, I would suggest not bringing uncooked chicken from the back ad we are eating our food. I don't know whether I enjoyed the food, overall a 3 star rating.

The Sharma did not taste good. And there was very little rice on our plate. I found it to be overpriced too for the portion of food that you get. Each plate on that table cost 15 pounds.
