Dawon in Merton

At first the decor looked nice and the reviews looked promising until we realised me and my wife were the only two in the restaurant which seemed weird considering it was a Monday evening but we continued to order our food suspecting nothing, until we heard beeping noises from the microwave which insisted they warmed our food considering they only had to cater to TWO people in the restaurant yet we still didn’t receive fresh food, the customer service wasn’t good either as there was an attitude lingering in the air whilst being pressured to order our mains when we just ordered our starters.As we finished our food I kindly asked for a cup of water and the bill to be greeted with a cup full of stains and the taste of dirty dish water and oil, with orange stains all over the rim of the cup which physically made us feel sick I mean TWO PEOPLE in a WHOLE restaurant and you can’t wash a cup of water?! I mean WOW says it all when the restaurant is empty. So I asked the person who seemed as he was in charge as he ordered his staff and cut them off to explain the pricing to us, I told him about the stains he then ordered another staff to bring a different cup but at this point we just wanted to leave instantly. The worst experience for a restaurant EVER 0 stars if it was up to me!!

We live round the corner from the South Wimbledon restaurant. We’ve always enjoyed the food both eating in and takeaway but recently they’ve really upped their game. Our last order was DELICIOUS. The recipes taste better and look better. Really impressed.

Atmosphere was nice and friendly staff. Food portion sizes were good given whilst in comparison of price vs portion size it was decent.I would recommend.

Fantastic meal! Everyone was extremely friendly, the food was delicious, authentic and brilliant value for money. We will definitely be returning as regular customers

Worst experience ever I had in that place. Food looks nice on the plate but I had the chance to see how they prepare their food in the kichen in the day time . Zero hygiene. I have seen a guy touching his nose while he cuts some vegetables. Not recommended at all 😡😡

Ali's Lebanese restaurants in SW London provide the most authentic Lebanese cuisine. I would recommend to all friends and family.

Very disappointing experience. Firstly we were served a meat item on a vegetarian meal which after complaining was replaced by an undercooked item of food. We were offered baklava as an apology which contained broken plastic, this we were told was from the packaging (that makes it ok then!). All in all a complete waste of nearly £40 for substandard food and service from the kitchen. The waitress was doing her best and we cannot fault her service, this was not her fault. Needless to say we will not be going to AYA again after many years of dining at this restaurant.

I am very surprised to see some people still go there. May be they didn't see what I have seen in the Kichen . How they prepare the food and how they store it .This place should be checked am sure they will close it . I have seen one of the kichen staff using his dirty hands with no gloves steering our salads . 😣😣Some people says that they offer a discount for some people to give a positive reviews .

Just decided for an easy saturday dinner- Aya is very good. Had humus then mixed grill which was spicy and all ingredients freshly cooked ( I can tell reheated food at a glance ) staff were friendly and attentive in spite of being busy . Mostly 2 and 4 tables , so if you want to bring a party - is best to book . Lovely Middle Eastern decor without being over the top . If you want alcohol - staff are happy for you to bring in your own. No93 Bus goes right past door so no need for taxi .Highly recommended - Shukran

Very friendly staff. BEAUTIFUL PLACE. Very Tasty Food. 5 STAR⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👌👌
