I came here for the Palestinian support ofc, but it turns out that's not the only perk of the place. The staff is all Palestinian, and so the owner and the food. I had a Kafta Meshwi, which came with 3 lamb skewers, for just £17. I think it's great value for money. And the quality was really good. It's not the typical London restaurant, bringing you food after 2 minutes. Here you have to wait, as they prepare everything from scratch, even the drinks or the sauces. Talking about drinks, I had a nice Jellab, which reminded me a bit of a rose lemonade. Definitely a great place to go if you're in Holborn and hungry. You'll make your stomach feel good, and so your heart.

Ordered catering for a work event - so generously portioned and good value for money. Beautifully presented and very friendly staff. Catered to all dietary preferences and Sayeda was flexible to my requests and last min changes. Would highly recommend!

TLDR - came at 5, ordered food at 5:45/6 food came at 7 with many missing items, missing drinks, warm/cold food. Cancelled a few items as everyone was overwhelmed. Overcharged us with a few drinks but also over made a wrap 3 times so just gave to us. Don’t go as a big group and on a Saturday.

Wanted to go here to support a Palestine restaurant so went as a group on 9 on a Saturday. We understand that it is busy and a group of 9 is pretty big so we were very understanding but I’m sorry we had a terrible experience.

We came around 5 (we booked in for 5) and got sat downstairs as we were a bigger group and it was almost like they forgot about us. We sat for almost an hour until we were able to order anything. No one came to check on us and we had to keep going upstairs to get their attention.

Finally near to 6 we got to order. Ordered the food and drinks. I had 2 friends that came later on and ordered upstairs, their food platter came before everyone else did. It took an hour to finally get everyone’s food but still there were missing items and missing drinks. Most of the food was warm/cold by the time it got to us. Some food we even ended up cancelling because we were already there for almost 3 hours we were just getting overstimulated. We were all so hungry so we just ate, we were also told someone would come down with the bill but no one did.

They did end up giving us randomly 2 chicken wraps because I think there was no communication between anyone. (They didn’t charge us for this).

We then just decided after 20 mins to go upstairs to pay. They tried to charge us for extra drinks we didn’t order as two of us ordered the platter for 2 and it came with drinks but they added it as a separate item.

I also don’t want to make it about anything but the service but there was a small family of 5 who got sat down and left within an hour and a half while we were still waiting for our food. There was also a bigger group of people who got sat down and within 10 minutes got theirs order taken and within 20/30 minute majority of their food came out. There was a clear distinction between them and us with languages…. Take that as you will.

I’m sorry but I really wanted to enjoy my experience here but it just ended up being an overstimulating, cold and stressful evening. It was meant to be for my birthday but I’m just extremely upset. Like I mentioned we all tried to be understanding, the food would have been good if it was hot or warm but it was warm closer to cold. They meat was kind of dry, the chips and rice was unseasoned. Hummus was amazing, salad was great and fresh but overall experience 2/5 sorry.

I came here for dinner, I had excellent Palestinian/Lebanese food, good and cheap! A special mention for the dessert, the knafeh! Delicious, I could have eaten 10 more! The staff is super welcoming and ready to exchange a few cheerful and welcoming words! Highly recommended!

Amazing food! Portions are generous and everything tastes so delicious! I had a mix plate of cold and hot mezze…. The lamb was incredible! The service is friendly and polite! Very nice and calm atmosphere!

Akub Restaurant

An extraordinary experience - the food and the atmosphere were incredible.

I came with my fiancée to celebrate her birthday and everything was exceptional. We ordered the Akub pickles, Grilled Nabulsi Cheese, Sandweeshat Akub, Qalayet Bandora, Arabic Coffee French Toast and then were given a complimentary birthday dessert - not sure what it was called but it was spongey, covered in pistachios and drowning in a cardamom and fenugreek soak.

An incredible culinary experience - we will be back. 🇵🇸

Two for two with my restaurant guide book and I may have been converted to a brunch person. Got very lucky with a walk-in table, also, apologies, next time I go I will take better pictures of the interior. It is warm and elegant, with smart simplicity. Clean colors, beautiful pottery, dishes engraved with tiny flowers.

There wasn’t a thing on the menu that didn’t sound good but eventually we settled on a  spread of smaller savory plates to share. I’m picky about pickles and all about details and these I would absolutely call an essential order. And the focaccia. My god the focaccia. We also got the Arabic bread which, don’t, it was tough and dry and didn’t bring much to the table- so definitely skip that for this because THIS. Was one of the best breads of my life. and I love bread, so I’ve had a lot of it. It was plush and soft and spiced to perfection, great by itself but an excellent companion for the other things we got: zaatar labaneh (on the thicker side, might get hummus next time), the maftool and batikh salads (100000/10 no notes perfection. Watermelon and mint, I don’t know if we’ve managed to top that) and the grilled nabulsi cheese- I don’t know exactly what the black spice rub on top was but we mopped it off that plate. That with the bread and the watermelon, a perfect meal, I’d be damn happy to have it everyday. So brunch is a must, but I’m very excited to come back for dinner. They have a cheesecake that’s gonna be sorry it met me.

Tasty food, a helpful waiter and a lovely red to wash it down with. Highly recommend the baked cheese, prawns, coriander dip and the lamb neck. Prices were a bit steep, but overall a good experience. The benches could also use a few cushions for vertically challenged folks. :)

Wow. Just wow. I can’t recommend Akub highly enough! Everything on the menu looked delicious.

Thanks to suggestions from the very helpful staff, we chose the sea bass (finely sliced, cured in arak and beautifully spiced with sumac) and a selection of vegetable dishes. All were expertly prepared and presented. To finish, even though we were full, we had to try a dessert. Again, flawless! A cross between a chocolate mousse and ganache, with crushed biscuit and ice cream on the side.

This is a true local gem, tucked away on a little Notting Hill side street.

Lovely little spot with a wonderful selection of food. We opted for brunch (it’s sharing style here) I’d recommend getting one main dish (we all got an egg variant) and then a few things like the hummus and bread. The focaccia is delightful and the rest of the food is flavourful too. Would highly recommend a visit. Be mindful of booking in advance

Maramia Cafe

We had a lovely Monday dinner.
We started with a shared Moutabal, which was wonderfully fresh and flavourful, and as main courses Lamb Kebab and King Prawns. The food was outstanding; the meat was very juicy, and the prawns were excellent too.
The service was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring we had everything we needed. While the restaurant was quiet, being a Monday evening, it was a very relaxing atmosphere accompanied by lovely music. A highly recommended spot for fresh, authentic Middle Eastern cuisine.

I have never been more de-influenced in all my life!! What really upset me is that I was looking forward to eating here for months after seeing the dancing and atmosphere on Insta and tik tok.
From the start we walked the staff a guy and girl just did not care to serve us. Dirty plates had to get them changed missed cutlery had to request. I had to get up several times to request for somebody to provide something or take our order even get the menu. They did not care. My potato dish didn’t arrive despite me getting up asking for an update as the other food was there and I’ve nearly finished my dish. The guy said it’s coming in 1 min. I could tell he was blatantly lying. I made sure they did not charge me and then that prompted the manager to come to our table to apologise. I explained how terrible the service he just listened but no real response on the matter. Literally heartbroken as you really want to support a restaurant with a strong message. Food was great but service and the whole experience ruined it for me. PLEASE DO BETTER!! We want to support you but YOU do not know now how to treat your customers. Moral of the story don’t trust social media 🤣🤣. Very sad I had to leave this review.

Its been a while since I went but though to review this place as the food was great.
- the maftoul was fresh in my eyes: first time having pumpkin served with chicken! The flavours are subtle. Quite tasty, though lacking in salt for my taste!
- taybeh beer: if you like your beer, you’ll love this
- msakhan wrap: an interesting way to serve msakhan. This was quite tasty, with strong foavours. I didn’t mind the modern take on it, though purists would not.
- excellent lentil soup

Literally some of the best food I’ve ever had. I think about this meal weekly (I visited Feb 2024). Everything tastes amazing and fresh. Service can be slow but don’t let this deter you. Very reasonably priced as well.

Food here was really delicious, we had the Chicken Mussakhan, the Palestinian Moussaka, Gaza Salad, and Sujuk. Lovely bread too!
We also enjoyed the lemon and mint juice and beer.
Service was quick and the staff were friendly, even though it was quite busy.

Everything on our menu is Halal, however we also serve alcohol.
