Lebanese and Palestinian cuisine prepared in an open kitchen in the centre of a modern restaurant

Hiba Express

I recently had the pleasure of taking my wife to dinner at this wonderful Palestinian restaurant. Needless to say, the setting is truly evocative, with an enveloping atmosphere that immediately immerses you in the culture, the Palestinian cause and the resistance that those people live. The food was delicious and tasty, intense and traditional flavors, without a doubt the best falafel I have tasted in my life! We really appreciated the choice of alternative products to the mainstream ones, and I especially loved the table where they casually made me sit, which visually represented the resistance of the Palestinian people.
It was a wonderful experience that we hope to relive as soon as possible. We truly recommend!

I have walked past here many times and finally went in today.  Glad I did!  Food was really good.  I had the platter for one person and a bottle of still water.  The platter comes with Lebanese bread.  Lovely presentation.  A very nice meal.  I really enjoyed it.  Perfect for a hot June evening.  Nice atmosphere.  Staff are friendly.  Would recommend for sure.

Hiba Express offers delicious Middle Eastern dishes. I tried their lamb shawarma (soft and quite juicy) and Palestinian rice (spice-y). Their dishes are also complemented with pickled onion and green pepper, which I found very refreshing after eating the fatty lamb.

The atmosphere is spectacular, definitely a little Middle East in the heart of London.

Always the best service right through the door your welcomed very warmly and makes appreciated the culture and atmosphere.

I regularly go for the very tender and juicy mixed grill with 3 skewers and for an additional person I recommend the daily mixed plated for 1 for £17 you get 4 meze & 2 skewers. Unreal and amazing !

Dined with family and felt the Palestine vibe! I'm surprised to see so much passion and love in their culture and proudly serve the food. Well done lads and keep up the spirit during this difficult time.
I highly recommend going to the original Holborn location to experience the atmosphere and the captivating traditional cuisines!

Efes Restaurant

We visited for lunch on a Saturday, shortly after it opened at noon, so it was still quiet. As you walk in, there's a display case showcasing prepared foods and uncooked meat skewers - everything looked fresh and ready for the day.

Our order included stuffed vine leaves, chicken and lamb shish (served with rice, bread, dips, and a side of salad), and a lamb shish wrap, which came with chips. While the stuffed vine leaves were fairly average and I think the wrap could’ve been softer, the meats were cooked well. The chips deserve a special mention too; they're the classic, old-school kind and really hit the spot.

It's probably the best Turkish place I have been to in London. The ambiance and atmosphere of the place are good, with very good service.
The beauty of Turkish places are the million side dishes they bring for free along with the soft and succulent breads. This place surely does not disappoint on that front. Each and every dish we ordered on the menu was fantastic.  I think you just can't go wrong with any dish at this place.
Recommended dishes:
Turkish pizza
Lamb beyti
Cold mezze platter

The food is very tasty and the staff is very kind and funny🥰, i’ve been there with my friends and we felt so welcomed❤️
I recommend this restaurant to everyone that likes turkish cuisine and wants to spend quality time with friends or family 🥰🤗
Rony and Sibel are very friendly, they’re the best✨🥰

It was an amazing dining experience at Efes today. It was my first time visiting the place, and I was impressed with the food and overall service. The menu consists mostly of traditional turkish plates, out of which I would recommend their ribs and lahmacun. Their starters were generous in size, bread was provided twice and the staff was quite attentive to our request. I would say this place is on the moderate-expensive side of the market, but the quality justifies it. The finished plates below are an example of a good food. Recommended 🙂

We came for lunch and were a little disappointed when no lunch menu was found. For lunch the restaurant menu looked a little expensive, but then came this most delicious Turkish dish! What a surprise. The salad that came without my ordering was also an absolute delight! Will come again, and with friends.

Afrikana Wembley

Came to dine on day 2 of opening and fantastic flavourful food.

The music was too loud , my mother was wearing her hearing aid and my two toddler kept complaining about how loud the music was, expected better food wise. We ordered “we meet gain”, kept asking to bring us sauces. Everything tested the same. Will I go back again not really.

The premises was very nice and Inviting, with lots of smiles. The decor, and food was very nice I ordered salmon fish however, the portion of chips could have been larger, some salad on the side would have complimented the dish more in my opinion. I like the plate which was ceramic and the use of metal cups assisting the environment, positive to see. Tina was inviting and very helpful and others like Nav and manager who personally came to greet which was really nice to see. Seems like a positive team. There was some other guys there  that looked like thugs, which I was told were the owners, who didn't need to be there and micromanage in my opinion. Other than that it was nice, and dish was served swiftly. Will revisit keep smiling

Amazing restaurant with yummy food especially the chopsticks, the chicken kebab and the wings. What I love about it is how wide and colourful it is. The staff are very friendly paying extra attention to your needs. I went there with the family and will be going again as my new favourite hub in Wembley.

Halal Asian cuisine. Formerly Bonda Kitchen

Bonda by Duck & Noodle

Entrance is down a set of stairs, if you didn't know it was there, you would easily miss the restaurant.

Very clean but comfortable. Lovely hand painted murals on the walls.

Creative, beautiful and above all tasty dishes. We went here looking for halal dimsum and we were not let down.  The food was brilliant. As they had a seafood dimsum platter, it would have been nice to have a carnivore dimsum platter.

I would have tried more food but we were possibly a bit full from our earlier meal.

Was looking for a halal restaurant that was something other than Indian or Turkish and stumbled across this on Google. Absolutely 10/10. All the dishes were extremely tasty, freshly cooked and the service was fast. Slightly more varied menu than some Malaysian places - with dumplings and bao buns on offer. Highly recommended and I will definitely visit again.

I came here for lunch as a family of four. We decided to order Duck bao buns, Veggie Laksa, Nasi Lemak, and Fruit Sago.

Duck bao buns was delicious overall. The bun was soft and light while the duck is a bit chewy but it’s fine. All veggies complementing the bun were refreshing and the sauce was nice. I would recommend you to try it if you happen to visit this place.

Veggie Laksa was very good. The broth was vibrant and thick with a refreshing sour flavor in it.   I did a bit hack by dipping the bun into the broth as it was taste amazing. Another stuff I did was putting some Laksa spicy sauce with the duck bun and it was tasty.

Nasi Lemak could be bettee. The rice is not that flavorful but you can taste the coconut in there. Need to eat the rice with chicken, salted anchovies all at once to get a nice flavor of the dish. The sambal was quite a lot though.

We closed our meals with fruit sago in which there were jackfruits, mango and basil seeds. The dish was served with evaporated milk. The surprising part of this dessert is that it was served warm. I would recommend to share with friends if you order this.

I had not been here for a couple of years.  Easy to miss as you have to navigate to a basement to access. They have spruced up the interior and given it a fresher look. Service was quick. I ordered a prawn CKT noodle meal. Good quality prawns. However despite the basement location and basic interior… this is NOT a cheap eat. Spent just under £15 for 1 dish with no drinks.

Dim sum was underwhelming and expensive. Not soft or moist enough for me. The chicken in the Nasi Lemak  was cooked well. Crispy skin and moist on the inside. However, the sauce needed more flavour for me. The owner was very friendly and service was fast. All in all an average meal at best for us.

Oorja Indian Dining

I dined here last week Thursday and honestly, it was an absolutely spectacular meal. Thank you to Ashish who looked after us all evening - The service,  food, presentation of food, atmosphere… everything was brilliant 👏🏼 Hats off to the team

Food was decent, modern Indian with variety of choices and well executed. The atmosphere was chic/spacious but service/operation was all over the place….Ive been told they’ve only been open for a week … so Hopefully it will get better 😋

We went to Oorja Indian restaurant 2 weeks after it was opened. It was by far the best indian food we had in 3 years after coming to the UK. We ordered Butter Chicken, Garlic naan, Mango Lassi, Chili chicken, and Aloo tikki.
The service and the ambiance were very, very nice, and the location of the restaurant is just cherry on the top. Would highly recommend this place.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Oorja this evening. From the moment I stepped inside, I was struck by the contemporary yet inviting design, which seamlessly blends modern aesthetics with traditional Indian artifacts. For a restaurant that has only been open for three weeks, the staff operated like a well-oiled machine—warm, professional, and incredibly attentive.

Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted and escorted to a charming corner table on the street-level floor. Later, on my way to the restroom, I discovered a lower level, but I was glad to have been seated upstairs, as it offered a wonderful ambiance.

The meal itself was a journey of bold and exciting flavors. I started with the agriki aloo tikki chaat, a potato-based dish bursting with vibrant spices and textures. As a delightful surprise, the waiter brought out a box of assorted poppadoms in various shapes and textures, accompanied by three distinct dipping sauces—an imaginative and delicious touch.

For my main course, I opted for the chicken tikka chops with mint chutney and onion salad. The flavors were already excellent, but I couldn’t resist experimenting with some of the poppadom sauces, which elevated the dish even further.

To round off the meal, I chose a trio of kulfi scoops for dessert, paired with an espresso. Just when I thought the experience was complete, the waiter presented a palate cleanser—an aromatic mix of fennel seeds with sweet and salty elements that left a refreshing finish.

Oorja, which fittingly means energy, strength, and power, truly lives up to its name. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a meal with such an incredible depth of flavor. I can’t wait to return!

Booked a table for family of 7 pre-theatre. Had a great meal here, all the food was cooked to perfection and Devanchu (unsure of spelling) was an excellent member of staff, very friendly and helpful. Some of us ordered the pre-theatre express menu which was great value for money and tasted amazing. Service was a little slow but understandable as it had just opened and we could not complain when our food arrived!
