O’ Gosht Acton

@ogosht is when you mix Middle Eastern flavours and American and I absolutely loved it. Based in Acton, West London they have a fully halal menu on proper comfort food which left me craving for more since. For starters we tried the sujuk with humous. The sujuk was slightly on the tough side though wasn't lacking in flavour and had the spice. Lamb humous was on point though and I'd say slightly better. Mains: Big O Burger: A surprisingly good smash burger. If you have high standards this won't disappoint. I was pretty impressed with this. Maca Cheeze with Burger Patty: An absolute banger! As a base they have their mac and cheese but when topped with the same double smash patty from the burger, this was wonderful. What made it even better was the Harissa on top. This was wholesome and absolutely delicious. It wouldn't be so if the mac n Cheese was average with a standard patty. What was beautiful was the texture of the creamy mac n Cheese with the smashed patty. Sloppy Steak: Sliced Ribeye on top of fries. Normally this could be a little dry but their cheese sauce isn't a joke. Once the Ribeye finished I found myself just enjoying the fries with the cheese sauce alone. Nevertheless the steak was pretty good quality - I'd like it a little closer to medium rare though but again another great dish. Wings: These did let me down in all honesty. While the Harrisa and bbq flavours were okay the wings themselves weren't battered plus found them to be a little dry inside so I didn't enjoy this as much as the others. I'd pass on the wings and get those starters to share. They also do a proper Pina Colada - and get this, only £4.95! Rarely do I see this drink properly done but here I was left wanting another one! I'd say the smash burger and Maca cheese with burger patty are a must try. Delicious and very hearty! Taste: 8.9, Quality: 8.5, Value: 9

Great service, reasonably priced and delicious food. Only negatives were the smash burger patty was on the dry side and the burger itself was not something I would probably order again. However, the wings, cubed potatoes, steak and Mac & cheese were really good.

A truly pleasant experience. The staff are very polite and welcoming, the manager was very friendly and patient with me considering I changed my order a few times. I ordered the Lil O burger with the loaded Maca. The burger was great and the loaded Maca was spectacular. Even though the restaurant was busy i got my food on time and well packed.
