Halal Reviews for Acacus Marylebone

The first time I tried Libyan food, the staff was friendly and the atmosphere was decent. However, the food was not fresh and tasted preheated. I don’t think I will visit this restaurant again. But if you’ve never tried Libyan food before, it might be worth giving it a chance.

A good lunchtime meal with excellent, professional service. I wasn’t overly adventurous with my choices but the dishes were pleasant. Particularly liked the gratuitous starter. The fresh orange juice was tasty. Lunch in total came to £24 which was very reasonable. Was quiet when I was there but the music was ambient which made for an atmosphere. Was very clean but had a whiff of shisha smell to the establishment as you might expect.

Going to this restaurant reminded me of my childhood. Ordered couscous Libyan (wedding style) with Coke. The lamb gravy was so flavourful that it made the cous cous even more tasty. The chick pea and vegetables in the lamb gravy blended in so well with the lamb which was cooked perfectly making it easy to eat from the bone. Ahmed (if I remember right) suggested this dish and made sure that the dish is accompanied with the crushed chilli to enhance the taste. The overall ambience was good, the dish was perfect and service was well appreciated. Highly recommend

I was looking forward to coming to this restaurant for so long and when I got here I was not disappointed. Food tasted great!, perhaps some dishes were different to they would taste back home but still absolutely worth it and I would highly recommend visiting the restaurant and trying some authentic and delicious Libyan food. We tried Sharba, which is a libyan classic, we also tried the Ossban which was delicious just wish it was a little more spicy. Then we tried Embakbka which is a must. Lastly we tried Cous Cous wedding style which was the cherry on top. Finally we concluded our visit with some Libyan tea to help digest it all this deliciousness

Authentic Flavors and Perfectly Grilled Dishes! From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed with warmth and the comforting aroma of home-cooked food. The grilled dishes are the stars here—juicy, smoky, and cooked to perfection. Whether it's lamb chops, grilled chicken, or kofta, each bite is full of flavor and clearly made with care. The homemade dishes are equally impressive. You can tell they're made from scratch, just like a traditional family meal. The Reshda, Embakbaka, and couscous are beautifully spiced and full of depth. Even the sides—like rice, fresh salad, and warm flatbreads—are done right. The portions are generous, the presentation is lovely, and everything tastes authentic. If you appreciate real food made with heart, this place delivers. Highly recommend for anyone who loves grill cuisine and homemade comfort dishes.
