Thank you, Mustafa, for the most delicious shawarma I’ve ever had in the UK! I truly regret not ordering more of the Lebanese shawarma—it was incredible. Your generosity and kindness made the experience even better. This definitely won’t be my last visit, InshaAllah I’ll be back soon. Many thanks again!
Great place for a quick bite. I ordered an Arabian Lamb Wrap for a takeaway. To my surprise when I opened the box there was shawarma wrap and chips. The lamb was tender and a lil bit chewy but I loved it. Chips were decent, crispy with a lil hint of Arabian spices on top. The owner is friendly. I can see people visiting this place just to hang out and have a good time. I would love to see more places like this one in my neighborhood, serving delicious fresh food with outstanding service.
5stars for mustafa, great customer service! And even better food!!! Loved the shawarma and the chips, humous! Everything was great would easily be paying 20 in central for this !!! Bargain!! Defiantly be back again! Beats all the other places in surrounding area
Authentic Lebanese food, great shwarma and amazing homemade sauces. Customer service was great.
Very nice place to have some Middle Eastern food around the corner. The owner is very humble and decent man. Prices are also good and portion sizes are not bad. Chicken and Lamb Shawarma is full of flavours and it’s a must try. Sitting area is not too big and its outside but it can be a good vibe in summers.
Went in for a Sunday brunch for a catch up with a good friend of mine. Pleasantly surprised by the amount of food as well as the quality, as my friend remarked the shakshuka was how her mum used to make it. I thought the tea with mint was the perfect touch to compliment the meal overall. I'll be certainly returning for the middle Eastern banquet (breakfast)
What great food and such great service! The owner is so friendly and generous. They make everything themselves and the quality is high. Hard working people, I highly recommend trying this place.
I tried the Lebanese chicken wrap and it taste amazing. Looking forward to trying more things on the menu. Keep up the good work
