Lamar Cafe & Lounge

"Definitely a hidden gem! Food is amazing, customer service is great and the shisha is 10/10! Really impressed and will be coming back regularly."

"Excellent customer service. The food was amazing and the presentation was outstanding me and my friends had a great time at lunch.this is the 2nd time we went and thats our favourite spot to chill, relax and enjoy all the positive vibes.once again outstanding customer service. Highly appreciated and recommend."

"Good friendly service, the humus with freshly baked flat bread is to die for (definitely a must) almost had to take my main home the humus was so good. My main dish (chicken shish) had a lot to live up to after the humus but without a doubt chicken was succulent and grilled to perfection. Don't let the location fool you either!"

"Came to Lamar lounge yesterday and it was a terrible experience. We had made a booking for New Years Eve at 20:00. When we arrived the guy with the board says "have you called to confirm your booking?" We had an email confirmation stating "all done your booking is confirmed". He said "didn't you receive a text message and call from us ?" We didn't receive either and the email clearly states the table is confirmed. Man with the board was already moaning and rather unwelcoming. Didn't even bother to say "Hello" or even smile. Off to a bad start although the security man was very pleasant. We got to the table and the manager/waiter said we need the table back at 21:30. This is fair enough as it is New Years Eve but it's the tone and the way this message was communicated was inappropriate. You just can't speak to paying customers like this. We are sat down and then given menus. We ordered the Beyond Burger with some other starters. Then 5 minutes later they said it's not available. Then we ordered Falafel wraps, Spicy potatos wraps, some chips, Halloumi and a couple of Pizzas. In the menu the Falafal plate states it comes with hummus which the Falafals didn't have. We didn't bother to query this as the waiter wasn't really interested in serving us. He would just try to avoid us or while taking our order he would just talk to his colleauge. The Falafals were tasteless and very dry. A large plate of sub standard Falafals for £7 is outrages for an industrial estate in Perivale. The rest of the food was dry and tasteless. Pizzas weren't great either. We also ordered shisha which was good. On to the bill. We didn't ask for the bill but at 21:10 the waiter just came and slapped it down on the table. Again, I understand it's New Year's Eve but there wasn't anyone waiting for our table and we still had 20 minutes to finish our food. They had addedd two extra portion of fries so we asked them to take this off. It took them quite a while to correct this mistake. No apology was made for this error on their part. Overall, this place isn't great. The customer service is awful. All the staff are very unwelcoming and not friendly at all. At this price point I would expect a certain level of service and food. This place just doesn't meet that level. I would not recommend this place and neither would I return."
