Arabic food in London

“What a fantastic place, from welcome to service and, obviously, the food! Had a little chat with the owners and they are truly part of Tooting community, with a formidable menu. We had a sharing brunch dish (Tepsi sharer) with traditional Anatolian coffee and tea - everything 5 stars, the taste is incredible! We had to bring home some homemade apricot jam and börek.”

“Easy to find, quickly cooked and served, great customer service and absolutely excellent food! I had the chicken shawarma wrap And my husband had the beef: yum! We are already talking about when we will come back next.”

“Delicious rotisserie chickens and shawarma!!!!”

“We have ordered from here many occasions and this place just impresses me every time. Their packaging is such high quality and their flavours are amazing! I’ve never had food ordered in be as tasty as grill cartel. Always cooked to perfection, fresh ingredients and worth every penny!”

“You know a place is good when they sell 4 or 5 items on the menu but still manage to stay in business by doing those 4 or 5 things extremely well. This is one of those places. Fantastic fresh bread and shawarma. if you enjoy food for the taste, definitely check this out”

“I love shopping here. A huge variety of produce from around the world. I always find something new. All the fruit and veg are very good quality and the staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. I often ask how to use a new vegetable and they have great advice.”

“Whilst on a trip to London we visited Hiba Street Food based on its great Google reviews. We weren't disappointed! Service was friendly and we were offered plenty of advice on the best dishes to choose. We managed to get a table on the street outside, but needed to push two tables together as there was so much food!! Everything tasted fresh and authentic, we couldn't fault the place. Great prices too! Can't recommend enough.”

“Discovery of Real & Authentic Lebanese Culinary Delights in the heart of London Recently, while I was in the area during early evening, I decided to have a quick Falafel Sandwich at Awafi Foods, as I had been here pre-Covid for dinner once. Therefore, I am quite familiar with this outlet, as I fell in love at the first bite, and it was always in my mind to try their food again, after Covid, whenever I am in the area, as a must. I just fell in love with the food here, as Lebanese Food in among my most favourite preferences from ages. This is takeaway, cafeteria, which mainly specialises in outdoor catering, with delivery and serving facilities with chafing serving dishes, all packaged together in the deal for many important events, like weddings, birthdays, get-together parties, etc. By then, and on this visit, I saw their Vans busy being loaded up all the time, with hot food for deliveries to various destinations for various events, and they are very busy all the time. Yet, they pay great attention to detail, with same curtesy and warm smiles, even while serving a client who walks in for a simple sandwich or a burger, too. Last time I tried their Kofta Kebabs, Lamb Kibbeh, Hummus, & Fattoush, and also bought few items as takeaway to take them home for the family. This time, I met Jason, the owner himself at the counter, and complimented him personally on the spot, for their fabulous food, and services which are 2nd to none. Surprisingly, their prices are also still the same as pre-Covid, which is an important point to note. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who craves Real Authentic Lebanese Food in London, and at reasonable and fair price, too. Ash-Cash and Ashandkaren”

“I have been in the shop today, very helpful and friendly staff, I enjoy the shopping every time I go there specially the roast chicken, I love the different spices thy have , there is a big variety of spices from different countries, and the meat and chicken is always nice and fresh in the butcher.”

“They are by far the best Iraqi food suppliers. Everything is of good quality and made traditionally.”

“Cozy and comfortable dining experience - almost feels like you're in your own living room. Had the hummus, falafel and lamb meshwieh and vegetable rice. They even gave us a free small desert at the end. Would definitely recommend!”

“Amazing food, very affordable prices. We got the mixed grill, biryani, yogurt dip and drinks for £46 including service charge. Wonderful service staff were very friendly and humble. Looking forward to attending again.”

“Can’t go wrong £5 falafel wrap, keep up the good work”

“Worked opposite David’s for 10 months - had lunch there at least twice a week. The food is beautifully homemade, I particularly loved the Falafel and Halloumi wraps. The baklava is unreal and to top it off, all of the staff are just delightful. Very sad to not be a West Hampstead resident anymore and will miss this spot dearly! Thanks for everything guys x”

“It’s nice small place but the Food was amazing. I had a platter for 2 which we couldn’t finish and had a lamb ozi which was delicious. Good size portions. They know how to cook I will definitely recommend them and visit them again. Keep it up guys”

“I ordered the most delicious lamb majpoos ever. Super tasty and melting just like butter. Thank you for being the best chef for this dish.”

“Love this shop - great selection of Turkish and Mediterranean food. Check out the bakery aswell.”

“Spot on home delivery of the vegetarian roast !! I am a roast dinner expert , and everything about this door to door delivery was 5 star! Lovely staff on the phone and upon delivery! Very satisfied customer ! Cheers guys !”

“The servers were very attentive to our group requirements. The lamb was tender, juicy and crispy on the outside. The hummus was silky and full of flavor. The salads were fresh and tasty. The owner shared the time between cooking the food in the kitchen and welcoming the customers in a friendly way. Thank you! It was a great experience and we highly recommend this place.”

“This was the first time attending. I went for a friends wedding reception meal; it was really nice; the food was well cooked and served quickly. I was full and was satisfied with the portions; their platters are huge and can feed at least 6 people. I will definitely revisit. The majority was grilled food and their salad was amazing!”

“I'm live reviewing this. Almost finished my lamb shwarma wrap. It's one of the best things I've ever had. So spicy. So flavourful. The tanoor is perfection. I can die happy.”

“Delicious food, big portions and some unique kind of plates in here although it’s might sound like the typical Arabic kind of dishes but the flavors are well well executed in a unique way only Villa Mamas can provide you with. Loved the outdoor seating in here as inside it felt quite hot, staff were helpful yet can do slightly more smiling :) prices were above average but I found it reasonable for the above average portion size too”

“First time of trying food from Michaud, I had chicken sharwarma, unbelievable how fresh & tasty, you can genuinely taste it’s made individually, with care & time. Not manufactured bulk made, it was so tasty, will be a regular customer, thank you Michaud!”

“A few years ago, my family and I started regularly visititinf Almaskouf whenever we are in London. The standard is always excellent. Every single time, we order the speciality, which is the large fish in advance. It is grilled on wood from an orange tree with a pomegranate glaze on top. The other numerous other dishes are also tasty. The service is excellent and everyone there is extremely kind and respectful. It is priced extremely reasonably. Thank you!”

“Arabic restaurant, very delicious cooking, works well, I recommend visiting it,”
