Traditional middle eastern food in London

“As a lebanese, I can assure you that the food is really good at ishbilia! Al Anizie went above and beyond to make sure we have a great experience. They also served us baklava on the house. In brief, I recommend it!”

“It was our first time in London from New York, and we went to Colbeh by chance. It was the most incredible Persian food I’ve ever tried abroad. The environment was clean, cozy, and friendly. The staff is amiable, and the food is beyond good. They made us feel welcome, and it was one of our best experiences in London. their prices it’s 100% worth it. Highly recommend!”

“There's parking available which on the main road pay and display. which can be a hit and miss. Pay and display mon to saturday. There's free residential parking on the side roads but can be busy. Good quality of food. Excellent service. Well presented, no delay. Highly recommended! This is a review of the Palmers Green restaurant.”

“First time here. Definitely not the last: amazing and extensive choice of quality food. Reasonable prices. Very friendly and efficient service. Happy chefs!! All good!!”

“Great food and staff as always just had a lovely Iraqi gathering last night and it was one of the best.”

“I went to the one in Canning Town, at first I thought it was a normal take away shop until I walked in. There is a mini restaurant inside and the mixed grill was amazing. Well seasoned and it was a wonderful catch up with friends after work.”

“Simply brilliant. Great value, attentive service! Food portions were great, and nicely presented on these large chopping board plates.”

“I've been to bluewater many times and have always walked past this place. It's noticeable with its flowers on display. I finally visited and did not regret it. Great atmosphere with lights and plants. Food are good portions and everything tastes amazing.”

“Lovely restaurant, excellent service, nice area, clean toilets. The meal was lovely as always. Would highly recommend if you are hungry and nearby. Worth travelling to even if you're not nearby.”

“Great experience. The staff were so polite and made sure everything was perfect. As for the food, quite possibly to best quality Indian food I've ever had in my life. Highly recommend that you go here.”

“Best Lebanese food in London! The food was served really quick and the waiters explained everything that was available really well. The tables were clean and there is plenty of seating space available upstairs where it was warm and tidy. Starters and mains came really quick and everything was cooked to perfection and tasted fresh. Mohammed, Hadi and Rezk all looked after me and my friends and provided amazing service. I will definitely come here again as they also serve shisha!”

“This place is the go-to spot for when you're hungry and don't know what to eat. The kebab is delicious and you can have it in different ways such as a sandwich, burger, wrap, in a box or on a plate. It's great for both take-away and eating in. I would definitely recommend tasting their unique sauces and doner in bread meal. Alongside being halal, this place also has vegan options. The workers are friendly and helpful, they are also fast so you wouldn't be waiting for long periods of time for your food. The price is reasonable and better than the competitors around them. I would definitely recommend giving it a try if you are around.”

“I recently had the opportunity to dine at German Doner Kebab in the UK and was thoroughly impressed with my experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with friendly and efficient service. But the real star of the show was the food. The burgers were cooked to perfection and were bursting with flavor. I opted for the classic chicken burger, which was made with a shredded chicken right from the and topped with melty cheese, crisp lettuce, and ripe tomato. The bun was soft and fresh, and the entire burger was expertly assembled. I also had the chance to try a few of the sides, including the crispy fries and creamy coleslaw. Both were delicious and added to the overall great meal. Overall, I highly recommend for anyone looking for a high-quality burger in the UK and value for money. The food and service were top-notch, and I will definitely be returning in the future.”

“Wonderful place to eat. Staff were excellent and attentive. I changed the rice for hummus and it was no trouble.. fantastic tasty menu.. not expensive for this part of London.. would highly recommend. I had the mix grill xx Gia our server was just fabulous and a credit to the restaurant x”

“Sahara is a lovely Lebanese restaurant and is superbly situated on St John's Wood High Street. It has lots of indoor & outdoor seating. The food is delicious & everything on the menu is just scrumptious. The coffee is exquisite especially when paired with the baklava which is heavenly. The staff are polite and friendly. I would highly recommend Sahara for any foodie lovers.”

“Really, really good food, the best hummus I've ever tasted and wonderfully kind staff.”

“We've eaten a few times here. Friendly staff and good food! The decor is great. The restaurant is clean and well laid out. Highly recommend a visit. Well priced despite its top location.”

“Absolutely delicious food and very friendly service. The hummus was the nicest I have ever eaten and I’ve eaten a lot! And the aubergine stew is amazing… very clever to get such depth of flavour from such simple ingredients. I can absolutely recommend this lovely restaurant.”

“The fried chicken is one of the best I’ve had and the rice cake reminds of when I visited Korea”

“Despite the bad reviews, i would really recommend this place, I've been coming here for 3 years now and they never let me down! If you were to go i would recommend a doner kebab. Very hygienic place. In addition, since this is a kebab shop, the staff speak Turkish i can absolutely guarantee customers that the staff never talk about their customers behind their backs, even open up translator if you want. (I know this since i am half Turkish). Overall, they have very good food with decent prices and good service.”

“It is a great place to feast with family and friends. The portions are very large and the prices are quite good. Especially mix kebab is a must-try. Salads and appetisers that come with the dish are so good that you can be full while eating them. Besides, sutlac ( rice pudding) was one of the best dessert we have eaten in a long time. Employees are always ready to help you also hygiene and cleanliness of the place is very good. It is a large and spacious place.”
