Amo La Food - With Alexander Baines
+4.5
This authentic Lebanese restaurant named after famous Lebanese singer George Wassouf displays the charm of Beirut in a relatively quiet Kensington backdrop.
As a shisha fanatic, this has to be one of my favourite spots. I previously lived close to Maroush Bakehouse in Earls Court and I used to visit frequently to pickup takeaway food, but since moving slightly closer to Wassouf, I've been coming in my downtime to have a relaxing shisha session and to enjoy the good value food.
Food wise, they have classic Lebanese cuisine & they also offer deli wraps (shawarma etc.) and panini's. Their real unique selling point is their shisha, offering a range of flavours and the staff have a huge amount of technical knowledge and seem to be enthusiasts themselves, therefore the shisha at £12 lasts the same time as a shisha for £18 up the road at YAS.
If you're in the area looking for a reliable bite or a relaxing coffee and shisha, this is your spot! Thanks Wassouf!
I was there last Saturday with my bunch of mates. we wanted to try it from very long. The waiters were friendly and they suggested us to try the sandwiches so we did and the food comes out to be very beautifully decorated and it was so delicious. For dessert we tried cookie dough which was so yummy. I am planning to come back soon and try more things from its menu which really interests me. Definitely a worth visiting place.
I took my son there on his request as his friends always recommend him to visit it. The place looks so nice and the food they serve was full of freshness and flavor. The staff was also very friendly and attentive. We tried their sandwich which was well presented and of good quantity plus the taste. Looking forward to visit this place again soon.
I am quite new in this area and happened to visit this place the other day. I fell in love with it immediately and I am sure I will be coming back here repeatedly. I love the food here with its delicious flavours. I would suggest you to surely try the falafel wrap. The food is great value for money as well. The staff is amicable and very pleasant. Definitely recommend.
This place was recommended by a foodie friend of mine knowing that how much i love middle eastern food, and we were certainly not disappointed. The food was very reasonably priced and we had the most appealing and appetizing food at this place before we left for the airport. Definitely worth every morsel!
I would strongly recommend this place to every one who simply loves Lebanese food. Their menu is short and simple and they serve some pretty good dishes that are appealing and appetizing. Very high on flavors! Service as well is very efficient and attentive. This place is a great value for your money!
I've been wanting to go to this restaurant for a while. As I walked in, I was greeted in a friendly manner. It's a great atmosphere, very Mediterranean culture. I was given a seat right away, amazing service. Very friendly.
The food is delicious, great range of Lebanese food. The kebabs are very delicious. Everything is freshly made.
Highly recommended place!
This is a new Lebanese restaurant that opened up. Freshly made Mediterranean food, ranging from shawarma sandwiches to main courses such as Chicken Tikka and lamb kebab. Freshly made Lebanese salads such as Tabouli and Fatoush with freshly made juices of all kinds, including cocktails. Shisha included with outdoor seating. All flavours.
There are Lebanese deserts and other sugary delights such as muffins, chocolate, cookies. All hot drinks included such as Tea, coffee etc.
Great seating and design of the restaurant. Very traditional Arabian setting with Arabian pictures, lighting, seating, decorations which brings that Lebanese Mediterranean culture along.
Amazing restaurant and is highly recommended to visit.
Fantastic New Lebanese "excellent" dishes are presented with "understated flair" so "Delicious" not shy to ask for more. Your choice of wraps and salads create your own dish,"Eat how you like not how we like", Enjoy the best Shisha flavors with any kind of tea or coffee, We offer freshly Squeezed Juices from watermelon,papaya, ginger etc "Mix it your way" Relax with the Mediterranean seats.
Cool spot for some authentic Palestinian food and shisha [outside only].
Warm and friendly owner and staff...highly recommended.
Loved the place!
Nice little restaurant. Fantastic service. Tasty food. What more can you wish for.
We walked 2 miles round trip from our hotel to come to this restaurant, twice in 3 days. Food was excellent, service impeccable, great atmosphere and people. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
We came relatively early evening on a Sunday so probably didn't see this place at its most atmospheric but still very nice for shisha. The guy who served was pleasant and attentive. Watermelon shisha was nice, arranged promptly and the mint tea was good too. The place is a little out of the way but if you're in the area then I recommend it.
Great location, tasty food, amazing shisha, very very very friendly & helpful staff, high recommend.
Went in here randomly for lunch and my expectations where overly exceeded. Absolutely enjoyed the food and the staff didn't fail to make me laugh. Pleasant place, highly recommended if you're passing through the area.
Had a great time!
Tea was very nice and shisha was reasonably priced and tasty.
Recommended!
A+ shisha
Great little place, makes you feel like you're in a corner of Beirut or Amman.
Delicious and filling. We finished everything. The service was excellent; very attentive and accommodating.
I came with the family such a lovely place, had an amazing time. The shawarma chicken I had was so lovely and tasty, best Fattoush salad I had in London. The mezza selection was a tasty. BYO bring your own alcohol. I will definitely come back bring my family again or friends.
Here in the locality for work. Shisha was great and customer service was excellent. Will be back again!
Polite staff, very quick process from ordering to receiving it without sacrificing quality, shisha was superb and reasonably priced with many flavours to choose from. The outside seating area is perfect for a shisha as it comes with heating, so it’s the perfect spot if it’s a cold night and you still feel like enjoying shisha a with your friends.
Really good kofta wrap and coffee it's only round the corner from work so will be back again. Cheers guys
Great atmosphere, great shisha, great food!
We'll be back.
Very unique place,everything is just lovely.the food is absolutely delicious,and the staff makes you feel like you are home. Even if it’s not on your way,just go there, you will have the best food ever .
