![4]( "Recensione")
Came here for dinner with some friends on a Tuesday night. We had made a reservation prior and it was a good shout as the restaurant got filled up after 7pm.
One of my friends came quite late so the rest of us decided to order the mixed mezze platter to start while waiting for the last one to come. The platter came with hummus, falafels, cheese sambousek, meat kibble, vine leaves and tabbouleh. For the price of £15.95, it was a good portion for the 3 of us to share and the food quality was there. Although it's an Egyptian place, it's definitely more of a fusion menu they have since this platter is Lebanese and they do state that in their menu. Just to say don't expect this place to sell only Egyptian food as they also have Indian dishes on their menu.
For mains, I ordered the kofta skewers for myself. It's a massive portion with 3 skewers of minced lamb which was nicely marinated and chargrilled and came with lots of flavours. The rice itself was also cooked with some spices which went really well with the meat. My friends enjoyed their food as well. But overall, I wouldn't say the food quality was outstanding. It's good for what it's worth but not exceptional that makes me want to come back.
Service was good, friendly and attentive waiters. They played some Egyptian music on a massive TV in the background which was frankly quite loud and so it made it hard for us to chat and talk comfortably. This is where it lost a star for the atmosphere.
Best Arabic food we have ever tasted in the UK and a meal we will never forget. Highly recommend this place, you will not regret it. Every meal we ordered was so tasty and delicious that we continued eating until we completely filled our tummies. Service by all staff was very impressive and we were so looked after by Mohamed. Lovely ambience and music and we felt so comfortable and well nourished. Thank you and we will no doubt return again when back in London.
The food was really nice. Had the foul mudamas and hawashy al basha for starters. Nicely spiced and flavoursome. For mains had the Koshary, which was very good. The spicy sauce just elevated it all. The mint lemonade was refreshing. Mohammed Issa our server was so nice and provided excellent service. Would recommend.
