This is a Bloomsbury-ite favourite and a personal one as the Algerian owners indulge me in a little Arabic conversation.
The standard of customer service is best illustrated by an anecdote of my first visit, with my Dad, on the day I moved into university: we ordered, sat and had our food delivered. We suddenly realised they didn't take card and we didn't have cash or time, but the owner was so relaxed and said his mother taught him never to refuse anyone food - he told us to come back another day and pay. We could barely believe the kindness and of course we kept to our word.
I'm sure it's this goodness of heart which means the queue at lunchtime is out the door, but either side of the rush and you'll find a table and the clientele are really anyone and everyone.
The wraps are easily most popular - there are plenty of carnivore and vegetarian options all filled with salad, tahini and chili sauce. I'd recommend the falafel Lebanese wrap for first timers - guaranteed you'll want to come back and try more. There are also big plates of mezze or meat based mains which are probably second-most popular, and a wide selection of soft drinks in the fridge and hot coffees and teas.
The value here is exceptional - around £4 for a huge wrap so although this isn't the best Middle Eastern food I've had this side of the Mediterranean, it's fantastic value for money and a Bloomsbury staple, handy for houmous-based emergencies.
Nice cafe serving various foods.
Went there several times for brunch/lunch. We tried their falafel wrap, halal English breakfast, lamb rice salad, etc. Overall, the food was tasty. Outdoor seating has nice atmosphere too as the area is not too crowded.
Highly recommend their Lamb Kofta with their handmade Morroco wrap. The falafel is also very good too!
A 13 min walk from Kings Cross station, it is a nice corner resturaunt with indoor and outdoor dining. The chef is very welcoming, cheerful and even gave us a piece of falafel that was so soft inside yet crunchy exterior.
The wraps are heated up in a panini press to give it a nice soft crunch. Balanced with fresh lettuce n tomato filling and spice that doesn't overpower the overall falafel wrap.
The chicken samosa is very strong in flavor in comparison but gets cold fast, recommend if indoor or ready to eat.
