   I tried the lamb kebab here and it was very good, especially with the freshly baked bread and hummus. They also serve plenty of fresh juices and cups of tea, which makes the experience feel close to authentic Arabic food culture. The tables inside are clean, everything looks hygiene-safe, even the restrooms. It’s not really a full restaurant in the classic sense, but more of a fast food place with table service — great for a quick and affordable bite if you’re nearby.

   Al-Dhiyafa is a very good and reasonably priced halal Arabic restaurant in London. The food is tasty and affordable — I especially enjoyed the mutton majboos

   Made a quick stop here. Amazing food. Hummus is top of the top. You wouldn't find any better. Not in London, not anywhere in the world.

   Where to start with this restaurant… Edgware road is plagued with overpriced Middle Eastern food places that offer the same bland variety of dishes with cold service at best. Al-Dhiyafa remains a gem amongst the overhyped and overpriced rocks which offers incredibly humble service and prices for food that is delicious and generous portions-wise. Service is incredibly quick and considering the amount of food ordered I believe a 5-10 minute wait is somewhere you will rarely, if not, never find in London. The chicken shawarma is a staple that was enjoyed thoroughly. Whilst waiting you are also provided with a complimentary dip made up of greens, chili and olive oil which I assumed to be tabbouleh with pickled vegetables. A sweet chili sauce is already provided on the table and our fries were accompanied by a whole bottle of ketchup and mayonnaise each. I ordered the gouzi which is a lamb shank and this came with a large portion of white rice on one side of the plate and vermicelli rice on the other. You also had the choice of choosing a bean, vegetable or potato based stew to accompany the gouzi dish and I chose the potato choice. The meal did not become as heavy as I’d experienced in other restaurants and I was able to happily finish most of it. It was full of flavour and just the right amount of spices which made the meal a delight throughout the dining experience. The meal was finished off with two diet cokes with which we were also given straws. I will definitely return to try more varieties of their dishes and desserts, Al-Dhiyafa truly impressed me and I wish them a successful business. Thank you for the great food and service!

   Went for a quick snack. Got a lamb shawarma wrap, flavours were pretty good and the man serving was polite. For the price it was good as a casual lunch

   Got the mixed grill very tasty, all freshly grilled over coals so you get the flavour. You can sit in and out if you want and always seems to be people there hanging out.
