Arabic restaurant in London

“This is a must-try at Camden Market in the shipping container food court. Finding and then eating at Mr Ali was the best part of our day. We ordered the mixed shawarma (beef + chicken), and it was incredible. The freshness of the ingredients + the incredible flavors of the meats were some of the best we’ve had across 25+ restaurant trips over the last 8 days in London. The chef himself was also kind and welcoming. I hope they open a shop in Chicago. Make time to try Mr. Ali!”

“Delicious Syrian food made with great ingredients and care (eg use of saffron in sauces). Particularly recommend the baba ghanoush and the Mashi (very unusual, I’ve never seen this before in the UK). Maher is also a super friendly, charismatic host. Strongly recommend.”

“Amazing lamb Shawarma plate - one the absolute tastiest (spiced to perfection!)”

“Loved their machine roasted chicken and chicken shawarma. Will try their broast”

“Roots – 5⭐️ Experience Roots is an absolutely outstanding place. The venue is spotless, beautifully maintained, and has a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable the moment you walk in. The customer service is exceptional — the staff are genuinely polite, attentive, and always serve you with a big smile. The food is incredible: full of flavour, fresh, authentic, and prepared with real care. Every dish feels like a celebration of taste. And of course, the highlight — the shisha. Mubarak is truly number one when it comes to shisha. His skills, hospitality, and attention to detail make the experience perfect every single time. He listens, recommends, adjusts everything to your liking, and creates the smoothest, most enjoyable sessions. His customer service alone is worth the visit. Honestly, Roots delivers on every level. A strongly recommended spot for anyone looking for great food, relaxing vibes, and top-tier shisha. A place you’ll want to return to again and again. Lots of love Mrs W Latif”

“Amazing restaurant! Having read such incredible reviews, I brought my parents here shortly after moving to the area. We love going to nice restaurants together, so I was excited to find one on my doorstep. Wow - the food is amazing - every single morsel just delicious. The flavours were all exceptional, but what makes this place so special is the service. Totally relaxed and informal, but with so much care and attention. We noticed the staff looking after each table beautifully. It’s rare to find a restaurant combining exceptional food with fabulous service. The fact it’s independent is an even bigger bonus. Could not recommend Lebanese Please more highly & also amazing for takeaway! See you soon! X”

“I had the pleasure of dining at Mezzet Dar. It was not just the delicious food that made my experience memorable; it was the exceptional service and hospitality provided by Jonas, our attentive server. From the moment we entered the restaurant, Jonas greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel incredibly welcome. His enthusiasm and passion for the restaurant and its offerings were immediately evident, and it set the tone for an extraordinary dining experience. Jonas' knowledge of the menu was extensive, and he took the time to explain each dish to us in detail. Not only did Jonas excel in his role as a server, but he also went above and beyond to ensure our utmost comfort throughout the evening. He checked on us regularly, ensuring that our glasses were always filled and that we had everything we needed. His attention to detail was impeccable, and he anticipated our needs even before we voiced them. I highly recommend visiting Mezzet Dar and experiencing Jonas' outstanding service firsthand. You can trust him to provide exceptional recommendations and ensure that your dining experience is nothing short of remarkable.”

“It’s rare to find a spot that nails both great service and great food, but this one definitely does. Whether you’re coming for a casual meal or a special occasion, it’s worth the visit. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!”

“Best customer service I've ever had in any restaurant. Every member of staff was incredibly polite, professional and attentive to detail. I loved the beef ribs I ordered, however my friends weren't big fans of the mixed grill they ordered.. and also the Bulgar rice was not as nice as the bulgar rice weve had in other Turkish restaurant. These are minor issues and overall everyone in my group said they would definitely come again.”

“Fantastic customer service from Anna, she’s an asset to the business! The food was sensational and made to order - we had the mixed grill and the grilled sea bass.”

“I love the wraps for lunch and the a la carte menu is great for the evenings. Unpretentious, good quality food that feels like it’s homemade. The owner is lovely and the restaurant is clean. I have tried almost everything on the menu and all tastes very authentic and hearty. I love the rice, fatoush salad and taouk grill and we usually share a mix of starters. Highly recommend”

“Ordered the lamb meal via Ubereats, first time having Somali food, and wow! So good and the portion was huge! Ate so much my stomach hurt. Only thing I’d say is I’d love the option to order another banana. Definitely will order from here again.”

“A truly wonderful experience! As soon as we sat down, they brought out a free soup and salad before we even ordered — such a generous touch that made us feel really welcome. The portions are huge — one main dish is easily enough for two people! Prices are very reasonable, the food was absolutely delicious, and the service was both professional and genuinely friendly. On top of that, the place itself is beautiful. Highly recommended!”

“This was absolutely delicious. Each dish was prepared with care and full of authentic flavor. The hummus was smooth and well-seasoned, topped with chickpeas and herbs, and the mutabbal had a perfect smoky balance. The falafel was crisp, fragrant, and not oily. (Highly recommended).”

“I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The atmosphere was warm, clean, and very welcoming — perfect for a relaxing meal. The staff were absolutely fantastic: friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. The service was quick, and everyone made sure we felt comfortable from start to finish.”

“I really really enjoyed the food here! My highlights were the lamb shoulder - the pomegranate perfectly compliments the lamb. The roasted pumpkin is so gorgeously paired with the sauce! The trio of dips were gorgeouuuuuusssss. The polenta fries are just stunning as well! Together with the fantastic food that we had I must also give a special mention to Dorota & Lorenzo - both are a real credit to the team! They are absolutely lovely, knowledgable with the menu & just brilliant!”

“I went there with friends who recommended the place, and I absolutely loved it! The food was beautifully presented, delicious, and served in generous portions. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Definitely one of the best dining experiences I’ve had during my stay in London so far. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely amazing experience at Amber! We celebrated our end-of-year dinner at Amber, and it truly couldn’t have been more perfect. The food was so good — every dish was beautifully presented, packed with flavour, and clearly made with care. The vibe was incredible too: warm, stylish, and full of great energy. It set the perfect mood for our celebration, and you could feel how happy and excited everyone was throughout the night. A huge shout-out to the service team — the servers were attentive, thoughtful, and really paid attention to all the little details. They made the whole evening feel smooth and special from start to finish. If you’re looking for amazing food, fantastic atmosphere, and top-tier service, Amber is an easy five stars. We left with full hearts and full stomachs — can’t wait to go back!”

“Excellent service and amazing food. Me and my friend made our way here from our hotel and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality. We especially overestimated our ability to eat it all as well, which isn't a complaint in the slightest. Portions are more than sizable, food was phenomenal and staff really friendly. You can't ask for more.”

“Wonderful Wednesday The grill is absolutely lovely. The Meat is juicy and oily. Served with salad and soup feeling good. A really good treat in the winter!”

“Almas Restaurant is one of the best Iranian restaurants I have ever visited. I came from the United States to London for a short trip, and during my stay, we decided to try this restaurant. Every dish we ordered was of excellent quality and absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this place to everyone, and I’m sure you will love it as much as I did.””
