Belly dancing in London

“I've been taking Belly Dancing lessons for half a year, from Marta, Sandra, and Farrah. All three ladies are excellent teachers. They make sure to repeat the moves so you remember and master them over time. As is the case with every dance, practice makes perfect. It's a ladies-only class, students of all ages and walks of life are welcomed. You can progress from one level to the next, as well as sign up for multiple (paid) lessons in the same week, should you wish to practice a little bit more. These belly dancing lessons are my favourite part of the week; they allow me to relax and have fun, providing a welcome relief during a stressful work week.”

“I’ve just started my second course with Hasina as this is exactly what I was looking for! Choreo oriented belly dancing lessons give you a great pace of learning and enjoyment. I love every second of it and highly recommend to anyone wanting to try some classes”

“What CAN’T I say about Leilah? She is an incredible dancer, an incredible teacher, and an incredible person. All of her classes are filled with good energy and fun choreo, and they’ve been a staple of my time here in London. I recommend Leilah’s belly dance to everyone!”

“I just completed a fan veil course with Oloma, and it was marvellous. I learned a great deal and had fun at the same time. I hope Oloma will do a fan veil follow-on course at some point next year !”

“I was looking for this kind of school for long time. For me is very important to learn technique and choreography in dance. The program that Helen created and teaching in her school is really very professional and is targeted on a result. I joined this bellyfitness school in September. I've learned a lot of staff since then. Couldn't even imagine that in couple of month time there will be such a significant progress. The only regret is I didn't start earlier. It is amazing to see what difference give to your body posture these classes. And how many absolutely beautiful movements now my body is able to perform. Also belly dance is extremely important for woman's energy and wellbeing. It increases our strength and endurance, good for the muscle elasticity and joints flexibility. So is an amazing way for those who is after some versatility in exercising routine. In addition to this the atmosphere in this school is very pleasant and uplifting, so we also have a lot of fun during our classes. Despite It takes me, and some of the our girls, more than 1 hour to get to the place, and the same time we spend to get home after the classes (... I'm a full time employee) I am very happy to attend this school.”

“Great classes. I highly recommend it! I had so much fun!”

“Excellent teacher, friendly person, with her courses you get to understand well music and dance.”

“I would highly recommend Cairo rose dance studio whoever is interested in learning belly dance regardless you are beginner or advanced . Janan is highly experienced and professional teacher and understand the uniqueness of each student . I have been myself student since last 2 years , joined as a non-dancer but now quite confident in performing shows happening throughout the year by the studio.”

“Lovely restaurant with wonderful food. They bring complimentary dishes out which give you the opportunity to try something different. Their dry garlic chicken is now my favourite. On a parade of shops hidden away on a residential road, I highly recommend this restaurant which we have become a regular customer’s .”

“First time having Lebanese dishes, took my elderly client of 93, it was her first experience of Lebanese food also surprisingly. We both found it to be very delicious, full of lovely flavour, and wonderful selection, and food in plentyful. The lady serving couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful in deciding what we should have, both food and drinks. Thank you for a wonderful experience we will certainly return again.”

“Fairly new on St Albans Road, North Watford. Ordered a takeaway What we ordered: - Chicken Iskender £16.00 Shakshuka £4.00 Halloumi £4.50 Chicken Mix £22.00 They also kindly chucked in some Turkish bread, dips, salad and something extra which I’m not too sure what it was but tasted great. Collected from the restaurant and saved on Uber fees. Food was great and would prob try dining in.”

“Lovely service, not too pushy, food was great. Maybe I would like to see more Turkish traditional food. I was hoping for Imam Bayildi but it wasn't on the menu. Nonetheless I enjoyed it and would be back.”

“Great food, nice atmosphere. Real quality shisha and the staff were very nice. Food portins are good,filling, and large. Had the nachos, chilli cheese fries and a pizza which ended up being too much in terms of our expectations of portion size but it was tasty and we got to go boxes. The shisha was very well presented and high quality. Tasted great and went down nicely with the drinks. £95 for 2 shisha, 4 cocktails, Chill Cheese fries, cheese nachos and a 15" pizza split in 2 was the spend. Will return.”

“Great family run business, with the Turkish flavours & lovely atmosphere.”

“I cannot recommend this class enough! It is so much fun. I joined the 5 week beginners course that started end of April. It's often nervewracking starting a new class, but I am so glad that I did. Yazmin is really attentive and observant of all the bellydance students in the class and really helps everyone to master the moves in a respectful and understanding way. It's a wonderful class with a really easy-going, non-judgemental vibe. The lessons are paced well and it really works your muscles without even realising, whilst learning a beautiful form of dance. Looking forward to joining classes again in the future!”

“Their food is soooo nice and fresh love it and their hummus is must try. Portion size is enough and staff girl was so humble.Recommended for halal labenese food in London in budget friendly range.”

“Forget your usual breakfast routine! Uncle's surprised me this week with a dinner spread that was nothing short of outstanding! I'm usually a regular for their morning delights however, today I ventured into uncharted territory – their evening menu! The star of the show? The fresh Paya. Now, I know sheep's trotters might not be for everyone, but here, they were transformed. Cooked to perfection, melt-in-your-mouth tenderness, they swam in a rich, flavourful sauce that had me reaching for seconds (and thirds)... ofcourse with two fresh fluffy roti alongside. This wasn't just a satisfying meal; it was an explosion of taste and texture. Everything felt homemade, prepared with love and expertise. The atmosphere, I imagine, reflects that same warmth. Uncle, consider your family expanded! I'll definitely be bringing the whole crew in for a taste of your magic soon.”

“LOVE this place! Food is absolutely amazing and staff are so kind. Food is of an excellent quality and very good price. Lahmacun and pides are constantly being made fresh at the front - they are some of the best I've had. The grilled food is delicious too. Chicken wings are my favourite.”

“An amazing vegan experience (was there with a non-vegan also). So so many vegan options on the menu that there was almost too much choice! (Almost - in truth, you can never have too many vegan options - I’m just not used to having so much choice that I ordered too much food and had to take some away!) I ordered 4 dishes off the lunch mezza selection; the Hummus Beirute, spicy cauliflower, moussaka and the falafel. The hummus was so fresh and proper homemade traditional style. The cauliflower was probably a standout favourite for me, but genuinely all the food was fantastic and I’d highly recommend it. The staff were so friendly and helpful; very knowledgeable about their vegan dishes and pointing out their own personal favourites. The restaurant vibe is really traditional Lebanese and I loved the decor.”

“Went here on the hunt for real falafel. I'd heard it was the real deal and it did not disappoint - so good!! Great little place too and the lady who served me was lovely and very enthusiastic and passionate about the food. I got a take away but the place is cute with a nice atmosphere so would eat in next time. Great looking menu too! A nice little find!! Thank you!!”

“Absolutely Fantastic! We celebrated my sisters Birthday at Sahara Lounge! The staff have been amazing, the food was absolutely delicious. They served us so quickly and constantly made sure that we were taken care off.”
