Nice relaxed restaurant and lovely eastern food. Right next to the Park Theatre so you can't miss it. Nice original wood furniture and tables. Will sit outside next time if weather good. Mark

Pleasant, helpful staff. Very good food, freshly cooked. Lots of choices of tasty vegetarian dishes. Staff checked if everything was to our liking, which it was. Interesting and comfortable casual setting and good selection of unintrusive background music.

This is a lovely little restaurant right next door to The Park Theatre. Well priced and tasty food served by friendly staff. Not always the fastest service, but they knew we were going to the theatre and our food was served with time to spare. Don't expect 5*, but this is a great place to eat.

Very simple place, nice cosy atmosphere. Food was good and portions generous, but the dish I wanted wasn't available. Fairly priced but not too cheap.

The atmosphere was lively and warm, and we instantly felt comfortable. Our waitress did seem a little stressed because it was very busy, but she was great and the food was delicious. The only thing was that she brought the bill before we'd even ordered coffees and it felt like we'd had our time! Despite this, I will go back.

A busy weekday evening with only one young woman serving the whole restaurant. Result? Poor and inattentive service. The food? Maybe the kitchen was having an 'off night'. Everything we had was lukewarm, and extremely greasy. A great disappointment all round.

We love the relaxed vibe here and the food is super tasty. We have been so often, on different days, with different people, but it's always a great call! We know our way around the menu now: the Fattoush salad is not to be missed, the pastries are also a highlight.

Tasty food (including stuffed aubergines, chicken and lamb kebabs), good portions, and drinkable house wine. Coffee a slight disappointment but the little pastries that came with it were a welcome sweet touch. Pleasant and homely atmosphere; we had a good evening here.

Very good food - actually some of the nicest Lebanese dishes I've had in London, particularly an aubergine starter and beautifully done chicken livers. Only misses a 5 because of a slightly clueless server playing inappropriate music (rock in a middle eastern restaurant, after all that design care to make a pleasant visual setting?) but who changed it when asked.

Duncan S.7 years ago · 1 review

They were clearly having a poor night. We waited 25 minutes before they took any notice of us. No offer of drinks or food, five staff all ignored us. After we ordered the food came quickly and was good. Once we had eaten they then told us that today it was cash only. So then I had to walk round Finsbury Park looking for a cash machine in the rain while my guests waited. At £25 per head l, the price was high for what we had. We also sat next to the door and 80% of everyone who came in or out left the door open and froze us!!
