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.
