Indoor shisha smoking on the first floor, the only reason it gets 3 points. Service isn't friendly, tea is pretty poor, shisha is good, but hey, it's …

Its a first Arabic Restaurant visited while in London. Food was ok but not up to par as in Middle East. Service was poor. They served sheesha but not great. There are plenty of places for sheesha in this stretch. The beggars were a nuisance as they kept returning while turned away many times.
The restaurant is certainly good but there are better. To begin with, the decor is depressing and gaudy. The service is displeasing. Staff is unfriendly and inclined towards arab speaking clients. On the upsides, the food is good , their meze platter and mixed grills are pretty decent. The opening and closing time are added bonus !
This place in my opinion serves one of the premium kind of sheesha and food.This is the reason why it is probably one of the most crowded place in the locality.I cannot quite comprehend the low number of reviews for this place.Being my most lovable joint in the locality ,i advice people to drop in during pleasant month to the enjoy the incredible patio area.
The food is very good apart from the salads and humus. The ambience is great and the service is also very good.The fish tank which is present in the premises looks appealing.It is a fun place to hang out which is not too expensive.It provides you with a good dining experience and the quantity of the food is also very good.Overall It was a good experience.
I had the worst experience at this place. The place offers middle-eastern food, which is not at all authentic. They have seemed to mix middle-eastern food with a sports bar feel kind of an ambiance. Sports playing on the screen ruins the entire atmosphere of the place. After complaining to the staff, I was talked back at and was also abused. A terrible experience. Never going back.
I have visited this place a number of times before and I definitely recommend everyone to go there when they are around. The food is brilliant, however the service is kind of flaky and you have to wave your hands to get their attention but they are quick to take care of your needs. The interior is a bit basic but overall speaking, the atmosphere is quite good.
The place was extremely disappointing and such an unpleasant meal. To begin with, the decor is old and mundane. The atmosphere seemed dead despite being a saturday night. Coming to food, every dish was tasteless and dry.They refuse to serve tap water and is really repulsive with their arguments over everything. Would not recommend, such a rip off!
