Fantastic cocktails , beautiful decor, great music , delicious food. This is the full 360 degree warm industrial middle eastern dining experience.

David Allen

Short rib & pork belly were delicious. The pitta is really excellent. And the dips are amazing - we had the creme fraiche with harissa oil and the aubergine . Cocktails are great too.

Jake Dylan

The best restaurant in London. The best cocktails at a restaurant . And tbh, the best staff . They're so nice. And omg the music that Danny curates for Saturday dinner is great. Brunch is good too. Ahhh

I’m a vegetarian and I LOVE this place. I always get the cauliflower ! Love their hummus , burnt beets are fantastic, celeriac is wonderful. I haven’t had a bad meal here ever

David Smetana

Wow!! This place really is a treat! Think of Middle Eastern BBQ and you have a flavour for what's coming. We had chicken wings with lamb shawarma , houmus & aubergine . It was all absolutely delicious.

Emily-jane

Fantastic middle eastern BBQ situated under the rail arches, unusual spiced cocktails , all the dishes we had were amazing especially the hummus , lamb and beef . Gets really busy so worth booking .

Matthew Sheppard

Everything we had was good. Cauliflower shawarma , pork belly , chicken shawarma , hummus - all amazing. Berber & Q is on trend at the mo and, irritatingly, offers no bookings so expect a long wait .

Victoria Hooper

Amazing selection of small dishes, loved the beets and orange , the sweet potato , the sardines and mackerel and the sausages ! Great staff too.

Jordane B

everything we ordered was a hit: the pulled lamb , the garlic sauce and all the vegetables .. winter fattouch salad , almond beetroots , artichokes .. ! were all super crazy tasty healthy.

Constance | @croostifoodi

Excellent meat (chicken and pork belly were great), nice cauliflower and dips . Divine cocktails . Great atmosphere and music . No reservation , be prepared to wait.

Shannon Low

Superb taste, a little pricey but the portions are big. Pulled lamb , beef short rib , cauliflower and smoked aubergine were all winners. Great service too.

Daren Williams

Nicely presented food. Best was the chicken wings , cauliflower and dips (chard, baba ganoush ). Short rib was tough. Music far too loud for catch ups (apparently the owner won't let them turn it down).

Victoria Savage

So tasty! Cauliflower shawarma is a must and the mix grill is delicious with decent portions. Great venue and vibe too

Emma Black

Unfortunately all the pork was gone by the time we got a table but the chicken kebab was outstanding - very soft and flavoursome. These guys know what they are doing.

Christiana Raht

Had the most delicious meal for the second time now. The pork belly and the lamb are my two winning combos- gutted to see the aubergine and bacon is off the menu .

James Gooch

Really tasty food where the veg is as good as the meat. Friendly staff and they’ll often find you a place at the bar to eat if they’re busy. Cocktails are ????

Natalia Quintero

the array of pickles and vegetarian side dishes are a major highlight here—the Moroccan Spiced Carrots and Blackened Eggplant are pretty great, just to name a couple.

Liza Tripsget

Every single dish we tried was amazing, cocktails were superb as well ! Will definitely come back!

Anna Szypkowska

Great food, mixed grill was amazing, cauliflower shawarma , sweet potato and baba ganoush ❤️

Mat A

Not just the smoked meats that are delicious, the vegetarian options are very good too. Highly recommend the cauliflower shawarma .

Laura

Not all about the meat - great veggie options like the cauliflower shawarma , beets and dips . Be prepared to squish up with strangers though.

J

Incredible meat-heavy plate. Come hungry & devour the shared meat platter. The hummus and baba Ganoush are unreal.

Rasmus Otto

Fucking amazing place. A youthful, urban version of arabic/turkish/persian food. The aubergine i a flavor bomb

Zuz

Amazing Middle Eastern food and drinks with a twist. Great place for groups as you can try more dishes ????

Anna Tjernström

Yum yum yum! Some great food and very nice interior! Something for everyone!

Jacob Underwood

Lamb shawarma , pork belly , beets , egg plant , cauliflower . Was all so tasty!

Dimitris Ntarladimas

all the dishes were very tasty and generous portions too! I recommend the spiced daq cocktail also...

Stephan

Lovely relaxed vibe . Good food, the ribs were great. Nice music and amazing cocktails too.

Callum Stevenson

Don't go as a group and order the same dish. They serve your orders on a shared platter and give you a smaller plate of food than you would have with different dishes.

Rubén S

The 'Full Israeli' for brunch is great. Very filling

Anna Wallace

Sexy venue with cool music . Tasty food and a good cocktail menu . Come for the weekend!

Ana Baldaia

Great food, cocktails and atmosphere, toilets are a journey into the Middle East. Meat is delicious

Jessi @2feet1world

Delicious, and the pork belly and chicken wings were highlights. And the garlic sauce !

Paul Broadbent

Get two vegetable sides per person, they're all excellent!

Brittany Noon

Absolutely delicious. Favourite restaurant in London, no doubt.

Daniel Bower

The lamb and beans is a really good sized portion. Definitely get extra pita bread .

Guillaume G

Smoked pork is incredible, but the beets and the cauliflower shawarma even more!

Theó

Place/ environment really nice. Food was tasteful.. not a lot of options in the menu.. menu was weak and found it quite expensive for the quantity!

Ka Yuan

Very original cocktails , ribs and homemade sausages are great

whychristo

Went again after some time. The Israeli brunch for two is great.

Cyndie Da Rocha

Not very authentic and the service is pretty dull. The food is genuinely tasty though so I would come back for a quick one.

Anja Moehler

Loved the vegetarian breakfast to share! Delicious and very filling!

swettie11

Kristine Liv

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER. that is all you need to know

Fab food, the best Baklava in London and excellent Turkish coffee .

Kristine Liv

OMG. you MUST have the cauliflower

Stephan

Lively atmosphere . Great food and drink. Friendly staff .

Glory Gonzalez

Hummus , Lamb and roasted cabbage ! Delicious! ????

Mathew Giles

Not a weak dish on the whole menu though the pulled lamb sharer with cumin salt is to die for.

John Cline

The date dessert is unbelievable - absolutely a most have

One of my favorite spots in Exmouth Market and central London. The veggie dishes are actually more of a highlight than the meat platters. Get two cauliflower schwarmas. - Katy Zack

Go for the lamb wrap. It was incredibly tasty, in great bread and with just the right notes of citrus and sumac. I only wish it was a little bigger, so go for two if you are starving! - Utku Can
