Harry van den Bergh

Great small middle east dishes. Absolutely loved the Muhummara, spicy roasted peppers with walnut . Also the vegetable Kibbeh was very nice. Friendly staff , and beautifully located at Borough Market .

The pigeon pastilla is to die for. Totally perfect winter warmer, it is a great balance of sweet orange blossom with delicately spiced pigeon & toasted almonds . Pair with the Lebanese Syrah red.

Deliciousssss food!! Beetroot fetteh is to die for. Stuffed vine leaves are only a fiver for quite a generous starter, and are some of the best I've tried ❤️ oh and aniseed tea !!

Maha A

One of my favourite places. Turkish coffee is amazing. Pistachio chicken shish is heaven. Lamb with harissa delicious. Fattoush wasn’t that great. Hummus with lamb 😍

Deepa Mirchandani

One of my favourite places in the area. Great food, try the aubergine , and the smoked pepper dip is yummy. Of the great cocktail menu , the rhubarb martini is to die for. Have at least two.

Daniel Byskov

Lebanese tapas . Very good food with a nice taste and prepared from a clay oven or charcoal. Order 2 dishes pr person. + dipps

Fabien Butazzi

Cons: £9 for half-a-full-of-ice-glass spritz is ridiculous. Over-overcooked Egyptian rice . Half of the meze are also available for less money in their stall at the market . Pros: food is really tasty.

Brooke Louise

Good vegan choices ; freeke was great, whole cauliflower was a bit drowned in tahini , fresh mint tea amaze.

Keri Beri

For me the BEST THING here was the Pistachio Ice Cream . I would fly back everyday just for the ice cream ...yum🍦 and the Baklawa

Everything we had was delicious but my favourites were the calamari and the falafel bites. 👌👩‍🍳

Neli Parchik

Fantastic tapas and cocktails ! The whipped feta is phenomenal as is the heritage tomato salad ! 😍

Kevin Dulin

The food was good, particularly enjoyed the mezze , but service was very rushed, and it’s quite pricey .

Dr Foodie

Great delicious selection of Lebanese food ; small plates tapas but somehow expensive .

Laurie Bennett

Great new(ish) borough market addition. Pricy but fantastic middle-eastern tapas and cocktails .

Michael B.

We had a GREAT lunch here and were very satisfied afterwards.

Leiliane Valadares

Delicious shish. The flat bread come to table warm.

ashley tevatia

Great spot in Borough Market to grab a quick bite . Falafel & hummus are good.

Liz Whitney

Tapas is small and expensive experience at the best of times, but this place is taking the piss. Two of us spent £65 and we both left feeling hungry. I've had better tapas and better turkish.

Milad Cerkic

Kibbeh nayeh and spicy lamb kofta were excellent. I'll come again :-)

Martin Tiedemann

If you're queuing for the Damascus-style falafel , get the jewel-like pickles and spicy sauce - not the same without them.

Jessica Hidalgo

Good hummus and pita bread ! Falafel a little dry...

Liam Beadman

Love this place! Great Lavantine tapas .

Barry Green

Отличный ресторан восточной кухни ! Попробовали все из меню - все очень вкусно (кроме цветной капусты , я ее просто не любою)

Superb Coffee. Go for a filter, usually roast of the day is a good recommendation, but if it doesn't take your fancy, try the Colombian. - Ken Stearn
