Wait staff and servers were charming and helpful, service was prompt and the food did not disappoint. I had the roasted Aubergine starter with pita and opted for the Tagine Andalus for my main. Delicious, very visually attractive and with lots of well-cooked seafood, the Tagine was just as described - a paella done in the Tagine cooker. Thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended. I will certainly be going back.

Going into this restaurant with my boyfriend I was happy to be greeted by a friendly but…read moreprofessional waiter. I was really impressed with the prices which I thought were extremely cheap (However, upon looking at the menu online before writing this review to make sure that I get everything right, I realise that the meat dishes are actually not that cheap - not expensive, just not cheap). I had a vegetarian tagine and we shared various mezze. The service throughout was excellent. It was attentive but also not too pushy or intrusive. The ambience of the whole place is brilliant and it's one of the places that I always recommend to people now. It's a little away from the normal place that people go to eat (more towards town) but it's worth the small walk.

I will be honest and say that I had little hope for this place when I stepped in (or shall I say…read morestep down) into their underground themed restaurant. Yes, underground sounds pretty cool, huh? What did not appeal to me were the tiles which did not look clean but it may be because it's an old place-who knows ! The room is dim and quiet, just a few tables occupied on a Saturday afternoon. The waitress was nice but seemed to keep forgetting that she had asked the same question twice in 30 seconds. I have to say that when the food came, my friend and I had nothing to complain about. Yes, it wasn't like our mums food but it was good enough for a restaurant away from home. I really enjoyed the Babaganoush, Hummos and grilled fish. The Tabouleh seemed to satisfy the taste buds too! After a good three course meal, walking seemed extremely difficult! Would I go back? Yes, because it was the only decent Lebanese food restaurant in Bristol.

Lunchtime Special Menu review only…read more This may well be the best value lunch in Bristol. I've lived here 33 years and cant think of another! £4.95 includes: 6 little dishes consisting of a well seasoned salad, Hummus,aubergine puree,stuffed vine leaves and a stuffed pastry all served with flat bread....mmmm you may think, but that's pretty normal fayre. THEN they serve a plate of mixed meat and beautiful flavoured rice. I chose the spicy and it was a medium pokey, very flavoursome. The atmosphere is, well, cave-like, because you're in a cave-like cellar! Its low ceilings lend itself to intimacy and you really feel like you're dining alone, even if the room is packed. Soft drinks are all £1.50 and the evening menu is reasonably priced (around £10 a main) but incomparable value wise to the lunch time menu. Caters well for Gluten-Free I cant give it a 5* because I haven't had the evening menus (but I doubt the food would quite be 5*) and the steps are incredibly steep, making it difficult for children, and, id imagine, disabled access is difficult if not non-existent. Id go for lunch, id go for a fun date, id go with a bunch of mates, but probably not a 'trying to impress' meal or with Grandma. Enjoy!

But do not let the neon signage and fading photos deter you. Once inside we were given a warm welcome by the head chef/waiter/proud proprietor of the establishment himself. We had a groupon deal for a three course set meal and he diligently explained what we got with our deal. A mezze platter and anything we wanted for main & dessert. I mention this detail, because I have often felt like persona non grata when I have used a groupon at a restaurant, receiving substandard food and service and I think this open-armed attitude should be applauded. The mezze platter arrived to a round of oohs and ahhs from the table. It was pretty epic. The lovely owner enthusiastically explained all the dishes: homemade hummus, stuffed vine leaves, chicken wings, warm potato salad, falafel, flat bread and fattoush (a traditional salad of green leaves with soumak and fried bread). Each individual morsel was delightful, but for me the crisp coriander falafel and the zingy lemony fattoush were the stars of the show! For main I went for lamb toushrana, a sumptuous tagine with heart-achingly succulent lamb, apricots, dates & sultanas accompanied by (possibly the most perfectly cooked I have ever eaten) rice...heaven! Dave had lamb shawarma with (possibly slightly to his shame) chips. Which looked much less exciting to me, but he loved it. Thinking it could not get better. Dessert arrived. Crunchy gooey homemade baklava and Mahalabi (a panna cotta type dish made with rose water topped with pistachios). Stunning!

However, little was I to know that my mouth and belly were both in for such a treat.

Between us we then went for Lamb Shawarma and Tourshana. I couldn't fault the lamb. Succulent and tasty to the end. Then came dessert, oh sweet dessert. Mahalabi and Baklava between us. We were very satisfied customers. Lebanese food definitely agrees with my mouth and belly. The owner/waiter was courteous and easy to chat to, throughout. He used to be an engineer and when the recession hit he set up Afendi. If his engineering is as good as his cooking I'd like to see some of his feats of engineering!

I started with the Mezze Platter, which came with hummus, baba ghanoush, labneh, tabbouleh, a falafel, a cheese sambousek, pickles, and a grilled flatbread for eating with the dips. My favorite part was the hummus, which was nicely creamy and nutty and went perfectly with the falafel and flatbread. Next, the Chicken Taouk was marinated grilled chicken breast chunks served over flatbread with Comptoir salad (a cabbage/carrot slaw), pickles, and sliced tomato, along with hummus, harissa, and toum. Everything was flavorful, delicious, and colorfully-plated, and the service was quick and friendly too!

Unfortunately Afendi is not as good but is also not as bad as others I have tried. We got a take away from there, we got babaganoush (SP) which was very nice, lovely flat breads, chicken wings which were ok, I didn't like the spicy sausages, they were too "clovey" for me but the mixed grill was really nice, the meat was well cooked and not dry as so often it can be, the tabboleh (SP) was also good. In all I would say that it was a nice dinner and I will definitely be using them again but unfortunatley for this place I have had the don of lebanese and I wonder if I'll ever find a place to compare.

Unfortunately, I won't be coming back here. What I ended up eating was a cold, sad-looking, limp lamb kofte sitting in a bed of about three wilting salad leaves, and then some really bog-standard rice that would have been hotter and more enjoyable had I just cooked it at home, and some bean-based tomato thing that I can only describe as lukewarm red pulp. And, they made a big song and dance about the fact that we wanted to pay by cheque, despite the fact that they offered no credit card facility. We were made to feel as though we were being extremely cheeky and seriously inconveniencing them, which rather soured the whole experience, and irritated me because we were paying good money in their restaurant, and a cheque is still money, thank you very much. All in all, very disappointing: cold, lame food that felt reheated (and not enough, at that. I mean, honestly, if you're going to reheat, you could at least zap it for a few more seconds in the microwave), served very ungraciously.

It's not in business to further the vanguard of epicurean excellence, it is there simply to serve a niche in the market, and provide the locals of this particular part of St Werburghs with somewhere pleasant to drink a coffee and grab a bite to eat. I used to go there quite a lot when I briefly lived in the area. I didn't have a washing machine and so I used to use the laundrette across the road. Despite being pleasant enough, I could not spend a second longer in the place than was needed to put my washing in the machines. There's just something about laundrettes that promotes an almost allergic reaction in me... but I don't mind the dentist or hospitals... all very peculiar! So the upshot used to be that I would head straight over to Biblos and buy myself a large latte, before sitting myself at the breakfast bar arrangement that was mounted in front of the window and then I would plug my computer in. Happy days! Apart from the café in Better Food there's nowhere else to grab a decent coffee in this area, unless you are willing to walk half a kilometre to the St Werburghs Farm caff.

I'd say that it's probably one of the biggest restaurants in Bristol! From the outside it looks like something you'd sea on a beach front, with it's big terrace area and large sign. Step inside and you're greeted by a huge open kitchen and a circular juice bar in the middle of the room. The ceiling is covered by red drapes and set a really nice colorful tone for the restaurant and sets it apart from any other restaurant decor I've seen in Bristol. Then, all around the juice bar is lots of tables from 4-10 seaters. They have 2 menu's, one for food and another for juices. I was here for lunch and it was a shame that they didn't offer a cheaper lunch menu. The mains were all between £9-16, which was a little steep, especially when you add a £3.50 smoothy into the mix. So I opted for a Chicken Wrap which I was surprised when it came with chips. The chicken was devious, really nicely seasoned and spiced and really juicy. Unfortunately for me the salad in the wrap had cucumber in it, which I really don't like - but I still ate the lot! This is definitely one of those restaurant that you'll want to keep going back to try everything on the menu. It would be great as a large group so that you could share lots of stuff on the menu. I already can't wait to go back!
