Food takes a while though. Food itself is just okay. I didn't love the seabass, the rice was dry, the chicken was just okay (per my husband and daughter). There was no complimentary bread or hummus, which was surprising. Prices were a bit high for the quality of food. Glad we tried Yasmeen but we won't likely be returning.

My husband was badly burnt by a useless waitress who served boiling hot coffee on a wooden plank, which tipped over his hand and splashed everywhere.

Every piece well curated throughout the entire restaurant to remind you that you are now transported into someone's home and they are very welcoming.

We love your restaurant and absolutely will be back.

Great neighborhood-feel restaurant with solid, if not world class, food…read more My wife and I came on a fast trip to London looking for a nice place to do dinner near where we were staying, ideally where not having a booking wouldn't be a problem. We were able to get the last table (right by the door) without a booking, which was nice, but also a bit drafty. Still not knocking it, for that because getting dinner on a weekend without a booking in London is always hard. The service was friendly, but clearly stretched. It took a while to order and then things came out relatively slowly. It wasn't a problem since we enjoyed the longer meal, but it was still noticeable. They also didn't clear any dishes until the end of the meal. My impression was that they were just understaffed on a busy weekend night. We worked our way through a lot of the menu. The labneh was only good, which was surprising because my wife loves labneh. The kibbeh had too much bread around it and I wound up pulling out the meat only and eating it. The peri peri chicken was excellent across the board. The beef sausage was amazing and the standout hit of the night. The grilled halloumi was good in that it's always delicious and this was a good example. They gave us (and everyone) a complimentary pistachio flaky pastry for dessert was also different and excellent.

Very tender, cooked perfectly, in a delicious marinade. I also had Barley soup which was amazing! It was a very good vibe in the restaurant, we haven't stopped in for dinner yet but I think it would make for a very lovely date night.

Two of us had the lamb gyro and one had chicken shwarma, and one had the falafel lunch special. The service was very friendly, and the food came out in good order. I just wish I had ordered the chicken since the lamb was nor very tender. It wasn't bad, just a little bit too tough for my taste. I think I had in my mind that the gyro would be life the American style, sliced off that big hunk of rotating meat on a spit, while this was actual lamb. The bread served with the meal was excellent as was the plate of pickles, olives and turnips. The restaurant was clean and the service was friendly as well. Just stay away from the lamb if you want tender meat.

Eggs were perfectly cooked, and sides were well seasoned. Uncomplicated plating. Place was relatively clean. What irked me was the second hand smoke: the cigarette smoke wafting in from the side walk seating area through the open door...

It looks like the staff doesn't bother cleaning the tables after customers leave, even when they had nothing else to do. The staff was rude, the food arrived late, and when it did, it was the wrong dish - I'd asked for the Aubergine Shakshuka, which comes with feta cheese, and got the plain Shakshuka. Upon mentioning it the waitress didn't look bothered, and simply asked if she should bring me aubergine on the side. I chose to keep the one I've already gotten, only to find that it's bland and watery. Overall, not a great experience.
