I can't believe how good everything here is. You must get the bread and lamb combo. I was very impressed with their aubergine dishes which is eggplant based for Americans. We don't really know what Aubergine is but my Brits friends made that known to me years ago Good portion. My favorite was however the bread which was freshly made and only £2.50. Great ambience to boot. Lots of single diners and family diners. I would definitely come back next time! Really the best Iranian food!

Moutabel (I've had a richer deeper taste), aubergine with spices and herbs; tasty but not astonishing and a middling foul medmas (I've had it far more complex and rich tasting, also lacked the bit of spice I've had before). Also served lukewarm and not hot as indicated on the menu. So likely wouldn't return sadly.

If you don't like the smell of meat grilling and it getting into your clothes and hair, this isn't the place from you. Everyone here is very helpful and the vibe of the restaurant and staff is lively and upbeat. Everything here is served tapas style, so feel free to share or not. The food is pretty great and worth a visit or two, because I didn't have enough stomach room to try every single dish. We ordered naan, labneh, za'aluk, artichoke, oyster mushroom, cauliflower, and finally lamb. You can watch and smell everything that's being made and it's all tasty. The dishes are so flavorful and fresh - I know these are generalizations, but dining here is worth it.

The foul arrived bubbling and steaming pot and the portion is substantial. Incredibly tasty with rich spices and herbs but not too spicy. Also, the dish comes with a huge serving of bread.

Garlicky, creamy and just incredibly tasty.

Since we were passing through London, we figured that we would check out Queen of Sheba. We found the restaurant but the door was locked when we tried to open it. Some of the restaurant staff came to the door and asked if they could help us. They were surprised that we were trying to eat there! Haha. Once they knew that I lived in Qatar and my friend lived in Kuwait, it was smooth and they brought the food. We started off with the traditional maraq soup (made from lamb broth) that always starts off the meal. It was great. Then we got mandi meat (lamb with rice) and chicken ogda. The mandi meat was decent and the chicken ogda was good but needed to be in the black pots to keep it warm. We were happy to discover that they had fresh juice and we got lemon mint which was great. The bread was also good and they had a bread oven in the restaurant. We ended the meal with some karak tea (black tea with milk and sugar) and it was yummy. Overall, it was a pretty good experience but quite expensive (I guess this is London). More information about Yemeni food: http://www.bandaraden.com/about.php
