No idea why this place has such positive reviews.
It?s the type of establishment that things it substitute atmosphere by playing 80s tacky pop hits through a tinny speaker. Didn?t help that they sat us directly under said tinny speaker.
The portion sizes were ridiculously overpriced and small. £25 for one tentacle of octopus.
The staff were fine but not particularly attentive either. Gave us the wrong starter which I said was okay but then left us with no water for over 20 mins. The dishes also took a while to come out instead of being served at the same time like other small dish restaurants.

This is a fantastic restaurant, one of the best I've been to in London! Really attentive and lovely service, helping explain the menu, a great atmosphere, loved sitting round the open kitchen. And the food was to die for! The salmon dukkah was perfection, the labneh the best I've ever eaten and the grilled halloumi so moreish! If you enjoy middle eastern/north African food you HAVE to try this. It was so good I ate way past being full, but had no room for dessert, so I'll definitely be back!

Great choice of vegetarian dishes. Falafel is a must try perfectly fried with a thin layer of coating. Hot Naan and spinach dip also tasted quite delicious. Cauliflower was okayish. Hashcake for desserts was quite elegant.

I wish I could come here everyday! It's been a while since the last time I enjoyed eating out that much. This place has it all! Great ambience, lovely service and amazing food. If you enjoy eating at the bar and being able to see what the chef is doing, this is your place! If you enjoy sharing small dishes, this is your place! If you want to try something different and be blown away, guess what? This is the place! Our waitress recommended the spinach borani and it was awesome. No idea how you can get spinach tasting that good, but it's just so tasty. The naan bread just melts in your mouth. And don't forget about the dessert! The baklawa was the best! Seriously, this place is a must?

An excellent restaurant serving the best of North African and Mediterranean cuisine. The venue is very intimate with seats around a bar (of sorts) surrounding the chefs and staff as they work their magic.
Some highlights were the lamb, the taramasalata style dip and the bread (Jerusalem bagel and naan).

This is my favourite restaurant in the city. I?ve been several times now and every time is better than the last - would give 6 stars if I could

I regularly eat out and I love trying different types of cuisine. But this is by far the worse experience.
So last week we went there for dinner
As soon as we walked in -it was noisey and humid ? music was very western white rock music . I was expecting a different kind of vibe and music if it is a North African cuisine ?.the lady waiter was constantly up selling and telling us every dish is her favourite??? too hard sell . How is everything your favourite? So stupid.
We are very cultured people - so it?s a little bit difficult to deceive us .
Portions are ridiculously small , one of the dish we ordered was the Lamb chop dish and it was £27 for 2 tiny tiny chops?. Everything was tiny ? I was not so sure how I felt to pay £130 for 2 ppl and we walked out hungry. Like what ????
One of my North African friend didn?t even want to come and try because she knew it will be a waste of time and money.
For me, this place is for white people who don?t know the actual culture and they will feel like they are so cool and suddenly they are all ?cultured ? after they come here ?. Very lame .

I wish I had gotten the name of our waiter. The young man took so much time to assist my mom with recommendations as she has quite a few dietary restrictions.
The quaint location makes you feel like you know the staff personally with the food practically being prepared in front of you. The chef stepped out to speak with us and give us some London recommendations as it was our first visit. With all that said, the food was prepared very well and the presentation is stunning.

The food was very good, and the staff was also very friendly however the name and the theme of the restaurant left a bad taste in my mouth. The online description of the food claims it to be North African. Well it is not. Furthermore the term barbaric used by the staff to describe the North African region is extremely derogatory and a slur. As a North African I feel not comfortable supporting this

We booked our Saturday seats via Dorsia. Hands down the best experience in a while. The food, the service, great music at quite a high level which gives it fun and casual yet fine experience feel to it. Gentleman who looked after us made 70% of the experience and can?t thank him enough!
