Authentic Middle Eastern Sweets and Decor Delight
Walking into this hidden gem feels like stepping into a vibrant reimagining of a Middle Eastern bazaar, right in the heart of London. The ambiance alone is a sumptuous feast for the senses—a lush tapestry of vibrant colors, ornate décor, and the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee. The decor is unapologetically authentic, with intricate details that transport you directly into the warmth of Damascus or Beirut. Tables adorned with colorful tiles are flanked by walls showcasing an artful collection of Arabic books and conversational chess sets, setting a scene that is both immersive and welcoming.The culinary offerings further deepen the embrace of this sensory experience, as the restaurant deftly serves traditional Levantine delights with notable finesse. The velvety kanafeh, perfectly sweetened and generously layered with cheese, is a standout that's reason enough to plan multiple returns. For anyone with a sweet tooth, their baklava is a celestial mosaic of pistachio and honey, fresh and rivaling the best of them back home. Although the service might occasionally miss a beat—or an English translation—the genuine warmth of the staff more than compensates, inviting you to linger in its cozy embrace and indulge in another serving of Syrianness on the plate. This establishment offers not just a meal but an evocative global journey, leaving diners not just satisfied, but spellbound. — Jasper Griddle
