  “This was truly a great find! We ordered the Lamb Tajine, sea bass, creamy chicken and mushroom, and everything was absolutely delicious. The sea bass was fresh, flavourful, and perfectly cooked. Even the fries and cabbage salad were fantastic! The service was amazing as well. The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and caring throughout our visit. Honestly, it’s hard to pick a favourite because every dish we tried was so good. Definitely a place worth visiting—we’ll be back!”

  “We went there once for dinner and the other morning for breakfast. Both times the staff was very friendly and forthcoming. The burgers (especially the fries!) were delicious, as well as the breakfast plates with fresh pita bread. We highly recommend to get a cup of coffee here, the best one we had in London! Note: it can get quite warm inside in the summertime, but the fans make it bearable.”

  “Really exceptional breakfast. Great food, great service. Lovely decor. We had the Shakshuka and Mediterranean breakfast with a pot of tea and Spanish latte. I don't usually have hot drinks but the Spanish latte was lovely, very sweet and creamy.”

  “Wonderful food with great variety. We ordered merguez and fried calamari (starters) and lamb tagine, chicken tagine, steak and fish & chips. All the dishes were very tasty and authentic. Some portion sizes could have been better. The prices were a little on the higher side especially considering the 10% service charge, but perhaps par for the area. Inside the restaurant feels a bit cramped for space, but the ambience is still good.”

  “We visited this restaurant on our last day in London and had a great experience. The food was delicious, with just the right amount of spice - perfect after a tiring trip. We weren’t very familiar with Mediterranean cuisine, so we asked the staff for recommendations. We shared the Fattoush, a tagine, and two saffron rice dishes between the two of us, and everything was excellent. We also enjoyed the mint tea and Moroccan tea, which were a perfect way to finish the meal. The staff were very friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Highly recommended! Visited from Japan🇯🇵”

  “This is our second time coming here and once again we had a great experience. The food is delicious, the portions are very generous, and everything arrived surprisingly quickly. You can tell they care about both quality and service. Definitely a place we’ll keep coming back to and would happily recommend to others!”

  “Not too Far from the Paddington station in London is Hayat, a family run Mediterranean restaurant. A cosy and compact place, Hayat serves up some amazing dishes. From the grilled Moroccan Merguez to the Egyptian Hawawshi, the dishes were packed with flavour. Recommend for a quick bite or a proper meal when in the area.”

  “Went for breakfast this morning and it was lovely!! The food is delicious, really flavourful, and the portions are generous too. Had the fava beans, baked eggs and halloumi jam - all amazing and served with warm pita. Good Turkish coffee too, and the staff was soooo welcoming, really warm and smiley.”

  “The food was EXCELLENT... arguably the best lamb that I have ever eaten. That's a tall remark given that I have sailed through many of the best restaurants in Dearborn Michigan. I gave 4 stars for the condition of the seating areas. Clean, but 3 or 4 years remote from mid century modern tables and chairs.”

  “This place is just a couple of minutes walk from Paddington station, and it's very pretty on the inside and outside. The food is halal, and was lovely. I had lamb chops, lots of salad, halloumi and hummus. Freshly made bread was supplied too. Everything was delicious, but I ought to have asked for the lamb to be well done. It was still great. The food was beautifully presented as you can see in the photo, and it all tasted as well as it looks. The waitress was great, and it was nice and quiet, and the seating was super comfortable. I will definitely love to visit this place again, next time with friends.”
