  “Ohhh my goodness. What a treat. From start to finish, we felt so taken care of by the two who were running Café Palestine. In fact, we felt guilty for how much concern and dedication they had for ensuring we had a big enough gluten free meal! They were so incredibly helpful. I wish we got the duo’s name. All I can say is that beyond the service, the food was also phenomenal. The dips were heavenly. The okra main was divine. And the gluten free pita was AMAZING. Make a reservation. You won’t regret it. Thank you for a perfect last night in London on a trip I’ll never forget ❤️”

  “We stumbled across this cafe while on a walk. Amazing food, friendly team, beautiful ceramics/plateware and they’ve clearly thought a lot about how to create a warm, home-like experience. In an area full of pretentious instagram-ready places, this cafe is an oasis. We’ll definitely be back for more ful!!”

  “Love this place! Always reliably great food, not too loud, and it’s reasonably priced, which is so rare to find in London. The staff are also super welcoming and kind. When I went most recently, I accidentally left my keys there and despite being closed the next day, someone kindly came by to open up so I could collect them. Would highly recommend.”

  “This is more than just a cosy cafe; it feels like a small museum dedicated to Palestinians and their culture. Behind the dining area is a small room where products like soap, bath salts, olive oil, chocolate, and beautifully designed cups, plates, books, patterned tiles, pictures and photos, etc. were elegantly arranged and displayed. Beside the basement toilets, there is a children’s bookshelf, and next to it an activity room where events related to Palestinian human rights are occasionally held. I ordered the all-day breakfast, which included hummus, mutabbel, tabbouleh (a salad made with bulgur wheat and tomatoes), olives, and halloumi cheese. The salad was quite salty, and the olives were even saltier, while the halloumi helped balance the flavours. The mutabbel—smoky aubergine blended with lemon juice—had a gentle sourness, and its smoky aroma was immediately noticeable as soon as the food was brought to me. My favourite was the hummus, which was wonderfully creamy, nutty, and earthy. In fact, I think it may be the best-flavoured hummus I have ever had. These dips were all served nicely with bread. I also had a meaningful conversation with a very friendly and polite staff about the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza Strip and the West Bank, and I sincerely hope that real peace and human rights can truly prevail there as soon as possible .”

  “Insanely good food, beautiful Arabic coffee. Very reasonable price, friendly staff, & also a wide selection of beautiful Palestinian ceramics, olive oil, and more, to buy. They also host events, Arabic classes, and contribute to incredible causes. An absolute gem, can’t wait to come back here.”

  “Loved this place. Warm and cozy atmosphere that makes you feel like you're inside a Palestinian home, the staff was kind and friendly, and the food was great. They also have a small showcase of beautiful Palestinian products you can buy. We had the tasting menu and had plenty of leftover food.”

  “One of my absolute favorite places in London! It’s definitely worth coming here even if you don’t live in the area. The space is welcoming and beautifully decorated, the staff is friendly and the food authentic, fresh, and flavorful! All of the dishes that I’ve tried so far have tasted amazing, but my favorite is the muttabal, which is out of this world delicious! As a vegan, I also appreciate that they have plenty of plant based options and even a vegan supper club on Thursdays which I will hopefully be able to attend the next time I’m in London. Either way, I will certainly be back!”
