Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the fresh juices, with the smoothies and a banana protein shake mentioned alongside them, and several call them the best part of a visit. Close behind are the grilled meats: a butterfly chicken steak with mushroom sauce, a mixed shish with rice, chips and hummus, juicy grilled chicken, tender lamb and seafood described as cooked perfectly. The homemade naan and hummus and a garlicky mezze also draw praise, as does a chicken shawarma wrap. Diners describe generous portions, food that is fresh and hot, and a clean, relaxed room. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and welcoming, and the host is credited for speeding up an order for a customer catching a train. One reviewer notes the waitresses neither rushed nor neglected the table and checked in a couple of times. No complaints appear in the reviews. One diner says they would return on a Friday or Saturday night for the added ambience, and a team lunch ended with everyone agreeing the naan and hummus were the best they had ever had.

“Genuinely one of the best places I've ever eaten from the staff are amazing not just to their customers but to eachother as well. They also offer take out containers. The food is amazing it never disappoints. The place is always very clean compared to alot of other restaurants. One of the kindest members of staff there are Sam he makes all of his customers feel like family.”

“Awa Grill is always so consistent with their food quality. I’ve been there a couple of times before and they’ve never disappointed. This time I had the Butterfly Chicken Steak with half rice and half chips, and oh man… it was so good.The chicken breast was incredibly tender, the rice was cooked to perfection, the chips were perfectly crispy, and the mushroom sauce was absolutely delicious. As it was our team lunch, we also shared freshly made naan bread with hummus. We all agreed it was the best naan and hummus we’ve ever had. And their fresh juices are always the best. Their food makes you happy without leaving your stomach feel heavy afterwards. Just really good quality, freshly cooked food. 100% recommend ❤️”

“Excellent food and great service! I had the chicken shawarma wrap and a banana protein shake—both were fresh, delicious, and full of flavour. The wrap was perfectly made, and the shake was smooth and refreshing. Highly recommend and will definitely be back! Thanks to Sam.”

“It was a toss between The Turkish Kitchen or Awa Grill House. Wonderful food, i ordered a mix shish with rice, chips and hummus. It was nicely cooked, the meat/chicken wasn't burnt at the edges, jyat nicely char'd. Full of flavour!! As for the service, warm and welcoming. The waitresses didnt imposed or push for a quick order, nor did I have to overly wait. The staff checked a couple of times if I needed anything and everything was as expected. Thank you for a pleasant dinner. I would certainly dine here again, maybe on Friday or Saturday night for the added ambience.”
