“In Syrian culture, we can’t make any journey without first planning the food. If you decide to go to the cinema, you plan what you’ll eat. If you plan to visit your mother, you know that you’re going to eat. There’s no going out without eating something.”

-Imad Alarnab



Imad Alarnab was a successful restaurateur in Damascus with three restaurants, plus several juice bars and cafes. In the war, Imad's restaurants were destroyed and he was forced to flee the country in search of safety for his family. Making his way from Lebanon through Europe, Imad shared his skills cooking for other refugees, up to 400 at a time, and found even in the most challenging times, his passion for food and bringing people together to celebrate life was strong.

    Absolutely delicious. Stick a pin in the menu and you will have a delicious meal wherever it lands. Was disappointed the Syrian doughnuts were no longer on the menu, but if enough people ask, then they have to bring it back! If you go, please ask about them.

    The food was amazing and loved everything that we ordered- stand out was the Suda. Unfortunately the meal felt very rushed. When I booked the table I was unaware that the kitchen would close 15 min after our seating. Throughout the meal we were pushed to order and finish our food uncomfortably fast. I will consider returning for the food - just will book for early in the evening next time! Was pleased to discover that he has a cookbook which I am eager to check out.

    Very nice place! We loved being there. Remembering Syria as it was. We stayed in Damascus before the war. Food was delicious. Nice staff. Very good experience.

    This is one of my favourite restaurants in central London now. The food is absolutely delicious, and the staff are the kindest most helpful people, very very pleasant to deal with and always ready to help with a smile. The place is a little noisy, it can be a little difficult to talk at times. But other than that a nice and cosy venues. Prices are fair. Or to put it more realistically, compared to the shameful economics of any other restaurant in London, they definitely lean towards the “good value” side. If you’re well hungry you’re going to spend around £45 inclusive of one drink and service.

    Delicious flavours and textures in all our dishes - lamb skewers and lamb kofte together with beetroot starter. Tasty warming spices. All food tasted very fresh. Service fab especially with Maria! Will highly recommend and definitely be back!
