    Amazing as usual, but put in mind it's much smaller portions than the ones in Bahrain, kofta and eggplant explosion are a must

    The service is very bad, the waitress has argued 3 times with customers in an hour during our dinner yesterday. She was so Rude with Arabs. Honestly NEVER to go again.

    Glad that she opened it in London. Everything here is delicious. Loved their lamb shank, sebzi, tajeen, kufta, chicken majbous, um ali. The Bahraini lady chef is smart & charming. Worth it always.

    Love the food its really good. However, it’s so overpriced for a casual place and service (not luxurious at all). Hate how the waiter try to be funny when taking the order.

    The famous eggplant was delicious plus every single dish. The Elba took me back to childhood days when my grandmother would send us (labwah). A very cozy restaurant with helpful polite staff.

    Hostess lady is RUDE! We’re waiting for 40 mins & when table is ready she didn’t allow us to be seated on uncleaned table saying wait not allowed & waitress is busy when she has time she’ll clean
