ALYAQUT - (Near Kensington and Chelsea, london)

1 /5 U F: So disappointing. The food lacked the authentic taste and it came with no sauces or dips whatsoever. The chicken wasnt really flavourful and the kebab was really overcooked. There was barely any bread, one small piece. For the price, it was absolutely not worth it.

1 /5 Yamina Ka: I honestly don’t understand how this place is still open. My visit to Al Yaqut was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. First, the service was shockingly rude. A woman working there demanded payment in a very unprofessional way and refused to provide a bill until I insisted several times — completely unacceptable. The food was awful and overpriced, nowhere near the quality you’d expect for what they charge. But what really made me uncomfortable was the environment — people were openly smoking cigarettes and shisha indoors, with no windows or proper ventilation. The air was heavy and suffocating, making it hard to breathe. It honestly felt unsafe and unsanitary. I also got the impression that some of the activities there might not be properly licensed, especially regarding shisha and alcohol — which raises serious concerns. Please avoid this place at all costs. There are many far better, cleaner, and more professional restaurants nearby. Save your time, money, and health — run away from Al Yaqut.

1 /5 chaimae marrakchi: Absolutely disgusting place there was constant fights in addition the doors where locked and the manager wasn’t allowing anyone to leave unless the payed the minimum spend regardless how long they where or if the ordered any food. overall please don’t go to this place unless you want to find yourself in a dangerous situation

1 /5 Dhuha Al-Shaikhli: Unfortunately the open buffet was a horrible disgusting experience. The rice smell, the food was placed next to the door and got frozen. The cutlery was all over the place. They just didnt care. They had no one to clean the tables, or the floor where lots of food was spilled. Horrible health and safety as it was slippery because of food on the floor. They stack the tables so they have as much as possible of people to come in. We queued for long time to reach empty tray of cold left over food. Honestly I dont know how this resturant is still open.

5 /5 Hunch A: Alyaqud is a gem for Middle Eastern fine dining! The food is authentic and bursting with flavour, the service is outstanding, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting with stunning traditional seating. A must-visit!
