YACOB’s - (Near Camden, london)

Jason Campion The cutest spot in Belsize. Family owned. Retro but cool decor and the sweetest owners you could wish for. A hidden gem.

Sabrina P We stumbled upon this gem right after leaving the subway. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted and chose a table near the entrance to soak in the city vibes. Our waiter—whose name I regret not catching—took excellent care of us! For an appetizer, we went with the pickled vegetables (highly recommend: yum!). My husband chose the lamb for dinner, while I leaned into the authentic Italian experience and ordered pasta. All I can say is: yum, yum, yum! My pasta was beyond delicious. I even joked with our waiter that it was “not good,” and he laughed and said, “I’ll let the chef know.” Then came the tiramisu… so good I had two servings and barely wanted to share. The cherry on top? Our waiter packed me a to-go serving, which absolutely made my night! Definitely recommend stopping by, it’s so worth it!

Sahar Vakile We had a wonderful time last night. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. I chose this restaurant to celebrate my birthday, and it truly made the night special. I really enjoyed every moment and would happily come back again.

Nicole Matheson Just walked past and looked interesting so came in. Staff so lovely. We went with recommendations made and was delicious. I had the lamb neck (so soft and enjoy the flavour and the rice was so good). My friend had a chicken dish which was so good. Ended with a lovely cup of Persian tea... thank you for wonderful dinner

Aaron Horn This is a hidden gem of an authentic Japanese restaurant nestled in the heart of Hampstead. The restaurant itself is quite small like many of the shops in Hampstead, but they have done an amazing job to make it an original feeling high and star Japanese barbecue restaurant. They offer a full menu, including sushi, sashimi grilled skewers, main courses, starters, and Saki. The flavours were authentic. The food was high-quality and the service was outstanding honestly I can’t fault it even though they’re very busy. We managed to grab a table downstairs last minute. I had the grilled mackerel and onion skewers which were amazing. It is not cheap but it is fairly priced especially for authentic Japanese food. This is definitely a highly recommended restaurant for Me. It’s probably one of the best Japanese restaurants in the area , honestly it’s a great spot well worth going.

Graham S I was hesitant to book having read a number of reviews highlighting indifferent service however I can only report positively. Service was friendly and attentive and the food in terms of both quality and quantity was top notch. We especially enjoyed the Mac n cheese croquettes and the generous and excellently presented tuna poke bowl. The interior decor and ambience was pleasant and relaxed . A rarity for us in NW3 these days (when so many eateries are either overpriced, serve mediocre food, or offer poor service… ) but a venue we would definitely go back to !
