Al Beik Restaurant - (Near Camden, london)

Roxy Williams I’m so glad I popped in. I was on my way home and looking for somewhere to enjoy a glass of wine and maybe some olives. Ricardo’s looked so inviting, and after a quick glance at the menu I knew I couldn’t just have olives. The atmosphere inside was warm and cosy, fairy lights and candles gave it a wonderful warm glow. All the staff were friendly and attentive. My glass was always topped up, I was made to feel incredibly welcome, and the atmosphere was just right. The food was PERFECT. The bread and olives were divine - I could have easily filled up on them. The linguine with clams was rich and delicious, with a generous amount of garlic and just the right little kick of chilli. Make sure you save room for dessert - the tiramisu was divine. I’m so sp glad I stopped by on a whim, and I will definitely be back again!

Andre Prince Sabiib was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food was outstanding and the service from Sundus was genuinely warm and welcoming. She made us feel looked after without it ever feeling forced. We had the platter for two and it was superb. The meat was exceptional, beautifully tender and full of flavour. Every element on the platter impressed us. The hummus was smooth and rich, the oodkac packed with flavour, the meat sambus crisp and satisfying, the bajiyo light and well seasoned, and the bariis isku karis absolutely spot on. The chicken mango ansalaato was a real highlight. Fresh, vibrant and perfectly balanced, it cut through the richness of the platter brilliantly. Portion sizes were very generous. We were genuinely full by the end and only just managed to consider dessert. A brilliant meal with excellent service. We will definitely be back.

K Cox Amazing food! Amazing atmosphere and second to none service from the amazing Chef Ali and the wonderful Gareth and Maria who made sure we had everything we needed! Thank you so much. C & G

T Mohammad Visited Karak Chai in Hounslow under the new management and the experience was outstanding. The ambience is absolutely extraordinary — warm, cosy, and instantly gives you that familiar, owning feeling as soon as you step in. The décor is beautiful, the environment spotless, and the hospitality is truly top-class. The tea itself is exceptional, rich in flavour and easily one of the best karak teas I’ve had in London. Everything feels upgraded — from the service to the taste — making it a perfect spot for anyone who loves great chai in a premium setting. Highly recommended!!!

Regina Tilezhinskaia Lovely dinner for 2. Good prices and very tasty food. Portions arent big but filling. Lovely to have a rose and candle on the table. We got let in with no reservation. The atmosphere is lively but not quiet. Lamb dishes are great.

Sutapa B A beautiful Cafe in the heart of Belsize Village which is extremely popular with the locals. Finding a seat inside during the weekends is a struggle given their popularity. Their bagels and pastries are much sought after. Coffee is great too. Staff are friendly and the toilet is clean. They also sell their own groceries. There are seating outside too. Definitely recommend for brunch or afternoon coffee with pastries.
