The Foundry Collective - (Near Camden, london)

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.

Monawer AlAnazi What a nice restaurant atmosphere and delicious food away from the crowded areas of london. We started with Baba`s Tikka & Hummus , Prawn Crocket and Sourdough Naan & Mahyawa. The main courses were Mousakka, Bahraini Chicken Machbous, and Qurma Sabzi with some spicy sauces on the side. I can tell you, I’ve eaten one of the best Arabic food in London. It is a very nice blend between spices and quality of ingredients. Well done Villa Mamas and I really appreciate the experience and the vibe. Not to forget the staff who were really so lovely and do love what they are doing. Great and wonderful service.

Tivi Naves Local gem. Was meaning to give this restaurant a try for a while. It is now my go-to place for a takeaway or dine-in. The restaurant is located by belsize village, just a little bit to the side. There are enough sitting tables outside, as well as inside. The window fully opens, making it an open plan sitting space with fresh breeze. As you enter, staff welcome you with a smile. I also noticed a lot of people come in regularly, based on how they were welcomed. That is telling of a restaurant being welcoming and offering good quality dishes. We went for a shareable duck and watermelon salad, which came out fresh, with fresh and crispy herbs, fresh fruit and tender pieces of duck. The portion was very generous. For seconds we had sweet and sour prawns and pork belly with rice, both were superb. Very high quality food, very well prepared. The portions were generous, we even asked for the leftovers to be packed as it was enough food left for later. Overall, the menu offers a wide range of options to choose from. A mocktail was as well very generous and tasty. Drinks menu has a lot to offer. Very happy to find this gem. Will definitely be supporting this small local business in hopes they remain open and continue with this standard.

Amanda Kartikasari Every single menu we ordered were so delicious. Motabal baba ganoush and the Lebanese bread were light and tasty, fattoush salad was really fresh, seabass with rice and mixed grill with rice were the best we’ve ever had - perfectly grilled and consistently good. Their grilled chicken wings were so good - juicy inside and smokey outside. Everything has perfect texture and not too oily or fatty. Their dessert is top notch! The restaurant has a really nice ambience and would suit any occassion or any type of group. Chill and look nice but not daunting. Every staff is friendly and helpful. Would totally recommend to visit.

Rozan Rai The momos are tasty, khaja set is flavorful, and the portions are generous. Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere make it a great place to enjoy real Nepali flavors. Highly recommend!

Dylan Allman 5* experience for the first time visiting this café after a walk around the beautiful gardens and woods. The staff were super friendly and queue for food and drinks moved really quickly thanks to the efficient service. Especially grateful to the lovely member of staff for recognising it was my birthday and being so kind - really made my day! Highly recommend the cream tea which is also very reasonably priced. Hope to visit again soon.
