Middle Eastern restaurants in London

  1. A

    Afghan Kitchen

    This minute two-floor eatery serves up some of Islington’s best-value and most interesting cuisine. It features traditional Afghan dishes such as qurma suhzi gosht (lamb cooked with spinach) and qurma e mahi (fish stew) alongside a generous vegetarian selection, including borani kado (pumpkin with yoghurt) and moong dall (lentil dhal). In the evenings, there is freshly baked bread to go with the dishes instead of rice.

  2. B

    Gallipoli

    The draw here is decent Middle Eastern dishes at reasonable prices (there’s a good selection of meze and a large range of kebabs). The drawback is the crowds (unbearable on a Friday and Saturday night, when birthday parties take over the place) and the very loud music.

  3. C

    Jakob’s

    This charismatic Armenian-owned restaurant serves delicious and wholesome (and sometimes organic) salads, vegetarian lasagne, filo pie, falafel and kebabs that you choose at the counter– after having laid claim to a table in the back. A plate of three/four choices is £7/10. Desserts are very good.

    Hummus Bros

    The deal at this very popular minichain is a bowl of filling hummus with your choice of topping (beef, chicken, chickpeas etc) eaten with warm pita bread.
