Aziz

Combining a restaurant with an adjacent café/deli operation, Aziz brings welcome exotic flavours & aromas to pedestrian Fulham Broadway. Inside, the modern souk decor is colourful & cool, with a smoking wood-fired oven adding to the atmosphere. The menu focuses on eastern Mediterranean & North African cuisines, so the likes of Moroccan chicken tagine with preserved lemon & olives share space with aromatic char-grilled Persian chicken, lamb shish & mezze such as baba gannouj. Set menus offer satisfying value, & wines from the Lebanon or Morocco are highlights on the drinks list. Next door, the café/deli also provides alfresco dining & is worth investigating for its cakes alone. Aziz’s regular belly-dancing classes should help shake off some of the resulting weight gain.
