Al Waha

Mary S. ( 50s, Female )

I have never had anything but an incredible meal at Al Waha. Favourite items: their silky, light hummous, the fattoush salad, the tabbouleh, and anything they do with courgettes or aubergines. It's the perfect place to go with my vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, and gluten-free friends, as the chefs have a complete range of freshly-prepared options, and always have a selection of items that will appeal to all the people in my party. You can make an entire meal just of the incredible starters — and they bake their own bread, so hot, fresh bread, light as air hummous, a bowl of fresh salad, some stuffed vine leaves, and I'm pretty much in heaven! (Of course, a piece of baklava won't be refused!) The service is attentive but not hovering, the restaurant itself is elegant but comfortable — like a chic Middle Eastern living room really. People come here to relax and enjoy, and to eat — this is not a loud or touristy restaurant, it's an elegant destination for those who truly love Middle Eastern, Arabic and Lebanese prepared at the highest level.
