I really wanted to be the first to review this place as it's close to my heart, but Anne-Pierre beat me to it.. One of my favourite places for a quick lunch. The menu is Lebanese (v. tasty but watch out it can be slightly heavy on the stomach!), and the place makes delicious fresh fruit juices and energizers. It's small and cosy, and what I particularly love about it is its postcard collection, and most of all, its music (very tasteful and varied - from Nina Simone to Fairuz).

This is the best deal in town for fresh, tasty Middle-Eastern food on the go in Central London. The juices are all natural and prepared before your very eyes. It is great value for money. The staff is efficient, yet helpful. Love it.

This is a fantastic, friendly and very bargainous place. They do delicious made-to-order juices, tasty sandwiches (the ones on pitta bread are especially recommended) and best of all lots of mezze dishes - these cost around 3-4 quid for a large plateful and come with plenty of warm pitta bread and pickles. Two or three should feed 2 people easily. I have dreams about the wheat and lentil one which comes with fresh pomegranate seeds, as well as the mussaka (can't remember how to spell it but you get the idea) which is delicious. Also try the garlic spinach, baba ganoush, houmous and potatoes with peppers. Polish it off with mint tea and yummy sweet pastries.

Back when my boyf lived in W2 we used to eat here all the time (sigh). Now we make special trips to Bayswater just to go and eat at this place. It's really near Whiteleys so good before or after catching a film in the cinema there. Or just for whiling away a few hours with the weekend papers. They do takeaway too so you can even walk down to Hyde Park for a picnic.
