Abu Zaad in Hammersmith and Fulham

Amazing food! Polite staff! They gave me a dessert for free 🤩 Very nice gift Will be coming back very soon

I went to today for lunch but unfortunately very Poor customer service. I wasn't expecting that. I seat on table no body came to me to ask me what would you like or give me at least the menu nothing I was waiting 30 min by myself no body came to me and the lady how working there she was next to me but she doesn't care she was just talking arabic next to us which is rude we don't understand nothing. anyway never again go there

Gorgeous food and huge portions. Lamb absolutely perfectly cooked so it just slides off the bone.

Incredible food! Fantastic service and a real joy to eat here!!! A must try in! You won’t be disappointed!

We had half a lamb for a group of 9. Excellent food and welcoming staff.

Unsolicited emails without the possibility to unsubscribe. So infuriating.

Excellent food! The staff was top-notch, very kind, and professional. May the business and the people who work here stay strong and prosperous. 🙏👍👏💯

Very tasty food, fast and pleasant service, reasonable prices, not forced tips, would definitely go again

What ever you do don't buy the half lamb meal it's a bump just buy meals instead of that.

Siamo stati qualche giorno fa. Qualità buona, personale ok, prezzo molto buono. Ci tornerei forse una volta e lo consiglierei a chi si trova nelle vicinanze.

Delicious food served in a great place by very friendly staff. Going back there again ... once I get over this "stuffed to the gills" feeling.

Excellent food and a very good price. AND they often give you a dessert for free.

The friendly staff enhances the visit, making it a must-try for anyone craving flavorful cuisine. Highly recommended!

Came here so many times now and bought friends and Family! Amazing food, lovely atmosphere and service. Hamza has been great! Thank you!

Nice place to enjoy middle east flavor

Reasonable prices, great service and delicious food! So generous.

Worse food ever wouldn’t even rate it a one. Rice full of water no flavour disgusting spring rolls full of lemon and sumac no chicken. Lamb and rice no flavour horrible place.

Worse than 1 star chicken spring rolls taste like lemon spring rolls no chicken. Lamb with rice dry as Sahara no flavour horrible food waste of 38 quid never going there again!!!

Having been one of my favourite places to eat in London for the last 10years. However, since new management have taken over ( in the past 3 years) the quality of furniture plates and general cleanness has gone down. Food on the other hand stays 10/10 The fauraj abu zad ( boneless baby chicken is a must tru)

We had the whole lamb! We gathered a team of 9 and still couldn't finish all of it! wonderful experience :)

We've been to this place many times and we love it. It never deceives!

This place is 10 out of 10 good food well packed arrived on time so satisfied..I highly recommend this place .

Good food, generous portions, friendly service. Will definitely visit again.

As a Syrian who knows how delicious and flavoursome Syrian food is and is renowned in the world this restaurant to put it bluntly had zero representation of the heritage and culture it is supposed to represent. I can look past the look of the restaurant which is basic but the food was appalling. No flavour, tahini just added to everything in extreme quantities. The meat the essence of Syrian food was flavourless and dry. They have tried to be all things to all men by throwing in Moroccan food which has nothing to do with Syrian food. The restaurant is meant to be owned by a Syrian and representing Syrian food to be honest he should be ashamed of himself serving poor quality food like that and on top of that passing it off as Syrian. I suggest he re-visits his roots if he is in fact Syrian and start again. Also to all the food bloggers who have created videos there just because you get paid or get a free meal your job is to tell the truth to the public as they take your opinions on board. Sadly this restaurant is utter fake news!

Abou Zad is an absolute gem for anyone looking to experience authentic Syrian, Lebanese, and Moroccan cuisine. The rich flavors and attention to detail in every dish are remarkable, with fresh ingredients and traditional recipes that truly transport you to the heart of the Middle East. From the mezze to the mains, everything is bursting with taste and perfectly spiced. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the service is top-notch. Whether you're familiar with these cuisines or trying them for the first time, Abou Zad is a must-visit for a memorable dining experience!

Mandi Chicken the best here, super soooffttt tender chicken, full of flavours, everyone should try here! Hamza is friendly and kind too. Price is reasonable. Big portion of the food. Great comfort food. Mandi chicken, shawarma chicken. Amazing! Khunafa dessert is the best, they gave free tea.

Brilliant and won’t disappoint, the food was amazing and can really recommend. We Will definitely come again.

The wife and I love going to this place, and we always go for the same meal. We even took the family on Eid days and the New Years Eve.

Well after hype I decided to give it a shot and here is my honest review. Place call itself fine dining and their is really nothing fine infact below mediocre, food is really really bad no flavour at all whatsoever we ordered different dishes to make sure we test more, so mandi rice was like basic fried rice and not authentic at all. Nothing authentic it’s just blank and no taste at all! Like zero star for food. Let’s go to service now, coincidentally to add to my huge disappointment our mix grilled platter went to table next to us and it sat their in front of the guy for 7-8 min before they could even come and take it back and guess what they didn’t have the audacity to take it back and reheat it atleast just walked away with it for halfway to kitchen and got the same cold plate to us! What a shame. Please avoid if you are really looking authentic Syrian, Lebanese or Arabian food! The rice tasted like if you add salt and chili and fry it pathetic

Been to Abu Zaad after a long time. Still the same. Good food. Good price. Just that it's a Syrian restaurant and I couldn't find much of the Syrian cuisines here. The menu is a generic Arabic restaurant menu which you can easily find on Edgware too

The food is really good you should definitely get the couscous

Wonderful atmosphere and fantastic food if you like a traditional food you should try here

Hamza gave us good customer service. He ensured that everything was good and smooth. We enjoyed the food and everything was delicious and came warm and quick. We recommend this restaurant.

Highly recommend Abuzaad shepherd bush The food was so delicious my first ever Syrian restaurant and I have become a big fan of all the dishes I tried service was 10/10 ambiance was outclass there fresh juices and smoothies were so nice I would definitely love to visit them again and again Guys go and give it a try u will love the food I mentioned below what I eaten and also shared some beautiful pics from that evening Thank so much again Abuzaad

Hamza made us feel comfortable and welcomed us. He provided excellent customer service skills and recommended us dishes.

Best middle eastern food I have ever tried. All the foods we ordered are all 10/10. We ordered falafal, fatet houmous and chicken shawarma with rice and yes very special mango juice.

It wasn’t particularly tasty but it was cous cous and there’s nowhere in london that serves a good cous cous sadly.

Ordered lamb tajine with rice and a chicken wrap. Food was delicious. However the whole experience was let down by the cheap melamine serving dishes that its served in.

Ordered food with my family today and sat here for 25 minutes and nothing came out. As we walked out the bottle of water came and still no foods. Asked the man what happened and didn’t answer. So walked out so lost out of a big order.

Hamza was lovely from the start Great food topped with fantastic customer service.

I never received my order and no one to call or help what a joke

Amazing food and very good service

Fantastic experience, great food, would recommend

Really great service and good really enjoyed it here!!

The service was great, they're were very patient in our specific requests as we came as a group and even gave us a special service.

Amazing 🤩 I had the lamb kofta perfect portion super tasty

Food was good, well done and great portions. A-lot of options as well with great service and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend

Friendly service, clean, tasty food with good portion sizes :)

THis is a small space taht felt crowded on a Friday evening, with neighbouring chairs being bumped against you regularly The waiting staff were struggling to cope, though there were enough of them, food delivered but no plates, late delivery of certain dishes, repeated requests for drinks, no bread served with the straters etc. The food was mediocore. There are several excellent Damascene/ Lebanese within walking distance that do the standard dishes better Unispiring salads, tasteless fried haloumi, reasonable cheese rolls and an OK chicken tagine. The vegetable soup went down well Not a great experience

Poor service and food not upto the standard of other similar places nearby

Beautiful restaurant with very friendly staff and extremely generous portions.

Everything were delicious. The desert was quite a treat. The staff were welcoming. I would definitely recommend it.

You can eat authentic Syrian food. Not only is the food delicious, but the staff are very warm and kind, and the service is excellent. Dining in during the day from Monday to Thursday is 30% off. Recommended.

This was a great place with great staff, great food, and great service. Our food arrived in less than 5 minutes of ordering, and between 4 people we couldn’t get through 2 mains and 4 starters. I would highly recommend this place for anyone visiting somewhere in Ealing, or even locals. It is a great place and I would gladly come again.

Very expensive prices for a popular service. Is it possible for a 15-pound shawarma meal?

Chicken wasn’t fresh in shich Taouk very sad to see this restaurant quality went very bad

Food was very tasty and good portion size, friendly staff!

First time customer. Fabulous! GIANT portions. Quality cuisine. Lovely staff. I’m definitely returning.

The food is fantastic , big quantities and friendly staff.

Excellent food and service me and my family really enjoyed the food. We got especially good service from Najaat. Thank you very much.

We ordered two family grill platter. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The lamb kofta and lamb fillet was was absolutely delicious. The rice was light and not sticky.

V BAD CHICKEN SHAWERMA SANDWICH ITS FULL OF SKIN AND FAT OF CHICKEN!

Meat is dry, bread is old and tasteless. I dont know why this place has such good reviews. At least the rice was okay

Been going here for years and it never disappoints. Great food and really well priced … a rarity in London ! Huge portions too.

Amazing service by Wadea and Hamza. Very refreshing lemon and mint pure juice. Falafel really delicious with garlic sauce and place to pray and clean utility thank you so much will come again in sha Allah 😊

The spinach Fatayer were so sensational. I fell i love with them. The warak enab was the caned one but they really did try to make it look appealing so no complaints from me

Halal restaurant and delicious food.

I eat out every, as I don't like cooking. This days in london is very difficult to find a place where you can eat good food. I'm very picky, it's not easy to satisfy me ... One I find a good restaurant I often go there at least 2-3 times a week. This place is by fare THE best Syrian restaurant in town. Conveniently located just few minutes from Nothig Hill, excellent value for money ( portions usually so big I need to take away in the end ) , friendly staff , clean , not smelly , it's unusual to find place like this this days. My favorite dish is chicken shish tauk, but all food is amazing. To make my point , I hardly ever write any reviews, a specialy out of my own will. Great place. Thank you. See you next week.

It was the best but now it’s too bad , I was regular customer but now I never give them chance again

Such an amazing experience! We had the best meal at Abu Zaad, which is located opposite Shepherd’s Bush market station and there is a bus stop right in front of it for easy transportation. There were many vegan and vegetarian options, good service and reasonable prices. Once we sat at the table, they offered us complimentary olives and two types of sauces. All the meals arrived at different times and the portions were big. At the end they offered us a complimentary dessert which was fresh and matched perfectly with the whole meal. We will go back again, highly recommended! Thank you! 🙏🏻

Good meal but lamb Tajin was mostly bones very little meat? A bit disappointed. Last order had had definitely more meat. Please check the quality and quantity. Thank you.

Love this place! Really lovely food, fast service, reasonable prices. It can be a bit noisy, especially when they've got the TV running. 4 stars for service only, because they don't do delivery. (And I don't want to pay uber for Abu Zaad's services)

Welcomed with a big smile of their face. Place was very busy and the table they given to us we didn't like the location so they arrange another location. Once sat down the server attended us straight away and helped us decide what to order. Good ambiance and clean enviornment. Starter arrived within 15 minutes, well prepared and fresh. Main 20 mins after starters. We were served by Ahmed who was excellent and provided amazing service and a brilliant experience.

Best food ever ❤️❤️ Najat served us and she’s very sweet ! Definitely visiting again

Very generously served authentic n delicious Syrian food.Totally loved the desserts . Very rich flavoured.

It was our first time here at Abu Zaad, we loved it! Service was impeccable, we would like to thank Najet (who served us) for her kindness! The food got us speechless, absolutely delicious and flavourful! You’ve got to try the Kibbeh Shamia, these were the best ones I’ve ever had!! We’re used to eat Middle Eastern food but Abu Zara’s is now our top favourite one 🤌🏽🤌🏽

This is from Saudi Eats in London, with 60k+ followers across social platforms. Instagram & Tiktok: saudieats.ksa Most authentic Oldest Syrian cuisine in London. Amazed by their perfectly flavoured, succulent grill platter. 🤤 It reminded us of the quality food in the Middle East! Homely and beautiful decor and aesthetic, All the dishes were perfectly seasoned and cooked. They now have exclusive offer for 78.49£ grill platter for 4-5 persons, serving great portions 🤤😍 The platter includes; 4 pcs lamb ribs serves with rice and chips, 2 lamb koftas, 2 wings, 3 shish Tawouk, 2 lamb cubes, fried rolls, Halloumi, Hummous, Moutabel, Fattoush, Falafel. 🧆 🥗 Overall, great food and incredible ambience for a reasonable price 👍😍

The food was absolutely amazing and the people even better. As kind as could be. I will 100% bring my family back!!!

Excellent food and customer service

Such a lovely place, definitely will be going there again. The staff were lovely, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was nice.

Honestly the worst food I’ve had in a Middle Eastern restaurant. We’ve been to all the others on Uxbridge rd ,they are great . I ordered the Maklouba here and how very disappointing. The meat was so dry and tasteless. The rice had the same dull flavour along with the aubergine. It was all one dark brown colour and looked very unappetising. No other vegetables or herbs. I couldn’t finish it. Not like me at all. My husband’s wasn’t much better. The mint drink was nice the carrot and apple juice was warm and not refreshing at all. Service was polite and we didn’t have to wait long. But this was not enough to warrant a second visit.

One of my favourite places in the Shepherds Bush area. The atmosphere is always nice, and the staff are lovely. It’s child friendly so we come here with family quite a lot when we want hearty, tasty, filling soul food. The sharing platter is good, and the Knafeh is always on point (stretchy, soft, crispy on the outside, sweet but not too sweet).

Delicious, exceptional service and great value!

Great place to go when in a bigger group, the sharing platters are huge, tasty, and good value!

Really nice and friendly staff. The chicken mendi was really delicious. We also had the mixed grill, which was horrible.

I would like to share my experiences eating in Abu Zad several times. I always like to go there because it's cosy and welcoming. Staffs are always friendly and always advise me with my choices of food. My favourite food is the grilled lamb chops and Fatoush salad. The manager goes above and beyond. Thank you 👍I will be back soon 😊

Best restaurant in London. Eaten here several times (in person and takeaway) and it's always perfect. Generous portions and perfectly cooked chicken and lamb. Recommend the chicken special

Masha Allah good service with yosef and others

Good service yousuf is the best

Really lovely and calming place. The host staff are nice and welcoming, portions are big and well priced.

Very good fresh food very good price!

Lovely experience highly recommend great food and service and even gave us some dessert thanks!!

Nice starter of houmous and pitta. Mains were good but meat was overcooked.

Great food. Very abundant. The waitress, charming.

Really good Syrian food and great service

One of the best restaurants in Shepherds Bush. With less than 50£ they have a menu for two (dine in only) that includes mixed starters, sides, and multiple mains. The food is enough for 2 meals, and it is very good. The chicken shawarma is sometimes a bit dry, everything else is always delicious.

Hamza is fantastic host! The food here is amazing and such good value for money. Some of the best falafel I've had!
