Al-Dhiyafa in City of London, Westminster - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

May God make him happy that Abu Hussein did not fall short with us and the restaurant is beyond imagination

The service is fast, the staff are nice, the food is delicious, and the place is considered okay compared to Arab Street.

They have great Iraqi tea, but shawarma was normal. Recommend tea!!

Biryani is so good love coming here

Really good shawarma, hummus is very good. Friendly owner.

God willing, may God complete their livelihood, care and care for the customers, but I wish there was a way to reduce the smell of meat in the place, it was annoying to me, but the food is similar to our taste 😋🇸🇦

The waitor was polite and helpful; he was well aware of my worries (my mum and I were running late catching our train, as well as feeling extremely tired) so he tried his best to make it quickly and perfectly. The chicken shawarma tasted great. Traditionally made like Lebanon, Iraq or other Levantine countries. Not like the ones in a kebab shop where the wraps are just regularly made with British ingredients Would definitely visit here whenever I am around the Arabic neighbourhood of Edgware Road! As a chicken shawarma fan, I finally got to eat a traditionally made one.

The atmosphere of the restaurant needs improvement in all aspects Food (meat shawarma - falafel - kebab) honors the blessing, eating in a valley and the name of the food in a valley The restaurant kitchen is next to the bathroom In all aspects the restaurant is bad The employees are relatively average and the employees are all rude

Great place for a relaxing shisha

Takeaway order, you might as well put 1kg salt in my orange juice, considering the fact that you put 100kg salt in every aspect of the food. Awful, absolutely awful. I had 3 litre water after eating from this place and I'm still spitting. Avoid even if they offer you for free.

A great time with the family, the food is good and the staff took very good care of us. The restaurant lives up to its name everything was perfect, I recommend thank you very much 🇩🇿

Zero customer service unfortunately. Whoever you talk to, the employee, becomes clear what matters. Eating and reading the Qur’an are not good. The restaurant management must take a fee to quickly improve the restaurant. You are on Ahwar Road

An oriental restaurant in the middle of London with a very reasonable price

Excellent, and it is better for those who have elderly families

Where to start with this restaurant… Edgware road is plagued with overpriced Middle Eastern food places that offer the same bland variety of dishes with cold service at best. Al-Dhiyafa remains a gem amongst the overhyped and overpriced rocks which offers incredibly humble service and prices for food that is delicious and generous portions-wise. Service is incredibly quick and considering the amount of food ordered I believe a 5-10 minute wait is somewhere you will rarely, if not, never find in London. The chicken shawarma is a staple that was enjoyed thoroughly. Whilst waiting you are also provided with a complimentary dip made up of greens, chili and olive oil which I assumed to be tabbouleh with pickled vegetables. A sweet chili sauce is already provided on the table and our fries were accompanied by a whole bottle of ketchup and mayonnaise each. I ordered the gouzi which is a lamb shank and this came with a large portion of white rice on one side of the plate and vermicelli rice on the other. You also had the choice of choosing a bean, vegetable or potato based stew to accompany the gouzi dish and I chose the potato choice. The meal did not become as heavy as I’d experienced in other restaurants and I was able to happily finish most of it. It was full of flavour and just the right amount of spices which made the meal a delight throughout the dining experience. The meal was finished off with two diet cokes with which we were also given straws. I will definitely return to try more varieties of their dishes and desserts, Al-Dhiyafa truly impressed me and I wish them a successful business. Thank you for the great food and service!

Great little place with a relaxed feel and fantastic fresh juices

Yes, I am very happy with the service there. THANKS

Friendly staff offering delicious food

Dated backyard cafe, shakshuka was scrambled egg with chopped tomatoes. Shawarma was decent but greasy, no chips - which was shocking. Keep walking further down edgeware rd, you'll find better places to eat. Mango smoothie is cheap tinned mango pulp served in a tall chipped glass.

Qasr Al Diyafah Restaurant said, “It should have been called the Palace of Fraud and Scams.” It is worse than this restaurant. There is no restaurant in all parts of the world. No food, no hookahs, no food or color. This is the first time I comment on restaurant food, but the dry and harsh treatment prompted me to comment so that no one would be fooled like me. Seriously, if you want to lose your temper and throw away your money. Go to this restaurant. May God bless your faces.

كان بالاجدر تسميته قصر النصب والاحتيال وليس قصر الضيافة. اسوء مطعم بكل أنحاء المملكة المتحدة دخلنا نشرب اركيلة حالنا اركيلة من العصر الحجري لا طعمة ولا لون وطلب 20 باوند والاضرب من هيك معاملة سفت نفسية ولا احقر من هيك.

Customer service needs revisiting

Very surprised to see all the bad reviews. I ordered greek salad, tabouleh, fatoush, beef kebab and shish touq. We absolutely loved it. The salads were amazing. My mum doesn't eat beef and she liked the kebab. I don't eat chicken and I liked the shish touq. Waiting time was good. Service wasn't amazing or anything but they were helpful enough and we had no problems whatsoever. The environment could've been a little better since it looks like it had cheaper prices. Overall a great experience.

After 2 bites pit in the bin on the street outside , avoid like covid please 🙏

تدخين والاكل وسط كتقييم . الأفضل زياره المكان انا بصراحه ما عجبني بس يمكن يعجب غيري.. دايم خلي تقييمك للأكل وتطلعاتك تكون عاليه لان البطن يحتاج اختيارات دقيقه. بالعافيه مقدما

Run... fuyez Service 0 Repas infecte l'agneau au secours Franchement je vous le déconseille

If they give a chicken soup and you thought it is free. Just refuse otherwise they will charge you for that

افضل مقهي شيشه وسعر شيشه15 باوند وكل رخيص وصاحب مقهى متعاون انصح زياره

Bad food with worst customer service. Wish i had read their reviews before choosing to eat in there. Not surprised at all that how many people had the same awful experience here. Truly shameful.

After having a disgraceful treatment by staff and awful food the staff even had courage to yell at us with 3 year old daughter which left in her pieces. Absolutely Shamblic behavior and immensely disrespectful. Worst ever food experience of our lives.

DISGUSTING - DISGRACEFUL - APPALLING - STAY AWAY The most disgusting food experience of my life by far. Food was appalling, food was served with no sauces , when asked the owner was dismissive and came across as Drama King . Table next to us had exactly the ISSUE and were treated even worse. When i went to pay despite the experience the ill mannered staff started yelling at us to leave the shop , that was Infront of my 3 years old daughter and wife, daughter ended up being horrified. An absolute disgrace to food business and Arab culture. SHAME ON YOU lot to even call this place a business.

Over priced and service terrible

Find hair in my food, all staf are unfriendly 😖

Amazing shawarma with good service!

Very good taste, delicious. Staff need to be a little more friendly.

One of the worst restaurants I’ve ever been too. Food isn’t fresh at all. They just heat it up and serve it - you can taste that it’s old. Best word to describe it is probably repulsive. They are pricey so you would expect high quality food not old reheated food. To top this off their service is very bad. It took them for ever to take the order and bring this tasteless food despite the restaurant being empty with only another two tables of customers. Very appalling!!!

Very bad food and service..never ever again

Food was ok. Service was good but food was quite bland.

Nice halal food Tea is really good Friendly staff

Very well made, we got charcoal grilled fish and pacha, we didn't know the fish would have sauce on it which we don't prefer, and there was too much spices in the pacha, and the soup, maybe using less spices or at least use large sizes that can be removed before serving the food. Otherwise, all was good

الاكل لابأس فية وأسعارهم مرتفعة والشاي سعر خيالي صاحب المحل الشايب اخلاقه طيبة والعاملين هناك طيبين والاجواء جيدة وشعارهم الحياة تجارب 😂

Really good food at a good price

Below average restaurant. They didn’t bother to make falafel 🧆 instead the warmed it 😏 shakshoka wasn’t shakshoka but something else! Yet, not very cheap.

Really enjoy this place, friendly staff and fresh food.

Kanafah is super duper yummy and its the only thing i have gotten

Decent kabab, average shawarma, requested tap water but got bottled water that we had to pay for; did not even get cups with them. Bathrooms were not clean and unusable. You should be able to find better Middle East cuisine elsewhere

رائع من كل النواحي الاكل والسعر والنظافه

Staff was pretty rude, didn't stay for long.

These guys have the best kunafah that’s at a reasonable price

مطعم اسعاره رخيصه واكله طيب يستاهل الزياره

La nourriture était délicieuse mais le shawarma de ma maman était petite pour presque 8£ ce qui est cher… C’est propre. La seule chose qui doit être changé c’est de mettre à jour les cartes du menus pour ne pas avoir de mauvaise surprise..

One of the best kebab I had in London!

Had 3 mix Shawarha, really pathetic food, waste of money:

No quality no freshness no taste. Behaviour was also not welcoming . Walk left or right you will find better options. Behaviour of staff was rude . Not recommended

They dont use gloves while making the shawarma. They also dont have good salads with the shawarma.

Good food but got my order wrong. Couldn’t rectify, and I’m stuck with no refund from Uber and no food. It’s a shame they couldn’t make this right.

Nice and delicious food اكل طيب ومعاملة حلوة وسيرفس جيد واسعار رخيصة

طلبنا ساندويتش شوارما، مدة الأنتظار كانت طويلة جدا

Party of 8. Majority ordered Lamb Shwarma which was absolutely disgusting. We have never tasted lamb which tasted like tissue paper, light and fluffy with absolutely no taste and no flavour. Service was forced and unpleasant. One of the worst restaurants on Edgeware Road!!!!

Very good chicken shawarma wraps and chips and the juice was also very good.

Went for a quick snack. Got a lamb shawarma wrap, flavours were pretty good and the man serving was polite. For the price it was good as a casual lunch

For arabs who know the real taste of the Arabian cuisine will know that this place is tricking them. Even the karak chai is not taken seriously and not done well. I tried 3 different things , to make sure I’m not judging them wrong, but no, they don’t know at all how to perfect the Arabic cuisine. So if you’re an Arab tourist who came to edgwar missing the taste of the Arabian flavour and taught that this is the place for it, then it is really not. Instead try going to Albalad Lebanese restaurant in the head of edgware road, it’s the real one.

Got the mixed grill very tasty, all freshly grilled over coals so you get the flavour. You can sit in and out if you want and always seems to be people there hanging out.

Great food, decent prices and good owners and staff.

الاكل لذيذ والاخلاق عاليه اسال الله ان يفتح لهم ابوا رزقه طلبت شيش طاووق وحمص وعصير برتقال والشايب اخلاقه طيبة وكل الموظفين

Nice middle eastern food in London at good price and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in trying different food. I loved their special salad and Qouzi.

Good place to eat best food and best prices . tradition food.

Delicious food, good service, friendly staff and very cosy restaurant

The fresh blended juice was nice and the food aswell. They should have a separate area for people who don't want to smell the shisha smoke while eating. M

Authentic Iraqi food. I love the vibe

مطعم لذييييذ واكله نظيف انحكم بالقوزي لحم

Small portions, slow service, will avoid this place for better iraqi restaurants

My friends and I were feeling hungry and wanted to eat some good Lebanese food. We saw the reviews online and thought this place is exactly what we're looking for!.. Not long after setting our foot in the door did we realize we made a mistake. The food was disgusting and that's me being polite. The lamb was undercooked, the hummus watery, the garlic mayonnaise was plain mayonnaise squeezed from a helmans jar, the bread was dry and they didn't even have the decency to give us real Heinz ketchup. We had to make use of the smart asda price ketchup! The manager himself was also rude and arrogant. We politely explained that we didn't enjoy the good nor did we eat it. All he had to say was you ordered, you pay! The chicken tasted like it was a week old, the toilets were soiled. Never again will I come back. Unless it's to get my money back as the manager didnt even have the care to discount our bill. Oh but there was one nice waiter! Felt bad for him, at least he said sorry to us! WARNING: DON'T GO TO THIS RESTAURANT.

مطعم رائع وتعامل الموظفين راقي الاكل لذيذ جداً من افضل المطاعم في لندن

اكل جميل جدا جدا والطاقم قمة في الاخلاق وحسن التعامل والسعر مناسب وكمية الاكل مناسبة
