It’s a severe offence for this restaurant to an egyption. My wife booked this restaurant to for my first Father’s Day. My origins are Egyptians so I know what the Egyptian food is!!! This restaurant is not an Egyptian restaurant. Restaurant was empty, only us. Food is precooked and frozen. Really I wanted to walk out

Excellent service and very good food. Easy location. Lots of elbow room.

Good vibes. Loved the duck pate.

The service, food, and atmosphere was like none other! I very much enjoyed the entire experience . I am now hoping to travel all the way to Alexandria to enjoy food like this even more.

Attentive staff and delicious food. We were celebrating a birthday and they gave her a complimentary drink and dessert which made it that much more special. Would definitely return.

Lovely food ambience was not great as it was very quiet in January but could see it could be lovely, huge portions the chicken livers were to die for

Food was excellent...every dish we ordered was sublime...even the tasters sent by the chef...top notch... cannot fault this place and will definitely return. Only downside was the very dim lighting and pared down menu (would have liked to have seen a few more dishes, like in the Google Maps Photos), otherwise a very clean and quiet ambience.

Service was good Ambiance was good but pretty empty when we got there Food was okay but not very well seasoned. Everything was quite bland which was disappointing. I'll not be going back. The food just wasn't tasty.

This was an excellent dining experience. The atmosphere was lovely and the food superb.

Amazing Egyption food and warm hospitality. Every meal I had was excellent full of Egyption flavours thank you for your kind hospitality

Service was great but the food was not very tasty. It was bland and not very well seasoned.

Great ! Food was super however service was a bit slow at the beginning

Not an Egyptian restaurant. You could tell by the portions and the type of food that’s served here.

The food was great. The menu is somewhat limited with regards to variety of options but everything we had was very nice with great service. I hope they stay in business since we were the only customer on Sunday evening. Maybe being off season?!

First experience of Egyptian food, so many flavours ! Loved the chicken livers .

Great good. Great service. Plenty of vegan options and a lovely wine selection!

Very pleasant dinner in a cosy restaurant in Kensington. The food was good but not incredible. The staff were nice but not incredible and definitely not Egyptian. The atmosphere was very cosy and romantic but it was also empty on a Saturday night so seems like it’s not too popular of a place. We enjoyed the food but were hoping for more Egyptian specialities that would strike us as different. Most of the menu offered things you would find elsewhere. We paid 72£ for two starters and two mains which seemed reasonable given the location. I’d recommend the baked okra which was delicious.

Fab service and really friendly staff, good looked good but taste wise it while it started pleasantly enough each dish tasted similar to the last so rather than a harmony of flavours changing to make music a one note drone drowned out the others. Not what you want with a testing menu. Hopefully just the chef having a bad day

Well cooked food in a very convivial atmosphere. Lisa our server was a delight. Really helpful and attentive.

Lisa, the waitress was amazing! We loved her! She had had lots of cancellations because of the weather and still gave us amazing service and made us feel so welcome

My favourite restaurant in London. This time we had flatbread with hummus and babaghanous dips, tiger prawns, molokhia soup, seabass for two and a selection of delicious desserts (muhalebiya, bakhlava with ice cream and Oum Ali) and everything was perfect. Waitress was friendly and attentive. The wine was absolutely excellent, and the dessert wine (Tokai) especially recommended. A sublime interpretation of Middle Eastern cuisine. Beautiful decor and an intimate atmosphere. Everyone should try it.

Food, service, everything was lovely! Lisa made wonderful recommendations, as well.

We had lovely service and tasty food, we went early in the evening when the restaurant was quieter

Fantastic and delicious food! Amazing value for money.

Walked in Alexandrie after the restaurant across the street where we were planning to dine was having a private party. We were hesitant because the place was empty however Alexandrie did not disappoint. The Tiger King Prawns were perfectly presented as were all plates and were delicious. I had the Molokheya with Chicken and the wife had the Traditional Oven Baked Okra (Bamia) with Lamb. Both very tasty. We weren’t planning on having dessert however the server requested we try their Mango Parfait; I’m a chocoholic, however this dessert was on point. Thanks Alexandrie! This was a great way for us to end our trip to London. John - South Carolina

Amazing food Excellent service Friendly staff Thank you

They didn't have the green soup, lamb shanks or chicken when we went here. The waiter was friendly and polite but was unable to offer alternatives, although the free hummus and babaganoush dips with some flatbread were welcome after the initial disappointment. The food was tasty, however the options were limited, even if all options were available. It also feels like this place might be better for takeout than going in for a meal as there was noone around, however 5 minutes down the road on High St. Ken, places were packed... not sure how long this place will be here if this is a typical experience, tbh.

The one star is for the waitress who did an excellent job. The food was bland, some dishes inedible, and by no stretch of the imagination ‘Egyptian’

Excellent food. Knowledgable staff. Definitely recommend.

The service was impeccable, the food was delicious - would definitely recommend!

Food and service were excellent. We were there on a quiet night which was perfect for us after running around and enjoying London for multiple days.

Really good surprise, food was tasty with bags of flavour, presentation was nice and the service with Sammy was absolutely perfect.

Worth visiting. Try the taster menu So annoying top table insists on 59 chars.

Went there for lunch on a sunday, food was alright but took so long to come out, we were waiting almost 30mins plus

The food was extraordinary with generous portions and unique tastes. Sammy was very friendly and informative. We had one of our best meals in the year.

The best restaurant I went to during my trip to London. Everything perfect! From the service to the food! My boyfriend and I shared a lamb which quietly satiated both of us (we just ordered an extra mashed potato) Magnificent restaurant

Total date night surprise. We ordered the set menu and were blown away. Highly, highly reccomended. Our server Sammi was wonderful and really made us feel welcome. We will be returning.

Food was amazing and so was the service. Everything was perfect.

Last night dinner was great! The food was amazing, especially the lamb chunks. Credits to the chef and the service was great too, catering the children’s need as well. We were well looked after. Thank you

Very good food and excellent service. Will definitely go again.

Wonderful service and fantastic food.

Very nice restaurant. Food and wine were great. Waitress was very attentive and helpful, ensuring food was tailored to my allergy needs, my thanks for this. Very intimate setting and lovely deco

I can’t praise this place enough, an excellent evening, good service and fantastic food

Food was delicious and very well presented. Staff were also helpful with their recommendations. Very nice to try a different type of cuisine

It was a wonderful evening. Place is quiet and very convenient for a conversation. They serve a high quality food and very friendly and attentive staff.

Helpful and Nice staff; but overrated performanc e

Great restaurant and great staff. Went to celebrate our 6th anniversary and when I booked, I simply asked in a note if they were doing anything special for such occasion. We were greatly welcomed with 2 glass of Prosseco and had a chocolate fondant offered by the restaurant at the end of our dinner. I definitely recommand and will go back there :)

A true GEM in the heart of London. Every time I visit London, Alexandrie tops my list of outings. Be it for lunch or dinner, the QUALITY of food and SUPERB service go hand-in-hand unwaveringly. I STRONGLY recommend it for everyone who wants to try a different and excellent cuisine.

Absolutely amazing ! Our booking was for 2 people however ended up being for 3 but the staff were very accommodating & helpful & understanding. They managed to get us a table within no time. All the staff are so nice, polite & really go out of their way to make the best possible experience. They really do deserve the praise. The food was brilliant ! Everything tasted great & the service was very prompt. Staff were always asking to refill our drinks & ensuring that we were ok ! The restaurant itself is so beautiful & classy, I’m really happy I booked this restaurant for my birthday. I will definitely be coming back again. The staff even gave us a free dessert at the end of our dinner as it was my birthday. The whole ambience of the restaurant was eloquent & stylish & I can’t praise it enough. Thank you to all staff for an amazing evening !

Enjoyed my first dive into Egyptian cuisine

Family reunion meal, it was perfect! Fusion of Egyptian and European food, very good!

Excellent food and fantastic service, highly recommended!

Absolutely amazing place. Beautiful, quiet, peaceful and delicious food. Staff are incredibly helpful and kind, Alexandrie has a really positive ambience and the food is amazing both in terms of taste, quality and price. Could not recommend highly enough.

The food, atmosphere, cleanliness and attention to detail is incredible at Alexandrie. The waitress was incredible and gave us really great recommendations. My friend and I had never eaten Egyptian food before and it was delicious. I had a perfect evening and really could not rate this restaurant highly enough.

We loved every thing about this restaurant Especially the food It was excellent on every possible point We have already reccomended it and will certainly return

Best Egyption meal I have had and I was born in Egypt Amazing food and wonderful service I don’t know how they can make money on such a small number of tables. Main floor is only 8 tables, very intimate and staff make it a very special time. Loved the meal

We visited Alexandrie as part of a round the world experience. Enjoyable dinner with friends. Tasty food, offering an authentic Egyptian options. Brilliant service.

Friendly welcome, dishes I’ve never heard of and very tasty. I enjoyed this place.

Lovely tasty meal - good ambience

Graduation meal. Food fantastic. The staff were wonderful and explained the menu with excitement and passion . At the end they brought out a little chocolate fondant cake with a congratulations message written in chocolate sauce. Unexpected but really made my daughter feel extra special! Whole experience was truly memorable. Thank so much.

very good :) will come back and try the other dishes. :)

Absolute gem. All of the dishes were fantastic. The service was top notch. Highly recommend.

Service was very good.. waitress is very good and speaks well with customers makes you feel welcome

A gem of a place. Amazing service and delicious food. All the dishes we had were spot on. Casia was especially attentive and went out of her way to make the evening special, thank you for and making the whole experience a great one. We will definitely be back!

It was delightful. Quiet but that meant staff were very attentive and food was delicious.

We had a wonderful meal here, complete with birthday decorations and balloons thoughtfully organised by the restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding. Our server was knowledgeable, friendly and did her most to make sure we were happy. We will definitely return!

A real gem with excellent food and service. The lamb shank is their most popular dish, for good reason. The tasting menu is unbeatable value.

The personal service provided by the staff was 5 star. The food and wine pairing was fantastic.

It was like a dream. We enjoyed truly hearty meal here. For me it has the perfect balance of rich flavour and subtleness, served with the real spirit of hospitality. Loved the gentle taste of their Mulukhiyah soup. One of the best dining experiences.

My family took my brother and his new wife the day after the wedding. Tried a variety of food that was amazingly spiced and prepared. Very special thanks to the waitress who handled being solo incredibly well with patience and care about both us and the food. Made us feel very appreciated!

Excellebt food, and service was outstanding. Some of menu not available, but we will be back for lamb shank another time!

Lovely unique food, service very attentive, interesting menu and nicely done out restaurant

Alexandrie is perfect a light dinner before Opera Holland Park. The Egyptian food and great wine is ideal. Highly recommended.

Food was great but it was our waitress Kasia who made the evening truly memorable. Thank you

We chose the modern tasting menu. Every dish was done with finesse and great balance of spice, brilliant cooking indeed. Our favourite was the lamb and the parfait + Egyptian pannacotta. On top of the food, what made the evening truly special was the presence of Kasia, the amazing host + waitress. She is so passionate and knowledgeable. She exudes warmth and energy and made sure all the diners were tended to. It really makes a difference when staff are enthusiastic about the food and you can see she wanted every diner to have a great experience. Thank you so much, we really enjoyed the food and the company.

Very authentic Egyptian food prepared and served with style. We

👍 👌 amazing service and food lovely waitress Casia made the night!x

You need two things to be a good resturant, interesting, well cooked food and a good "front of house". At Alexandrie the food was perfect and in Kasia (apologies if I have spelt it wrong) they have a great front of house. We felt very welcome and special all evening. Thank you. Would highly recommend

Really lovely restaurant with very attentive staff. We were the only customers there though so no real atmosphere. Real shame as the food was lovely. Really appreciated the extra mile the staff went for my birthday. Thank you!

I was greeted by Kasia the front house manager with such warmth. Pleasant atmosphere, superbly balanced and splendid timing. I have a new favourite and top of my personal list for all occasions. I will return very very soon.

Food was excellent - I loved the mix of Egyptian and French cuisines. I highly recommend the molokheya and the bamia dishes. More importantly though, the service was AMAZING because of Kasia. She was very sweet, went out of her way to put up balloons and decorations for my friend’s birthday, and even brought her a cake with candles. I don’t remember the last time I had such good service. Can’t thank her enough for how sweet she was! In summary, the food was great, the service was even better, and I will definitely go back very soon.

Amazing flavor, fantastic ambience. And lovely staff. This is an experience worth having!

Nice decor, fantastic service and real Egyptian food.

Service was excellent-Kasha was delightful. The mullokheyya was very well done, as was the baked Bamia, and we enjoyed the fois gras (ethically grown), the fatta, and feta salad, and Mehalabeyya. Everything was lovely. Thank you for looking after us. 🙏🏼

Gorgeous food , lovely setting , great service by waitress.

Very tasty and unique traditional food! Slow-cooked lamb was excellent. The waitress was amazing, gave good recommendations and described what we can expect. Would come back anytime!

Great food and service. A hidden treasure just away from the showy places on the High Street.

Shortened menu as just opened up, but enough choice for a few visits, my ratatouille with halloumi, was wonderful, and the seabass in Egyptian spices was stunning. My husband has chicken livers for starter and okra and lamb for his mains, no complaints from him either. The front of house staff , was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. Decor a bit stark, due to covid restrictions, but the lighting was wonderful. Would definitely recommend and if back in the area would go back for koee

Just last summer, my brother made the fortuitous discovery of this fantastic Egyptian eating emporium in our neighbourhood. Egyptian food? In London? This was a first for us and I was eager to test it out after a resoundingly positive experience from my brother, who only popped in to find out more about the cuisine and the menu out of curiosity; yet the warm and welcoming staff offered him a few samples to test out and take home and he loved what he tried. Shortly after, he went back for dinner and tasted a selection from their a la carte menu and, waxing lyrical about everything he ate, he said I would love the food too. Being a VERY (!) picky vegan, this was all the endorsement I needed and proposed the restaurant to a couple of friends to try out, as clearly this is something of a hidden gem as none of the friends I mentioned Alexandrie to (who also live in the near vicinity) knew it. I was MORE than impressed - the restaurant, besides being an elegant, minimalist-chic dining room with signature chandeliers graced by attentive and genial table service, offered a vegan menu! This was a very promising start, but I initially had no idea what to expect food-wise. My brother said go for the soups and the okra dishes and, of course, I tried all three (with a couple of menu amendments and lovely Kacha, the waitress on hand to help, was only too happy to accommodate my "no croutons" and "no pitta bread" requests respectively, for example): the 'Red Lentil Velouté' is, indeed, "full-bodied", as the menu described, and oh-so-flavoursome and I am a HUGE fan of lentils and lentil soups anyway (I can't get enough of Indian dal), so this was a winner. Next up, I simply had to try something uniquely Egyptian, so I was recommended the famous herb soup, 'Molokheya', for size. I loved the consistency - which had a glassy appearance and filled to the brim with healthy greens, and what I particularly loved, apart from the earthy herb flavours, was the fact neither of their soups are oily at all, which can be a problem with other cuisines. It was all healthy, light yummy dishes, which appeal to my clean-living tastes. Finally, the delicious okra dish, 'Bamia', Oven-Baked Okra - a vegetable stew with a coriander sauce was my main course - I love okra as a vegetable, but I find that my other favourite cuisine, Indian Asian cooking, usually prepares these yummy "ladies fingers" vegetables in too greasy and oily a manner, as they're normally fried. Not so with the Egyptian/Middle Eastern Asian-style where these are slow cooked to perfection. Even if you are not a vegan or vegetarian, you will find plenty of meaty surprises for you to enjoy on the menu (I had no idea that foie gras was first invented by the Egyptians over 2000 years ago, but I am so encouraged to read that the Alexandrie restaurant elect to utilise duck liver that has NOT been forcibly fattened - let's hope one day a vegan-friendly version is all the rage!) I cannot wait for Alexandrie to reopen next month, after this unnecessarily-long and economically-devastating lockdown, and to see Kacha and the team again. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Looking forward to enjoying these Egyptian culinary treasures with the whole family!

The restaurant is small but very well decorated and staff are very friendly. The food was presented very nicely and cooked to perfection. Some small changes in the way of cooking would make it the food more traditional Egyptian such as providing the traditional tomatoes and garlic sauce with the Fata. Perhaps also adding foul and Tamia (Egyptian favs beans and falafel) to the menu?

We ordered traditional tasting menu and except desserts, food was very delicious. Portions were good. HOWEVER, I wouldn't go back because the male staff will talk to every single person in the restaurant, non-stop and extremely loudly. This was very annoying as we went there after a long day to relax and enjoy our meals. It is also weird the loudest person in the restaurant was a member of staff.

Delicious food, interesting choices. Complimentary mezze, delicious humus and baba ganoush. Staff knew their menu well. Good choice of wine. Very relaxed. Quiet, we were only people there, but only just reopened and impacted by tier 2 restrictions. Do go and try it, a great evening out. .

Had a great time, dinner & experience at this beautiful - Egyptian cuisine - restaurant👌🏼 The Fois Parfait was exquisite, the Lamb was so tender and the Baklava was light, fluffy and spot on. Not to mention the great service. It’s definitely a must go-to restaurant.

Amazing place and super delicious food we had great time i loved the food and everything

DELICIOUS! Simply delicious food, a must try especially if you haven’t tasted Egyptian food before

Super delicious! We had a fantastic experience of Egyptian food after Alexandrie reopened. For starters, we had Alexandrian liver which was fried with green peppers, Mediterranean ratatouille and Tiger king prawns served with a delicious sauce. For mains, we had bamia (oven-baked baby okra), stuffed courgette, lamb shank, and sea bass fillet. The okra, which was served with warm pitta bread, was tender and absorbed the sauce well. The courgette was stuffed with spiced rice, which was slightly al dente, and accompanied with spiced yogurt. The lamb shank, which was marinated in spices and served with mash potatoes, was very tender and the sauce was delicious. The sea bass was pan-fried, had crispy skin and was served with cauliflower puree and two thin slices of citrus fruits which complimented the fish. We were recommended to have fatta (baked riced with fried bread with a slight kick of garlic in the bottom) which also went very well with the okra and lamb shank as the rice and fried bread absorbed the sauces. For the desserts, we had Om Ali which was warm and creamy with a lot of baked almond flakes, handmade pistachio baklava (not sickly sweet as you normally get) with pistachio ice cream on the side and dark chocolate fondant. A cup of hibiscus tea finalized our perfect evening at Alexandrie. The staff were attentive, but not intrusive, and made suggestions for the wine based on the main dishes we ordered. It was an enjoyable and relaxing experience of going to restaurant in London after a long time. You should have booked a table by now, especially you have read my lengthy description.
