Aya in Merton

A bit bizarre, like sitting at a bus stop, but without the glamour. The food took quite a long time to come, and it was not bad. The staff were friendly enough, but spent most of the time shouting down the phone or at each other from about 1 a metre away. Some of the lights didn't work, or they couldn't work out how to switch them on. Buses at the stop outside blocked out the sun like an eclipse. When we wanted to pay, the only staff member had left, so we were all on our own, with the baffling lights and the underground rumble from the tube. A little odd.

Aya Lebanese Cuisine is a delightful taste of home for me as a Lebanese and I believe that anyone who’s looking to try real authentic Lebanese food must visit Aya. Their shish tawouk, warak enab, cheese rekakat, hummus, and fatoush are all absolute must-tries. Don’t forget to ask for that chilli sauce on the side! Many more choices for both vegetarians and meat lovers for very reasonable prices. The flavours are authentic and the ambiance is extremely cozy. Highly recommended for a taste of Lebanon in every bite! NB: the owners are extremely friendly & generous. They are always around to chat and receive feedback!

Wonderful food and service at a very reasonable cost. Very happy customers.

Love this restaurant. Been here so many times over the years. Great value, great food and service. Also do byo bottle or wine which is great!

We went as a group, had to wait more than 40 minutes for dinner to arrive although we were told 15 minutes for the food to arrive. Ordered Mega Mix Grill but the portions were small. Lack of customer service. Can of Coke costs £2.95, same price for the small water bottle.

£250 for a coke. £250 SERVICE CHARGE !!! £24 for 4 cubes of chicken and rice. I did not not order chicken PLEASE STAY AWAY

not a fancy place, simple interior, friendly guy, really nice food ; )

I ordered the mixed grill. Overall the food very nice but parts of the dish were cold.

Me and my partner went to the restaurant. We ordered from their lunch menu as well as ordered from the main menu too. The chicken liver tasted disgusting and off. Chicken sharwama, rice, kofta was served cold. We had to wait over 30 minutes for the food and the whole restaurant was empty and the food was still COLD!!! I had stomach ache that night. Never going there again!!!

Food not fresh, customer service a tragedy. I do not recommend

Nice and quiet, perfect for a quick meal and not too expensive. Food good quality.

As far as Lebanese food goes the food is decent. It's a good pick if you are local but there are some better choices in Tooting if your looking for Lebanese. I would definitely recommend the lamb shank which is perfectly cooked while other meats are perfectly fine. Not a judge fan of the calamari which was overcooked an bit on the chewy side.

Poor service, yet I was obliged to pay service charge of 10%, while it clearly says that this is optional. When I brought this matter to the attention of the manager, she admitted that it's optional, but was still implying that I have to pay for it. This is incredibly unprofessional, and I definitely wouldn't recommend.

Hi thanks for the meal. Food was delicious! What a treat during a scary time! Many thanks to the chefs and friendly delivery drivers. Will be returning again soon, hungry for more.

This afternoon myself and wife visited AYA and for a first time visit I must say WOW what great food coupled with outstanding service, we felt spoilt for choice on the lunch menu and ended up ordering a selection of 4 different options, we had the grilled half chicken, grilled chicken wings, the white bait and fried squid, which came with chunky chips and salad, we also was given humus and pitta bread to Eat whilst we waited on our meal, the food was faultless and throughout the meal we was made to feel comfortable and well waited on, the bill cane to £35 and to be honest the meal could have easily shared between 3 people but I felt greedy lol, I think AYA will be my go to place from now on anytime I feel like a cheeky date out with the Mrs which won't break the bank and will leave me having to be rolled out the restaurant door lol. Thanks to all the staff at AYA Merton high street. *****

Having a young family means date nights are few and far between... Today we went to lunch at Aya and enjoyed every bite. The portions were plenty full and beautifully presented. Every thing was served fresh and piping hot. We had half a chicken, chicken wings, seafood, falafel, salad and a few other items. Staff are friendly and accommodating and the food is reasonably priced. We'll definitely be back soon.

The humous and potatoes were off, had to wait for the main course more than half an hour, steamed veggies were awful: uncooked, from frozen, tasteless. Very disappointed as the other Aya had really nice food.

DELIVEROO PATRONS BEWARE I've been an Aya customer for many years now. Normally, their food is fresh and of a good standard, but my experience today has completely changed my opinion and I will not be returning to the restaurant or placing an order for takeaway with them ever again. I placed a large order via Deliveroo that set me back around £50 as a special occasion. The order consisted of two chicken wings, two things of rice, chips, a curry, two wraps and a salad. The wraps were fine as was the salad, however the rice, curry, chips and chicken wings were not up to standard. The rice was mushy and sour, the curry had an off taste and look (it had completely separated), the chips were stale and a dark brown colour and the chicken wings were burnt horribly. Needless to say, not being able to eat multiple dishes completely ruined my dinner and to add insult to injury, I was refused a refund. Had I been issued a refund, I would have considered giving the restaurant another chance on account of my longstanding patronage. As it stands, however, I am too put off to try again.

Food, good service friendly, no alcohol

We enjoy the Shawarma everytime we go in there for a meal or have a take out. Excellent quality and good on the tummy. We.just avoid the chilli sauce...which some might prefer...

Lovely middle eastern cuisine from kebabs to chicken grill and mixed grill...wooooo they sauces are really nice.I rate this place more than Meze Mangal..The food of this restaurant is exotic...Make sure you eat there...id eat everyday if i could

We had a great lunchtime meal at Aya. The service was speedy and friendly. All questions about the menu were easily answered. Good value for money.

Great food, great atmosphere and great service 5/5 Noce place for all age groups - would 100% recommend

I visit frequently and almost always am bowled over by the quality of the food here. Also, you bring your own booze which cuts the bill significantly. Chicken Livers with pomegranate is to die for... the bread and dips are also very generous and the interior is beautiful

You would have to to go to Lebanon or to a Lebanese family to get food as good as this, the food is excellent the service is supreme, what great tastes attentive staff, I wish I lived closer to come here more often, but even so we make the effort to come as much as possible, even the children love it and love the atmosphere and the friendliness, will be back very soon. THANK YOU

We have been coming to AYA s for long time , our children’s loves it . Best Lebanese ever . Service always so friendly and helpful . Highly recommend it . 5* without a doubt.

A friend recommended this place. All of the food was very good quality. Delivery was a little late, but not late enough to put me off. I don't hesitate in recommending it.

I ordered Lamb Shish and soup via Deliveroo. The delivery time was reasonable and the soup was nice and hot. However, half the main dish was onion which I detest. Onion was not specified on the menu or I would not have ordered the dish! The food was cold and disappointing. The meat was rubbery, came in small portions and was overcooked and bland. The highlight of the meal was the sauce. I would have thought the restaurant would put care in to their work to keep their 4 star google rating but they have clearly become complacent. The bread and rice were cold as was the meat and the delivery was only from down the road so there was no excuse. They have just lost a customer and will lose more if the bad service continues. I complained to Deliveroo and was credited £10. I had spent £20 for what feels like one piece of lamb. Deliveroo did not follow up with the restaurant. It's not just about money. I wanted an apology from the restaurant . Most of the food has gone in the bin.

Horrible cold,, rubbery food. Bad service. I do not recommend it at all unless you like onion in which case you will be served a plate of raw onion with a small piece of lamb. It was my worst culinary nightmare!

Quiet expensive food with very ordinary taste. Staff was welcoming and helpful.

I had family fly into town late and we were looking for a place to eat near their hotel. Of course, there are not many options serving food that late outside of kebab and fried chicken places (delicious, but not really what they were looking...

Right next door to the original “kebab” shop and quality of the grub is same but a tad more pricey. For that you get more of a restaurant. If you’re going with the mrs go here or after a few beers go to the one round the corner, either way you’re won’t be disappointed.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Servings are generous. The mixed grill is great as you'd expect but the real gem is the chicken wings. Go

Called in on spec on a Friday evening early (6 ish). We were the first people in and the guy asked if we had booked - I soon saw why - within a short space of time the place was packed. We were a party...

Good quality food for, what looks like a take-a-way. Friendly staff who try to help and do their best.great value for what you get.

I’m a very very fussy eater... but this was delicious!!! I had the Aya Mixed Grill and Aya Salad. The rice had an amazing cinnamon and garlic butter flavour which I’ll certainly try at home. Great atmosphere and decor. Will come again. Lovely waitress was...

Ordered a salad box with halloumi on the side and it came to £14. I could have got a steak in central London for that price, ridiculous. What a rip off!

Fantastic decor. Very friendly staff. Excellent food. Eat in and take away, simply the best Lebanese food for miles around.

Indeed a great time was had by all at this very successful Lebanese Restaurant. Their customer catchphrase/ motto in life is caring is sharing. In total there were 4 old school friends meeting up after 30 years or more. Indeed we all had a lot...

Copious quantities. We have to ask for a doggy bag. Trouble is we know it will taste even better for lunch tomorrow!

A disgrace of the service, the waitress did not smile at all throughout my visit and expect us to tip without giving us back the change. Have not been such an arrogant place.

Visited here for the first time on Friday, was with a party of 13 for a friends Birthday, A fantastic time was had by all, we had the £29 set meal - so easy in a group and each and every dish was delicious -...

Been here a few times, one thing guaranteed is the quality of the food, it's yum! Eventhough the restaurant was empty, the food took around half an hour to arrive. I noticed that they seemed to be very busy because they were prioritising deliveries. The...

Cold food, not good service ... in a good place

The food was great and the staff were friendly. However the portion size was not the best and I personally thing that for the price your paying, the portion size should be a bit larger.

Great food, friendly service, reasonable price. Cracking.

We went for lunch on a beautiful sunny day, so we were able to sit outside at the back of the restaurant. The service was excellent, we only had one course each. I had the char grilled baby chicken with salad it was cooked to...

We have been going to Aya for many years and the food is fantastic. Lovely decor and great service from the friendly staff.

Jeg tror neppe den vanlige London-turist finner veien hit, men jeg var så heldig å få være med min engelske...

He visitado este restaurante con amigos. Que había sido cerrado por algún tiempo y recientemente reabierto.He tenido su comida antes como la entrega, pero no he comido en el lugar.El servicio era muy bueno. La comida estaba muy sabroso.Teníamos una mezcla de entrantes y platos principales. Algunos de los aperitivos eran un poco pequeña en comparación con cuando he tenido pedidos de entrega - que venía de otra rama de Sta.Sin embargo, el cordero que teníamos era delicioso.El restaurante ha sido bellamente renovada y el ambiente era muy relajado. Estoy decidido a volver.Por favor ten en cuenta que este lugar no tiene una licencia de alcohol, pero si lo desea puede traer su propio!

Nice little restaurant with typical Lebanese decorations, It has a good selection of Lebanese dishes. Slightly too salty for my taste though.

Vi bestilte en haug med deilige forretter og deretter mixed grill til hovedrett. Min forrett-favoritt var hummus med lammekjøtt, men de sterke småpølsene (spicy cocktail sausages) var også gode.

Good foods. Reasonable price. We got £85 bill for 5 people. However I think the place is less spacious. And there need to be more waitress taking food orders.

Myself and my sister in law went to this restaurant last week.

Having spent an evening at its competitor next door I feel compelled to write about Aya. Big portions, always delicious. Very fresh, friendly and authentic.

This was not our choice to eat there. It was situated on a main road and the door was open throughout. So, ambulances, fire engines and police sirens disturbed our meal. And there was a constant traffic noise which prevented this from being a relaxed meal.

3 of us had dinner here, ordered selection of mezes, some dishes were pretty good (arayes, mutabal, tabouleh, soujok etc) but the most basic of dishes - hummus - was bland and disappointing. Service was ok. Not much else to add.

Mixed schwarma was ok, the falafels weren't bad either. The Hummus was very bad, under-seasoned and topped with cheap oil. Service was also very slow

Myself and husband have been visiting aya for many years before we got married after and now with our baby.

This was the first Lebanese restaurant I ever visits. Went back on several occasions. Staff were friendly and the food was fantastic.

Super great servers. Nicole was our server and she was awesome. Food was amazing. Really imaginative and eclectic. Only odd ball thing on appetizer menu that didn't fit in was the Greek meatballs, other than that it was a cool Asian Fusion menu. The Goyza was steamed-pan seared and very tasty. The Meatballs were odd-ball but just the same very tasty and would order again, the yogurt sauce made the dish. I opted for the Bulgogi Tacos that were very awesome, but messy to eat. Best to eat with a knife & fork versus tackling it by hand.

We have dined there many times in the last 3 years, and it has always met the expectations. Their chicken tawook is very well prepared and done and offers a great taste to what this should taste like in Lebanon. Their shawarma is very fatty and once cools down, becomes hard to eat. The mezes are great and rich. The restaurant hygiene is great, service is ok and value is acceptable. Aya is not exceptional but can do the job if craving Lebanese/ Mediterranean food

We really loved these Lebanese restaurant, the food is great and is coming in large portions. The service is very good.

Slow service, rude staff, food is below the standard of what Lebanese food is to be. I wanted to have a word with the manager whom didn't bother to attend to our complaint.

Good quality, relatively speedy service. Gets quite busy, so would recommedn booking in advance for evenings and weekends Portions are very generous.

Visited 14/ 7 /15 at lunch,[12 noon] - told chef had not arrived,so we said we would return at 1pm. Still no chef, no apology,so walked out! Staff member very offhand. Will not be returning.

Came into the small branch in wimbledon yesterday for a quick lunch.

The attitude of staff is disgraceful, real lack of people skills. I attended restaurant with wife and kids. Staff looked almost unhappy to see us food was average at best. Quite disappointed Wimbledon branch much better probably because owner is there. Surprised there trading same name immense quality difference and to top it off 2 star food hygiene rating. Stay away.

Same as the big Aya jut faster service still a good lunch meal. I came here during work and ordered a chicken wrap which was very juicy and soft and so obviously I liked it. The waiter was very nice and served me quickly, it was nice seeing the food you eat being made.

We ordered takeaway from Aya as our favourite Lebanese is right next door to it, part of Aya but a small local brand (that doesn't do deliveries).

Aya is a standard lebanese restaurant that does nothing exceptionally by my experience. What was a shame was that they didn't serve wraps to eat in. But what we did order, mixed grills, were ok. The portions are better in other places though- if you're paying 12 quid for a plate of food you expect a decent amount of meat. That wasn't really the case here though! Maybe next time

On the spur of the moment, my wife, daughter and I popped into Aya for a quick lunch, as we live locally. It was first time for my wife and I, and the nth time for my daughter whose recommendation it was. Our waitress was very welcoming and efficient even though it was the end of her lunch shift. Selection of starters were delicious and generous portions provided. We ordered two mains between three of us, the quality was good and quantity enormous......so with the help of our waitress, we were able to take away enough for our sons dinner too! And the mint tea was good too. Recommended!

This is the 16 time I've been to Aya And It's been amazing every time. This time i went to the New Years party and the music was amazing and the belly dancer. The food as usual was amazing. Me and my friends say it's the best New Years party we have been to .

We were given a gift card (hand written by the restaurant as they do not have proper printed gift cards) earlier in the year by someone close to us as mother's day gift. We could not use it on mother's day as the restaurant was fully booked. For various reasons we have not been able to use it any sooner but when we tried to use it now, the restaurant insisted that we can only use it on mother's day! What a joke! I shall never return to this restaurant.

I went there yesterday and they opened a juice bar right next to them. Service is great. Food amazing. The juice and sweets were amazing they lots of smoothies and juice and Lebanese sweets. Overall I say 5 stars.

Not sure how this restaurant has won any local awards, they must be the principal sponsor!

We visited the Aya with friends who recommended it for good Lebanese food and we were not disappointed. Alcohol is not served but you can take your own which we did and in truth this ensures you enjoy the wine and saves much on the final bill. We were shown to a good table which had been reserved for us and given menus by a very polite and helpful waitress. There were plenty of wine glasses provided for our needs and the menu was very comprehensive and inviting. With the help of our hosts we ordered a mountain of food, or it seemed to me, but so tasty was it that we managed to pretty much hoover our way through all of it. No single dish was disappointing and many were excellent. At £20 a head the final bill was very reasonable for quality and volume of all the food we have eaten. It was a most enjoyable night out and we would certainly visit again when in Wimbledon.

Appetizing aromas hit one on entering this cosy, well-designed and friendly restaurant. The tasteful decor (beautiful woodwork, handmade in Syria, adorn the ceilings, walls..) gives the feel of being in a middle eastern restaurant. Arabic music in the background further adds to the ambience. However, as the restaurant filled up, the chatter and the music did not go too well... The unisex bathrooms are clean and spacious. There is seating outside but the road is very busy at all times. Parking is a little difficult to find in this part of South London. The restaurant is wheel chair friendly.

I had been dreaming of the lamb and chicken mixed shawarma with the tahini sauce since my first visit a couple of months ago. The hummos, flat bread and fattoush were equally tasty. It's really close to Wimbledon South tube, and the fact we could bring our own wine for no extra charge made this good value.

On a family visit we ordered loads everything was great tasting more then we could handle but the doggy bags helped. All the rice dishes where amazing but please note the food takes its sweet time so order quickly and sit back and enjoy the plush surroundings..also I found it abit pricy but that's South London for you!

What a fab place to go to with friends - we had a ball! The food was excellent and the staff were so attentive. The best bit was the price especially as it's a BYO (we bought our wine from Sainsbury's which is just nearby). Thoroughly recommend you give this a try. We felt the Manager did everything possible to make our evening a success. Hope to go there again soon

Went to the takeaway place at Wimbledon Broadway..customer service was very poor. The food was too oily and there was no flavour. The only upside is the value for money.

Been here many times and it's always been reasonable. However, it seems there's recently been a 'problem' with the water tank. Absolute rubbish!! In light of this, we refused to pay service charge and the waiter told us to go up to the manager to explain why. We're not school children. Highly advise missing out on this restaurant. Much better, similar restaurants in local tooting and balham.

Do not get a takeaway from aya. Cold food, poor quality and half full containers! Customer service is very very bad also.

I have been here a number of times and the food is consistently excellent. We usually order a number of the starters and share and just enjoy trying different dishes each time. The food we always order is the humous and tabbouleh both of which are excellent. My particular favorite are the chicken wings. We went with another friend recently who lives in France who thought it was one of the best meals he had - he had never had Lebonese food before. The mint tea and selection of pastries are a great way to end the meal. Because you bring wine it makes the evening extremely good value.

Went to this lovely Lebenese Resturant for a 50th birthday family celebration lunch. I have to say the food was fantastic, very tasty. The food cooked on the grill is cooked on coal so it has a beautiful authentic barbecue taste. We were served by Amr who was absolutely brilliant with his customer service. He took 28 peoples orders of food and drinks and at the end for the bill he remembered every single persons order so we could pay for what we had eaten instead of splitting the bill. Execellent service. If you're near South Wimbledon station and fancy a good meal visit Aya Cuisine you wont be disappointed.

I booked Aya for my daughter's 21st, and I was not disappointed. There was a large crowd, about 35; we were given a private area at the back of the restaurant. The manager and staff were attentive and helpful and friendly - but not too fussy or interfering. The food was delicious, especially the grilled meats. The restaurant does not serve alcohol, and does not charge corkage when you bring your own (but staff helped with sorting and serving all the drinks nonetheless) - which made the whole evening much more economical. All in all, everyone had a lovely time, and several of the guests said it was one of the nicest evenings they remembered. The cost was fair for the numbers involved, and there were no hidden extras or surprises in the bill. Overall, we were very pleased with the whole experience, and would recommend Aya to anyone in SW London planning a similar event.

I was here two weeks ago, I had chickens wings with prawns to start and for the main baby chicken on the bone with rice. The meals here are cook perfectly and everything is good. I recommend trying the Aya grill if its your first time, but only if you like a lot of meat or the Aya burger (well seasoned lamb burger with chips). the service is good especially if the owner Ali is there he is always friendly. If you like to drink alcohol then this is the place for you, because you can bring your own drinks in at no extra cost.

This is a family owned and run restaurant serving authentic dishes. Fantastic value for money. I almost didn't write this review as it is too good to share!!!

Went with 6 ladies for a night out on a hot summer evening. The restaurant had run out of ice and staff were walking around not doing much. We had to ask 3 times for soft drink. However the food here is fantastic all 6 ladies really enjoyed starters, mains and desserts. I will be returning as the food is that good. The rude staff are laughable so don't be put off!

A very pleasant family dining experience. Lots of choice for our party of 6. Lebanese menu with mezze speciality

Dry food, bland, under seasoned. Hummus was nice, but no nicer than the stuff you can buy in the shops. Below average on all aspects. Service was poor too, in fact it was woeful. One waiter (possibly the manager??) was openly and unashamedly rude. Need to learn some manners and send the chef back to cooking school.

I have never experienced such disgraceful service.

Made a provisional telephone booking for 35 people for a work end of term do. We were asked to pay a deposit which we paid, after finalising our numbers, for 27 people a few weeks beforehand. 25 of us (two people couldn't make it in the end)arrived at the restaurant really looking forward to a real 'Lebanese' food experience. Nice restaurant with great ambience. We got seated and told the waitress we were ready to order. Then the bad experience started. She said you booked for 35 - we said yes but we finalised our numbers a few weeks ago and paid deposits for 27 however we quickly realised from her attitude that there was a problem - she then got the manager over who was extremely rude and insistent that he had finalised our numbers today on the phone with us for 35. We said no, you must have misunderstood as there are only 25 of us and we had finalised today as 25 and paid deposits for 27 perhaps he had misheard the number? No he was insistent that we had finalised 35 on the phone today. This clearly was untrue as we had only collected money from 25 although we had paid deposit for 27 so why would we say 35? Not a good start to our evening and everyone was now feeling uncomfortable - very bad customer service..... He then tried to get us to pay for 30 as he said he had turned other bookings away. After a totally embarrassing 10 minutes of arguing (I won't go into more detail as it would take too long) and us threatening to go elsewhere he backed down and agreed to serve us for 25 covers. Then the food arrived..... Now we were still looking forward to the food but it was very disappointing - nice chicken thighs but nothing special, calamari was like inedible rubber bands and the rest of the starters were more like a poor imitation of picnic food from marks and Spencer's e.g. falafel balls etc all dry and bland. The main course was not much better - grilled chicken was nice, but lamb was greasy and flavourless and no sauces except for an extremely disgusting small hot dipping sauce - all served with dry rice and oven chips! Not what I thought Lebanese food would be like at at all! The set menu stated coffee and dessert included but, after a long wait we had to ask and all we got was black coffee and a few tiny 'bacclava' type pastries and I mean tiny! Had to ask for milk and sugar. All served grudgingly. Manager apologised at the end of the evening but frankly the whole experience was unpleasant and for £27.50 per head not worth it. The general consensus from 25 of us was - out of ten it was rated as 3 - 6 for the food (the one 6 was for portion size from the only male!) and zero for the customer service. A real shame. I have never posted a review before but I am so disappointed that I feel I have to say to others - read the other reviews for party bookings on this site and beware!

Aya's restaurant is Wimbledon's hidden treasure. Our large group was well accommodated and we were made to feel very welcome and comfortable. The staff were always to hand and service was impeccable. The ambience is so authentic, you don't feel you are in the heart of London. The food is amazing and of great value. If you haven't already been to Aya's, you are missing out. 10 out of 10 all round.

This has been one of many times myself, family, friends and also work meals in Aya's and i have never been disappointed!

It's not often I come to write reviews on TA but then again if I did I would be on here nearly every day, but this is an exception as we were a party of 28 hungry people so any restaurant who is good with group bookings is worth a good review in my opinion.

First time at this restaurant although my friend lives locally and has been customer in the past. Arrived and seated at a very cramped table for two - behind my chair was a step meaning that I couldn't move my chair back to give us extra room and right behind my friend's chair was another couple eating. I mean these two chairs were literally touching back to back.

We have seen this restaurant advertised in our local free paper on a number or occasions and have meant to visit for a while. I noticed varied reviews on trip advisor and wondered why, as the local paper had recommended it. The restaurant certainly had a nice vibe when we entered and the staff were helpful if a little laid back. Personally I don't really mind if the waiters are not that attentive as I can always call them or get up to seek them out but I can understand that others might not like to do that so I can understand some of the negative comments about the staff. We selected the vegetarian platter which was just over £30 for two plus extra for drinks which seemed quite reasonable. It seemed about the same price as other Lebanese restaurants I have eaten in. The various mezze dishes looked good and tasted OK - in fact there was sufficient with just those and my wife forgot there was a main to come and was full after the mezzes. The main was also fine but by then I was starting to feel a bit dehydrated. I have a real problem when too much salt is put onto food and I think they must have emptied the salt cellar on mine. I had drunk a large bottle of mineral water with my meal but was starting to feel unwell when we left. When I arrived home (about 20 minutes away) I had two large mugs of tea and a large glass of juice and still felt dehydrated. I slept badly, felt unwell and dehydrated during the night and drank excessively the next day. I have given an average rating as I thought the restaurant was OK, the staff were OK and the food (apart from the salt) was OK. Maybe it was just me and others like lots of salt on food - this is a problem for me in about one out of ten restaurants I eat in and was definitely a real problem at the Aya Express.

went there last night with my family, the restaurant was packed (told something delicious was being made). We even enjoyed a belly dancer dancing. All I CAN SAY!!!!! :-D
