Azou in Hammersmith and Fulham

I dined here on Friday night, the service was fantastic, as was the food. I had not been to these premises in 26 years, and was blown away to see Chris, the owner and head chef, The last time I saw him was with my Father, Terry (From Kings Court) when I was nearly 21. I am looking forward to seeing you and eating more fantastic food soon! ❤️

Lovely food. We enjoyed a mix of food. Each of us was surprised and amazed by the flavour of each dish.

Best restaurant ever. I was struggling to find a good North African in London but I find the best one. Every single dish has a good taste. I recommend you this restaurant as a number one.

Amazing and authentic North African food! We loved everything from the couscous, tajine to burek… The service is good and they give good portions of food which makes this restaurant a good value for money. I highly recommend!

A hidden gem in West London! The meat is incredibly tender, and the couscous is packed with flavorful veggies, cooked to perfection. Highly recommended! :)

IF YOU DECIDE TO CLOSE & GO ON HOLIDAY, THE DECENT THING TO DO WOULD BE TO UPDATE YOUR WEBSITE OR LEAVE A MESSAGE ON YOUR PHONE! GOOGLE SHOWED OPEN BUT WE HAD A COMPLETE WASTED JOURNEY BECAUSE THE PLACE WAS CLOSED - CUSTOMER SERVICE ZERO! WE WONT BE BACK!

I just had a picture pop up on my phone from when I was living in London, this day in 2019, and went to Azou for Dinner with my partner. It prompted me to do a google search and see if it was still open. It was a quiet evening at the restaraunt and the owner spent a lot of time and effort ensuring we were looked after and explaining all the dishes to us. It was some of the best food I had ever eaten! Pleased that this place is still going strong and will 100% return if I am ever in London again

The chef was extremely rude; I do not recommend going there

Wonderful food full of flavour. The tagines are simply out of this world, all prepared and cooked with love and care by the owner Chris. Amazing experience.

Best tagines I've ever tried!!!

I've been a regular of this restaurant for the past 9 years and I still have not had enough. Menu is concise and authentic, a delight for the North African that I am. Tagine Constantine is my go to, try it!

Food was delicious - I ordered the lamb couscous. I really loved my meal the portion was quite big so I only had the main. My friend ordered the flaffel and then the chicken couscous. She said the flaffel was the best she ever tried and enjoyed her main as well.

The food is amazing! The owner very friendly and welcoming

Food was great and service was excellent!

I spent the evening with a good friend from home, We found this hidden gem while walking toward Chiswick high street. The food was very tasty and full of flavours, nice relaxing atmosphere also.

Good service nice atmosphere, food was a bit underwhelming, but still tastes good, and was happy with the amount of food , babaganosh was lacking flavour as was the tahini , I will go back again but I know what to expect next time add I make these dishes myself and I do a nicer dishes IMO 😀

Amazing service and friendly staff. Incredible food.

My palate was taken on an adventure of flavour. Absolutely delicious.

I first visited this restaurant in 2011 having watched Gordon Ramsey's show on finding the Best North African Restaurant in the UK. I had a brilliant experience then and after a long gap went back for two visits recently. The service is consistently excellent, the food is top notch! My favourites are the Constantine Tagine with a couscous and the Baba ganoush. Will definitely be coming back more often!

Consistently fantastic food and experience Excellent customer service The chicken Zitoune (special order with chicken thighs) is simply gorgeous 10/10

This is a long due review. We were here almost 4 years back and my wife keeps reminding me of the Lamb Tagine. We can't wait to be back. Thank you

I grew up around the corner from Azou and, as someone from a North African background, I can’t tell you how much I enjoy their food! Their brik (Tunisian street food dish) is generously portioned and a must-try starter (only correct way to eat it is with your hands!). Their couscous is fluffy, tajines are rich and portions filling. You’ll definitely get authentic flavours and good value for money (remember to try the traditional bread ‘galette’)!

This place is fantastic. Delicious food, lovely ambience and great service! My partner is Algerian and I wanted to take him here because of the reviews. He loved the food, a couple of the dishes his Mother would make. We had the Hummus, Bourek, Constantine Tagine and the Chicken Couscous. All the food was delicious!! The tagine however was a standout!

Delicious, the portions can be slightly larger but otherwise wonderful establishment

North African food, well known to be exceptional is certainly mastered in Azou's kitchen. From the flavors the textures to the perfect cooking... the experience is unique. The lamb made me blush when I saw how sensually it strips from it's bone. First bite I almost fainted in the prunes. Brilliant service as well, Mohammed is wonderful. Merci pour cette belle experience. J'ai prévu de revenir et espère pouvoir féliciter Chef Azou de vive voix.

Food in this place is definitely 5 stars. They have a cosy and beautiful dining room making you feel like you are in Morocco. But food is definitely 5 stars, thank you Azou

Been to this place twice now and it’s always brilliant. Will recommend this place for the rest of my life!

The best experience i ever had excellent tagines taj constantin with bread great excellent service and excellent atmosphere.

Best restaurant I’ve ever been to. Their Constantine tajine - you actually can’t put into words how amazing it is. I was waiting for a friend who was running late but the staff were super friendly and chatty and didn’t mind. They also serve Moroccan beer and wine which was delicious too. Will certainly be back

The best restaurant I’ve ever been to. Ordered the Constantine tajine which can’t actually be put into words how amazing this was. I can’t actually stop thinking about it and need to get back to Azou asap

One can’t never be disappointed by this restaurant. It has great atmosphere, wonderful cuisines, very helpful and friendly crew and reasonable price. We started with appetizers including falafels/salad plate, calamari fries and the baba ganoush. The texture of baba ganoush was so good with the flat pitta. We ordered a king prawn tajine and a lamb couscous as our main dishes. The chewy king prawns were very fresh and well-seasoned. You could even taste the sea in your mouth! The lamb was also cooked well with a tender texture and wonderful flavor. It was also served with a broth. Loved the two mains! Dessert was a bit too sweet for me but all of my friends loved it. Classic mint tea was a great choice in the cold weather. Will definitely visit again.

Excellent, authentic North African food in a relaxing setting.

Great authentic food, unfortunately we were sat next to a loud table and were unable to hear each other, otherwise great food.

Excellent experience. The restaurant was full and we were worried that the food would take a long time to arrive but service was spot on. Didn’t wait at all. Food was extremely tasty and plentiful. We will defo be coming back!

Food is excellent however the billing is antiquated. It took us 20 mins to calculate each persons contribution as it was written in notes next to a menu.

I've eaten good North African food in Paris and Los Angeles in the past, but this was the best. All 3 enjoyed everything we ordered. Highly recommended.

Delicious revisited North African/Mediterranean traditional food

The Azou is a North-African restaurant with a full menu including a range of tagine dishes: chicken to lamb, seafood, and vegetarian choices. The waiter was very knowledgeable and helped us select the side dishes. I chose the traditional lamb with prunes, apricots, almonds, and walnuts. The sweetness of the sauce perfectly complemented the tender piece of lamb. There is a wide range of desserts: Baked nut cake, lemon sorbet, vanilla ice cream, and authentic coffee variations. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. We highly recommend it.

Throughly enjoyed our first experience at Azou. The food was excellent as was the service. The pastilla was superb as were the main courses. Will be happy to visit the restaurant again.

Very friendly and attentive staff. They’ve put effort into the atmosphere and the food and it has paid off. Good portion sizes in the dishes and I ate until I was stuffed

Discovered Azou on, what is now, an old Gordon Ramsay episode featuring the best of North African cuisine. How delighted we were to see Chef Chris is still in the kitchen and serving up his wonderful dishes. A great night out in Hammersmith and we’ll worth a visit. Thank you to all and very well done!

Incorrectly advertised opening times. I arrived at 10:20pm on a Tuesday and the restaurant was closed, despite supposedly being open until 11:00pm. Ruined my plans and wasted my time.

The food was brilliant, just as I remembered from a few years ago at my last visit. Great service, attentive staff. Lovely atmosphere

Always great, never disappointed when going to Azou.

Had a nice diner ! Tajine and couscous were delicious

We had a fantastic meal here. The food was fresh, hot and delicious. It beat all our expectations. What a gem! Service was excellent too.

Food was absolutely delicious, large portions of well cooked, well presented, well served goodness. Cannot fault the service, the attention we were given and the food which was amongst the best I've ever eaten.

Despite I’m not in a position to claim it is a very authentic restaurant as I’m not Moroccan, I have a very strong feeling it actually is! The lamb tajine with prunes is divine and so is the couscous! Very kind service and nice atmosphere. New fav in the neighbourhood!

Five stars isn't enough, it would get 10 if it were down to me. Everything about this amazing restaurant is truly outstanding. We come all the way from East London to go here, it's that good!

The food and atmosphere are both immaculate.. so cozy and the staff are so friendly as well🤍

Visited for a birthday. Cosy atmosphere, friendly staff. The food was incredible, I had the Tajine el ain and it was so so good. Will be back and will definitely be recommending Azou to anyone willing to listen!

Very authentic experience. Service was nice and personal, very accommodating. The tagines are really special, we were also treated to some homemade chilli sauce that was so good we bought extra to take home! Would go again.

We came here after our usual North African by as unt closed down! It is a delightful place and the food is excellent - we were under the supervision of front of house manager Muhammad Kubi (an Algerian gentleman - delightful) Wecwill certainly return with more family members! Alhumdu-Lilah.

Ordered the Cuscus lamb. Came very very quickly, very hot, very tasty and delicious. Staff are very friendly and classy.

Amazing. Staff are so friendly and the food is the best food I have had in London and the best North African food I ever had. Will definitely be coming back

Restaurant cancelled reservation on the night due to double booking without telling us. Multiple attempts to rearrange via email completely ignored - spend your money elsewhere with better service

These guys told me they do middle Eastern cuisine. I would’ve believed them if i hadn’t seen the 17 Vietnamese children cooking and cleaning in the back

My friend was promised the experience of his life. He did not expect to be slapped around the face with a salmon (he wouldn’t have minded if it was at least seasoned). My girlfriend also said the waitress was “eye humping” her all evening. The least he could have done was take here home. Had to pay for her and put up with her s**t all night. Loved the naan.

A delightful evening, really good food and wine. Definitely recommended for a romantic dinner for two, with it's atmospheric Moroccan décor.

If you're North African i recommend not to go here! It doesn't taste anything like traditional North African food. I was very let down having tried both the Chicken Couscous and Lamb Tagine. All the dishes lacked so much flavour, this place is more so catered towards non-North African people so if you want authentic go elsewhere!

Good atmosphere and service here, slightly let down by the food which was reasonable but for the price tag (£20 mains) not that special.

Absolutely awesome Moroccan food...

Very nice place. Better than we expected. The food is delicious and more than enough. Highly recommended 👌

Wonderful restaurant, authentic Algerian cuisine and very friendly managers. Tagline and Royal cous cous was chock full of generous portions of chicken and lamb.

You walk in and the waiting staff are incredibly attentive and friendly. We were sat down after a big party of 12 had gotten there, but the staff prioritised us first as 2 people, so we wouldn't be waiting for their long orders to come out: just one of those nice little things to notice! The food is absolutely incredible, but also quick to come out! Would 100% recommend, and would love to come back to try more things.

Really tasty food on sale with excellent service from the staff.

Lovely cosy atmosphere. Good wine list and the food is highly authentic.

North African cuisine so good your mother in-law will love it and so will your wedding guests! I accidently discovered this little gem while on a stroll in Chiswick in 2006 and the food, amazing staff and the wonderful cheeky chap that runs the place,Chris, have always made it a worthwhile evening. As a Native North African, it was always hard to find restaurant food that comes close to home cooked cuisine from back home; Azou with it's cozy ambiance serves up dishes with the love of a homecooked meal coupled with the refined delicate flavours of a Michelin star restaurant. I have always enjoyed every meal at Azou, I even took my Mrs on a date there and she liked it so much she took her mom (a North African lady who refuses to eat anything from outside) and she loved it so much we ended up having our wedding dinner here. The food was great (as always) but beyond feeding the hungry guests, we want to thank Chris and his team for helping create one of our most cherished memories. We will be back as always.

Very good tasty north african food very friendly staff

A little North African jem, with food style spanning from Tunisia to Morocco, authentic and hearty. Generous portions, flavourful, a real soul food experience to pair with a small selection of North African wines.

Amazing food, lovely ambiance and great service!

Absolutely delicious dishes, fantastic presentation and very friendly staff. Small but cosy restaurant with good location Would definitely recommend 👌

Un grand plaisir de voir un cuisinier algerien avec un telle talent, bonne continuation Tahya DZ ✌️

Fantastic service and the food is amazing. We. Spent this much just bc we ordered a lot, but you can go there and spend £20_30 pp and be full. Everything was delicious, especially the starters. Def recommended

A birthday dinner for 4 of us. It was absolutely wonderful. The service was excellent the chef came out and chatted to us and the hospitality was second to none. We felt really welcome. The food was so delicious. We were recommended to have rice with some dishes , bread with others and it was just right. The decor is very North African, really beautiful and all very comfortable. We had a great evening!

A fantastic dining experience. The food was impeccable- absolutely delicious. The service was very fast and extremely friendly. We will be back!

Beautiful little restaurant,staff are very nice and friendly food is fabulous,and the owner is really nice and friendly .

Lovely, cosy place. Good food. Fish dish really good.

The best North African in the UK restaurant I’ve tried so far, tastes as good as homemade, plus lots of flavours and good wine ❤️

This place is very authentic and welcoming. The starters stole the show. The main course was good as well. If you are not someone who enjoys eating spicy I would be careful. Also the portions were too big for my liking. Other than that this is a great place.

One of the bad experience in my life, it’s not Moroccan food. And stuff are rude. Differently the chef are not Moroccan.

Beautiful experience for my 30th birthday with my boyfriend Algerian. Great food!

Best Moroccan and North African restaurant in London I have tried so far. Totally recommend. Don't miss the Chicken Bastilla, it's very crispy and full of flavours and juicy the way it should be, perfect.

It was dark and warm when we entered. The stickers on the front of the shop does no justice for the place. More lights are needed as it dull. Victoria the waitress failed to watch customers. We asked for mint three times and she still forgot. There was only three customers so it should not have been difficult. Not great service. The food was a disappointment and over cooked you could taste the burnt parts of the food. The second portion came it was like it had been frozen and put in the microwave. The chicken was not tender and not tasty. I have had the dish before this was not pleasant atall very dry It was really annoying as with paid £33 for two staters a bottle water and a pot of mint tea. Over priced and quality of food was not great. I would not go agian.

Definitely recommend this place. The food is amazing, the atmosphere is calm, the decor is lovely, the staff are welcoming and the service is fantastic. The prawn tajine and chakchouka are amazing.

Their Cafe Laate is amazing; visited this morning

Might be Michelin star but food was bland. Service was amazing. But wouldnt go back there for food

Best Houmous in the world Lamb shank well seasoned and delicious

Food was great the lamb Tangine full of flavour , calamari nice and crispy , bread was brillant ,service was frustrating class ,I am very looking foward to be coming back.

Very good Moroccan restaurant. The tajine was delicious. For the couscous royal, the lamb and the veggies were very good, the chicken unfortunately a bit dry and the broth was missing salt and spice - the harissa helped a bit.

We are so lucky to have such a wonderful North African restaurant in Hammersmith. I always get the tajine el ain - such tender and delicious lamb shank cooked with prunes, apricots and walnuts. Yum yum!

I strongly recommend it, a sure value, the best Algerian restaurant in London for its service, its warm and friendly welcome!! without forgetting of course the taste of the food which is just divine whatever you order everything is a pure delight and so delicious.

Lovely restaurant, great food, lovely staff, little expensive but worthy. Soft lighting, can be romantic or just a good night out with friends.

So delicious! A great place to experience Moroccan, Tunisian and Algerian food all in one place. The tagline was fantastic - just barely touch the lamb and it melts from the bone

Amazing food. The lamb tagine Constantine was perfect. Starters of calamari and hummus was excellent. Highly recommended Azou for any evening out for great authentic and affordable food.

DO NOT HESITATE… EAT HERE! My husband is Algerian and has raved about this restaurant for years since he lived in London. After 5 years (& a pandemic) we made our way to London from California and he made sure we checked out Azou. The food here is incredible, the ambiance is beautiful and the staff are very friendly. My recommendations: Start with the sardines, brik, bourek, and the bastilla (the combination of the meat and the sweetness of the cinnamon is such a wonderful taste) Entree: Tajine zitoune (I love olives) and couscous royale (merguez, the lamb sausages are my absolute fav)

I used to come to this amazing restaurant back in the day when I was living in London. My wife and I came for a visit to UK from the States and I wanted her to try some Algerian food and again, this restaurant didn't disappoint! Service was outstanding. They make sure that every table is taken good care of and they're very friendly. Food wise, now let me tell you something, literally everything on the menu is delicious! I'm originally from Algeria so I know Algerian food. We both loved it so much that we made another reservation for the day before we fly back to California. You really can't go wrong with pretty much anything on the menu but I would highly recommend the Brick, the Bourek, the sardines, The couscous Royale and the Tagine Zitoune (with Olives). Oh and their desserts are also delicious, go for the ktayef. Can't wait to go back again in a couple of days.

Lovely place. The decor is gorgeous. The food! Amazing. And the owner/chef is really friendly. He makes food recommendations and checks on you. I recommend this place 💯

Endroit très agréable,personnel très sympathique Le repas pour nous un couscous était délicieux Nous avons passé une excellente soirée

Went for a last minute trip to London and saw great reviews for this spot. They didn't let us down! Can't wait to come back and get more. Take tips from the staff, they have an incredible menu and know what matches. Great customer service, the chef even came to say hello. Highly recommended
