Doukan in Wandsworth

Having eaten there on and over the years the menu is now old hat and boring. The food is just about average

It is a real shame that this restaurant has closed down, it is not common to find good alternative style restaurants as opposed to your usual Italian and American style food. I hope this is just a relocation as opposed to it being closed down.

I am so sad to see that this restaurant has now closed. It was brilliant and I had some really lovely meals here. It's probably my fault for not going enough

Fantastic meal for 6 on a Saturday night. It was busy but service wasn't slow. Ordered lots of things to share and it was all delicious. Particularly good tagines, especially the lamb. Will definitely be going back.

An excellent place for a cheap set lunch and nice to sit outside in the summer, very friendly, good service and family friendly too, you won't find any tourists, just locals.

Doukan is a great restaurant to go to. Unfortunately I haven't been able to go for while but had a free afternoon so went for lunch Good menu and specials (which i went for) Reasonably priced Recommend this place

This is one of my favourite local restaurants. The food is delicious and the staff are always super welcoming. Happily go here as often as possible and totally worth it. Also does great cosmopolitan cocktails!

Ordered from Deliveroo, and the food was so delicious. Tasty and fresh and good value. First time we have ordered from here and will definitely be back.

Wonderful food, fantastic service, we thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant and can't wait to go again.

Superb food,friendly staff.this is our second time in doukan and won't be the last.I really recommend the cheese brokerage and the lamb couscous ....delicious...

Went to Doukan in Wandsworth town last night and was blown away by how appalling the service was. Everyone at the table had their food accept me, waited over 20 minutes with no word of apology after chasing them several times about it. In the end told them not to bother and they still tried to charge me for the food that never arrived and a lager they never delivered. The toilets were flooded too, I could go on but just too much to mention wrong with this place.

This is one of my favourite restaurants in London. The food is tops, staff are wonderful, decor is beautiful and the prices easy on the wallet.

Good authentic food. Reasonably priced and decent service . Both mezes and mains were good. Portions are also value for money

We were served early, after having called to see if it was possible. The owner was very kind and accommodating. The good was absolutely fabulous for us vegetarians. Tasty!!! Excellent service and prices.

Came here for brunch. They had a delicious buffet style platter. Lots of different vegetable dishes, and two delicious mains of chicken and lamb.All you can eat as well, although I was stuffed after one plate. Desserts very tasty too! Highly recommend

I have visited Doukan on two occasions, the meal we had was delicious with great portions! After our dinner we enjoyed the Shisha and Morrocan tea which was lovely and sociable. The staff were very friendly, and the manager who was brilliant and very welcoming!! definitely will visit Doukan again!!

This was an average meal, service a little slow, mains ok. Starters poor. Prawn and muscles starter comprised of 3 butterflied prawns and 2 eatable muscles (some shells closed). Glad ordered two starters ... The Harisa chicken was too hot and the minty yogurt provided wasn't a great quality one. My partner enjoyed her meal so one of us was happy. Service slow we paid on way out as couldn't wait any longer for service. Then they had the audacity to charge service automatically at 12.5% I would not have tipped this meal. Atmosphere good shame food didn't match.

We had 6 dishes of the meze menu and it was all delicious. We had the food in front of us within 15 minutes of ordering. The staff were attentive and friendly. We went on a Friday and did book before hand. It wasn't Completely full but did have some large groups. The food seemed High quality and was some of the freshest meze I've eaten!

Lovely place, a little off the beaten track, but the food in worth it. Generous portions, love the cous cous tagines, especially the lamb, very tender. The restaurant's interior is great too, and there's a bar area where they don't mind if you stop just for drinks. Will definitely come here again.

Doukan is an absolute gem. I am a (very) regular visitor to Doukan as I work around the corner, all of my colleagues go there on a regular basis too. The food is amazing. We always usually go for the wraps (chargrilled chicken) or the salad boxes to take out, its amazing to have such a fresh and tasty restaurant that serves take out lunch. I must disagree with the negative post below as 'the lady' is the most helpful and friendly person you will ever meet, and I am surprised that anyone has a bad word to say about her. She is very generous with her servings so much so that the filling always over spills the wraps. All of the staff are lovely and very helpful and also give you the same portion size.

I work around the corner from the restaurant and visit around once a week. The food is so delicious and the lunch box portions are very large as well as the 2 course set menu offer for £10 often being too much to finish! I regularly visit with my colleagues and the staff are so friendly and welcoming to us each time. I would highly recommend this restaurant to people and definitely try the chicken bastilla :)

Our office is round the corner from Doukan, and it's become an absolute lunchtime favourite! The salads are always fresh, and change each day, so there's a great variety of different choices, as well as flatbreads and wraps. Portions are always really generous, especially on the salads, and the staff are friendly, smiley and chatty - always a pleasure to go in there at lunchtime! The evening menu is just as good, with great tagines and other main courses. By far the best restaurant in Wandsworth Town - we love Doukan!

I have been coming to Doukan for the past 2 years since my office moved to the area,everyday I have a salad lunch box with harissa chicken ,I was really surprise to read the previous review and I find it even mean ..the lady is friendly and recognize you and I had never any problem ,that's why i keep coming back!the salads are different every day and the flavour are amazing.I can only recommend it !!

I often visit Doukan as I work just round the corner and have encouraged my work colleagues to visit too (which they have). We have a takeaway lunch box for £7. The taste of the food is very good BUT the portion size varies lot depending on who serves you and the heat of the food also varies. The gentlemen serving in Doukan are lovely and fair with choice and quantity. Definitely not over sized portions but just right :-) The lady, however, is very stingy and is deceiving which how much she puts in. Chatting quickly at us will not obstruct our observations and comparisons. Take a leaf out of the guys books and don't just see the £££'s with greed because your flavors are excellent and I don't want to stop using your establishment!

My wife and I dined here on 12 September. A charming and welcoming proprietor and staff, a large and uncrowded interior with tasteful furnishings and (most importantly) a delicious lunch buffet with some impressive Moroccan/Algerian dishes. We shall definitely return for a menu experience one evening, and would recommend the venue highly on the basis of the quality and value of the food served. We shall also be back with our adult children for another go at the Sunday buffet!

With service that is second to none a Chef that cooks the most amazing dishes - Doukan is a must for anyone looking for quality food at a quality price.The 2 course meal menu option is especially good.The entire staff provide a service that is welcoming and delightful and the food, oh the food - delights and surprises everytime.Compliments to the Chef. :)Darryll

We won a raffle prize for the Sunday brunch at Doukan and visited at the weekend. Warm welcome, lovely atmosphere and great food. The buffet style starters and desseets included hummous, vine leaves, falafel and really tasty filled flat breads with baklava and other sweet treats for dessert. But the star was the maincourse -lamb which fell off the bone with a mere touch of a spoon, so tasty. We will be back...

We stopped by one mid week evening for dinner. The place is much larger than it looks from the outside. I didn't think much about the decor in the front room but the dining room was very pretty. I would definitely recommend this place for a dinner date. The restaurant serves fresh juice and the food exceeded our expectations! The staff were also incredibly helpful and friendly. We ordered an aubergine dip, lamb couscous and the grilled sausage with salad. I would happily re-order our selection but my favourite was the aubergine dip - very flavourful.The chef came by towards the end to ask whether we enjoyed the food - a very nice gesture. After dinner, we also had some shisha (real charcoal - not magic coal!) and the bill totalled under £60 without alcohol. Good value for the quality meal we had.

Friendly happy service. Fantastic menu. Good tasty food and great portions. Reasonably priced and not bad one list.

What a great experience!service was perfect ,food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere is very unique,I really recommend the mezze and the beef tagine. perfect restaurant to meet up with friend!

Had a lovely birthday meal here, food was as good as anticipated, except the fruit in the lamb tagine was horribly cold. And have to disagree on the dessert I tried after the recommendation below - chocolate cigars were very disappointing, could hardly get though them with a spoon (staff joked they should've given me a knife?) and didn't taste that nice at all. Was a bit annoyed with the compulsory service charge that was added for the 2 of us when we were the the only ones in the restaurant most of the time and we had to eventually go to the bar to pay so we could carry on elsewhere. Also narked to later notice a special offer on the menu which included exactly what we'd ordered but we were still charged full price? Bit mean for newcomers we thought. So, a few gripes but starter & mains were very good and cocktails were fab in happy hour.

Very good food, with unusual dishes and tastes. Excellent, friendly service with a smile. Have had many enjoyable visits - for both lunch and dinner. Highly recommended.

Very welcoming and friendly Moroccan restaurant offering an excellent fixed price Sunday lunch meze and mixed grill. Very relaxed atmosphere and just enough attention. As Old York Road venues go, this is an excellent place to enjoy a chilled out family lunch.

We had a great meal on Friday night at Doukan, super service with delicious food. Will be back soon.Thank you

good food but nothing impressive, good service, good environment and location, in a nice area and road; average price, around 30 pounds per person

I've been to Doukan on numerous occasions and it never fails to let me down! Not the cheapest, admittedly, but the dishes are excellent. Be sure to try the B'stilla starter (best I've had in London) and the Chicken Tarragon main. A great venue for date nights, families and friends!

Amazing!!!! Excellent Food and service. Best dessert I ever had in my life! !!! Filo with chocolate and ice cream

I walked past a new market stall outside Kings Cross Station in central London that is run by Doukan. Never seen the stall or name before but the food looked inviting so purchased a small item for lunch "on the go". Food was wonderful and I went back later in the day to find out who was behind the stall to discover it is run by the Doukan restaurant. I will visit for a "real" meal and if it's as good as their take away stall then this will be a real find.

The staff were very pleasant and attentive. The food was absolutely lovely, good portions very filling. The place is very presentable lovely decor! Top restaurant

A friend suggested doukan for my anniversary and what a good choice!! The food is outstanding we had the meze platter to start then a beautiful lamb tagine,the portion are very good ,the service is friendly and attentive. They really made my night special..will recommend this restaurant anytime!!

mid ranged price food, lovely atmosphere and very hospitable staff. Guaranteed to be treated well every time. Go for the Lime and tarragon chicken, best value for money dish! Also get the hummous, just a par above any

We've been to Doukan several times and the food has always been excellent. The a la carte menu is very good as is the buffet on a Sunday. The atmosphere and service has always been top notch.

I visited Doukan with high hopes, if it's good enough for Gordan Ramsey then it's more than good enough for me I though!The restaurant has a really nice feel, a little bit dark but definitely cosy with an open fire at one end. Service was prompt an the staff very helpful and polite. Food is good, not mind blowing but nice enough. The problem though, where was the rest of it?? I opted for the 2 courses for £20 deal as the waiter suggested which may have meant I received smaller than usual portions but there needed to be about 50% more on my plate. I can't recall a time where I've left a restaurant after 3 courses and still been hungry, so much so that I went straight across the road into the supermarket and brought a huge bag of crisps.

Having just moved into the area, we went searching for somewhere to eat with a difference. The Moroccan Doukan restaurant looked very inviting so we asked for a table for 2. The staff were highly proficient and polite and explained the menu options available. Being Sunday, a buffet was one of the choices which we decided to try. We were not disappointed. The quality of the food was amazing and there was such a huge choice. For only £19.95, there was unlimited visits to the buffet for starter main and desert and a free glass of Prosceco. The ambience of the venue was first class with a roaring fire and tasteful music. A highly recommended restaurant which we will certainly be visiting on a regular basis.

Went to Doukan on Sunday for lunch. The buffet looked amazing - eat as much as you want for £15. We were very tempted and then the menu arrived and I chose the meatball tagine and my friend chose the chicken - it was outstanding as usual. The atmosphere was lovely - the place was packed and there was a roaring open fire in the back room which made it feel lovely and cosy on the cold afternoon.The prices are very reasonable though they do add a service charge - which was pointed out to me when I went to pay and wanted to add a tip - pity as I wanted to give them double what the service charge was! It's an amazing place and we often go there for breakfast which is beautifully presented and very tasty.

My husband and I had a Sunday morning breakfast here a couple of weeks ago and liked it so much we brought our children for Saturday evening dinner last weekend. The menu is authentic and yet inspired, the food fresh and very appetising, the service friendly and welcoming, the ambience is perfect, and all the customers feel loved - what more could you want?!

Very good restaurant ,nice cosy atmosphere and amazing food : I had meze plater to start then the prawn tagine..delicious ... Good friendly service .. Will recommend doukan to my friend !

I have been going to Doukan for years and enjoying its tasty food and wine. Having been to Morocco three time I realise more than even how authentic it is. It does a great value lunch too. The service is always very good especially when the proprietor's wife Isabella is handling the order - she is wonderfully welcoming and delightful. Highly recommended,

We had faultless service and a nice meal meal. This is not the best Moroccan in London but if you live close by this should be come a staple to your local restaurants that you visit. Price reflected quality of food and proportion size.

My husband and I loved this restaurant the staff are very nice and not intrusive, the food is amazing we had their special offer dinner meal for 2 at £29.95 very tastyand so much food ! the atmosphere was so Moroccan and we felt so good...highly recommend doukan !!

The staff are quite nice and we had loads of food and it was okay. I would have liked slightly bigger portions, but it tasted all right and you could tell what each dish was. The deserts were good, but a bit over sweet, like the house coffee. The loos were disappointing and could do with a good deep clean.It would have been nice if the staff had told us about the special offer when we went in as we would of had that and saved a lot of cost on the meal and had more, so it's OK, but not, that good.

friendly service and pretty good value compared to a lot of places in london its not ultra cheap but you wouldn't get food of this quality for cheaper. the lamb tajine was amazing and had a really rich flavour it wasnt heavily spiced but had an amazing rich lamb flavour and the meat was so tender. staff was very friendly, I went because had seen it on tv and have been to quite a few from the same series and this was defintly one of the better ones from that. would definitely recommend.

We loved this restaurant for its ambience , free wifi, friendly staff and above all good quality food. The tajine was very tasty.Have visited for breakfast - great flatbread - and dinner. Very cosy in the evenings.We're going to go back for the weekend brunch soon.Wandsworth is a great location and very easy and quick to get to from Waterloo !Well worth a visit,

i had a fantastic expirience! the food is realy good , great atmosphier and a excelent service, especially the sweet blonde girl. she is so fast and helpful! i recommend!!

Visited Doukans restaurant last night and had an amazing time !! The staff were so helpful and happy and the food was just out of this world. It's a really relaxing atmosphere and a nice chilled vibe. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and I look forward to eating there again (sooner rather then later).If you are in the area I would REALLY recommend Doukans for a great night out with great food and a great atmosphere topped off with great service....10/10

This local neighbourhood restaurant oozes atmosphere and is rightly popular with locals. The food is delicious and staff are unfailingly pleasant however service can be a little slow and if you go too often you'll realise the menu rarely changes. The owner works really hard to make sure everyone has a really good experience. If he could add a bit more variation to the menu and perhaps include some specials then it would be spot on.

I came across this restaurant while waiting for my son one afternoon. Had only planned to have a coffee but the food looked so nice that I ordered a Moroccan chicken salad, and was not disappointed. This was very tasty and packed with flavours such as feta cheese, croutons and a delicious citrus dressing. I sat at a table outside and spent a very pleasant hour or so here. I would definitely eat here again.

This unassuming restaurant on a small high street by Wandsworth town train station is an absolute find. Seriously if you live in the area (or can travel to the area) it's a must visit sort of place. The food is divine. Moroccan dishes bursting with flavours. Nothing overpowering - nothing artificial. Just beautiful fresh well cooked food. The decor is very chic and the ambience is chilled and informal. I've been a number of times and the best dish they ever made was a Moroccan twist on a lamb Sunday roast where the lamb fell off the bone and melted in your mouth. Yum!!!Service can be a little slow and inattentive - the waiting staff are not of the same high calibre as the manager and kitchen staff. Something I forgive them of but maybe some customers wouldn't - a point for improvement. As I say if you are after a great restaurant in Wandsworth or a Moroccan in south west London the this is the first place you should visit. I'll be back as I have been a number of times.

We had a great time. We organised a party with Doukan as our venue and everything was excellent - food, service, music, drinks. In particular, the 'nibbles' were delicious and all our guests were impressed and well feed. Big thank you the Khalil and his team. Cannot recommend this place enough. Additionally I hear they do a killer breakfast!

When entering into the restaurant, you just feel well ; you know one of those places where you receive good vibes : colours, music, deco...I went there for a Full Breakfast (with a little twist !) : original,, and so fresh ! For sure everything is home-made here although prices are really cheap.The menus for lunch and dinner also look very attractiveA bit far for me to come here on a weekly basis but for sure I would recommend.

A Moroccan restaurant with an interior reminiscent of "Casablanca", the food is quite simply wonderful. As good as anything we have ever eaten in Morocco itself, in particular the Chicken Basilla starter is absolutely heavenly. Can't wait to return, highly recommended.

We go to Doukan for Sunday breakfast and sit outside. The food is fantastic and the service is great too. We have never ever been disappointed and we eat there often!

Doukan is my favourite restaurant in South West London (what a statement!) I have tried almost every dish on the menu and the food is always spot on; extremely flavoursome, tender and a generous portion. If you're trying Doukan for the first time, I'd recommend opting for the sharing platter to start followed by a tagine and if you have room, the chocolate filo pastry cigars.The staff are very friendly and efficient. The decor is beautiful and very authentic, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. Those seeking somewhere to while away a Sunday afternoon, head to Doukan for their Sunday Buffet. Its incredible value and allows you to try a little bit of everything.I've now moved to the North East and would be grateful if the owners of Doukan could open up in Newcastle. I'd certainly be back for another helping of Moroccan delights.

Such a pretty little restaurant, very cosy and romantic in the winter. The food is so delicious with lots of lovely exotic flavours and very reasonably priced. The only thing that lets it down is that once your main course arrives, they forget you exist! I have been a few times and will definitely go back. If you are near Wandsworth, I would highly recommend it!

Went here on the off chance while walking past with friends last night. Sat outside on the street and as there are a few other restaurants with seating outside it creates a really nice environment ( not too busy but some buzz). Had a mixed moorish starter which was good and then a truly amazing lamb tagine. Very relaxed and friendly service. Came to about £30 a head and well worth it.Try it!

We had a beautiful Moroccan buffet with family and friends at Doukan's last Sunday to celebrate my daughter’s Holy Communion. I know that i like Moroccan food however i was a bit nervous about that as i was taking about 20 people of all ages and most of them had never experienced that sort of food. The venue is modern Moorish ( i was told that it had just been renovated) with a homely feeling at the same time. Khalil, the owner, prepared for us from slowly cooked lamb to aubergines marinated in olive oil, pomegranate, mint and vinegar; lentil and and roasted pumpkin dip; broccoli fritters; fried courgettes and roasted peppers in cumin and coriander and more....The food was just divine, plenty of different flavours well combined together and beautiful colours reminiscent of the Mediterranean and the service matched it by being professional, friendly but not intrusive. Everyone felt very relaxed and just loved the food. I will definitely go back there "en tete a tete" with my wife or just for a drink with friends although i don't think i will resist the temptation of a few Moroccan tapas!! Thank you Khalil for making it such a memorable day for us all!

I had a delicious meal here with colleagues when we spent a night in Wandsworth. Really tasty food. Friendly and helpful service and a very pleasant evening as a result. I would certainly visit again if I am in the area.

We visited Doukan a few weeks ago for the Sunday lunch buffet, £15 per head for buffet plus dessert. Very nice food and beautifully cooked roast lamb! Lovely desserts baklava, pastries and fresh fruit :) beers however were on the pricey side but they have to make their money somewhere as the food is good value, will definately be returning! Thank you Doukan :)

We went to this restaurant before and really enjoyed the food and service. It's been redecorated and it's even better now. Lovely deco and atmosphere.The food and service, as before, were excellent!Well done!

Had a truly delicious harissa chicken wrap at last weekends Foodies festival in Marbel Hill. I also bought some amazing Chicken Bastillas which may now be my favourite food. I am kicking myself for living so near by and never going in, and can't wait to bring my friends in to show them what I have been raving about for the past 24 hours!

A friend recommended Doukan to me several years ago and I finally got there and was not disappointed, in fact I was seriously impressed..... the food was simply delicious.. we had the whole shabang which included a mouthwateringly good prawn appetizer, seriously the tastiest prawns I've eaten; my lamb tagine was slow cooked and succulent; my partner was delighted to find Pollack on the menu, a dish he described as divine; two lovely bottles of wine and a sticky fig sauce pudding and chocolate cigars later we made our contented way home with a feeling of warmth in our hearts, what a lovely host and a lovely evening, what eating is all about!

We unfortunately got caught in a horrible rain shower and got soaked, so we decided to stop off and get some mint tea and a snack. We have never been here before, but there was a lovely welcome and we had a nice warm cup of mint tea and some delicious mezze between lunch and dinner.Excellent, will definitely return.

always a warm welcome.unpretentious.eat here at least once a month.service and food consistently good.

Just finished a Sunday buffet at Doukan. It was really, really good. A good variety of dishes including a lamb joint which tasted great. Buffet also includes deserts for £15 all in. I think it is good value considering what is on offer. Fruit smoothies are also really nice and very fresh.Services is also good.Will definitely go again.

The food tasted phenomenal. They are arguably serving the best Moroccan in London. The staff are friendly as well. Granted it's off the bearing track...but it's well worth the trip. I recommend a visit.

Nous sommes venue un jeudi soir , décor magnifique ,super ambiance ,tous les jeudi soir ils ont un Dj et une offre sur les cocktails ( moitié prix) et ils offrent des canapés gratuits ... Le service est efficace et discret...depuis je recommande doukan a tous mes amis de Londres ...

Party of 4, all had different starters and mains. Everyone enjoyed the food and the great friendly service

Food is very nice but they overcharge for drinks which makes the bill quite expensive. We paid nearly £8 for a glass of house white wine. Definitely a bit cheeky.

I visited this restaurant in March with my partner. My first impressions were that the decor was good quality and genuinely Moroccan. I had a good feeling about the restaurant. The service was ok, we waited a bit long for our food order to be taken but that was no biggie. The main issue here is the food. Firstly the food for me was a tad expensive. This is relative of course but I would advise checking the menu online before you go to see whether you are ok with the prices. Secondly I was a little disappointed with the food quality which was definitely good but not outstanding. Also the portions were small with small or no complimentary sides. Overall a mixed bag really, good venue, above average service but average food particularly the cost.

Fabulous! From the cocktails, to the food, to the wine choice and even the yummy moroccan tea. I am a Wandsorth local, and we love coming here!

Hadn't been here for several years but going back I wasn't disappointed. The dishes are truly delicious, the atmosphere welcoming and the service excellent. Highly recommended.

I’d read good things about Doukan and hadn’t eaten Moroccan food for quite some time. We were welcomed by the owner Khalil, the larger than life host who offered us a warm welcome and was hospitable and accommodating throughout.Our entourage went on a Saturday evening and included in the deal was half a bottle of wine (or two bottles of beer) per person (had we known this we wouldn’t have spent as much at the bar before our meal!). Starters were terrific; thankfully the waiter brought platters so we could get stuck in to each, I’d advise you ask for the same as each of them are delicious (crispy broccoli and lamb sausages in particular).As for the main dishes, again these were first rate. I had a Djaj Mechoui; a wonderful marinated, chargrilled chicken. Beautifully prepared and with a wonderful more-ish (or should I say Moorish) taste. I should add that service throughout was brilliant with the staff very helpful and the charming Khalil ensuring sure that our needs were met.On the whole we had an excellent evening. The bar on its own is a stylish affair so you get the best of both worlds. We were really pleased to find that our receipt included 50% off our next dish provided we book within 28 days; that, we are more than happy to do and will return even without a discount.Fully worth a visit.

We ate at this beautiful restaurant saturday night and the food was wonderful,the staff were extremely attentive and helpful and the whole experience was just fantastic! will return on our next visit to the uk..

i went the friday night they reopened after christmas,the bar looked amazing,moder,funky,cosy and warm...the food was really tasty we had the mezze plater,the athmosphere was relaxed,i really enjoyed my evening,will be back very soon!!...

This is a genuine and unpretentious restaurant, I have been there quite a few times but finally decided to write a review as I think it really deserves it. The food is simply delicious. Although the service had been frustratingly slow in the past, it is currently very good: friendly and efficient. The decoration is typical Moroccan, with a very elegant touch, and the place is warm and spacious. The owners, Moroccan and French, are very welcoming and the price is right. Everything tastes very natural and home-made. Excellent Buffet-Brunch on Sundays!

This place looks great - like a proper Moroccan restaurant. The food they have on the menu seems authentic - tagine and the like.Unfortunately, despite a comfortable table, and lovely atmosphere, the food was pretty average and nothing to write home about. Most depressing was that the authentic Moroccan dishes that *should* have been good just weren't.We had the mixed platter for starters which was pretty nice. Lovely battered vegetables, lamb sausages and little stuffed pastry things. Good so far.For my main course I had a tagine. I'm no expert on tagines, but when I've had them before the 'wizards hat' top is lifted off to reveal a delicious mix of cous cous, vegetables and meat. With Doukan's tagine I got meat balls and a poached egg floating in a tomatoey sauce. Cous cous I have to order as a side.Sure- I expected all of that - what I didn't expect was just how tasteless the different elements of the dish were. The meat wasn't seasoned at all, and the tomato jus was very watery.The cous cous also was tasteless and not really worth ordering.So - all in all really disappointing. On the plus side, we were treated very well, and service was quick and efficient.

We cannot recommend this restraunt highly enough. We were made to feel welcome from the minute we arrived. Food flavoursome, service excellent. Lovely real fire too. Thanks for a memorable evening.

what a lovely surprise to have find this restaurant...outstanding food(amazing merguese and tender lamb),excellent service and lovely atmosphere...very good mid -week offer 2 course meal and a glass of wine £19.99...will return and recommend Doukan to my friend with no hesitation !!

Another wonderful evening spent enjoying the warmth and opulence of Doukan, which was much appreciated, as the rain of an English autumn evening torrented down outside. The ambience is cosy and warm, bathed in candlelight and the comfort of the banquet seating added to the pleasure. My companion and I chose the three course menu, which included a glass of Prosecco and half a bottle of wine each, as well as canapés and then full choice from the menu at each of the three courses - exceptionally good value at £30 per head. The food was delicious; we shared the mixed platter of starters, which contained a taste of virtually every starter on the menu - homemade humous, lamb parcels wrapped in wafer thin pastry, accompanied by a date sauce, hot merguez sausages, as well as many others. My companied then enjoyed the slow cooked lamb with spicy couscous and tomato jam, whilst I tucked into my lamb tagine with prunes and apricots, which was succulent, tender and beautifully spiced. Although there is a wide choice of desserts, we were both feeling very well fed by this point and opted for the selection of Moroccan pastries, stuffed with dates and walnuts, mint tea and Moroccan coffee - the perfect way to end our sumptuous meal! A lovely memorable evening at which we were made to feel very welcome, not least because the owner and chef is very much in evidence and is involved in every detail, thus maintaining the high standards already set. He also seems to know all his clients and greets them all individually. Doukan also offers a wonderful Sunday lunch of mouth-watering, falling off the bone, slow cooked lamb, with raison gravy, which I have enjoyed on several occasions and would thoroughly recommend.

what a great find. the food was amazing we shared a vegetarian platter to start followed by lamb . the staff where really friendly and welcoming.

I have now been here several times as I am here on business for a few months. I'm working my way through the menu and haven't a bad word to say. The food is outstanding, service excellent and the atmosphere great. I have also brought my wife here and for one who doesn't eat meat very much she demolished the lamb (very tender) very readily. I've also tried the vegetarian dishes and been very impressed. The £19.95 for two courses is great value.

We had caught doukan down on the south bank and been wowed by the freshness and quantity, a friend recommended going to resturant and we were pleased with the same flavours and tastes there. The 19.95 taste menu with the glass of prosecco to clear your palate is such good value. The rice was cooked perfectly and the flavours worked perfectly.And then it got better, we went to the Chili festival at Bennington Lordship and they had a pop up resturant there, I can throughly recommend the chicken wrap and my wife had the cheese and seasoned meat flat bread, not much left there!! Flavours were so good that we bought some of their Harrisa paste, we had seen theirs sauces before, at the reatueant, but not sure what to do with them but the owner took time to talk us through the marinade options, but it was the tastes that made us buy it overall. Enjoy!!

hunting out these gems is great fun around sw london, the other being the new lebanese on queenstown rd sw8. this is an authentic morroccan style interior (no carpet sellers, fortunately fyi) in a pleasant road of independent shops (except costas!). the key here, i think, is that the owner manages the place. delicious looking baklava on the front counter greeted us. i have noted the most recent post about the "woeful food". we went 12 days ago and enjoyed the well cooked food that we ordered from a menu that we could have chosen many dishes from. needless to say this is not a restaurant with a particularly interesting wine list, but the Meantime pale ale beer was excellent. nice ambiance and wholeheartedly recommended!

I'm afraid I didn't enjoy the food here at all. The atmosphere is nice and the crowd is good but the food - for starters we ordered the mixed meat and veg platter. It was greasy and the flavours were all over the place, not in a nice way. For mains we had the cumin kebab and the lamb was overcooked, tough and flavourless. The rice was still a bit raw. All in all a horrible meal. A shame as like I said the ambience and atmosphere is good.

Doukan is one of my favourite restaurants in London, tucked away and on a lovely little street the restaurant offers delicious food, warm and authentic hospitality. I recently had my leaving London party at the restaurant and was thoroughly impressed by the teams service.Great shot for a romantic dinner or party. Everyone needs to experience Doukan!! and it is on top of my list of places to revisit next time I am in London.

Went here for lunch yesterday, sat in a very nice 4 seater outside table, the service was very good we ordered a mix mezze 5 portions for £20 and a bottle of wine finished of meal with coffee. The food was very good and wine good value only small point when we ordered coffee we got a large coffee each we were not asked what size we would like.Would go back again great spot.

This is a great restaurant with really good service. The food was fabulous too. I was a bit disappointed that the Lamb Tagine was not available as I had been looking forward to having that all day!! However, the chicken tagine was lovely. We had the mixed platter between three for a starter which was plenty. The restaurant was quiet as it was Wednesday , but the atmosphere was still really nice and relaxed.All in all a very nice evening and I would definitely go back

This is an atmospheric local on our doorstep. We had visited once before one evening when the focus seemed to be more on the bar where the emphasis was on creating a funky vibe in a slightly dark atmosphere. However at lunchtime it was a bright space with a very welcoming French waitress. There was an extensive choice of food ranging from wraps to tagines. I sampled the set lunch menu enjoying a tuna and potato salad which was exquisite lay presented and very tasty. This was followed by a seafood paella. My wife enjoyed a chicken tagine; my daughter some spicy morgues sausages with a side order of chips. I noticed some enticing breakfast pastries on the way out. Clearly a restaurant which caters chameleon-like to different diners at different times of day.
