Kenza Restaurant in City of London, Westminster

The belly dancer on Sunday (10th November) was excellent and needs a raise. The cocktails and food were stunning. Especially the halloumi with fig and pistachios. As it was a Sunday it was really quiet we've been before on a very busy night and it's a completely different vibe. The place is stunning, the food is great and there is a great choice in wine and cocktails. We were sat in a lovely booth as it wasn't busy on a Sunday and the belly dancer was really engaging. Would recommend for all special occasions as it's definitely on the pricey side, but worth every penny

Was lovely. Only disappointment was that the Baba ghannouj didn't have much flavor but everything else was nice ☺️

Excellent what can I say 😀 definitely coming back here in future 😀

Amazing dining and musical experience. I went there for my girl friend’s bday party. From start to finish, everything was perfection. Flavourful and colourful food; super attentive waiters and cheerful belly dancers. We went to the dance floor after dinner because the music was so fire !!! Props to the dj! Thank you team Kenza for making my girl Emma’s 26 bday, a very special one for the book.

The food was delicious especially the meat dishes and how they are cooked provided such a lovely succulent taste. The ambience with the music and entertainment plus the nice authentic seating experience are unique and nice to relax in with the customer. Lovely place and lovely people! They are more then happy to help with a special occasion. And the drinks and well made too with a nice lounge area too !

Very very nice place amazing location great staff top customer service loving the food the atmosphere was nice it's just totally got the wow factor

Amazing dining experience. Will definitely come here again especially on a Friday night/weekends. It was my first visit to this restaurant and me and my friends absolutely enjoyed it. The delicious food, atmosphere and entertainment were all really good, loved the belly dancer! The staff was really helpful in explaining the menu and he was really friendly to our table and served us with a smile. We had an epic night out and I will definitely return with an entourage of friends.

Genuinely love this place. Hidden away gem! The cocktails are great and so is the lemonade! Food is lovely, lots of options and great flavours. Very helpful on the gluten free side of things as well when we ordered and again when it came to the table. They have a belly dancing act which was great! And really helps build the atmosphere as well. We will definitely be back!

Good Kofte wrap, the rest was subpar: salad didn't look fresh, potatoes likely to be cooked from frozen, flatbread very dry. Timely delivery, well packaged. In short, quality is decent but overpriced, though the wrap platter is good value for money.

Amazing place! The dishes were super good and the atmosphere was great! Special mention for the DJ ☺️

I had preconceptions about this place but the food and atmosphere was outstanding. Hiba the waitress took excellent care of us

Great service, belly dance show, team checking on table with smile, politeness, everyone in my group loved it! Food is amazing. This was our 2nd visit! Will come back for 3rd

The food was super yummy we got the sharing grill platter, hommos, rice and potatoes! The belly dancing was super fun, gorgeous women, extremely talented, the music was super fun and the service was immaculate! First time and it won’t be the last time, recommend!

Loved it!! Charismatic atmosphere transports you to the middle east, matched with efficient service and impeccable food.

It is really superb food and excellent value for Devonshire Square. Little hard to find as you have to search the square a little. But you will be so glad you searched, you will be pleased. Downstairs area pick the mezze selection and get a little of everything. Super super food, service a bit slow on occasion but it does get busy. I'm not a massive fan of the belly dancers. They don't need it because the food is good. But won't dismiss their choices as the location is lively and competitive.

Amazing restaurant, super welcoming. Thank you very much Ramzi, the couscous was wow cooked, welcome 10/10.

The entertainment was phenomenal but the price for the portion size is actually unacceptable definitely not enough food but what you get is tasty. The portion for two people is perhaps enough for just 1 and even then it's lacking

no hummus, no salad, no pickles, no bread, came with order??? terrible for the price... how can you call it wrap with no bread?

Great food. Fantastic service Great atmosphere. Enjoyed live performances.

Kenza is on first table so you can come for 50% off food if you book via that. Food was great and there’s belly dancing too! The lamb main portion size was a bit small though but since we had discount, it didn’t matter. Nice vibe and lovely staff.

The most awful customer service I experienced in a long time. I called on Sunday to enquire if children are allowed on a Friday evening. I was told yes. I called on Monday to book, it was only at that point I am told that I can stay in the restaurant for 2 hours only (fairly common). However the guy on the phone said he will make an exception and let us stay until 9 pm and he said he has made a note that he will allow the child until 9 pm. I should say I don’t mean a 6/7 year old. I get a call on Tuesday, now I am told I need to pre-order the food. Why I was not told this in the first place, it would have saved me having to go back to the group asking for their choices. I then call to enquire if the child has to order from feast menu or is there a child menu. The lady on the phone now tells me children are not allowed past 7 pm. I tell her the gentleman that I spoke on the phone with said something different. She wasn’t interested. Tell the customer everything he/she needs to know and make your mind up about the rules.

Nice atmosphere, and most of the plates were tasty Would come again for sure

So disappointing, Kenza has been my goto restaurant for done time. I visited a few months ago and had a poor experience due to menu changes. I revised in the hope the new menu had been 'tweaked'. Sadly, it hadn't. I've never ordered essentially a chicken kebab that wax just that, chicken, no sides. For £22, you would expect rice or something to go with it. It'd essentially £30 for a chicken kebab and they have the audacity to add 12.5% service charge. I'm sorry Kenza, but that's just not acceptable. There are many other restaurants in the area that are far more reasonable.

Absolutely loved this restaurant I’ll definitely be back, great service, delicious food, great atmosphere, highly recommend this place

Amazing food! Very authentic and very tasty Entertainment with dancers was fantastic All staff very friendly and efficient Atmosphere was great

Food was lovely. Would definitely recommend getting their sharing platters. They are so worth it. Atmosphere was lovely and the staff were so attentive.

The rice was veryyyyyyyy plain. I would give 1 star if it wasn’t for the service and atmosphere. Food was too bland for my liking, you need more spices and flavour in your meats, chicken, rice and everything. Strawberry lemonade was amazing though.

Sometimes a treat is necessary. The staff are so attentive that even dining alone is amazing. The menu is superb and I had something from each part. The meat is cooked to perfection. The wine menu is also recommended. I went on a Monday and enjoyed the entertainment- belly dancing she was so good. So it's definitely worth asking if there is dancing when you book. The restaurant itself is beautiful - a real find

I asked to have a nice table for a special family occasion; we were seated in a very nice, secluded table. Tarik was our waiter and he was very friendly and welcoming! Food and cocktails were great! Thank you for making our evening so beautiful!

I have come to this place too many times and recently came for my 1 year anniversary ! The food is exceptionally amazing and the you can never be disappointed with the atmosphere !

Really cool place very central but also very hidden. Sorry for the silly wording in this phrase but being underground and different atmosphere overall it really felt like an oasis away from the hustle and bustle.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Kenza Restaurant , and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The moment we walked in, I was captivated by the vibrant atmosphere, complete with stunning belly dancing performances that added an exotic touch to the evening. The food was absolutely delicious. The variety was impressive, with succulent chicken, tender beef, and flavorful lamb , all perfectly cooked and seasoned. The chicken wings were a particular highlight, crispy on the outside yet juicy and flavorful inside. The extraordinary salad was fresh, vibrant, and the perfect complement to the rich meats. The drinks menu was extensive, offering a wide range of options to suit every taste. Each drink was crafted with care, adding to the overall dining experience. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, making sure that every guest felt welcome and well taken care of. Their service added a personal touch that made the evening even more enjoyable. Overall, Kenza Restaurant is a fantastic place for a memorable night out. Whether you're there for the mouth-watering food, the lively entertainment, or the warm hospitality, you're guaranteed to have a great time, that's how we felt, and we'll be coming back soon. Thank you 💐

This place is honestly such a hidden gem! You feel like you’ve been transported into another country , the aesthetic of the whole place is so mesmerising. I went there for their Music & Mezze Sunday which is their Mezze bottomless brunch and it was amazing! Their mezze is one of the best I’ve ever had, it really captured that authentic Lebanese flavour perfectly. They also do the most amazing cocktails and mocktails (and their food is fully halal). You need to visit them on a Sunday for their bottomless brunch! It’s such a unique experience , which I’ll definitely be doing again. There service was also incredible and they had the nicest live music playing which really added to the vibe.

Food was very tasty. Service was good and we enjoyed the belly dancing. Going with a group of friends was the best way to experience this.

Food was well prepared and delicious. Tarik had excellent service skills. Filling food, energetic entertainment and atmosphere! DJ was really great too! Hidden treasure that you will not be disappointed about. They can accommodate dinner for 1, 2 or up to 20!

Lamb Targine was outstanding!!!!! Can’t wait till we’re back in London to dine again at Kenya. Thank you for a great experience. - D&F

An authentic middle eastern gem. Having lived in the Middle East for almost a decade made me miss their food and hospitality, but at Kenza I felt at home. The service is impeccable and the food is cooked to perfection, with subtle and delicate spices mixes. The customer service was wonderful too, with dedication and great attention . The shish tawook was wonderful, also the tabbouleh (parsley salad), and the chicken tagine stew. We will be back!

We went to kenza for a birthday meal set menu cost us 43.50 which was so disappointing small tiny plates to eat your started on limited choice as well . Then the worse main I have had lots of rice with a sad looking aubergine on top of it with some veg curry I did not finish it and for dessert small bite size pastries to share . It is said set meal per person but it’s shared. I was most dissatisfied when I ordered a gin and tonic the waiter came back with a double I said to him is this double he said yes you did not ask for a single so we give double , one way of making money and didn’t offer to change it as well I paid 11.95 for that in total ended up paying 60£ with the service charge def not going here again too dark and seating bad management need to revamp menu and lighting price.

Exciting belly dancing and very tasty food, a bit on the expensive side.

This place is located on the lower level. The atmosphere was unique but the food was outstanding! Highly recommend the mixed grill platter. The lamb was cooked to perfection and the kebab was great. Highly recommend.

Great food, great service, amazing atmosphere and ambient....but...but darn too expensive....for 4 people it was £40.00 a person just for all vegetarian food....and no alcohol ...just looking at the price afterwards I was shocked....evening robbery....no wonder their was only 4 tables booked for a Saturday evening...dead quiet...

One of my favourite places in London. It's like you enter a different world. The ambience is amazing. The service is very attentive and the food is very delicious. I have been to this restaurant many times and I will definitely come back.

Hard to find, as it's downstairs in a series of restaurants, but food was excellent. Mix drinks were just ok. Waiter did not explain the menu very well, so ordering was a bit confusing. Belly dancing was a fun addition.

Loved it here. The food was great and the service was class too. A special mention to Tarik, Anmol and the team that took care of us on the night!

I’m very particular on the restaurants I visit as it’s not just about the quality of the food but the ambience and service plays a part in the overall experience. I must say Kenza absolutely nailed it! Everything was perfect and they made our birthday experience extra special. If you want delicious food, relaxing ambiance, great entertainment and fantastic service then Kenza is your place.

Came on Saturday 18th May for a friends 40th. The food was exceptional. Service was very good. Food came in good time and drinks arrived quickly after ordering which I find rare these days tbh! Entertainment was also good and made it a fantastic atmosphere. Will definately return again when back in London.

Food was ok, not great. Some of the ingredients just didn't taste very fresh. A couple dishes were disappointing. Way over-priced for what it was. However, great decor and ambience, and the belly-dancing entertainment was a nice surprise. Unless they halve the prices or dramatically improve the food quality, I won't eat there again.

We all the way around 11pm they said no food kitchen closed waste of time

Food is nice, good selection, lovely mint tea. Not always that busy when I've gone there. Friendly staff. Belly dancer sometimes.

Nice ambience, service and food options. Good place for a get together, client meeting or a date. Highly recommend.

Food is really nice but the service wasn’t quick at all. The atmosphere was authentic and was really clean

Would come back a million times over, they made my dads birthday so special. The food was brilliant, atmosphere was fun and the staff amazingly accommodating and attentive! They made the occasion feel extra special and I would 100% recommend the mango cheesecake, it was delicious!

Beautiful decor , amazing food , good service and atmosphere a very good find in Liverpool Street area

Very nice mediterranean restaurant with lovely ambiance starting from 8pm

Everything about this place is great. All the staff, food, ambience, location, decoration all! Would love 2 return with my mates in bigger group. Great place for parties too

After three visits, I can confirm that this is one of the best middle eastern/lebanese restaurants to eat from. All the food is fresh and full of flavour. The settings around you make you feel as though you are in another country. The dancing and music for the guests entertainment is always good. Would recommend to everyone :)

The food was very tasty and the service was great. Thanks to Tariq!

Absolutely love the food and the ambience. Great service. We have the Mashawy feast. It was just outstanding! Expensive but totally worth it

Food is great Mashawy platter for 2, nice hidden spot underground and there is a lot of space when we went.

It’s very good with the belly dancers, you should I recommend going at night

What a great place. 4 of us went for lunch and although the place was rather quiet on a Wednesday lunchtime, if full, the atmosphere would be buzzing. Belly dancer on certain evenings apparently. Decor superb and service was excellent. The food was amazing. We went for the £55 Meze, which was superb….the lamb melted in the mouth. Great, great place. We all loved it. Will be back. Make sure you have the Persian wine. Wow.

Great spot. Wonderful food and a lovely service. This was a business booking and it went very well. Thank you!

The food was ok. Chicken was soft and moist but the lamb kofte and lamb cubes were very overcooked. The atmosphere was good. One thing to note for Muslims looking to go, they offer a iftari special. That being said, During Ramadan why are you still doing belly dancing? I don't need to explain why this was a shock to us but it certainly didn't help make our Iftari meal feel comfortable. There's a time and a place for these things and Ramadan isn't the time to have belly dancing. Give the women a break along with your eyes. I also think the price was very expensive for what you get. The dessert was awful and underwhelming.

Had an amazing tine here for mothers day. Food was incredible, the waiter was really attentive and took time to explain the menu!

Very disappointed Iftar menu had nothing to remind the iftar No soup , no Ramadan dishes.. The food served was dry and the salad not fresh .. the cakes at the end were dry and not tasty … the service was very ordinary:( Big disappointment

We did the Mashawy platter for 2. The hummus and baba ghanoush were delicious. The mixed meat plate that came with the platter was very good and we enjoyed the small desserts that came out at the end. A little bit of everything across the board made us very happy. Large and interesting restaurant in the basement of the building.

From start to finish, the experience with Kenza was exceptional. Getting the (work group) booking sorted and finessed (as people were added/pulled out) was efficient - and patient! The food was exceptional - all members of a fairly diverse party (of 10) were impressed with the quality and quantity of food, as well as the broad array of dishes which catered to different requirements. The service was excellent, and the entertainment was enjoyable and pitched at the right level. Would come back in any group size or just with 2 of us!

i had a delightful experience at the restaurant yesterday. The atmosphere was really beautiful. additionally the service was exceptional it was my first visit and the staff member went above and beyond to help me understand the menu in detail.

Belly dancer entertainment that invites guests to dance. Good Turkish and Middle Eastern food. Loved the shaksou sausage, my baba ganoush ended up as hummus and the server who took our order did not ask if we wanted sides when we ordered our grilled mains so we hastily had to order sides when our grilled meat mains arrived. Liked the layout and the decor and the belly dancer was the icing.

Kenza is the place to be if you are looking for an Arab/middle eastern cuisine and experience. Just amazing. The atmosphere is spectacular. Enjoy a dinner with a belly dance show. Service is great and the place is just lovely!

Dear Team Kenza, A heartfelt THANK YOU for an absolutely incredible evening. You all made my birthday so special and we LOVED every moment ! From placing the booking to the night in question, nothing was too much trouble - the service, food, atmosphere, music was just extraordinary. Each one of my 21 guests complimented the evening and were blown away. You truly are an example of one of the finest venues here in London and should be very proud of everything you do. Thanks once again, and see you again soon.

Delicious food, great ambience, and our waiter Younes was very attentive and served us well. Cocktails were made to a high standard. Really enjoyed it here for my 40th birthday party. Highly recommend 👌

Perfect ! nothing negative to say, it is worth the price.

Food wise: Got 3 stars as the portions should be bigger considering the prices. Flavour wise, food was a bit bland for us, but might suit those who prefer their food not too seasoned/flavoured The restaurant is beautiful, makes you feel like you stepped out of the busy city of London and into the middle east. Not very wheel chair friendly as you have to go down 3 flights of stairs, no lift. We came with a toddler, during off peak hours on a week day and it was quiet which was nice when with a child. Feedback would be to increase the portion sizes, have some sauces on table for those who want to add a little extra flavour/spice to their food. And keep an eye on the toilets as someone left one of the toilets very dirty (why are some customers like this?😴😴) I would come back to get the night life experience and try the other food on the menu.

Went here as part of a large party for business. What a great experience. 3 fantastic courses with plentiful portions, great atmosphere and entertainment. Will certainly let go again.

We had our belated team Christmas party at Kenza on Friday evening. From the moment we booked till the moment we left everything was spot on. The food was excellent, the sercice was attentive, warm professional (special thanks to Addi) and the general manager who lead the team. Cocktails were also going down nicely. Kenza is one of the best hidden gem in London, thank you to the whole team at Kenza. I will be back soon. Bruno

5/5 everything, delicious food, nice service, nice atmosphere, go there you'll have nice time and great food🫶

Amazing food as well as the whole experience. Very pleased with the cocktails, amazed by the bartenders and their skills. The service is exceptional. Many thanks to the staff members as they are always at the top of their game!

The food was delicious , service was attentive and the entertainment amazing. All at a very affordable price. I’ll definitely be back

Loved this place. The food, ambience, service and drinks were really good.

Best Lebanese/Moroccan restaurant in London. The atmosphere was second to none and the food was superb. The cous cous was one of the best I've ever had. The whole setup is 10/10

It’s a great Lebanese restaurant, we really enjoyed it and we will definitely come back! And Tarikul’s service was really good too ☺️

I just love this place. The venue, food and service. Everyone are so considering and always smile. We were owed a complimentary dinner and the manager and staff were very accommodating. I'll definitely be back.

Really enjoyed my visit to Kenza. The restaurant is unique, looks so nice. The food is fab. Wasn't into the belly dancing. But overall hidden gem.

Thank you very much for making our staff party special. Everyone enjoyed, and your team was amazing. I couldn't see Gosia when we where leaving, wanted to say thank you, because she was very attentive and helpful. 😊💐 All the team was very friendly Mimo, Mohcine and others that I did not get the names. 😊💐

This place had amazing food, great atmosphere and the service was fast and efficient. 5/5

Food was very tasty, great flavours. Only one person serving so not very attentive but was fairly quiet with only couple of groups in so was fine for us.

Experiência horrível. Uma garçonete ou recepcionista que estava servindo-me foi muito amigável e ficou tão confortável que confessou que as pessoas que trabalham neste sítio têm o costume de cuspir na comida dos clientes quando os clientes mostram estar insatisfeitos. Não recomendarei a ninguém e acho que este lugar precisa de uma inspeção.

Food is subpar to be honest, as a middle eastern it doesnt taste very authentic on the main dishes, i ordered the fish plate and wasnt underwhelmed. The grilled meat was good but no sauces or dips with it so felt dry. Staff was also a bit rud. Aesthetic of the place is amazing.

Lovely food, lovely atmosphere, great service. Had a very lovely evening spent with friends 💜

Should try this place delicious and good ambience

We went to Kenza for our work Christmas do and there were 35 of us. The food was amazing, the service is lovely and there is a really good buzz there. The only complaints I heard from colleagues was it was a bit cramped and difficult to mingle and talk to everyone in our party, and the dance floor was VERY crowded when we had to move from the table. However, I think that's just the nature of the venue. I would absolutely recommend Kenza, particularly for smaller groups. So good!

Went as a group. Booked for 7pm. First course came at 8.50pm. One small salad and 2 dips between 8. 2 belly dancer's, 10mins each. Main course came at 9.20pm. Dessert was very small, no tea as stated on menu. Food was nice but not worth the money. Would not go again. Would not recommend.

Fab experience with samba and belly dancers, turkiah feast for christmas party! Would recommend

Went there as a group of 25. Had a set menu which was bomb and had tons of food which isn't usually the case with set sharing. I wouldn't recommend cocktails if you want something that has decent alcohol quantities. Very sweet. Go for Lebanese wine or beer instead. Had a Belly Dancer shower mid way through our meal. Great food and entertainment.

A great night. Some of the very best Lebanese food I've ever had. The meat was extremely tender and tasty. The service was absolutely incredible and the servers couldn't do enough for a big party. Side note, the Lebanese Pilsner, Almaza, is a great drop.

It was an amazing evening, Atmosphere was nice, drinks are yummy (I am non alcohol drinker) didn’t try the food (next time will do so) Special thanks to the stuff that made it all possible: Kaushik Patrick Mini 🍹 - Bar DJ capo @deejaycapo 🎧👍🏼 - DJ Youssef - Security Service 👌🏻

Great food, enjoyed the belly dancing and the sharing platter was amazing. Great ambiance.

We had our Christmas dinner, and though it was a big group of over 30 people, the food and service was impeccable. We started with the Turkish bread, sambousek, halloumi, houmous, batata harra followed by a huge platter of kebabs- Chicken and Lamb and they were mouthwatering followed by desserts. Portions are huge, and everyone was full. Located in prime location in 2-3 min walk from Liverpool Street station and great service.

Went for lunch and the set menu was great. Fantastic Mezze starters. Staff were attentive without being overbearing
