"the hotel lies opposite harrods on the brompton road, mamounia lounge knightsbridge promises culinary delights in the near east, inspired cocktails, a lounge in free and entertainment. this is with a baroque style, best shown by the enormous chandeliers and red velvet drape over the restaurant room. this makes an interesting contrast, since mamounia does not try to reconstruct a Moroccan restaurant, but it aims at an eclectic mix. < br/> despite the decadent decoration there is a relaxed atmosphere in the restaurant, and as a result would be an ideal place for relaxed group eating weather for lunch or dinner. if they like to be entertained during the eating, then mamounia the place for them, as post 9pm they have a series of belly dancer and even djs we tried the mamounia special, which was similar to a mojito and exactly what we needed to cool on a hot day. at the beginning we ordered a well seasoned batata harra and hommus kawarma, which was embroidered with medaillons from lamb and pine nuts. both appetizers came in good time ordered and were a good portion size to begin our meal. for our main course I ordered the chicken kafta, the grilled spits of chop ham with fresh coriander, garlic, green and red pfeffer grilled. I was very impressed by this court, since the hawn was incredibly moist and tender, in which it literally melted in mouth. Although chicken kafta is probably a court that they can order in many restaurants in london, the court here was of a superior quality and definitiw one of the best chopsticks I had! my sweet ess accompanyer chose the grilled lamb cut and was equally impressed by the moist texture of the lamb. the spice on both was also divine and added a beautiful additional layer to the plate. we had sides of rice and more batata hara with our food and although this was a quite great meal, we had to try some desserts before we left! although mamounia have a selection of traditional Moroccan and Lebanese desserts, I gave myself my chocolate eater and ordered the homemade chocolate fondant with vanillest fresh. as this desert is made to order, it took about ten minutes to come, but this offered us the time to digest our previous courses! when the chocolate fondant arrived, it was warm and tasty creamy and made a wonderful paring with the ice. the fruits, which were usually a sortiment an berries, added to the sweet taste a welcome tangent. the baklava were not the traditional simple choice we thought we ordered and they were neither crispy or sweet. I probably had better baklava. this was, however, the only criticism of the food itself and they were redeemed by serving the perfect Moroccan tees. Can i afford Seconds? although located in knightsbridge, mamounia is not an overly expensive restaurant, especially served for the quality of the feeds. the most important courses including the daily start at £14 and dessert are also in the £6 series and the unique selection of cocktails are about £8. total? 3.5/5br br br/> eating in the mamounia lounge knightsbridge was definitiw the highlight of the experience. the service varied between the attempt too hard to pay much attention, but this can be because it seemed new workers on the day we have visited to train. we have not been hanging around for the entertainment as we were there"

"Went for my son's birthday, pre booked as always and as requested on the booking said it was for his birthday. Turned up, no one about, just 1 customer visible, after a few minutes someone appears, didn't take my name and said sit in a booth if you like! Not shown to table, spoken to about the menu, nothing! Had to gesture someone over to enable a order to be placed, 3 guys just standing by the bar chatting! A guy in tracksuit bottoms who didn't have a clue took the food drinks order, asked for coleslaw but was told they didn't have any when the menus are reprinted it will be removed, also asked for draft coke but was told only little bottles available, yet a bit later I see them making a cocktail using a 1.5ltr bottle. Both our 8oz fillets arrived, both ordered medium rare, 1 was the other was at best medium. I'm not too fussy but expected it to be on point. Both very tasty. Plates cleared, and then just sat, I had to ask for the desert menu, asked if they had just ice cream, the chap in the track suit was unsure so just walked away and asked the 2 by the bar, some looking about it was then decided that they didn't have any. Asked for the bill was told to pay by the bar! At one point the background music stopped for a while, I had to ask for it to be turned back on, they did but started playing foreign music! In the Shisha bar a smell of weed came out at one point! Not impressed, nor the chief whom came out to the bar and stood with a cigarette in his mouth! (Unlite) I've been going here for years and the old Woking restaurant, last year for my son's birthday they put a candle in his desert and sang him happy birthday, he has been on at me for months to go again this year. I can only presume this restaurant is under new ownership, if so they have loads to learn or there business won't last. Disappointed is an understatement! Rather spend my money in Miller Carter chain that's saying something!"

"Went for the Sunday Jazz Feast bottomless brunch. We don’t drink so we enquired about non alcoholic options. Was pleasantly surprised that they offered a just bottomless food option where we could order drinks separately. Felt like this was a good start, but that was probably the only good surprise we experienced. We were quite disappointed that there were no oysters despite all the PR and reviews saying unlimited oysters. All over IG and Tik Tok it’s reviews about oysters, so that was disappointing. Felt that there were not a huge amount of options for seafood and starters/salads. The roasts looked good but found the meat was seasoned very heavily with salt. The gravy/jus was very watery. Must say the carver was very friendly though! Most of the other hot food (sausages with mash, chicken, risotto) were cold and looked unappetising due to looking dry and congealed. I understand it’s difficult on a buffet to keep things looking fresh but the temperature of the hot food was just too cold. Also not sure why they felt the need to slice the sausages in half? Dessert selection was also very limited and the cheese selection placed on the same table which had a very overwhelming smell. Definitely put me off, I didn’t eat any desserts. Service wise I noticed the tables around us were getting a good level of service, having their bottomless drinks topped up regularly. Maybe it was because we were just ordering our drinks separately and were not consuming alcohol I felt like we didn’t get the same attentive service. Waiters were having conversations with other guests and tables and we barely got a sideways glance. Took ages for us to get someone’s attention to order more drinks, get a top up of water etc. I was tempted to try to ask if I could order oysters but couldn’t get the attention of a waiter so just gave up. Even asking for the bill took longer than needed. Being busy we wanted to free up our table promptly for them. On our departure we barely got a thank you for paying nor a goodbye. Overall feel a bit underwhelmed and slightly cheated that one of the star attractions of this brunch buffet was oysters that weren’t even there. But the contrast in service to other tables and us was what really made this a sour experience. Although vastly more expensive, will probably stick to The Ned or even something like Nobu Shoreditch bottomless brunch."

"I planned a surprise dinner for my sister to celebrate a very big event and I was extremely disappointed with the service we received on November 11th. I wish I had gotten our servers name because he was extremely unprofessional. To describe him he is an older (I believe possibly Italian due to his accent) man. Upon entering the restaurant with my sister, her friends were already waiting inside and said surprise to her as we entered. There were a few other patrons in the restaurant at this point, none of whom looked irritated by the situation, in fact many of them were smiling at our celebrations. We sat down at our assigned table and began excitedly chatting and saying hello to our guests. As it was a surprise dinner my sister was especially excited as she was not expecting to see her friends there. After sitting down for no more than 5 minutes the server in question (who we soon realised was unfortunately going to be our server for the night) loudly told us to be quiet as we were “disrupting the restaurant” our level of noise was no more than what you would expect for a party of 7 and it felt like we were being intentionally targeted by him. Nevertheless we lowered our conversation down to be respectful and continued on with our night. He returned shortly after and hurriedly requested us to order our food, we obliged and ordered our respective meals. After some time of receiving and finishing our starters one of my guests asked about the approximate timing of our mains to which she was told that “it will be here when it’s ready”. To finish off the night of awful service when it came time to pay the bill, everyone had diligently calculated their individual totals (including shared drinks service charge) and when he approached our table with the card machine he loudly asked “who is in charge here?” We explained to him three times that nobody is in charge and we all have calculated our individual amounts and will pay individually. After he had collected payment from every single person on the table he said (again very loudly with no respect for our privacy or other customers) that we had not paid our complete bill and owed him money still. Everyone still had their receipts and endured their receipts matched up with the amounts they had calculated. Despite this, he still made the decision to cause a huge scene by bringing a calculator with all his copies of the receipts and sitting down at a table next to us continuously shouting across to us that he was short changed. I was extremely upset and unimpressed by the service we received that night especially in the context of it being a very important celebration dinner fort sister. The only reason why I’m even giving 2 stars is because the food was very delicious however the service was horrendous."
