"Mams in Knightsbridge is an Arabic cafe that has quickly become a favourite of mine. Located in the heart of the upscale neighbourhood, Mams serves up some of London's most authentic healthy Middle Eastern street food. I recently visited the restaurant and tried a few dishes that I just had to share. First up, the mixed shawarma. This dish is a must-try for any first-timers at Mams. It features a combination of chicken and beef shawarma served with pita bread, salad, and a side of tahini sauce. The meat was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the tahini sauce was creamy and flavorful. The portion size was generous, and the dish was definitely filling. Next, we tried lamb shawarma. This dish was equally impressive. The lamb was juicy and tender, and the spices were just right. It was served with the same accompaniments as the mixed shawarma and was equally filling. We also ordered the Manakeesh, an Arabic-style pizza. We opted for the pesto, mozzarella, and sundried tomato flavour, which did not disappoint. The crust was crispy and slightly chewy, and the toppings were fresh and delicious. We also had the Lahmajan. It was a unique twist on a classic pizza and was definitely worth trying. We also enjoyed a bowl with a choice of protein, grain, and vegetables, topped off with a delicious sauce. We chose the grilled chicken as our protein, and it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. We added quinoa as our grain and a variety of fresh vegetables, including cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. The sauce was a delicious blend of tahini, lemon juice, and herbs. We finished off our bowl with Halloumi. The combination of flavours and textures was simply outstanding, and it was a dish that I could eat every day. Overall, I had a fantastic experience at Mams. The food was excellent, the service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. If you're in the Knightsbridge area and looking for a taste of authentic Middle Eastern street food, I highly recommend checking out Mams. Thank you Zack for your excellent service and making time for us and sharing some good laughs."

"I've eaten at Bakchich a few times now and popped in with my son for lunch whilst shopping a few days ago. . . It was around 2pm mid week and no problem being seated I'd say they have a pretty extensive menu great choice of dishes! I love the laid back vibe in here and the decor. Great place for lunch. The staff are really pleasant and there's no rush to order. There's so much to choose from it's tough! We both went for the mixed swarma (Lamb&Chicken) cooked in Lebanese spices which is served on a freshly made flatbread with a beautifully fresh salad, rice and fries. We also both got the fresh homemade lemonade. I got the Rosa and my son the Lemon&Lime The food (with condiments) and drinks were served before we knew it. I've got to say that there was enough for two . . . on each plate! Amazingly generous portion sizes. We're big eaters and couldn't finish them. Taste wise it was absolutely delicious! Every forkful was full of flavour and thoroughly enjoyed. I managed to wrap a ton of the swarma plus salad and a few Tzatziki fries in the bread wrap and finish the lot before my drink and there was still loads left on my plate! What I loved about this meal was it was not greasy at all. It was what I would call clean food extremely well seasoned and cooked and plenty of it! Washed down with the zingy fresh and tasty lemonades this was an incredible meal. I will definitely be back!"

"'Yay! I 'm a fan ' pretty much sums up my feelings about Pomegranate. Having had it delivered via Deliveroo i wasn 't overly impressed and wasn 't sure what all the hype was about. But last night after a stressful day and having lost the ability to want to cook anything, i decided that going out to dinner was an acceptable choice. we decided on Pomegranate as it was nearby and middle eastern food sounded like a great option at 8pm! i haven 't been in this place since it was ferri 's apparently what is many years ago now. but the inside is completely different, loads of colour and what appeared to be a back room i have no memory of. lots of tables so we didn 't have any problem just walking in without a booking and service was quite and friendly. we opted for two mezze dishes and two mains to share between us. the mezze didn 't take long and the minced lamb pastry triangles (which have an actual name that i 'm not even going to attempt to spell), the tabbeulouh, and flat bread were with us shortly. each bite i 'm pretty sure was tastier than the last. the tabbeulouh is not what you usually get- a salad full of bulgur wheat and not much veg. not this was packed full of fresh parsley and chopped up tomato with loads of lemon juice mixed it. it was super fresh tasting and absolutely moreish. the mince lamb triangles were equally moreish although a bit spicy which i didn 't expect. however that did not stop me eating my half of the portion and i 'd definitely order them again. our mains arrived in prompt time and i think my falafel shrawma wrap was the favourite. it was a fairly large wrap (made with they delicious flat bread) stuffed full of falafel of chilli yogurt sauce and some veg. it was so incredibly good that i probably had one bite too many after proclaiming that i was full. it 's served with a salad on the side which is good as anything else would have been too much. we also had the mixed sharwma platter with lamb and chicken, rice, and an okra stew thing. the okra was really good which surprised me as i 've not been a fan before. and the chicken sharwma was mouth watering! i 'm pretty sure next time i 'll have that in my wrap over the falafel. both of us were stuffed after sharing the two mains and couldn 't manage to finish them. next i think we 'll go with just one main! the portions are pretty massive. this is a totally great restaurant and i wish that my original deliveroo delivery had been to a better standard. i 'll definitely be back here as the food is too delicious to pass up! not to mention speedy service which means when you 're tired and can 't be bothered cooking this is a good place to go for a reasonably priced quick meal."
