"One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to! I visited this place on one of my trips to London from New York and I’ve got to say, I’ve never had food this fresh, delicious, and within a relaxing and chill ambiance. I was skeptical to visit since I hadn’t had North African cuisine before and didn’t know quite what to expect. We were seated in front of the chefs and the manager explained all the items on the small but interesting menu. The manager was more than happy to, and with a lot of patience, explain the menu, so don’t be shy and ask if you’re not sure what an item is. As the orders were placed, food came out sooner than expected, which was great! The plates were small but that was actually beneficial to trying a little bit of everything. The breads were fresh and soft with so much flavor! The dips were bursting with flavors of so many spices and seasonings. One of the dishes had a seared fish tossed with onions and tomatoes- and let me tell you, the tomatoes were like none I’d ever had before, they were fruity, crunchy and so yummy! I usually don’t like tomatoes but these were beyond normal tomatoes and that says a lot. Fish was fresh and tender. I could go on about the food, but overall, if you want to try something new that will blow you away, go here! Bring a friend so you can try a little bit of everything! Great food, chill vibes, not too expensive and an experience you’ll savor!"

Tucked in, away from the main drag this jewel of a restaurant deserves a medal. It was our second visit and everything was as superb as the first time. Staff are absolutely delightful, professional, attentive. Food is simply wonderful. It’s a MUST. We will definitely go back again

overall: every single dish was phenomenal, packed full of unique flavours. highly recommend the cauliflower. bar-style seating, so go with no more than 2 other people. moroccan cigar : crispy spring rolls filled with aromatic white fish. though i couldn’t really taste the dipping sauce, but it’s good without anyways. naan

One of my top spots in London. All bar seating so you can watch the chefs. Staff are wonderful and knowledgeable, music and vibe is fun. The food is so so tasty, the combination of flavours are insane. It’s all designed to share, so pick a few plates from each section and plenty of bread on the side to mop up sauces. Wine list is succinct but on point. Great for a date night 2 people as it’s all bar seating so you can’t really have a big group.

Excellent food and excellent service. Everything we ordered was delicious. The bagel, cauliflower, chicken and octopus. Impressed with the chefs who were really on top of the orders, everything came out fast and perfectly cooked while also interacting with the customers and acting as front of house at the same time. Fun place to eat you are essentially sat in the kitchen with the chefs and can feel the warmth of the grills and noise of the cooking. Highly recommend.

We were looking for something unique and fun, with water mouth dishes. The Barabry was just like it. Great food, made in the central kitchen in front of your eyes, under the hands of the chef which is part of the super small 3 people team. The plates are quite small but the superb. We tried the chicken shawarma and the Moroccan Cigars which were amazing. The chef recommended to try the cauliflower and it was super good. The place has a great vibe too. All in all very good place to go. Just book in advance as it is super small and packed.

We booked a table for 2 on a Sunday evening so glad we did! It’s a very snug restaurant with bar counter type tables surrounding the central kitchen, a great concept so you get to see all the action. Service was quick friendly! The chef was very attentive with orchestrating the serving of our dishes, only sending it out once we’re done working on the ones on our table. We had 8 plates which fed us nicely. Just a note for tall people, to request for the corner most seats so you can kind of angle your legs to the side (my partner is 6’4 and thank goodness we were lucky to be seated in the corner as the space between the bar seat isn’t tall people friendly . The food blew us away more than the...
