Melabes

DELICIOUS SHARING DISHES! As you walk in, the cozy warmth from the kitchen is so inviting and the scent of the bread baking is divine! We had a wonderful time during a late lunch visit on a Saturday. We were greeted with a smile and seated upstairs next to the large impressive window, overlooking the high street. The falafel was bursting with flavour, the Arias had a delicious smokey charred taste, and the Bata sweet potato was luxurious and soft. Accompanied by some sesame bread, and an overall fantastic meal! We look forward to visiting again soon!

It is not so common to find a restaurant where everything served is absolutely delicious. So, try to taste as many items as possible (especially among starters & sides). Go in a big group and order everything on the menu. There are numerous vegetarian options as well, and the serving size is decent too. Above all the best part is that it is not very expensive either. Enjoy 👌😋😜

First time coming here with my family and we loved it! We were amazed by the interior of the restaurant and it was made even better by the delicious food! Their falafel was so good. I really enjoyed their Fattush Salad whilst my mum loved the Grapefruit Salad. We also ordered Peach Ice Tea which was a great match to the meal!

Amazing food, great service, good music and vibes! I was very much positively suprised with every dish I tried. I wish I had more space to explore more options:) Their kunefe was the best I had so far. I would strongly recommend you to try it. Staff was very friendly as well and I enjoyed my dinner very much. I will be coming back to this lovely place when I am in London.

Serendipity. We were wandering along Ken High St from the Design Museum, looking for a place to have a quick lunch. We discarded the Byron Burgers & Gail’s, but were tempted in to Melabes. Thank goodness we were as it is now one of my top delicious food stops. The decor is wood, brick, copper utensils hung, quite basic tables & chairs. Simple but well done. The food is cooked over charcoal in an open kitchen & as fresh as fresh can be. Utterly blissful velvety hoummus, best ever falafels that were crisp on the exterior but full of freshest herbs & ingredients inside ( served with proper tahini) the pita bread were puffy warm rounds freshly made and served in a paper bag, the chicken schnitzel had sesame seeds in the crispy fresh breadcrumb and the potato wedges with labne were mouth-wateringly good. So that was just our starters! The menu is essentially middle eastern but has plenty of choice. Service was fast, efficient, smiling and helpful. This place deserves to be packed out all day.

I went to this place on friends recommendation. They have lot of vegetarian options. The food was plenty variety but was served in very small quantity. The staff wasn't very helpful in recommending the dishes or answering our questions. Having said that Zaatar laffa was good. Spicy tomato salad was mediocre. But the dessert Coconut pannacotta was truly worth trying. It came with rose flavouring and was very refreshing to eat.
