Nouf Restaurant

A very pleasant surprise as we didn't expect much when we first looked at it. From outside it doesnt look like much and the place is tired and in need of an overhaul. But the food was absolutely great. We tried 7 mezze, I'm not sure we got exactly what we ordered, but it was delicious and my only complaint would be that I over ate because of it. Very speedy service as well, considering the owner was doing everything by himself that day. Bonus points for managing to make my son happy with the food as he can be really picky.

Amazing food with great service. I left feeling so full up I could hardly move but still wanting to eat more! The homemade dips were the best I've ever eaten, the meat was perfectly cooked, tender and well seasoned, fresh salad and great accompaniments. I really enjoyed the garlic sauce and the owner was happy to tell me how it was made so I can enjoy it at home. I'm not local so I won't be going again in the near future but next time I'm in the area I won't be trying anywhere else. Highly recommended.

Had an early dinner here with friends. Was a little sceptical as I arrived as no one else was in the restaurant but that disappeared as soon as I talked to the waiter. Staff were so lovely and welcoming and the food was delicious, clearly very fresh. Decor was interesting and unique, nice change from the metal and mirrors that adorns most restaurants these days.

I visited this lovely Lebanese cuisine for a party of four. Staff were very friendly and owner was attentive to our needs. Me and my collegues had authentic tasteful Lebanese starters and mains followed by the delicious knafeh cheesecake and the must have mint tea! We then finished our visit with shisha which was also a great way to end. It was such an authentic experience with great food, value for money and above all else the service was absolutely fantastic. Would definitely recommend.

So we’re looking for somewhere to eat after our son did the Royal Parks Half marathon. We wander through the streets around Victoria in the rain....every sweaty pub and anodyne chain restaurant packed to the gunnels. We’re about to give up and just go back to Brighton when we spot an empty Lebanese restaurant ( what’s wrong with this place??), and decide to give it a go as we’re all tired and hungry. What we found was the most perfect little place. Great food, lovely people. We enjoyed it so much, I just had to write this. It’s just so heartening to know that London still has places left like this- as opposed to the soulless glass and chrome identical ‘cookie-cutter’ rubbish everywhere. Added to this, the bill was half what we paid when we last went to London- and the food was vastly superior and delicious. I can’t recommend Cafe Nouf highly enough- but don’t tell everyone or it’ll become too popular!
