Lovely food, not outstanding. The portion was reasonable, not oversized as you might expect (I'm not opposed to a big meal, but thought it's worth mentioning). Staff were kind and attentive, the manager was a little excitable, but knew the regulars and clearly cared. The restaurant was generally clean, but dark colours and patterns may have hidden a few issues, I only say this because the menus were stained and sticky and the cushions were about worn out, maybe it just needs a bit of a refresh. We were related in a quiet area away from most other patrons and it wasn't busy. No was the music too loud, it was actually quite pleasant. But a little chatter and the music just seemed to build quite quickly and it was a little difficult to have a relaxed conversation. Despite the soft furnishings I assume it's the low hard ceilings reflecting the sound.

The ambience is beautiful and incredibly romantic. I made sure to take photos that captured the vibe 🥰 The highlight of our meal was the grilled halloumi with dried figs. You don’t usually see this dish on the menu but it was the perfect accompaniment to our meal. Oh! And the rose and mint tea!!! ♥️ Most gorgeous rose flavour, that was deliciously refreshing. My family members that ordered the chicken taouk and chicken kofta said it the meat was a little dry :( I always make sure to order aubergine and chickpea tagine at Lebanese restaurants - it’s such a comforting dish and near impossible to get wrong. Thank you Yalla Yalla for a delicious meal and relaxing ambience, which is the perfect break to the chaos of Oxford street ♥️

The Good Eat

We regularly visit middle eastern restaurants, and we must admit that this spot did satisfy our cravings. The food was spectacular, being expertly cooked, spiced, and prepared. Moreover, the lemonades were extremely refreshing, and tasted beyond fresh. Our only complaint was the service; although kind and helpful, the waiter seemed to easily misunderstand what we meant to convey, and was quick to block us when asking for changes in our order. Overall, we would definitely return and recommend this to others, especially since we paid around £40 for two people and drinks.
