I was invited by a family friends to this restaurant I enjoyed it and also the food was delicious service was very quick the staffs were friendly, I recommend it
Don't think I've ever had Syrian food before. It was pretty good. The portions are massive! Maybe it's made for sharing? The mint tea they gave us at the end was really yum.
Absolutely lovely find. My husband found this restaurant after a shopping trip at Westfield and I was a little negative as the area wasn't impressive. It just took me walking in to change my mind.
ATMOSPHERE
Lovely simplistic decor with authentic peices from Damascus on the walls. I almost felt I was back in the city centre.
Amazing food, huge portions.
Waiters are friendly and make you feel you are a true regular every time.
Outstanding food with outstanding service.
Great fast and friendly service, especially since the staff were fasting for Ramadan! Vine leaves and kibbeh potato were amazing, as was lamb tagin. Fattoush salad and baba ghanouj not as good as I'd hoped, however. Would definitely return!
Excellent. Very well run, authentic Syrian restaurant. Meze here are fantastic especially makdous, arayes and kibbeh but it's all good with friendly, efficient service.
Delicious!. A friend & I stopped in here for a meal before a show this evening & we were unsure we would be seated as it was so busy but they found us a table with no more than a couple of minutes wait. The menu is extensive & mind-boggling if you don't have any idea of this type of cuisine. We eventually managed to make our selections & the very friendly & helpful waiter even advised us not to order extra coscous as the portions were large. He wasn't wrong! We ordered 2 starters & 2 mains to share & by the time we were full there was still half the food left on the table. The food was divine, piping hot with a nice amount of spice, the flavours all complimenting each other. All very reasonable at dinner for 2, including drinks coming out at £21. I will definitely be returning.
Best Syrian restaurant in shepherds bush. If you're looking for a friendly family type cuisine with immaculate food then Abu zaad is the place to be. It has exotic food in which the list is endless of, and the service is very friendly and welcoming some of the best I've ever seen. I have been going there for 7 years and I still go there on my birthday every year, there's no need to change because I still haven't tasted everything on the menu!!!!
Been here twice, both times food has been great & friendly service. Love the fried halloumi starters & a couple of others cheesy starters that my friends had were lush but can't remember what they were. I went for the BBQ mixed grill thing both times because it's yummie and you get a bit of everything :)
Seen this restaurant many times,never got the time or the right person to go with. That was till mr and my friend just decided to try it last week. The service was great friendly prompt service. Since we both didn't have much a clue of the food the waiter recommended a dish which was fab. My friend loved it. Food presentation was very nice. Atmosphere was very relaxing too and the prices were very reasonable. This is our usual from here on.
Great Value for money. Super food which can be eaten inside or ordered for take away. My only complaint is that there is the occassional rude service, but the yummy food counter balances it out.
I recently dined at Abu Zad Middle Eastern Restaurant and had an exceptional experience. The ambiance was inviting, the staff was incredibly hospitable, and the food was nothing short of extraordinary. Every dish I tried was bursting with authentic flavors, a testament to both quality and quantity - the portions were generous without compromising on taste. Moreover, the unexpected treat of a complimentary dessert, generously provided by the restaurant, was a delightful and thoughtful touch. However, I must caution fellow customers to be mindful of parking due to a nearby group of individuals engaging in less-than-desirable behavior. It's advisable to park carefully and ensure the security of your vehicle. Despite this concern, the restaurant itself deserves a resounding five-star rating for its fantastic food, ample portions, top-notch service, and the gracious gesture of the complimentary dessert.
A lovely dinner with significant other😊
Food was great and good portions, service from Hamza amazing and a dessert on the house. Fantastic place, try it out of near, won't be disappointed
Really enjoyed dinner here. Had a nice selection of mezze and the kabseh as a main course, which was a giant lamb shank with a generous portion of spiced rice. Hummous shawerma was good, and the complimentary mohullabia for dessert was DELICIOUS - like a panna cotta with pistachio, rose and date syrup. Come here if you're looking for a hearty, tasty meal. This was my first taste of Damascene food, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'll definitely be back.
We were positively surprised in every aspect. Friendly service, fast meals, surprise deserts and most importantly... Excellent quality food. We had a Moutabal as starter (massive! Easily for two) and delicious lamb tajin & Makloba for mains.
Cannot recommend more
I came to this restaurant based on the reviews to have Iftar two days ago, I really loved the atmosphere. The food was so fresh and delicious. It is an excellent service, especially from Nadjet, such a lovely kind lady. I highly recommend this restaurant 👌
We come here often. The food is yummy and substantial and good value. They provide excellent service and we have received some complimentary desserts also. I tried the moussaka today. Fresh, hot and delicious! Lots of aubergine and chickpeas in a rich sauce. I often go for the grilled baby butterflied chicken with chips. Again wholesome and delicious with zingy condiments of freshly made garlic and chilli sauces.
Decided to pop in on a whim after looking through the window and seeing it was busy… thought this place must be good… and it was. Very fresh, quick and friendly service. I would definitely recommend popping in. Pictured is the mixed grill, fattoush salad and some kind of delicious dessert.
Nice food, Hummus is delicious especially with the flat warm bread! Good service, and relatively quick. Would have gave it 5 stars but just slightly disappointed with little stains on the the plates and glasses. Overall it looks like a very clean place and interesting decor. Would definitely eat from here again in the future.
Massive massive portions for good prices. We ordered far too much, and we couldn’t stop eating because it was so delicious. The sea bass was huge and cooked really nicely. The decor was quirky. We enjoyed the meal here.
Abu Zaad has been serving us delicious, wholesome, Syrian meals for many years. Food is consistently good, fresh, delish! Staff are friendly and attentive. The restaurant is cosy and in a great location. I love this place and it never lets us down 🩷
