I’m genuinely impressed.
Stuck in a small non-​descript side road in the light industrial waste-​lands of Park Royal, this is not a place you would go out of your way too visit, but that would be your loss, believe me
The north African nosh here is fresh and really tasty, amongst the best of its type I’ve tried. Not dirt cheap, but the quality of the food more than justifies than slighty pricier than average cost. The surroundings ain’t much too look at but the food is top notch, seriously.

This place must be one of London’s best-​hidden gems. It’s in the middle of an industrial estate in the wastelands of North Acton (about 2 minutes walk from North Acton tube), but well worth a pilgrimage.
Actually, it’s not so strange to find it on this industrial estate: most of the businesses nearby seem to be Lebanese: bakers, falafel and mezze manufacturers. Presumably this unassuming café (with its own huge bread oven) serves the pick of the bunch from these surrounding businesses.
There’s an extensive menu, featuring all manner of kebabs, wraps, mezze, Lebanese pizzas, fatoush etc. Prices are a little expensive in kebab shop terms (from around £3 for a wrap to £6 for a full meal) but the freshness and quality of the food is worth more than this small premium.
Layout is pretty basic: there’s a tented outside area (where you can smoke a hookah) or solid canteen-​like long tables inside. Service is similarly basic. But here, it’s all about the food!
