About this restaurant

  • Vegetarian-friendly
  • Good for groups
  • Charming
“In Syrian culture, we can’t make any journey without first planning the food. If you decide to go to the cinema, you plan what you’ll eat. If you plan to visit your mother, you know that you’re going to eat. There’s no going out without eating something.”

-Imad Alarnab



Imad Alarnab was a successful restaurateur in Damascus with three restaurants, plus several juice bars and cafes. In the war, Imad's restaurants were destroyed and he was forced to flee the country in search of safety for his family. Making his way from Lebanon through Europe, Imad shared his skills cooking for other refugees, up to 400 at a time, and found even in the most challenging times, his passion for food and bringing people together to celebrate life was strong.

    Have enjoyed many lovely meals at Imad’s kitchen before but this was our first visit for breakfast. Every mouthful was amazing! Can’t wait to return.

    Boring food. Has nothing to do with the delicious food I experienced in Syria. The noise is so loud that it is almost impossible to communicate across the table.

    Service slow and good Luke warm food on arrival No real warm welcome on entry or recognition of custom on exit. Been a few times and this was a little disappointing in comparison. I won’t return for a while. Need to give it time to re calibrate. It was not overly busy either. There was no check in whilst dining to see if our dishes were to standard. A real shame. Traveled for almost 2 hours to dine here from the midlands to London. Better luck next time. Thank you

    We had an amazing experience at Imad’s Syrian Kitchen — easily a 10/10! The food was absolutely bursting with flavour from start to finish. We loved the starters, especially the baba ghanoush, battata harra, and the falafel — everything was fresh, vibrant, and perfectly seasoned. For mains, the mudakhan ghanam and amara chicken were both standouts — tender, aromatic, and full of authentic Syrian taste. And we couldn’t leave without trying the desserts — the baklava was heavenly and the Syrian ice cream was the perfect finish. The ambiance felt warm and authentic, and the service was excellent throughout. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a delicious, authentic Middle Eastern meal in a beautiful setting!

    Superb food and attentive service in a pleasant atmosphere. Their authentic falafels with hummus make an ideal starter to share. The slow-cooked lamb shoulder with rice was perfectly prepared. Impressive gluten-free options available. Special thanks to the incredible staff and waiters who provide such warm, friendly service - they truly enhance the dining experience. My favorite spot in Central London - I leave satisfied every visit!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
