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.

    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!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    This place is that rare find of being a consistent four star rating across all areas. It was a great experience eating here – lovely environment which was lively and buzzing, very fresh tastes using beautiful ingredients (Loved the samra and sarnoa), unusual drinks available (gorgeous Damascus iced-tea and Middle Eastern sunset) and good service made it very special. Enjoy, while you can still get a table! ♥️

    A vibrant spot where the energy is as lively as the flavors. The staff exudes warmth. The menu features standout dishes like the smoky baba ghanoj, served in charred aubergine skin and topped with pomegranate seeds and tahini, and the crispy, doughnut-shaped falafel that are a crunchy delight. Complementing our meal was the Phoenix Merwah skin contact wine from Lebanon, offering a unique and aromatic experience. The atmosphere buzzes with a loud yet infectious vibe, making it an ideal spot for those seeking a spirited dining experience.
