Harden's survey result
Summary
“A delightful Yemeni gem on Warren Street”, where “the coffee is first class and the pastries are perfect”. Founder Faris Sheibani works with more than 7,000 smallholder bean farmers around the world, and his Qima Foundation donates a sapling coffee tree to a farmer for each cup sold. A smart flagship branch opened in Covent Garden in spring 2025.
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
