Notting Hill, Middle Eastern Restaurant Guide

This attractive modern Notting Hill café is inspired by visits to Tel Aviv, and the “energetic kitchen produces a small range of well thought-out dishes”. Staff are “really friendly” too.

Fadi Kattan crowd-funded nearly £1m to open this Palestinian newcomer in Notting Hill which – originally slated to debut in 2021 – is set to open in the second half of 2022. He opened his first restaurant (Fawda) in Bethlehem in 2016. Here, the focus will be specialities from that city as well as Jerusalem, Jericho, Gaza and Nablus, and the website promises ‘hot bright salads of the Gaza coastline, deep stews from the rolling hills of Ramallah and foraged akub will feature alongside the locally sourced British ingredients’.
