“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 AlarnabImad 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.

    The ambience is mostly British pub with a bit of bistro. The service was great. We enjoyed our fish and chips and burger and the burger was exceptionally good. Absolutely glad we receive this recommendation from the hotel concierge. We will definitely return.

    The service we received was exceptional for a central London restaurant. The ambiance is great (loved the disco music) and everyone in the restaurant was happy. They even sang my partner happy birthday. I had the parpadelle and it was delicious! I would definitely go back again.

    The atmosphere of the restaurant was very welcoming and the dinner we had was absolutely divine. We loved the manuscript menu of the day, something unusual but delightful. As a starter, I loved the poached skate salad with chicory and capers. Very tasteful. As a main, I choose a Guinea Fowl supreme with kale and turnips. Delicious and comforting for the winter season. For the dessert, I took the rice pudding with quince. I loved it although it is a “tour de force” to finish a meal with such a dessert. I must admit that the matching of both ingredients is really superb. The wine list is very interesting and I must say the prices, also for the menu, are really correct, specially in London were the prices tend to become very expensive. The waitress and the manager were very nice and relaxed, although the restaurant was very busy. We loved the place very much because it is very characterful and different from the general offer.

    Fabulous meal at Shack Fuyu. Explained we needed to be at the theatre by 7 and the service was quick and friendly. We had the tasting menu and most of the dishes were excellent, and there were a lot of dishes! Highly recommend but make sure you book, as it was pretty busy.
