Incredible eatery ! Funny and friendly staff, delicious and well priced food, and in a fab location !
I grabbed some food for lunch and had to immediately write this review because of how welcoming the staff were ! The cafe is also ridiculously crowded which definitely proves that it is worth trying.
Can recommend the Barek - which is stuffed bread. And the freshly made sandwich - with egg and fries !
LOVED IT ! WILL BE BACK FOR MORE
I think calling this place a sandwich bar is a serious understatement. This is a bakery proper with a variety of products ranging from baklava, pastries, tarts, quiches to various forms of Arabic bread. I come here each weekend now for the most amazing flaky flarbread. No idea what it is called, but who cares when it disappears of my family's plates as warp speed. I have not tried any of the more substantial dishes (yet) but the baked goods are a super treat.
Brilliant cafe selling authentic Algerian food. Would recommend to anyone nearby. They have one pastry I particularly love. I’m not sure of the name but it has prawns inside and is to die for. Staff are very friendly. Most importantly, the price is not something you’ll find elsewhere in the Zone 1 area. I got a breakfast for 2 for £7.50 including hot drinks!
This is the best! Beef sandwich is the best thing I ever had from London. Staffs are really accommodating. And you won’t believe how cheap they are. Thank you for serving.
Oh my god!!! Amazing pastries from Algeria. Made fresh every day. There's a huge selection of them. Unfortunately I don't know the name of each of them but I'll be back to try more of them and learn about the food. Do not miss the pistachio ones that look like an Italian canoli
I love their coffee and especially their foods. They got the best coconut cake and flatbread. The staffs are friendly and it is a very clean place. It very east to locate.
Good food but it's too small.
This place is one of the most authentic bakeries in london ! Algerian pastries, sweets foood ! Some mix with moroccan food. It is very delicious affordable and the staff are very sweet.
I go there at least once a month
I usually have "fritte omlette" or "liver omlette" or "minced omlette" or "bbq skewers " or "pasties" they have alot of options.
Not sure why i never took a picture but so so so delicious
Must visit you will enjoy it ????
