I hadn't eaten Lebanese cuisine for a long time and never been to Aya before but I would definitely go again and recommend it. The atmosphere was just right, the food was delicious and the service was 10\10. Had everything we needed and waitress made sure we were always ok. Friendly atmosphere, excellent service and delicious food - you can't go wrong eating at Aya's!

I had the pleaseaure to eat at Aya Lebanese cuisine,I felt home and enjoy the welcoming by the owner, making sure we are enjoying our food; I LOVED their mixed grill; so moist and flavored, I 'm going to recommended to all my friend when I will go back to the state; Aya Cuisine will be my first choice to eat when I will come back to wimbledon:

Had dinner with group of family of six.

When we sat on our table, within 5mins we were asked by three different waiters if we were ready to order. Then the orders were taken wrongly. Two people ordered set manu which missed three components in the meal. Few seperate dishes that were ordered were very salty.

For the mistakes that were made in the set meal, which cost £32, they refused to give us discount in our final bill. And only apologised for the mistake.

We felt we had been ripped off on our meals. And have never experienced such a strange service.

Average food, poor service and definitely not a customer friendly resturant.

I held my 60th birthday celebration at Al Aya, I had eaten there before and knew how good the food was.

There were 21 of us including children,a vegetarian and a number of new comers to Lebanese cuisine, I was a bit aprehensive, but I needn't have worried, they ALL loved it. The food was well presented, well cooked, delicate flavours and succulent meats, and it just kept on coming right through to the coffee.

The staff were courteous and helpful and unobtrusive.

A good day was had by all.

I have been a customer at Aya for a very long time and they have always been excellent !! Great customer service and very friendly staff. Food is top standard all the time.

I celebrated 2 of my birthdays and valentines day at Aya and both times were great and would definitely go again ! on valentines they had a romantic setting and a belly dancer, always to great standards.

If you haven't been to Aya I can't recommend it enough, by far my favourite restaurant.

Starters were good, mains had no flavour, baklava was delicious, service from staff:very warm and welcoming! until the bill came we were being over charged for 2 extra people on a set menu £20 per head, the owner completley unprofessional and said she would not refund the extra £40 as we ate the food, then started asking her staff for the money from their own pockets as they should have counted the people?? then said she would refund £20 instead of £40!!!! then walked away and would not talk to us again, we also paid £40 for service charge which we now regret.

first dicovered aya throught a take away menu delivered through my door. as a family we ordered take aways from there a few times and the food was wonderful, untill one time when they delivered the wrong thing and were extremely rude on the phone shouting and swearing at me.

we boycotted aya for a while in protest but the amazing food called us back. we havnt ordered a take away from there since but have been into the resurant many times and never had any problems with rude staff or poor service, the food is much much better cooked fresh in the resturant anyway.

i havent seen the rude member of staff that treated us so badly since visiting the resturant.

the decor and atmosphere is traditional and uplifting and the small garden is the perfect place to spend and afternoon or early evening eating amazing food and enjoying a shisha pipe.

Aya is a nice change from the usual italian or french. if you like lebanese food this place is a must!
