The service at this restaurant was terrible. The staff were so casual when they served us that the waiter actually missed my wine glass and poured the wine all over the table. He did not apologise. Another waiter dumped things on the table and then appeared to be laughing at us. Finally, a waitress packaged up a salad for us to take home and when I picked up the bag, salad dressing spilled out of the bag all over my silk dress. We could not get out of there fast enough. Although the food was fine, this is not a cheap eat restaurant and far too high a price to pay for being treated so rudely.

An American In London

Thursday, January 27, 2011 - Star attraction at Hiba: Halloumi. There were many tasty, memorable dishes at Hiba (e.g. crispy, fragrant falafel, refreshing grilled aubergine with tomato, onion, parsley and mint (bazenjan al-rahib)), but for me, the halloumi stole the show. Yielding, almost-juicy tofu-like texture. No squeakiness. Mild, creamy almost-mozzarella flavor with a hit of smokiness from the grill...Order anything at Hiba that comes with labneh, a thick cheesy-tangy yoghurt. The chicken wings at Hiba, for example, were a bit scrawny, but they were saved by the garlicky labneh served on the side. Hiba's kibbeh, which was better/more moist than Yalla Yalla's version, still benefited from the rich labneh we'd ordered.
