what the critics say

Telegraph

Matthew Norman - 8/10

Wednesday, July 14, 2010 - The chicken, a delicately marinated bird flattened and barbecued on the chargrill at the back, was glorious, all juicy and crispy and savoury, and okra with lamb cubes (bamia billammi) a cinnamony delight. If kibbieh shamieh - pastry diamonds stuffed with minced lamb, cracked wheat and pine nuts - was underseasoned, we;d gorged so greedily on the starters that we wouldn't have finished it anyway.

Being there today food was very nice as usual but staff very rude and unprofessionnal seems to me like they want to chase the clients away. Atmosphere very stressing and very loud music which was only on to entertain the staff!!

Always had an excellent meal here. The food is cheap and cheerful, tasty, fresh and large portions. The service is quick and enthusiastic and the fresh juice is amazing! Love finishing the meal with a pot of mint tea and baklava.

4th December 2010: I had phoned up in the morning around 11:30 asked them to book table for 5, as it was a special occasion the person I spoked to agreed. Everything was fantastic table was booked. Now when we had arrived ok we was 15 min late. One of the waiters said to us your late we gave your table away ( when I booked the person that took my booking took my phone details but no one phoned me) so what was the point in me booking if I had to wait for a table?? No one bothered to call to ask were we was before giving the table way... That was annoying.. But once we got a table it was ok but the don't know how to deal with customers... No customer service at all... The only thing that's nice is the food. That's about it...

A very authentic, cheap eat with lovely food, fast service and a good atmosphere. It feels like we're in Damascus. A real treat and the fresh juices are amazing. Cheap and cheerful at it's best.

The food here was excellent and very good value. We went for a selection of mezze; houmous, moutabal, vine leaves, falafel, pastry with grilled cheese and all were at or above the standard you would get at a typical Middle Eastern restaurant. The shish taouk main course was tender and very tasty.

Contrary to some of the comments below, the service was friendly, we were not charged for any add-ons and the food was superb. A great cheap place to go for lunch.

I've been to Abu Zaad about 6 times and I've never really had a bad experience.The only thing I would not recommend is the the mixed grill as I found the portions were very small and dry. However their Maqlooba dish is great and i always enjoy the starters.
