Del Aziz (Bankside)

Take the worst brunch you have ever eaten in your entire life bar none. Multiply it by a billion times and you will get a rough idea of how bad the food is at Del'Aziz.

My girlfriend ordered eggs royal, which was supposed to come with 2 "poached" eggs. The eggs looked like they had been napalmed - the yolks were rock hard! I called the waiter over and asked to change the eggs. He replied "oh, so you want soft eggs...". OMG

When the eggs royal came back 15 minutes later, I really felt like going into the kitchen to poach the eggs myself! The eggs were not poached, they had been microwaved!!

Don't even get me started on the service there. When I asked the waiter what kesar cheese was, he answered "some kind of cheese..."

And what is with the plates? My girlfriend and I nearly burnt ourselves touching the plates!

Finally, if you do decide to go, please don't order the pancakes even if it is the last thing you do.

I am now trying to block out the 1 hour we spent at Del'Aziz from my memory.

If the Fat Duck is at one end of the culinary spectrum, Del'Aziz is firmly entrenched at the opposite end.

I've been to this restaurant a few times and you can also rely on there being friendly service and decent food at very reasonable prices. Ideal for an after work bite to eat or a last minute eat out, rather than for a special occasion. I would recommend doing the tapas style option as oppose to a main meal as they seem much better quality. The array of cakes and desserts on offer are fantastic and the portions huge! In terms of wine the Lebanese red is fantastic!
