Abiba Cuisine

I remember drinking at a bar just across the street from there. Met two guys who were dishwashers there. Asked me to check it out so I did. Very friendly atmosphere, giood service, good food. Ali, Oliver, two good guys, hope they see thi some day. I look forward to a return to London just to see this place once more. Such a wonderul experiance to have. A taste of the world in London. A staff from all over the globe. I highly suggest this fine establishment should you be in the Bayswater area.

After coming here about 4 months ago I was completely shocked at how bad a restaurant can get in such short time. Maybe the fact that there was a sign outside saying that an "Experienced chef required" should have been enough to not enter the place. Last time the food, service and portions were great. I have no idea what has happened since then but it was really cr*p this time. The portions were tiny and badly cooked, the beef was way over cooked and as dry as the sole of my shoes. I would not recommend this place to anyone anymore. Shame with a place that was quite nice before...

we will go there again as its cheap and cheerful,those expecting far too much for little money should go and purchase a dictionary instead as their spelling is so bad they probably couldnt read the menu anyway!!!!.normal food at below average prices,expect that and you wont be dissapointed..well worth a visit..we will go back again and again

Me and my girlfriend went to Abiba one friday evening, just taking a chance because we did not find a place in our regular restaurants. I have to admit Abiba was a pleasant surprise. The ambience was nice, the staff was so attentive and well-behaved and the food was great. On top of that, the bill was only £48 including 3-course meal for both of us and two bottles of French red wine!!!! Could you ask for anything more???????

I've to say that this place is the only place I went out without paying and without eating.

The foos was really really bad. I've ordered a simple plate of salmon pasta, over cooked and different piecs of pasta came in a plate with a red acid saulce and salmon and meet sauces. I'm not difficult and due to the standard of the place, my expactation wasn't low but I've to say that this was just impossible to eat.

To desribe this place in a nutshell, its great for families especially with young children ! I had my 3 years olds 3rd birthday party there and it was the best kids party ! the staff were excellent and very attentive, all the guest enjoyed themselves and the kids loved the play area. One of the best (value for money) family restaurants I have been to.

The food was great, the atmosphere relaxed and friendly, and although we did get our appetisers after our entree (apparently very new waitress) this did not detract at all. Had a great night. Amazing value!

I am a local mum with 2 years old twin. I have been visiting Abiba cuisine with my family since they opened early this year.

I’m pleased that Abiba is becoming the local hang out place as they offer excellent food during the day and superb evening menu . I met two other mothers in this place and now we meet regularly over a nice meal while our children enjoy their play area.

We decided to put this review especially to thank the girls working at Abiba, for being so attentive and very kind to our children.

Here, we have to say that we were absolutely shocked with two reviews dated 18th November and 29th July which we think that the same person wrote both reviews (long, detailed and very similar writing style).

We strongly disagree with the contents of those reviews as we were never experienced anything was mentioned there.

Our advice to the person who wrote those sad reviews is to leave our local Abiba alone.

It is the only restaurant with a play area locally and we do need many many other places like Abiba in London.

During the day we love the freshly squeezed juices, fresh salads, fruit salad, our kids love the pasta etc… Whenever I visit in the evening with my husband, Lebanese vegetarian and Seabass with rice are my favourites.

Relaxing atmosphere, very attentive staff and excellent food.

I took my boyfriend for a meal last nite and I have to say I was not really that impressed. The service was excellent but the appetiser was very basic - bread with olive oil ....olives with strnge after tase

Mail meal I had chicken with red wine that was very nice but side vegetables were bland.

My partner had garlic mushrooms were ok and mixed grill for main he actually said the sausage was disgusting. the rest was ok.

Price was good - wine was great overll I was dissapointed considering the good write up.
