From quick takeouts to fine dining, Middle Eastern cuisine has it all.

Behesht in Kensal Green
Traditional tapestry and Persian rugs set the scene for a delightful dining experience at one of London’s finest Iranian joints. Friendly staff serve up a selection of hot and cold mezzes; the baba ghanoosh is to die for – grilled aubergines and sesame seeds in a rich yogurt sauce. Feeling healthy? Be wowed by the paneer sabzi: a light spinach salad mixed with fresh green herbs, tarragons, spring onions and crunchy walnuts. Don’t forget to clear your palate with a steamy cup of peppermint tea.

Ali Baba in Queen's Park
Question: Does doner kebab have to be drunken food?
Answer: Absolutely not.
London’s best Turkish takeaway by a country mile, Ali Baba is the man you’re after if you’re looking for a quick bite to eat. From mixed grills to doner kebab patties, prices are cheap without sacrificing quality.
