It's all about authentic Mediterranean cooking at this classy-looking Kensington High Street newcomer, with the focus firmly on speciality pittas that really do look like the real deal. Don't be surprised to be invited in for a free taster – these guys seem keen to get the word out. 

Those pittas play host to a hefty range of toppings and fillings, from sea bass with preserved lemon, tzatziki, spicy tomato salad and rocket to shakshuka, chargrilled lamb with tahini, chicken schnitzel with houmous, and sabih – a pita wrapped snuggly around fired aubergine, potato, egg, tahini, tomato, parsley, pickled cucumber and red cabbage. Sides (all vegan) include chargrilled broccoli, houmous and roasted sweet potato.

There's a solid selection of beer and wine available, as well as a range of homemade soft drops that include orange and carrot, ice tea and pomegranate and lemon. Keep an eye out for desserts, too – we've heard good things about their chocolate cake.
