The best find in Earls Court and we just loved everything about the place that we went back again and again during our short trip. A home like environment, excellent service and the delicious food. We had the Arayees, the Awarma, the Kofta Kash Kash and the Aubergine salad. Haven’t had better arayees than this with generous filling of meat, good portion of felafel and shawarma. The food is authentic and absolutely fresh. If you are looking for Arabic / Middle Eastern food, then this has to be your go to place

I love Lebanese food but hadn't tried Egyptian cuisine before. I enjoyed a Lebanese appetizer and Egyptian main. Both were delicious!

Beyond words at how this place isn’t more talked about. I almost never bother to write up a review but this is hands down the best restaurant I’ve gone to in ages. All the staff was so helpful and kind and the food was delicious and exactly as pictured. 10/10 from me

Best Lebanese & Egyptian food I’ve had in London ever! It’s not crowded, didn’t need reservation, and the food is literally to die for. Not only that but they put so much effort into making them look pretty!! I got the - mixed grill (loads of meat) - Fattah Chicken (MUST GET 1000%) - Hawashi (triangle things, good but would be better with a dipping sauce!) - Osmallieh (dessert sweet n creamy) Please get the fattah chicken chef special. You will thank me later

Oh man. This was AMAZING. Service was incredible (so kind & welcoming, especially the older gentleman), food was so delicious (truly words can't describe the fattah chicken and osmaileyah) and it was open late! So many places around them close around 10, so it was nice that they were open later. They were also super friendly to solo travelers! Such a shame I went at the end of my trip and not sooner

Bassim has been incredibly welcoming! We truly felt at home. The food is delicious from the spicy hummus to the prawns... Unbelievably well made, true home made Lebanese cuisine. I will recommend it to everyone and for sure will come back next time I'm in London ! شكرا جزيلا!

This is the first time we try Lebanese cuisine. We ordered aubergines salad, deep fried sausage, baby chicken and lamb cubes tajines (stewed). Frankly speaking I don’t know whether they are authentic but they all taste good. The staff is very friendly and we can have lunch in a quiet place. In case you are bored of ordinary food options, food at Afandena is definitely highly recommended.

Ordered s couple of mezze dishes and every one was just delicious. The owner was extremely friendly and talked with me (I initiated it) he was patient with questions and clarified everything you could imagine to ask. Wonderful food, wonderful person and the Ambiente was perfect
