It's lovely to find a good Palestinian restaurant near Paddington. We selected a number of lunch starters as well as a main, all of which were 10/10. Would return to try the breakfast menu next time.

Food was beautifully presented, freshly cooked, and tasted delicious. Everyone in our party of 7 said the same. Our server was polite and friendly. A great spot near the station. Will definitely return.

First visit to Mihbaj. It was for breakfast with a visiting colleague. Good options including vegan/vegetarian. Food was good. Service was generally good - could be a bit faster. Would visit again if there's an opportunity.

My colleague and I ordered the beef burger. We forgot to ask what the beef patties were seasoned with because they were ABSOLUTELY LOVELY!

Little place, we had brunch, which was very good with good choices of vegetarian and non breakfasts. We were downstairs, which was fine. No pressure, but attentive service. Excellent place, given the proximity to the station, which generally leads to poor quality food and service. Toilet was very clean

A characterful small restaurant (with more seating downstairs) - we enjoyed the fast, friendly service and the middle eastern food was great. Ideally positioned just a minute from Paddington station.

Went with work friends and had such an amazing time. We were seated in an exclusive outdoor booth area, which gave us privacy and an amazing cosy setting to catch up as a group. The food was utterly amazing - for me the stand out dishes were the sujuk, baba ghanoush and the hummus. My friends absolutely loved the lamb dumplings! I have no doubt we’ll be back in the near future. Shukran for such a lovely meal!

Great cafe with interesting menu , welcoming staff and delicious food. Booked for early supper before catching a train and it was better than anything else we could have found in the area - absolutely delicious - my husband tried an avocado, banana and date smoothie - I thought sounded horrible but it was fabulous! Lamb dishes were superb as were all the accompanying sauces. Will come back when we are next in London

Booked a table and ground floor level full so went down to lower ground- quiet and no One else there. Ordered the baba ganoushe which tasted like it was a mix of aubergine and humous. The fried okra is good but there was too much oil. Order at the till and food is delivered at table.

We loved this place. Despite it being quite a chilly day we enjoyed sitting out in the conservatory with its benches and cushions. Staff were very friendly and helpful over unfamiliar dishes and we found the food very generous and flavourful.

This restaurant took a long time to serve us food, despite us only ordering what they told us was ready. They stated it was because the time of day was very busy, however the place was not very packed.

The food was really good and the reviews were the reason we chose to book a table for a Friday evening meal a few days in advance. When we arrived we realised it was more of a cafe than a restaurant. I had requested a nice table upstairs on my booking (based on reviews) but our reservation wasn’t set out, later that evening saw that they had tried to reconfirm my booking 1 hour before we were due and were busy driving to London so didn’t respond. I am not sure if this was why we ended up with a tall table with uncomfortable stools. A walk in group had taken the only two smaller nice tables at the back and were waiting for their group to arrive, they told us we couldn’t sit there. After the waiter gad said we could sit there. Annoying when we gad booked. The waiter was pleasant and helpful serving the food and the, food was really excellent. I would visit again but only if a comfortable table was free and wouldn’t bother booking as it seems my request was ignored.

The restaurant is not clean, the service was really poor, the two men working behind the counter were far too busy, my wife had finished her breakfast before I had to go and tell them they hadn’t brought mine yet. Food was ok, nothing special. Would never god back, also had to order at the counter ourselves.

Had lunch solo, A small cafe feel with some seating outside , at the window, the garden area and also downstairs. Sat at the window with two seats, the single adjacent to as a bit cramped. Had an amazing dish a called Maqluba which was excellent. Tasty yellow rice with cripsy onion topping and also almond flakes. A very nice sauce accompaniment, could do with more lamb pieces. Order at the counter and food delivered to table.

It was a large group of us gathering for a family reunion and the hosts were very accommodating, giving us full use of the dining room downstairs and very responsive to our needs. In addition, the food is very delicious and the service is quick.
