"I've been hesitant to share my thoughts on this restaurant because I've wanted to keep it as my little secret. It's rare to find a place where the owners and staff prioritize the quality of the food and ambiance over profits. Ironically, this commitment to excellence is what draws people in. And they're certainly flocking to this spot. It’s not just the best restaurant in the area; it far surpasses any Lebanese restaurant in London, and I can confidently say that having dined in many across nearly every borough. None come close. The service, quality, and cleanliness here rival what I would expect in Japan, a place I visit every year, where Michelin stars are around every corner. The decor at Yalla Yalla transports you to another place entirely, and the first sip of mint tea immerses you completely. In summary, I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. If you don’t enjoy it, I’m afraid the issue might be with you."

"We visited The Bell to celebrate our birthday. We received a warm welcome, were shown to our table promptly. We ordered drinks and they arrived quickly. Our food order was taken as soon as we were ready. Two of us chose a Thai Red Curry from the specials board and our other guest chose the Steak and Ale Pie. We had salt and pepper chicken wings to nibble while we waited for our mains. The food did not take too long to come. It was nicely presented, there was plenty of it and it was delicious. We were too full for pudding so we asked for the bill which we received promptly. The service throughout was truly excellent, the food was good and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We look forward to another visit in the future."

"We visited this restaurant again to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The staff took excellent care of us and we enjoyed a lovely lunch with stunning views outdoors. The food was absolutely delicious. We started with the mushroom pastry and salmon pate, followed by duck and the most amazing fish and chips. The dessert, a sticky toffee pudding, was the best we've ever had. The restaurant also boasts an impressive wine selection. While it may not be the most affordable option, the high-quality food and outstanding service make it well worth the price."

So I recommend it for group booking. at a point it was a little difficult to get service when they have a lot waiter, but it is understandable if there were big bookings! was also happy for them that they were so busy. really great ambiente and would come back definitiw."

"We went here as recommended by friends who are vegetarian. They are quite fussy about where they eat so we thought a recommendation from them was a good one. We were not mistaken. The food is completely different to most Indian restaurants and we liked everything we ate (although the fish on the seafood platter is very hot! My daughter hates spicy food and we asked the manager what he recommended. Not only did he recommend a dish for her, but he brought her a sample to taste, which we thought was excellent customer service. Most of the food is mild and delicious so my daughter was as happy as the rest of us. Cannot rate this place highly enough!"
