Abla’s
is
a
restaurant
serving
homestyle
Lebanese
food.
It
is
named
after
Abla
Amad,
widely
known
as
‘the
queen
of
Lebanese
cooking’.
The
fit
out
is
cosy
but
sophisticated
with
clean,
white
tablecloths
and
dim
lighting.
Between
the
4
of
us,
this
was
more
than
enough
food
and
we
took
some
leftovers
home.
Everything
came
out
gradually,
we
waited
for
some
dishes
longer
than
others.
The
Batata
Harra
are
always
delicious,
they
are
a
must-order
for
us
when
we
go
to
a
Lebanese
restaurant.
They
are
slightly
spicy
and
tangy.
Their
mixed
dips
were
perfect
–
generous
portion,
packed
full
of
flavour,
served
with
Lebanese
bread,
my
favourite
was
the
Baba
Ghannouj.
The
meats
came
with
a
side
of
tabouleh
(which
we
completely
forgot
about
when
we
ordered
and
the
bowls
were
big).
The
chicken
was
succulent,
nicely
seasoned.
The
lamb
was
a
bit
too
chewy
for
our
liking,
we
definitely
preferred
the
chicken.
The
lamb
sausages
weren’t
anything
special
but
still
good.
If
you
like
chicken
livers,
I
recommend
trying
them
here.
They
had
a
lovely
garlic
and
lemon
dressing
which
was
addicting.
Both
salads
were
faultless
–
exactly
how
I’d
have
them
at
home.
This
is
not
a
place
where
you
will
be
ripped
off,
despite
the
prices
being
higher
than
an
average
eatery.
Portions
are
so
generous,
just
how
your
grandma
would
feed
you.
We
struggled
with
putting
the
plates
on
the
table
as
it
was
too
small
for
the
4
of
us,
it
was
more
like
a
2-seater
which
became
a
little
annoying.
But
overall,
I
highly
recommend!
This
is
quality
Lebanese
food,
perfect
for
a
date
night
or
when
you
miss
your
grandma’s
cooking.
