    Very pleasant dinner in a cosy restaurant in Kensington. The food was good but not incredible. The staff were nice but not incredible and definitely not Egyptian. The atmosphere was very cosy and romantic but it was also empty on a Saturday night so seems like it’s not too popular of a place. We enjoyed the food but were hoping for more Egyptian specialities that would strike us as different. Most of the menu offered things you would find elsewhere. We paid 72£ for two starters and two mains which seemed reasonable given the location. I’d recommend the baked okra which was delicious.

    We went to this restaurant based on the reviews online and the price seemed great for the tasting menu and wine pairing. We were on a 4 day trip to London so we booked and to be honest we left a little disappointed. There was only 1 other table being used that night. It was very quiet. The food was a little disappointing. The presentation and service was great. The food just seems to be lacking something.

    Something different Egyptian food is spic d lightly and cooking is perfect for each of the courses. The traditional soup - Molokheya- is a little slimy so if texture is not your thing then be careful. It is a wonderful taste if you dare to. Slow cooked lamb was pretty good !

    Beautiful place and reasonable prices. Only but is that we ordered the tasting menu which was not very Egyptian, which was the main reason for going there. My recommendation is order a la carte

    Absolutely amazing place. Beautiful, quiet, peaceful and delicious food. Staff are incredibly helpful and kind, Alexandrie has a really positive ambience and the food is amazing both in terms of taste, quality and price. Could not recommend highly enough.

    Do not miss this tucked away gem! Absolutely delicious food and brilliant service. Decor was beautiful and being off the main road it was quiet and had a chilled atmosphere.

    Quite a nice place to go for Egyptian cuisine. I like lentil soup and the Ethical foie parfait are good choice for starter. We tried the Molokheya and poussin for main. Molokheya is a traditional Egyptian soup with a slimy texture. The flavour is good and the grilled baby chicken is tender and juicy. The lamb shank is also cooked to perfect. Unfortunately, their desserts are not as good. I’m quite disappointed with the baklava so the whole meal finished at a bit of low.

    Outstanding ! My first time Excperience of Egyptian fine dining and it didn't let me down. Beautifully plated and great combinations of flavours. Will go back for the full tasting menu.

    First time trying Egyptian food and we were pleasantly surprised! Service was friendly, and we were given a voucher for 25% off to use next time (which we will). It was quite quiet for a Friday night, and the restaurant started to get cleared up around us, so we felt a bit rushed to leave. My sea bass main course was the highlight.

    The best restaurant I went to during my trip to London. Everything perfect! From the service to the food! My boyfriend and I shared a lamb which quietly satiated both of us (we just ordered an extra mashed potato) Magnificent restaurant

    Our group did the traditional tasting menu with the wine pairing. Everything was fantastic. One of the best lamb dishes I have experienced. The service was great and responsive. This was a great last meal for our time in London. Give this place a try.

    Walked in Alexandrie after the restaurant across the street where we were planning to dine was having a private party. We were hesitant because the place was empty however Alexandrie did not disappoint. The Tiger King Prawns were perfectly presented as were all plates and were delicious. I had the Molokheya with Chicken and the wife had the Traditional Oven Baked Okra (Bamia) with Lamb. Both very tasty. We weren’t planning on having dessert however the server requested we try their Mango Parfait; I’m a chocoholic, however this dessert was on point. Thanks Alexandrie! This was a great way for us to end our trip to London. John - South Carolina

    They didn't have the green soup, lamb shanks or chicken when we went here. The waiter was friendly and polite but was unable to offer alternatives, although the free hummus and babaganoush dips with some flatbread were welcome after the initial disappointment. The food was tasty, however the options were limited, even if all options were available. It also feels like this place might be better for takeout than going in for a meal as there was noone around, however 5 minutes down the road on High St. Ken, places were packed... not sure how long this place will be here if this is a typical experience, tbh.

    Fab service and really friendly staff, good looked good but taste wise it while it started pleasantly enough each dish tasted similar to the last so rather than a harmony of flavours changing to make music a one note drone drowned out the others. Not what you want with a testing menu. Hopefully just the chef having a bad day

    Last night dinner was great! The food was amazing, especially the lamb chunks. Credits to the chef and the service was great too, catering the children’s need as well. We were well looked after. Thank you

    The food was extraordinary with generous portions and unique tastes. Sammy was very friendly and informative. We had one of our best meals in the year.
