    A little North African jem, with food style spanning from Tunisia to Morocco, authentic and hearty. Generous portions, flavourful, a real soul food experience to pair with a small selection of North African wines.

    DO NOT HESITATE… EAT HERE! My husband is Algerian and has raved about this restaurant for years since he lived in London. After 5 years (& a pandemic) we made our way to London from California and he made sure we checked out Azou. The food here is incredible, the ambiance is beautiful and the staff are very friendly. My recommendations: Start with the sardines, brik, bourek, and the bastilla (the combination of the meat and the sweetness of the cinnamon is such a wonderful taste) Entree: Tajine zitoune (I love olives) and couscous royale (merguez, the lamb sausages are my absolute fav)

    It was dark and warm when we entered. The stickers on the front of the shop does no justice for the place. More lights are needed as it dull. Victoria the waitress failed to watch customers. We asked for mint three times and she still forgot. There was only three customers so it should not have been difficult. Not great service. The food was a disappointment and over cooked you could taste the burnt parts of the food. The second portion came it was like it had been frozen and put in the microwave. The chicken was not tender and not tasty. I have had the dish before this was not pleasant atall very dry It was really annoying as with paid £33 for two staters a bottle water and a pot of mint tea. Over priced and quality of food was not great. I would not go agian.

    So delicious! A great place to experience Moroccan, Tunisian and Algerian food all in one place. The tagline was fantastic - just barely touch the lamb and it melts from the bone

    The Azou is a North-African restaurant with a full menu including a range of tagine dishes: chicken to lamb, seafood, and vegetarian choices. The waiter was very knowledgeable and helped us select the side dishes. I chose the traditional lamb with prunes, apricots, almonds, and walnuts. The sweetness of the sauce perfectly complemented the tender piece of lamb. There is a wide range of desserts: Baked nut cake, lemon sorbet, vanilla ice cream, and authentic coffee variations. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. We highly recommend it.

    This place is fantastic. Delicious food, lovely ambience and great service! My partner is Algerian and I wanted to take him here because of the reviews. He loved the food, a couple of the dishes his Mother would make. We had the Hummus, Bourek, Constantine Tagine and the Chicken Couscous. All the food was delicious!! The tagine however was a standout!

    This place is very authentic and welcoming. The starters stole the show. The main course was good as well. If you are not someone who enjoys eating spicy I would be careful. Also the portions were too big for my liking. Other than that this is a great place.

    North African cuisine so good your mother in-law will love it and so will your wedding guests! I accidently discovered this little gem while on a stroll in Chiswick in 2006 and the food, amazing staff and the wonderful cheeky chap that runs the place,Chris, have always made it a worthwhile evening. As a Native North African, it was always hard to find restaurant food that comes close to home cooked cuisine from back home; Azou with it's cozy ambiance serves up dishes with the love of a homecooked meal coupled with the refined delicate flavours of a Michelin star restaurant. I have always enjoyed every meal at Azou, I even took my Mrs on a date there and she liked it so much she took her mom (a North African lady who refuses to eat anything from outside) and she loved it so much we ended up having our wedding dinner here. The food was great (as always) but beyond feeding the hungry guests, we want to thank Chris and his team for helping create one of our most cherished memories. We will be back as always.

    Very authentic experience. Service was nice and personal, very accommodating. The tagines are really special, we were also treated to some homemade chilli sauce that was so good we bought extra to take home! Would go again.

    One can’t never be disappointed by this restaurant. It has great atmosphere, wonderful cuisines, very helpful and friendly crew and reasonable price. We started with appetizers including falafels/salad plate, calamari fries and the baba ganoush. The texture of baba ganoush was so good with the flat pitta. We ordered a king prawn tajine and a lamb couscous as our main dishes. The chewy king prawns were very fresh and well-seasoned. You could even taste the sea in your mouth! The lamb was also cooked well with a tender texture and wonderful flavor. It was also served with a broth. Loved the two mains! Dessert was a bit too sweet for me but all of my friends loved it. Classic mint tea was a great choice in the cold weather. Will definitely visit again.

    Despite I’m not in a position to claim it is a very authentic restaurant as I’m not Moroccan, I have a very strong feeling it actually is! The lamb tajine with prunes is divine and so is the couscous! Very kind service and nice atmosphere. New fav in the neighbourhood!

    I first visited this restaurant in 2011 having watched Gordon Ramsey's show on finding the Best NorthAfrican Restaurant in the UK. I had a brilliant experience then and after a long gap went back for two visits recently. The service is consistently excellent, the food is top notch! My favourites are the Constantine Tagine with a couscous and the Baba ganoush. Will definitely be coming back more often!

  • 5/5 Alison A. 1 year ago on Google
    A birthday dinner for 4 of us. It was absolutely wonderful. The service was excellent the chef came out and chatted to us and the hospitality was second to none. We felt really welcome. The food was so delicious. We were recommended to have rice with some dishes , bread with others and it was just right. The decor is very North African, really beautiful and all very comfortable. We had a great evening!

    We are so lucky to have such a wonderful North African restaurant in Hammersmith. I always get the tajine el ain - such tender and delicious lamb shank cooked with prunes, apricots and walnuts. Yum yum!

    The food was perfect, so flavourful and soft but what made this restaurant great, was the service. Wonderful chef and wonderful decor - we would highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Balbinder S. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing food. The lamb tagine Constantine was perfect. Starters of calamari and hummus was excellent. Highly recommended Azou for any evening out for great authentic and affordable food.

    A very nice and cosy restaurant with very lovely staff and chef, the food was absolutely amazing, everything is full of flavour and spot on, will definitely go back

  • 5/5 Zahid Tanjir Morsalin O. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is the star of this restaurant. They have a wide range of options to choose from but the common denominator is they all burst with flavors. The chef himself looks after the guests, recommends food and tries to make sure everything's going smooth. The music and decor deserves a shoutout too.

    We just walked in off the street without a reservation and boy are we pleased we did! We were made to feel extremely welcome and the food, oh what a delight! If we ever get to this area of London again - we would certainly give this another visit! Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 laura p. 2 years ago on Google
    Went for a last minute trip to London and saw great reviews for this spot. They didn't let us down! Can't wait to come back and get more. Take tips from the staff, they have an incredible menu and know what matches. Great customer service, the chef even came to say hello. Highly recommended

    North African food, well known to be exceptional is certainly mastered in Azou's kitchen. From the flavors the textures to the perfect cooking... the experience is unique. The lamb made me blush when I saw how sensually it strips from it's bone. First bite I almost fainted in the prunes. Brilliant service as well, Mohammed is wonderful. Merci pour cette belle experience. J'ai prévu de revenir et espère pouvoir féliciter Chef Azou de vive voix.
