"Whether you’ve lived in London your whole life or you’re only familiar with the big Primark on Oxford Street, you’ve probably heard of Maroush. This Lebanese restaurant has been around since 1981, proudly taking a prime spot on Edgware Road and known for dripping, meaty shawarmas, kind-of-rubbish interiors, and mismatched clientele that are all part of the charm. It’s not a hot dinner destination, but post-9pm on a weekend, when the chaos of Edgware Road really kicks in, Maroush Express can be a scene (that’s sometimes best to watch from a distance)." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager
