The 16 Best Restaurants In Paddington - London - The Infatuation

"The tahini-heavy fattoush salad at this Middle Eastern spot on Praed Street tastes too good to actually be healthy. But we’re not going to ask any questions, because that’s not the only dish at Mihbaj that tastes even better than it sounds. The maqluba—a traditional Levantine dish of layered aubergines, tomato, tender lamb, nuts, and rice—is an excellent, wholesome plate of food too. There's a warm, independent coffee shop atmosphere, with the menu—and wait times—of a full-blown restaurant. But rest assured, the food is just as good out of a takeaway box as it is in their tiny cafe." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
