"Berut Bistro is a warm Marylebone restaurant where friendly servers rush around to make space, pushing tables together and replacing plates of caramelised beef-topped hummus that have been wiped clean with plates of golden falafel in a silky tahini sauce. Around the counter, friends sit side by side, tucking into crisp fattoush salads and recounting their days while splitting a shish taouk. Stick to the bar for a casual but impressive third date, or come in a small group for the adorable four-person window nook." - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, jake missing
