"A spacious Syrian restaurant on Uxbridge Road, with a name that translates to ‘the old days’ and a rustic, exposed brick dining room to match, this is an excellent spot for Middle Eastern classics. Come here for some of the best mezze in the area in a lively setting where you won’t be told to keep it down. It’s more of a sit-down, starters and mains type of situation so come here if you’ve got an hour or so to kill before heading to the Empire." - rianne shlebak
