Akub Restaurant

The 24 Best Brunches In London - London - The Infatuation

"Akub is a charming, stone-wall-clad Palestinian restaurant in Notting Hill where brunch is the most important meal of the day. Order a spread of creamy labaneh sprinkled with za’atar, qalayet bandora (eggs in a rich, slow-cooked tomato sauce), and nutty cauliflower fritters with a tangy coriander tahini. We also usually go for the bread basket, and start dipping and scooping until all the plates are clean." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna

The 5 Best Brunches In Notting Hill - London - The Infatuation

"Akub is a charming Palestinian restaurant where brunch is the most important meal of the day. At the pretty spot, brunch is all about getting a spread: creamy labaneh sprinkled with aromatic za’atar, qalayet bandora (eggs in a rich, slow-cooked tomato sauce), and nutty cauliflower fritters that come with tangy coriander tahini. Get the bread basket too, and start dipping and scooping until all the plates are clean, or you’re too full for another bite of fava bean foul." - rianne shlebak

"Named after the flowering thistle that’s also known as 'cardoon', Akub celebrates traditional Palestinian recipes, while simultaneously invigorating them with contemporary twists. The colours and intense flavours are particularly evident in sharing dishes like the ‘crunchy mansaf’, which consists of crispy golden parcels stuffed with rice and tender lamb shoulder. Everything is served in a bright, airy space situated on an equally colourful Notting Hill street. Accompany the food with wine from a list combining French favourites with options from Palestine and Jordan." - Michelin Inspector

Where To Go For A Third Date In London - London - The Infatuation

"Are you ready for your first holiday together? Probably. It’s better to find out if they’re one of those people who claim to find reading Dostoevsky calming nice and early, right? Reading habits aside, Akub is a warm Palestinian restaurant with stone-clad walls and olive trees that will transport you to somewhere sunny that constitutes a sunset Cigarettes After Sex playlist. It’s on one of those picture-perfect roads in Notting Hill and although some of the bigger dishes can be hit or miss, the dips and small plates make for a great date spread. Creamy, aromatic labaneh and the scoop-ready bread basket, we’re looking at you." - heidi lauth beasley
