"At central London’s only Palestinian street food destination, diners know they are about to experience good falafel when they arrive at the table with a golden hue on the sesame seeds. They have a flat and oval surface but enough soft depth in a centre slightly tinged with green flecks, whose flavour strikes a balance between spice and herb. The tahini sauce is bright and lemony, and together with the bracing hit of pickled green chilli from the accompanying kabis kar, a mouthful will pack a punch. Hiba serves its falafel either as a single dish, or in a classic khobez wrap." - Joel Hart
"The silky hummus and verdant falafel are superior to the shawarma here, but the lamb shawarma wrap is still worth ordering. The meat itself could be more charred but it is pretty well-cooked, and the spicing has a sweet touch. The toasting on the wrap is well judged too. What’s more is that the chefs endeavour to pair the meats with the ingredients that suit them best, as is done in Palestinian cuisine. Thus, whilst the chicken comes with toum, the lamb comes with tahini sauce, tomato, raw onion, and tangy pickles. The shatta is tangy and sour, with the heat almost background, and is worth ordering on the side for the occasional dip. Expect startlingly rapid service." - Joel Hart
