Levant book Cafe

I have now been here five times. It’s literally a hidden gem hidden in Park Royal. Either the locals or the Arab community know about this place. If you’re craving or curious for Syrian breakfast then come here. I always order ‘fuul’ can’t spell it correctly and the hummus with meat on top. They add the melted ghee and that overall elevates the taste and releases the spices. I’ve had it once and ever since then I have now been craving this at least once a month. Great customer service you feel like you’re at someone’s home or back garden. It’s decorated very homey or Syrian.

This place is such a cute little hidden gem! I’d never come across it before, but it turned out to be such a lovely spot for after-dinner tea. The atmosphere is cozy, relaxed, and has a real homey feel that makes you want to linger. They also have games you can play, which adds a fun and unique touch, I hadn’t tried the ones they had before, so I’m really looking forward to going back and giving them a go. Overall, it’s a charming and welcoming place, perfect for unwinding with friends or just enjoying a quiet, relaxed evening.

The halawet el-jibn here is my favourite dessert. All the bites here are fresh and flavourful with a huge selection of Levantine desserts. The Turkish coffee is also perfectly made. Inside the decor is warm and authentic and makes you feel at home.

The Kunafa was amazing and well priced. Beautiful shop full of character, nice staff and toilets clean. Be warned, dodgy area, though! It's definitely a go-out-of-your-way sorta place, but a hidden gem indeed 💎

A unique spot that’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area. The homey vibe and quirky character make it a cozy place to spend time, whether you’re reading, playing chess, or catching up with friends. They have a wide variety of kunafa to choose from, the chai was absolutely delicious, and prices are very reasonable. A real hidden gem!

The place is beautifully decorated, and I tried their coffee, ice cream, and dessert — all of which were very good. The main downside, however, is the service. Despite the café being nearly empty during my first visit, the staff forgot to bring my coffee. On my second visit, there were no staff members in sight; I waited for around 10 minutes, calling out to see if anyone was there, until someone eventually showed up. If the service improves, this place has great potential to be a cosy and charming spot.

I had been meaning to come to this cafe for many months now and it did not disappoint! At first glance the atmosphere is very pleasant and authentic. There is a good selection of desserts to choose from. We got the baklava with cream, the rose rolled ice cream and the kanefeh with cream. All were delicious and not too sweet. The kanefeh was our favourite. We also got cardamom tea which was nothing special, but the karak tea was amazing. The cafe is a little overpriced. You’ll find yourself paying £5 for a small baklava with cream. Another qualm is the lack of attentiveness from the staff. They forgot we ordered ice cream so I had to go up and ask again. The man who brought the food over to our table was not particularly warm or welcoming either. My last complaint is the disposable plastic cutlery we were given. It was very flimsy, making the food hard to cut up and eat. Plus it’s awful for the environment. I’d like to see the owners invest in some proper knives and forks in the future. Overall, I was very impressed with the food and will be coming back to try more.

This place is a hidden gem, the atmosphere, service and interior is amazing. Snacks is great, had strong coffee. Recommend this place if you’re in the area!
