Home-style Gulf dishes with flavorful lamb shank and machboos
"Chelsea has a pretty bougie and expensive reputation, and places like Villa Mamas very much live up to that. A mix of starter dips like âeggplant explosionâ (aubergine in whey sauce), hummus, and mathrooba (a fragrant, porridge-like, chicken stew) will leave you almost ÂŁ40 out of pocket. That said, the food at this Bahraini spot is tasty and if youâve got money to spend, then you could do a lot worse than sharing a couple of small plates and a main between two." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"Villa Mamas is a Chelsea favourite for Bahraini dishes with a twist, and during Ramadan their ÂŁ65 three-course set menu will include things like jirish kibbeh and Bahraini chicken masli." - rianne shlebak
"Itâs pissing it down and out of nowhere the ick creeps up and taps you on the shoulder. After all, you do really like making out in Victoria Park when itâs 30 degrees but lately you have started to question whether they really are just following those Jeremy Clarkson stan accounts on Instagram purely âfor the lolsâ. Next time the sun once again graces you with its presence, head to Villa Mamas. A Bahraini spot 10 minutes from Sloane Square, this place is the ultimate litmus test for the success of a ârelationshipâ which might solely rest on your obsession with Solar Power by Lorde. Sit on the terrace, eat a lot of hummus, and fuck it, enjoy having someone kiss your forehead while youâre wearing Birkenstocks." - heidi lauth beasley
"At this Bahraini spot in Chelsea, cocktails are half price between 4pm to 7pm, every day." - rianne shlebak
"The Bahraini spot on Elystan Street has a cute terrace out front with little benches, pillows, and the extremely welcome addition of heat lamps. Throw in a warming bowl of mathrooba plus plenty of bread to soak and scoop (the hummus is also very good) and youâve got a comfy and cosy meal." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
