Description:
WATERLOO. The Ottoman Empire meets Waterloo at this chic Turkish restaurant, which attracts more than its fair share of well-heeled tourists and sophisticated business types. The stark, gallery-like decor imparts cutting-edge appeal, while friendly service and spacious seating make dining a pleasure. A healthy approach to cooking makes good-value dishes like grilled lamb, fish seasoned with coriander, and fresh squid with green lentils and chickpeas even more appealing. TUBE: Southwark |

Description:
MAYFAIR. Located in a bustling mish-mash of labyrinthine streets, this pleasant eatery provides an upscale, almost cosmopolitan, glimpse at Lebanese cuisine. The restaurant – whose name comes from a 9th-century palace in Grenada, Spain – occupies a historic building and features an elegant decor, highlighted by fresh-cut flowers and greenery. Of course, the cuisine is nothing short of unforgettable, thanks to traditional dishes like falafel, houmous and famous homemade bread. Al fresco seating is available during warmer seasons.

Description:
CLERKENWELL. After perusing Exmouth Market's antique bookshops and boutiques, you may find yourself in need of nourishment. This sleek Moorish restaurant is just what the doctor ordered. The waitstaff, known for its professionalism and solid work ethic, gets high marks, as does the creative wine list. The menu, however, reigns supreme, thanks to well-prepared dishes such as wood-roasted skate with peas, clams and salsa verde, pulled from deepest southern Spain and the Mediterranean. Sidewalk seating is available during warmer months. |

Description:
MARYLEBONE. A basement eatery hidden away on Wigmore Street, Levant seems a world away from its bustling Marylebone setting. Dramatically decorated with Eastern Mediterranean and North African influences, the place evokes a bazaar, complete with Moroccan lanterns, a stylish bar, and beautiful belly dancers. Levant's well-conceived fare scarcely takes a back seat to its posh atmosphere, thanks to traditional Lebanese dishes like pan-fried salmon marinated with pomegranate, almond-coated squid, and falafel.

Description:
KNIGHTSBRIDGE. This restaurant is part of a chain whose popularity has only increased since the first one opened in 1981.

BAYSWATER. Folks who stray into Bayswater heap high praise on this eatery, where Iranian-inspired dishes and a comfortable dining room attract expats from all over the city.

ISLINGTON. Folks in Islington stand ready to heap proverbial laurels on this regal Ottoman eatery. Spacious, relaxed, and boasting the feel of an Old World cafe, Iznik invites patrons to settle in for a meal of grilled lamb, stuffed aubergine (eggplant), and Mediterranean vegetable skewers. Of course, Turkish sensibility requires that you stick around for homemade pudding and coffee. Just be careful, Turkish coffee is famously charged with caffeine. TUBE: Highbury & Islington |

Description:
KENSINGTON. Oh-so-stylish Pasha is a brilliant combination: exotic, authentic decor and traditional Moroccan food, enhanced by the scents of spices and incense, warm service and even the occasional belly dancer. The setting is striking, with yards of artfully draped red silks, hand-carved furniture and atmospheric lighting. But the food is just as stunning. Popular dishes include tagines and couscous plates; "feasts," multi-course set menus, are as well. There is a nice selection of wines from Morocco, Lebanon and Greece, plus an extensive cocktail menu. Perfect for either a romantic date or a night out with friends. |
