Assaha is simultaneously twee & enchanting, & very carefully promoted by a Lebanese parent company with a social conscience. The food follows a comfortingly familiar pattern, from a harvest festival of raw vegetables & pickles to start things off, through assorted mezze plates (moutabal, garlic-scented labneh & hoummos) to shawarma & grills, plus fruit & baklava to finish. After a dazzling start, readers reckon some dishes now ‘miss the mark’; service also engenders mixed reviews, from ‘amenable’ to ‘the worst’. Expect juices, coffees & hookahs, but no booze.

Cute décor, spacious yet cosy and only a short walk from Paddington train/tube station - this was a great dinner choice for me and two friends. We had a mostly veggie meal and particularly liked the spicy potatoes and grilled halloumi. It was definitely good value for money but service was quite slow - it seemed as though they were down a couple of staff members and so we had to ask for things constantly (water, dessert menu, bill). Annoyingly they also didn't have any deserts, although we only found this out after having asked for the desert menu, studied it and picked our options and then tried to order!! Again probably down to lack of staff. Overall very good though and I'd return if I was in that neck of the woods.

This is not the first time that I dined at Aassah. But during my last visit (and the visit before this) I found the service not up to the standard as I experienced in the past. I had to remind the waitress several times of things that were missing. Not everyone was served at the same time. I didn't have my starter with the rest of the guests. So my starter was brought out much later. Also, I found the quality of the food has dropped. I found the chicken at times was undercooked. On a few occasions I and some of my other guests had to spit it out. Also, the menu price has increased. The increased price does not reflect the service or the food itself. I was a little disappointed. However, the venue is nicely decorated as before. But the main point is to enjoy good food with good company, in a nice place served in a timely manner, by people with a smile. I don't believe that was the case this time. I hope you are able to consider my experience to improve the menu, value and service.

Had a wonderful evening, haven't been here in over 2 years. Food was very good, starters were the best very fresh. For the mains went for the grilled chicken which was very moist and succulent. Only downside I can think of was the down-stairs seating which was unavailable. The waiter said you need to make that request when booking, it's like an Arab Suq down there so missed out on that.

I had a business Lunch at the Restaurant and what was supposed to be 1.5hr Lunch became a 2.5hr lunch. Waiter was rarely to be seen and orders placed took a long time to come out in spite us being nearly the only ones in the restaurant. The saving grace of the place was that the food was excellent but I would not recommend this place for anything but a leisure meal and do not expect good service. - Quite disappointed Great Food destroyed by very poor service.

The first visit to this restaurant for basically a business lunch. The place was virtually empty when we arrived and we had the pick of the tables. The menu is somewhat restricted yet we were all impressed with the quality of the food ordered. It was well prepared and presented and we all found our choices delicious. The service was casual but friendly. The restaurant is not licensed yet some traditional Lebanese non-alcoholic drinks were available and these were superb, especially the lemonade with mint. The venue is close to Paddington Station.
