Khamsa

“Khamsa is a unique restaurant with a very authentic Algerian feel. Jamal's humour and bluntness took us by surprise at first, but we soon realised it was all part of his charm. The food was delicious, and he happily catered for my coeliac needs when arranged in advance. The atmosphere was warm and multicultural, with tables chatting, laughing, and sharing stories throughout the evening. What started as shock turned into one of the most enjoyable nights we've had. It even reminded my husband of home. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food and a memorable experience.”

“I never usually leave reviews but this place really surpassed my expectations. It was my first time trying Algerian food, so having a small varied menu helped! The deco was vibrant and atmosphere was cosy. I was surprised at first by the owners bluntness, but as the night went on, you discover it’s part of his charm and humour, which would now be part of the reason I’d return! Aside from that, the food was absolutely delicious, homely and comforting. Everything was home made, including the bread - omg THE BREAD. I can eat this home made bread all day because of its softness!!! I even recommended it to a new couple that sat down before I left because it was so amazing **chefs kiss**. I had the fish tajine (10/10 and if you’re afraid of spice like me, this was a good level) and my partner had the veggie tajine. The only note I’d make is that the veggie tajine had abit too much dried fruits, which can be overpowering. This is all personal preference and my partner just set those aside.
