Ayam Zaman

“Really delicious fresh food. We tried the lentil soup, mixed grill/chicken shawarma, cheese minakeesh and the fresh orange juice. The star of the show was surprisingly the chicken shish tawouk, which is never my first choice. The chicken was impressively juicy and tender without feeling slimey. As a chip connoisseur, these were crunchy and fresh. Paired with the ketchup and toum, very delicious. The shawarma had good flavour, but interestingly I did prefer the tawouk, but that’s personal preference. And the lamb cubes were also delicious and soft, perfect with the toum. All in all a very enjoyable meal and we will surely be revisiting. I also love that fresh juices are an option and for a relatively reasonable price. To end we had a mint tea and baklawa which I don’t believe is made in house (I could be wrong)… and as someone who doesn’t even like baklawa very much, this was nice baklawa.”

“Had a fabulous Kebab Aubergine – soft, tender, and perfectly cooked! The service was excellent and quick, even though the restaurant was full. A special thank you to the lady working behind the bar, who kindly made my tea exactly the way I wanted it. The atmosphere was lovely too. I really appreciated that the music was kept quietly in the background, making it easy to relax and enjoy the meal. I will definitely be back!”

“Ayam Zaman catered for my daughter’s birthday party, we ordered a whole lamb, some chicken, rice and a few sides including the babaganoush which was amazing. All the food tasted incredible and it was presented professionally! Thank you for such a great service as well. I will be back again for sure!”

“Good quality food let down by inept and disinterested staff. Trying to get to attention of waiting staff is the real challenge at this eatery as they just want talk to each other and generally ignore customers, unless they know them personally or are regularly Arab customers. The young waitress that eventually took my order was shockingly poor, very rude and only interested in conversing with her male colleagues. When she served my food she stuck her hand into the side sauces! Shame , as the food was good and I preferred it to other Syrian eateries in the vicinity.”
