Mamounia Lounge Restaurant

About Mamounia Lounge - Lebanese Restaurant - London

This long-standing restaurant site, once home to Les Saveurs... has been transformed into a warm and atmospheric North African, Mamounia Lounge.

Colourful raw silk cushions, gauzy curtains and black and white photos of Berber people create a warm, evocative space and, happily, early indications are that the kitchen is living up to the pleasant surroundings.

Starters are particularly well executed. Grilled scallops, drizzled with a nicely piquant caper dressing, are perfectly cooked and beautifully presented in their shells, a side bowl of merguez sausages providing a robust, spicy accompaniment. And a dish of sardines with garlic, coriander, parsley and spices is rustic and flavoursome.

What’s more, there’s an interesting range of North African/Lebanese fusion dishes for those in search of something a bit different. Generous portions leave little room for dessert, but you can always opt of a shisha pipe in the upstairs bar instead (the one flavoured with apple being the best for novices) and the friendly staff are happy to demonstrate how to puff on it.
