Parking
The nearest car park is Q-Park Leicester Sq. Parking in Covent Garden can be tricky so we recommend to plan ahead if you are joining us by car.
Children & babies
We welcome little ones but do not offer any children menus at the moment.
Children's food can be brought but due to health and safety, we cannot heat it up on site. Hot water can be provided for “bain-marie” heating of milk bottles.
Please let us know in advance if you are bringing a baby with a push chair as we will allocate a table with more space for it.
High chairs can be offered.
Dogs & support animals
We currently only allow guide dogs in the restaurant.
Meeting Asma Khan
Our chef and owner works most days at the restaurant, but has also other commitments scheduled. We therefore cannot guarantee her presence at the time of your visit.
Bringing your own cake or “cakage”
A £25.00 flat fee per cake will be applied to your bill should you bring your own cake to the restaurant. Plates and cutlery will be provided by the restaurant. In line with our health and safety guidelines, we are not able to cut the cake for you but can provide a knife to do so.
Bringing your own bottle or “BYOB”
A £35.00 flat fee per bottle of 75cl and below will be applied to your bill should you bring your own. Magnums are considered as 2 x 75cl and so on. Glassware and service will be provided by the restaurant.
Allergies & dietary requirements
Allergens are displayed on each menu. Some items can be altered to accommodate dietary requirements. Please be aware that most of our dishes contain onions, chickpeas and chillies.
Although we are very vigilant to avoid cross contamination, products could contain traces of allergens.
Special Requests
Due to the limitation in our kitchen, we do not currently take special food requests. Alternatives for food allergies will be provided upon request.
Halal Meat
Please note that all of our meat is HMC certified Halal.
