Hiba Express in Camden

Went to a party in the upstairs section and it was one of the best nights of my life. Impeccable food and service. We need more Hiba!

Really small portions compared to Maroush, service was poor (we didn't feel welcome), Atmosphere was ok.

The food is delicious, the price is a little expensive.

A well run Palestinian family business that offers really good food. The meat platter was my go-to and I'd definitely recommend it if you're going to eat there. Staff was friendly and recommended us the food options

I'm gluten free vegan and had hummus, babaganoush and falafes. Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about dietary requirements. Highly recommended. I wish there were more gluten free options, e.g. wraps and a gf vg mezze platter option.

Excellent and delicious. Highly recommended

Great restaurant, decent price and portions

Bonito restaurante y las porciones son grandes. La comida es absolutamente deliciosa. Mucho en el menú. He probado el falafel un par de veces aquí y está delicioso.

Dined in with some friends. Great restaurant, the food is tasty and very friendly staff.

Good Palestinian and Lebanese food and service although at times a little slow. Great atmosphere with a message: free Pal/es/tine

A very busy place, so the food took some time to arrive after we ordered. Due to the crowd, it was challenging to get the attention of the servers. The mains were enjoyable, with the falafel being one of the best I’ve ever tasted, and the overall meal felt healthy. However, the bread and sauces were not brought out until we specifically requested them. For dessert, we ordered baklava and Kunefe, but unfortunately, both were of very poor quality. The baklava tasted stale, as if it had come from a packet or was more than a day old. The Kunefe cheese was unpleasant, and we left it untouched. Additionally, we asked for three spoons but only received one. After requesting two more, we were given just one additional spoon, and despite asking again, the third spoon never arrived. Overall, while the mains were good, the service and dessert were disappointing. The decor was amazing.

Even though their service is late and ambience at times feels noisy, their food compensates for this. I felt it was slightly expensive, none the less worth the spend

Utilicé el catering Hiba para un evento en LSE Student Union para una conferencia a gran escala y fueron increíbles. Tan fácil de contactar con consultas y respuestas muy rápidas a correos electrónicos y preguntas. El día en que la entrega fue tan suave, sin demoras y el amable repartidor nos ayudó a configurar todo y comprobó que todo estaba bien y estábamos contentos antes de que se fuera. La comida fue un placer y todos hablaron muy bien de ella. Tantas opciones para una larga lista de requisitos dietéticos y en general una experiencia fantástica. Definitivamente los volveré a usar!

Had a great meal, they are very helpful, kind, and serves good food in a good atmosphère!!

تخيل انك تطلع من بيتك وتضرب مشوار قريب ساعه عشان تاكل من عندهم ف الأخير يطلعو عنصرييين عيال كلب .. العيب مو فيهم العيب اللي مدح فيهم وخلانا نجي عندهم ..

مطعم فلسطيني عنصري يعادي الساميه والاسلاميه وخاصه الشعب السعودي سيء المعامله والاخلاق للعرب يكره العرب كره شديد ويبهذلهم في مطعمه ويغلق الابواب ويطردهم انه سيء المعامله العنصريه

The food and atmosphere was amazing and we were served by a lovely hostess, Meskela. Thank you for making this visit so memorable!

Excellent food and drinks, especially the mixed vegetarian platter and lemon with mint drink... Service friendly and efficient...

Great food reasonably priced. Drinks are a bit pricy. Probably the cheapest place to sit and eat a decent meal in the area though. The upstairs is coming along nicely and has been very beautifully designed!

Simply delicious. As the other reviewers have said, this is a lovely place with excellent shwarma. Currently one of my top three lebanese in London, alongside Al Arez Edgeware Road, Diwan in Marleybone . I love the fact they bring you sauces without asking. Bravo. Melon juice wasn't quite there - a bit too frothy, but everything else was on more than on point.

I came here with my family to celebrate us getting together for the first time in a while. The food was amazing, with great portions of absolutely amazing food. The appetizers were especially delicious, I cannot recommend the baba ganouj enough. Most of all, the staff was incredibly kind, attentive and generous. We were served by Hassan who gave us a wonderful introduction to Palestinian food, and I cannot wait to come back here in the future. A must try restaurant!

The food was delicious. Great service and friendly atmosphere. Just a bit under decorated downstairs for my liking but would definitely go again 😄

food was unseasoned and overpriced. small portion size. the staff couldn't sit us in a 4 person booth with 3 people when they had 2 people sitting in the same one. womens toilets were clogged and dirty, says my friend. not sure what could be worse

If hospitality was a person this is what it would look like🔻

On the menu says 3 skewers shish cubes this is not even close to one..not worth the price of £15

Palestine will live forever ♥️ Amazing food. Amazing atmosphere

Service was quite slow with staff standing around the kitchen area quite relaxed. One side dish arrived when the rest of the food was nearly finished.

Shown to a table. Provided with a menu and dirty cutlery. Then ignored for 14 minutes before I got up and left. Poor service to say the least.

Very disappointed! There is a takeaway down the road, near farringdon station called Lebanon and it is so much better! Such a shame, Hiba is a good restaurant and all donations go to Palestine fair enough but my take at wrap was the worst I ate! And the fattoush salad was full of lemon water it was not nice. I’ve ordered rice and chicken from them before and no I don’t think I want to come back here

I'm all for the cause but the food here is straight out nasty... I had to force myself to eat everything. Tasteless, probably the worst restaurant I've ever gone.

I won't get my Lebanese food anywhere else 😋

Got a takeaway lamb shawerma and wings,when I opened the shawarma there was hardly any meat inside it ,the chicken wings were also from a baby chicken, got ripped off

Absolutely disgusting. Stay away.

Absolutely disgusting. Stay away.

Really good food, perfect for lunch.

Very good Palestinian restaurant with traditional food and a very good shawarma with the right spices. A very good option to eat Middle Eastern food in the heart of London.

Stumbled across this place by accident when exploring London a few days, friendly staff and absolutely lovely food! Highly recommend

One of the worst Lebanese restaurants I’ve visited. Meat was dry and overcooked, salads - saw better days. Hummus was sour. The full experience was very expensive. Shame. Not recommended at all.

Delicious food, good customer service. Consistent taste 👌

Typically Palestinian atmosphere and the image of this magnificent people: warm, friendly, welcoming and smiling. The food is excellent and the prices affordable. We will happily return during our next stay in London. We wish you great success and a long life for your restaurant, thank you for your welcome!

a place shining with taste and morals

We ordered the set menu for 2 with fries. The meal was a decent size and our order was taken by a lovely woman. After everything arrived, we still had not received the fries so we had to ask them again. When the bill came, we were charged for two fries and had to tell them to remove one. Once we had finished our food, we waited a long time for the baklava that is part of the set menu. None of the serves came over to see if we were ok whilst sitting there at an empty table. We had to call someone over. Considering there were only 3/4 other tables to wait on, I think this was not acceptable service. The food tasted very nice. [Date of meal - 12/4/24]

The best! Delicious food, lovely people, great ambiance, best falafel in London!!

WOW WOW WOW- Very friendly staff, amazing food and all around positive vibes

You must verify your order after submitting your receipt...because sometimes there is a difference between your order and what was placed for you...the atmosphere is not suitable for non-smoking families

Stay away. One of the worst stomach ache I’ve had in my entire life.

My fave lunch spot in Holborn, the falafel box is always a delight.

Service and food are simply top!!

My 12 year old daughter found the staff welcoming, the decorations magnificent, the food good and the drinks had nothing to envy of the usual "brands" that we no longer consume.

Really love meeting my friends here and eating great food

Sara, una amiga que hice en la marcha por Palestina, me presentó Hiba Express. Estaba extremadamente ocupado, ya que parece que muchas otras personas de la marcha habían descendido al restaurante. Tenía arroz y pollo porque eso fue lo primero que vi y tenía demasiada hambre para mirar más lejos. Un par de días más tarde estaba pasando por la estación Holborn y simplemente tuve que parar y conseguir una comida para llevar. De repente llovió cubos. Cuando llegué a casa me desgarré en el pavimento de cordero enjambre e incluso olvidé tomar una foto, de ahí la parte - envoltura comido en la foto. El veredicto... ¡fue ORGÁSMICO! De hecho, me encanta el enjambre de cordero y nunca he logrado encontrar uno realmente bueno en Londres hasta que descubrí Hiba Express. Acabo de volver de mis vacaciones y no puedo esperar a volver a Hiba Express para probar los otros platos.

Amazing food. Portions great and server was fantastic. However price was a bit steep.

Always have to visit hiba when in london . We love the palestenian food and the service . Chicken shawrma is very good

The restaurant staff are very welcoming. The chefs are absolutely awesome. Meskela, is probably the best waiter 😁. We’ve been here a few times and we make sure to visit wherever we’re in that part of London.

Was looking for a healthy lunch and found it! The Main Course platter which included option of rice/chips/salad(£1 extra) and a hot/cold mezze was probably too much for lunch, but i finished it anyway. Washed down with traditional coffee. When the weather changed staff was quick to put the cover out, which allowed me to finish without getting soaked. If i'm in the area again, will stop by and try some of the other dishes.

They do good food, but the waiter wasn’t as good as he should have been with the clients,he was talking in humiliating way although that was my was my third time in that restaurant. The moral of review is that they should improve their service.

Mashallah, it is one of the best Arabic restaurants in London. The workers are excellent and the service is fast

Food is tasty, but mind that there is an additional service fee(12.5%). If you get today's dish with a soft drink, it costs around £20, which means it is hard to say value for money.

Visited for dinner with friends. The restaurant is spread over two floors with a small dining room on the ground floor where the kitchen is situated. The menu is Lebanese and Palestinian. They also offer a selection of Vegetarian and Vegan dishes. I ordered the 1 Person platter which was quite good and tasty. I enjoyed my meal. The only negative on the night was the very slow service. It took about 45 minutes for our food to be delivered to our table. It was disappointing to see so many takeaway orders being served while we sat hungry and waiting. It was quite apparent that the Takeaway orders take precedent over diners. This I find not really acceptable. We did speak to the staff about why the long delay. Overall this spoilt what was meant to be an enjoyable dinner with friends.

Palestine house, such a great cultural hub, food, music and events ongoing and much much more to come! Follow this space

Really tasty food. Really friendly and attentive staff. As feedback, I wish the vegetarian platter had fewer stuffed wine leaves and more than one falafel... Unfortunately four of the staff took a smoke break by the front door, and it all blew in as my food arrived.

Hassan’s service was excellent and we felt very welcomed. The food was affordable and we had a very enjoyable time.10/10 experience.

They were just about to close when we came in and stayed open for longer to accommodate us. Excellent flavourful food. The wraps were yummy and very reasonably priced!

Nice selection of Palestinian and Lebanese food. Today I tried the Kafta Meshwi, which was very tasty. I tried a wrap on another occasion, which was good value for money. Friendly service.

We had a few starters to share and they were delicious! Lovely staff and a great atmosphere, would definitely recommend. Great vegan options as well.

Dependably delicious with kind service - a huge choice of freshly made Middle Eastern dishes

Always the best food and service, my favourite way to spoil myself on a work lunch. Also love the atmosphere and amazing staff

Slow service, when i went the staff were arguing with each other, making me and other customers feel uncomfortable, food was good but the service is what was really off putting. Expensive for what it is worth but thats just central london i guess. Staff seemed unorganized and uncoordinated. When the waiter asked if i wanted bread with my shawarma bowl i said yes and then the bread never arrived, i was there for half an hour… but yeah good food

An okay Palestinian restaurant where we broke our fast. The hummus was the most delicious Kibbeh is normal Beans are not professional Mutabal 6 of 10 Free potatoes are delicious, but they are very oily Meat, to be honest, I haven't tried it But the food is clean, to be honest

Amazing ambience, great food and viva Palestine 🇵🇸

Delicious food, diversaity in options and excellent service

All have to say is that once I entered the restaurant and tasted the food I was transported. Didn’t feel like I was in London anymore. The downstairs seating gives very Jerusalem vibes. Excellent pricing, flavour and service. Would highly recommend.

Excellent chicken! And the nicest staff. Will definitely be back.

Apparently the name is meant to mean 'a lovely surprise', but in terms of the service it was very much a disappointment. We asked for a dessert menu twice (two different staff members), and still did not get it, so we gave up on that idea. It was difficult to get their attention even to pay the bill - no one cared. Even the payment was taken almost with a sense of annoyance, so I really do not see what we paid the service charge for. Will make sure never to bother them again.

Delicous food and generous portions sizes. Staff are welcoming and friendly the space in the restaurant is ever so small but not too much of an issue. Food prepared freshly and tasted amazing!

I come to Hiba often and I'm never let down! The food is great - great quality, flavour, and portions. The service is also good; all the staff are very nice and helpful. 100% recommend Hiba for the best Palestinian food I've had in London 🇵🇸🫶🏽

Amazing and varied food, very nice service and great atmosphere! And at an unbeatable price...I've definitely become a loyal client

We are huge fans of Palestinian and Middle Eastern food so had to visit Hiba Express during our visit to London. We were not disappointed! The food was fresh and so flavourful, and like most Middle Eastern restaurants, there were plenty of vegan options! Highlights were the foul medames and the spinach parcels - absolutely delicious. The servers were so friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere was great. Highly recommend. 🇵🇸

We used Hiba Express for event catering and we were all enthusiastic about the freshness, taste and presentation of the food. Amazing meze and baklawa! Recommended!

I came here on Monday. Food was delicious, staff were very friendly and attentive. Great atmosphere. Loved it, would go back, thank you!

Some of the best flavors I’ve had! Great vibe, everyone is welcome.

Great value food and variety. BYOB with £4 corkage charge.

Stopped in for lunch. Got the chicken shawarma wrap. Pretty good. Knock off cola with aspartame was a bummer. Decent for the price. Tables needed a wiping down but overall decent spot.

I realy loved the food and drink here in an amazing atmosphere. Everything is well thought of, from the tables that represent Palestine, to the pictures and decoration, along with the traditional Palestianian music. I absolutely loved the Jelleb drink (a drink with date which also has rose water) which I tried the first time.

Great customer service and quality food!

The best Palestinian/Lebanese restaurant in London. I’ve been to many Lebanese restaurants here in London and this is my new favourite. Great service, price is very reasonable and the food is ALL amazing.

Wonderful Palestinian and Lebanese food. Huge portions. Very reasonable prices for central London. 1 soutouk wrap + 1 shish taouk wrap + 1 mixed shawarma wrap + 1 white rice + service charge = £29.08. Friendly service.

My recent visit to Hiba Restaurant was unfortunately marred by a series of unpleasant experiences that significantly impacted my dining experience. Firstly, upon entering the establishment, there was a strong and off-putting smell of raw meat, which was quite pervasive throughout the restaurant. This alone made it difficult to look forward to a meal there. The service also left much to be desired. The staff appeared to be short-tempered; a simple request to be seated at the front of the house was met with rudeness. The employees claimed that the area was fully booked, which clearly was not the case, and instead, I was relegated to a corner that lacked cleanliness. The presence of dust and general untidiness further detracted from the dining ambiance. As for the food, it was a letdown as well. The lamb shawarma, which I was hoping would be a redeeming factor, turned out to be hard, dry, and lacking in flavor. It seemed as if it had been prepared well in advance and left out, as it was also served cold. This was disappointing from a culinary standpoint, considering the potential of Middle Eastern flavors. On a slightly positive note, the lemonade served at Hiba was quite nice. It was refreshing and one of the few things that met my expectations during the meal. Unfortunately, the service did not improve as the meal progressed. No one checked in to see how our meal was going or if we needed anything. Additionally, when it was time to leave, I was left waiting a considerable time for the bill, which only added to the frustration of the evening.

I highly recommend Hiba Express for catering. I have used them several times and they are always brilliant. Sayeda is amazing to work with - she's organised, knowledgeable and very helpful - and the food is always delicious and affordable! Delivery is so smooth and the delivery guys are very helpful

Date Visited 10/2023: Whenever I visit a new country, I make it a point to indulge in Lebanese or Palestinian and Asian cuisine. While exploring the British Museum, I opted for lunch at Hiba Restaurant. Despite a line, the person in charge efficiently organized seating. I observed distinct sections for pick-up orders and dine-in. The food portions were substantial, and the quality was amazing. The staff member who took my order seemed surprised by the quantity, perhaps a heads-up on the portion size would have been helpful. The delicious food was so good that there were no leftovers to take home.

The food was amazing, staff were amazing and we felt so welcomed. Palestinian people are just amazing.

Alhamdulilah great placem. Vibrant and of course beautiful food. Definitely will be back there InshaAllah

Best food served by the best people, amazing atmosphere. I love coming to Hiba, I come after every protest and they make us feel so welcome and serve us the most delicious dishes!!!

Hiba is a cozy and friendly place to sample a range of tasty Lebanese and Palestinian cuisine conveniently located on High Holborn. As a vegan I'm always on the lookout for Syrian, Lebanese and Palestinian restaurants and discovered Hiba a block from where I'm staying. Very busy on a Sunday night was a good sign and I was not disappointed. They offer many vegan-friendly dishes but I ordered the vegan menu for 1 and was not disappointed. Servers were all very gracious, as well. Flavorful food, good portion size and excellent value for money. Will go back again if time permits.

Came last night in a big group. The restaurant was very busy but all the staff were very efficient and made our experience pleasant. Food was very tasty with veggie and vegan options too. Would recommend!

Really not impressed. Easy to get to and vegan platter looked good but had terrible stomach ache afterwards. Would have complained but friend had a bad experience when she made a complaint. PS. And response from restaurant has justified my wariness in approaching them directly.

The food is excellent, so fresh and so Real. I met two friends for lunch and we had superb food! The staff are great and the atmosphere is buzzing, most importantly the food is the best!

Gorgeous food and very kind service! Turkish coffee also delicious.

It was an underwhelming experience on all levels.
