About this restaurant

- Permanently closed - Fantastically fun and buzzy Moroccan restaurant and bar. Newly refurbished to a high standard in summer 2013, the charming restaurant looks out to an al fresco dining area, where Ayoush's renowned shisha and Moroccan tea are expertly served. Downstairs there are wonderfully decorated 'caves', perfect for group dining and private hire. This area has a wonderfully smart, modern Moroccan look and an intimate Club/bar atmosphere including belly dancers and late night DJ at the weekends. One thing not to be missed are the unique cocktails made exclusively here. The food is recognisably of the region (tagines, mezze, couscous) with a seasonally changing menu that includes some interesting twists on Moroccan flavours. No matter what the weather in London, Ayoush promises a traditional North African warm welcome and friendly service, making it a favourite haunt of celebrities, Londoners and tourists alike.

    Went to have a lazy, long girls lunch and Ayoush did not disappoint. Interior is fab, yummy food and fantastic staff. Its a shame they have to close down due to building renovations. Hopefully they will find a new home soon.

    What a lovely cosy restaurant. Authentic Moroccan cuisine which is delish! I had the Lam Tagine with prunes and apricots, heavenly. The service was great, the waiters were attentive and professional. I loved the way our waiter poured our mint tea form a great height, expert. Highly recommended!

    Recommend trying one of their Lebanese wines (Reserve du Couvent), the lamb tagine, and the baklava.

    We were a group of 10 and had a small area for ourselves. Staff was very nice and very attentive. Shame we had to order from a set menu and that there were no belly dancer but overall good experience and good food. Will go back.

    The ambience is very warm and appealing with the use of gold morrocan lighting and decor. The starter mezze sharing platter was really impressive; however the chicken tagine dish was a bit disappointing....the flavour came mainly from the used of salt and not from the use of a combination of different spices.

    We went four people for dinner. The food was very good. Really good. Portions are large, so I advice sharing. The only thing that REALLY bother us was to pay 47.25 pounds of TEA!!! I mean in a bill of 153 pounds it is totally absurd to pay that amount for something that is basically water. Two of us were drinking wine and beer, and the four of us were drinking tea. I remember that a couple of times they brought a new kettle, But... it is absurd that they make it so expensive. A bottle of good wine good have been cheaper. As an advice to customers, tea price is menat to have a tea at the end, not to eat with tea as it often occurs with this type of food. As an advice to the restaurant, I would have prefered to pay twice for the main courses.
