Gorgeously outfitted little cafe with lovely staff! We unfortunately had to shovel food down and then run off because of the train, but would highly recommend this spot to anyone. Coffee was great, the chicken wraps were delicious especially with the dipping sauce! Can only imagine what the mains and other dishes would be like - yum yum!

Had my first ever English breakfast because this restaurant is halal! It was so good I absolutely loved both dishes. The interior is really nice as well. Will definitely come here again whenever I’m in London

Mihbaj café, near Paddington Station, was the perfect location to relax during the stress of ongoing delays caused by engineering works on the trains. We decided to make the most of the time and settled in for a leisurely breakfast starting with two delightful teas: an Arabic Breakfast tea infused with thyme, rosemary, mint, and basil, and a Bedouin tea, with a warming blend of smoked sage and crushed cardamom pods. I asked for a little honey, which they didn’t have but they kindly offered maple syrup, which was a surprising and pleasant match. For breakfast, we shared the Fluffy Ijjeh, a traditional Palestinian omelette, it was bright, light and flavourful. We also tried the Levantinian Continental breakfast, which came with a beautiful spread of olives, olive oil, zaatar (a fragrant spice blend), makdous (marinated eggplants stuffed with sundried tomatoes and nuts), and labneh. For our sides, we chose the feta haydari (a rich feta spread with herbs) and mihbaj hummus, which was velvety and smooth and was the best hummus I’ve ever had - apologies to my friend Akmal who previously held the title) Although they offer a variety of classic breakfast options like Eggs Benedict and French Toast, Mihbaj shines with its authentic Middle Eastern flavours. If you're in the Paddington area, I highly recommend indulging in this exceptional and uniquely tasty experience. The food is thoughtfully crafted and the service warm and friendly, making it a standout spot for savouring something different.

I was thoroughly impressed by the amazing hospitality and authentic food. The falafel was perfectly crispy on the outside, yet tender and flavorful within, truly a delight. The mixed grill was a highlight, featuring an exquisite assortment of tender, marinated meats that were grilled to perfection. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the service was impeccable. This restaurant is a must-visit for anyone seeking authentic and extraordinary Middle Eastern cuisine in London. I would like to thank Omar and everyone for their amazing hospitality and kindness. One of my best eating experiences in London or shall I say my best? ❤️

First visit based on reviews, I decided to try the traditional dish Musakhan (chicken roasted and baked with caramelised onions with sumac seasoning, served on slices of freshly made flatbread). Flavours were subtle yet remarkable on the palette. Anyone who loves a fall off the bone chicken with lashings of gravy to dip your flatbread into, then I highly recommend. It’s giving me open roti vibes (those who know their Caribbean food). Ambience is friendly, popular yet the mellow music can transport your senses elsewhere blocking out the busy Paddington area. Finally, the oat chai spiced latte was creamy and just the right temp to prepare for my main meal which I finished off with freshly squeezed carrot juice. Will definitely return.
