Reviews
We have always rated and liked this restaurant, coming for many years. But this time it has changed. The menu is more for sharing, which is ok. But both the pitta bread and handcut chips are totally the opposite to what they are normally and not very nice now. Overall, the food was good, but I think it's time to move on and see what else there is to offer. Good while it lasted. Staff are still friendly and attentive. A slat of the table broke, exposing a nail. Luckily, it caused no harm. The waiter apologised and said it's broken and put the slat back in. But this table should be thrown away, as it's very dangerous! Quite expensive with what you get now, £8 for 2 smallish sardines!!
Bar Azita serves up an excellent variety of Mediterranean dishes that are vibrant and full of flavor. From the photos, the dishes appear fresh, well-prepared, and beautifully presented. 1. Grilled Vegetables and Chicken Skewers: The charred chicken pieces look perfectly cooked, with a golden-brown crust and a smoky touch. The vegetables add color and balance to the dish. The portion size seems fair for sharing. 2. Pastries: The triangular pastries look golden, crispy, and flaky, with a dusting of herbs for an added punch. These look delicious and likely offer a satisfying crunch, complemented by the sauces. 3. Fish with Salad: The grilled fish fillet served over a colorful salad of tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions looks fresh and light. The herbs on top add a nice pop of green, and the lemon wedge suggests a tangy kick to enhance the flavors. The meal presentation at Bar Azita appears inviting and carefully prepared, showcasing Mediterranean and Middle Eastern influences. This is a great spot to enjoy tapas-style dining in a warm, casual setting. Would definitely recommend for those looking for a mix of bold flavors and shareable plates!
I had a good lunch here. Heard many great recommendations before visiting, so I was looking forward to try it. There was a nice selection, some very delicious items but a few unfortunately underseasoned, almost bland. The falafel was extremely underwhelming, was it maybe frozen? OK service. I'll be back and will try different items, will give it another shot.
Some of the best tapas dishes I've ever tasted!! Perfect evening out, perfect food and delicious sangria. It doesn't get better.
We went here for lunch as we were passing by and the deals looked good and they have indoor and outdoor seating. Nice to have the choice! We were given a warm welcome and had a great experience from start to finish. The chicken gyro was top notch with really good quality chicken and a generous amount of it. The pitta was fluffy and delicious and the chips were disc-shaped instead of usual shape and they were superb! I’ve not been for dinner, but it’s certainly a great lunch spot.
