Commis Chef Prutvi has been with akub for 11 months, becoming a much-valued part of the kitchen team with each passing season. From peeling and chopping to organising ingredients ahead of service, his work helps keep the kitchen moving smoothly day to day.

What Prutvi enjoys most about working at akub is the supportive atmosphere within the team and the constant opportunity to learn new dishes and techniques.

His favourite dish is the Batikh Salad - compressed watermelon with cucumber, black olives and marjoram, finished with toasted almonds and fresh mint. A light, bright plate returning to the menu just in time for summer.

Beitinjan bil Tahinia brings together roasted aubergine with a few considered accompaniments.

The aubergine is cooked slowly until soft, taking on a subtle smokiness as it breaks down. It’s then layered with tahinia, herbs, pomegranate seeds and toasted pine nuts, with a final scattering of nigella seeds.

Traditionally served at breakfast, but available to enjoy all day from our à la carte, Labneh balls are a Palestinian staple.

Made in-house using thick, strained yogurt from Dorset Dairy Company, the labneh sits somewhere between a soft cheese and a spread. It is hand-rolled into balls and coated in za’atar, turmeric with Aleppo pepper, or sumac.

Enjoy with a generous pour of Zaytoun Extra Virgin olive oil, scooped generously onto warm, fresh za’tar bread.

Nostalgic and gently sweet, Naseem Al Ward, or ‘Rose Breeze’, was originally created as a Valentine’s Day special and has since returned to the menu, for you to enjoy once more.

Inspired by the bright, intensely fruity sodas of the 1990s, it is refined for a modern palate using Palestinian botanical infusions. A blend of hibiscus, sumac, bay leaf, allspice, fenugreek, pomegranate molasses, jalab and rose water, finished with Fever-Tree tonic for a light sparkle.

Lamb holds a prized place across Palestinian cooking, so at akub we take our time with it, cooking it slowly to draw out the meat’s depth and richness.

Our lamb is sourced from award-winning butchers, Aubrey Allen, selected for quality and handled with care in our kitchen to let the flavour develop fully.

We finish it with coriander tahinia, lifting the richness of the meat, and a herb-infused olive oil to bring the dish into balance.

What people say

Akub Restaurant in London is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the rich diversity of Palestinian cuisine. The restaurant offers a modern twist on traditional dishes, such as their reimagination of Sheikh el Mahshi, which features pickled carrots and herbs stuffed inside baby aubergines. The menu also boasts refreshing cocktails like the Qamardeen dreaming, made with apricot liquor and orange blossom water.

The restaurant's ambiance is equally impressive, with light and airy spaces perfect for both large celebrations and intimate moments. The beautiful archway leading from the ground-floor dining room to the sun-filled courtyard mirrors the historical arches of Palestine and is thoughtfully decorated with objects crafted by Palestinian artisans.

One dish that stands out is Fadi's reinterpretation of Fatteh, featuring tender chunks of short-rib beef layered over cubes of toasted homemade focaccia. And for those looking for something non-alcoholic, Akub offers equally flavorful options like Jallab nojito or Fadi's zesty homemade lemonade.

Overall, Akub Restaurant provides an unforgettable dining experience that combines delicious food with a beautiful atmosphere.
