Abu Maher RestaurantA-

Unit E, Queensway Market, 23 Queensway, London W2 4QJ · Syrian restaurant, Family restaurant, Halal restaurant · Bayswater

Heartfelt Syrian home cooking in Queensway Market with warm hospitality, strong flavors, slow pacing, and moderate prices; best when you have time to linger.

The verdict

Abu Maher Restaurant delivers very good food quality anchored by signature dishes like saffron rice and lamb preparations, with a chef-owner who engages warmly and explains pairings. Strong loyalty and repeat visits reflect genuine connection to the food and hospitality, though slow service from solo cooking and a modest, characterful space prevent a higher grade. Unusual review patterns create minor uncertainty in our assessment.

One caveat: Service is intentionally slow due to a mostly solo kitchen; expect waits
