Festive Lebanese grill and shisha terrace with standout hospitality and mezze, decent value for Portobello, but expect smoke, occasional food inconsistency, and loud vibes.
Akoya delivers solid neighborhood dining with exceptional service warmth and a charming Notting Hill terrace that excels for celebrations and shisha nights. Food quality is strong across mezze and grills, but occasional inconsistency with temperature and texture prevents higher marks, while smoke drift and space constraints limit the overall experience. Worth visiting for the hospitality and atmosphere, though not a destination restaurant.
One caveat: Smoke drift noted from shisha terrace into non-smoking area; families and smoke-sensitive guests should plan accordingly
