Al Aya Lebanese Restaurant

I had a dinner in Aya with my friends. It's great that it's BYO, I even enjoyed the food, which was very tasty. But the next day I had stomach issues (had to visit doctor) - everyone else from the group was fine, but I was the only one who had shewarma... So if you go there rather get something, which is prepared freshly on the grill than the shewarma.

We went to this restaurant recently and were pleasantly surprised.

This was the first time we sat down at a Lebanese restaurant, and the food was good. It was worth it! The meals came out quickly and were delicious. My partner had lamb shank with rice, and there was so much we had to take it home. The meat on the shank was cooked well and just melted in your mouth.

I had lamb cubes with french fries and both were great. It was cooked on the charcoal grill and had some great spices which made it taste different to what I'd normally have.

The staff were very friendly and didn't bug us constantly with 'how is your meal?'. It seems to be a little family owned place which made it more cozy.

It's BYO and with a Tesco's just across the road, you can have a few beers or a bottle of wine for quite cheap.

I'd def recommend this place, and the takeaway option is great for when we're feeling too lazy to leave the house.
