Authentic Egyptian, hidden gem.Food is made fresh, chicken is tender, lamb is juicy. Rice is very flavourful, salad is fresh and vibrant, loads of sauces to go on your meal, homemade sauces are addictive. Portions are generous, owner is very friendly and generous, will feed you while your waiting for your meal. Price is very good considering the generous food offering. Will recommend to anyone in the area

Legit the best value for money and some of the most delicious food I’ve ever had. You won’t find better quality food at the prices he’s offering. He is also the nicest guy, always offers a drink to your friends who aren’t even purchasing from him. Will be coming for many years to come!

Ali is friendly, honest and just an outstanding person.
Told us a story about how he did a private event and was ripped into because they didn't want to pay, and just couldn't fathom why people would take advantage of an honest, down-to-earth person like Ali and at the end he didn't take a payment - on the basis of honour and principles. Rare characteristics nowadays I find.
Anyway, the food was great, and plentiful - although my mate was already full from all the tasters!Owner response
Thank you so much bro
Absolutely the best falafel I've had ever and some of the best food I've had in London. Came across this by luck after wandering around and I'm so glad I ate here! Super friendly people too

Thank you so much Ash
Perfect lunch spot. £7 for small box £8 for a big. Fully halal too. It might look like a mess but it’s really good.

That's how it is with alibaba Waterloo. Not only a great for its price. Genuinely one of the best places to eat in London period. Prepared on the spot by the most gentle and kind person you'll ever find in food industry.
Go there before Borough Market and you'll save yourself both money and disappointment.Owner response

Had an extremely delicious large mixed (chicken and lamb) box bursting with flavour cooked fresh right in front of you. The man himself is very friendly and is clearly passionate about the food he cooks. Would highly recommend.
