Akub

Set on a charming street in Notting Hill, Akub is a modern Palestinian restaurant that brings the warmth of Middle Eastern hospitality to West London. The space is bright and airy, with natural textures, soft lighting, and a laid-back vibe that makes it feel like a hidden gem rather than a formal dining spot. It’s the kind of place where you settle in for a long, flavour-packed meal with friends, surrounded by the buzz of shared plates and good conversation.

At the helm is Chef Fadi Kattan, a pioneer of contemporary Palestinian cuisine, who reimagines traditional dishes using seasonal British produce. Expect bold flavours, inventive techniques, and a menu that tells a story, rooted in heritage but with a fresh, modern twist. Akub has earned a spot in the 2025 Michelin Guide, a nod to its growing reputation as a standout in London’s dining scene. Co-founded with entrepreneur Rasha Khouri, the restaurant is a celebration of culture, memory, and community.
