Azou (Hammersmith)

• Draped with colourful cloth and bedecked with hands of Fatima
• To start we had chermoulla olives and hummus with harissa and warm pita bread
• The tagine al ein is a sweet lamb dish
• The Berber tagine was more savoury
• The service is friendly and helpful
• It is a tiny hidden gem with brilliant food and service
• Their portion size is fine but the contents are quite filling
• Starters Briouat (pastry with a filling of brie and goat's cheese)
• Very cozy restaurant with appropriate lighting and decor
• Can get slightly squishy if you are in a big group
• The service is very quick and the waiters are really nice
• The restaurant was empty apart from one table
• We were asked if we had a booking and there was a distinct tut and expression of disappointment on the waiters's face when we said no
• The waiter was then reasonably polite when he took our order
• A family of five arrived with an extra child
• A big fuss was made about the extra child before they entered the restaurant
• The family was pressured to leave the restaurant even though they had been seated and given their drinks order
• The couple who own this restaurant are clearly very talented they're producing excellent food and their ambition in that sense is paying off
• We ordered the hummus and chachouka as starters and merguez couscous and roasted chicken breast and finished with the baklava
• T have high chairs they do however have low seating that are perfect for kids
• The chef and waitress were very understanding and patient
