Randa by Maroush (Kensington)

• We came here for lunch during a weekday and it was very empty
• The price was very high which I guess was expected for a Knightsbridge restaurant
• The waiters were very kind and offered us complimentary salad as there were no other customers
• The portion sizes are quite large
• Overall we were very pleased with our experience at Randa and I would definitely come again
• I was not familiar with the restaurant although I have of course heard of the Maroush group and I used to be a regular at their Juice Bar on Edgware Road years ago
• The restaurant is spacious but not massive
• The service was friendly and the menu is extensive
• The hummus was good as well as their mouhamara
• The tabbouleh was also very fresh
• No information was given when I asked about provenance of fish or meat
• The outside is unassuming and looks more like an old Victoria pub than restaurant
• Maybe our choice was not the wisest as some of the starters/dishes were good and others just average
• The service was ok despite the waitress at first told us the menu for four could serve the six of us
• Anyway maybe the Randa Special set menu is not the best choice and next time we will try a mix of starters and dishes instead
• The restaurant is fancy and prpfessional
• The food itself was super enjoyable
• Tried bits and pieces from what my other two friends ordered and the quality is undeniable
• I felt that the price was a bit too much though
• If Maroush is good enough to cater for the queen's birthday party
