Berber & Q - Shawarma Bar

Berber & Q - Shawarma Bar | Exmouth Market | EC1R 4QE | 020 7837 1726

So we bought a camper van, removed one of the wheels and turned it into rotating kebab spit, and set out in pursuit of the perfect shawarma.

Berber & Q Shawarma Bar opened on Exmouth Market in July 2016, specialising in rotisserie Middle Eastern meats slow-cooked over charcoal and wood.

Shawarma Bar is open for lunch and dinner every day except Sundays.

We are primarily a walk-in restaurant, operating on a first-come-first-served basis.

We look forward to welcoming you to our restaurant.

I did, however, make it to his next restaurant, Zest, at the cool, white space of the Jewish Community Centre on the Finchley Road where, with his chef partner Eran Tibi, he turned Jewish food in London from something heavy and bloating that shouted “infarction” at you from the plate, to a riot of bright and light and sunny.

There is whole spiced forequarter of lamb, long roasted and repeatedly basted with cumin and paprika butter and then shredded, to be eaten rolled up in crisp green leaves of mint, dill, and flat-leaf parsley.

Most astonishing is the beef short rib, which has clearly spent a very long time in the smoker until the meat is a deep red and has all but come away from the bone.

The room is a little chintzy, but the food is bang on: there’s vibrant fattoush, tabbouleh that’s more green herbs than cracked wheat and exceptionally fine chargrilled meats (dalila.co.uk).

■ Talking about stupendous short ribs, as I just was above, I was recently at Hadskis, a grill house in Belfast, where I tried “sugar pit” short ribs from Peter Hannan’s company the Meat Merchant.

A hip Middle Eastern and North African grill house in Haggerston from former Ottolenghi and Galvin chef Josh Katz.

Perhaps it’s this safety in numbers, surrounded by London’s densest concentration of Turkish barbecue restaurants, that led chef Josh Katz to open a Middle Eastern grillhouse on the southern fringe of Dalston, where yet another pall of smoke is unlikely to attract attention.

But that’s cool for Katz, because the cool factor and quality of Berber & Q still marks it out from the crowds.

As at many of Haggerston’s other eateries, a Turkish mangal (charcoal grill) is central to the kitchen for searing meats and many veg.

But Katz’s magic carpet has visited many places in search of inspiration.
