Tier Achieved:
Clean. Reliable. Does the job.
The "lights out missionary" of food. Spotless kitchen, decent grub. Won't blow your mind, won't disappoint.
Café Helen is like the friend who always knows the best places for a late-night snack. Their mixed grill is a hit, and it seems like it’s packed with flavor, although the service can be a bit slow when busy. If you’re craving shawarma, you’ll want to dive in early; otherwise, you might miss out, as it sells out quicker than hotcakes.
With the halal meat being fresh and well-cooked, it's a satisfying option for those wandering Edgware Road. Just keep your expectations in check regarding the cleanliness, as some reviews hint it’s not the cleanest joint around. If you're in the area and in the mood for Lebanese food, it could be worth a visit, just don't plan on lingering too long.
"Great Lebanese spot."
"Shawarma was absolutely fantastic."
"Shawarma is generously packed with meat."
