Tucked away on a picturesque Notting Hill street, Akub is a refined townhouse restaurant that offers a vibrant and modern interpretation of Palestinian cuisine. Led by acclaimed chef Fadi Kattan, the restaurant celebrates both the authenticity and innovation of Palestinian food culture, with a strong emphasis on seasonality and storytelling. Its name pays tribute to the native cardoon plant of Palestine and signals a rootedness in heritage, while the interiors evoke quiet elegance with stone hues, tactile textures, and a calm, residential feel. Akub welcomes diners to share plates designed for discovery—from sea bream cured in arak to crisp vine leaves with skate and freekeh risotto—each dish a reflection of Kattan’s thoughtful, progressive vision. With a chef-led kitchen and an inclusive menu featuring well-considered vegan and vegetarian options, it offers a casual fine dining experience in one of West London’s most charming neighbourhoods. Akub has earned a Silver Award from SquareMeal and is praised by the MICHELIN Guide for its contemporary spin on traditional Palestinian dishes, including the standout ‘crunchy mansaf’—a bold take on the iconic lamb dish. Reviews consistently highlight its warm, professional service, generous flavours, and inviting ambiance. The setting, ideal for relaxed group dining or special occasions, makes it a favourite among locals and destination diners alike. Open for lunch from Tuesday to Sunday and for dinner Tuesday through Saturday. Brunch available on Saturday and Sunday. Akub is a true Notting Hill hotspot—celebrating heritage through a fresh, elevated lens.
