About Ayoush
Fantastically fun and buzzy high-quality North African restaurant / bar with casbah-style decor and differently themed North African ’caves’ downstairs. The food is French-African with the emphasis on North African and the odd Berber and Jewish Moroccan influence thrown in for good measure. Not somewhere to take your Great Aunt Gertie (unless she’s a real party animal), but a fab spot for a night out with your pals or a romantic dinner with your main squeeze. What’s cooking? Tabouleh, falafel, hummus, sambousek, merguez, stuffed calamari, shawarma, kebabs, tagines, couscous, sea bass and salmon.
