About
Situated on a picturesque street of Notting Hill, akub is a Palestinian restaurant celebrating the rich diversity of ingredients and culinary traditions from the region, while working with locally sourced British ingredients.
Palestinian hospitality is best experienced around an abundant tawla, a dining table with sharing plates offering the flavours and fragrances of the coast, the olives and figs of the Mediterranean terroir and the preservation methods of the desert.
Akub, also known as cardoon, is a seasonal flowering thistle that embodies the essence of Palestine.
Our Chef
Chef Fadi Kattan creates cuisine that honours Palestine’s best produce with a modern twist. He reinterprets traditional Palestinian dishes while preserving the memory of their fragrance and flavour. He has become an authority and an ambassador for contemporary Palestinian cuisine.
Chef Fadi partnered with entrepreneur Rasha Khouri who has always focused her activities in supporting business opportunities to promote the region.
Food
With a curated menu, balancing traditional flavours of the Middle East and creative influences, akub offers an array of seasonal dishes celebrating vegetables and herbs, fish and meat locally sourced and translated into Palestinian tastes. From fresh coriander and dill to pickled cucumbers and roasted aubergines, slow-cooked lamb and skate kufta in vine leaves, our team will guide you across a dining experience on the paths of Palestine.
Drink
Along with a selection of natural and classic wines, akub also offers beer, arak and other spirits from Palestine.
Signature cocktails champion key Palestinian ingredients. The Qamarideen Dreaming uses apricot leather cultivated in the region, and Dalia’s Delight showcases the versatility of arak, the oldest distilled alcohol in the world, here shaken with mint, lime, gin and ice.
