“ A great place for lunch in Ealing, about halfway between South Ealing and Ealing Broadway stations. Maryam is always there and she is very friendly. She is also a great cook and varies her menu daily. It’s always Persian though. Today, I had the shakshuka and a quince tea (15). I’ve previously tried the sweet shakshuka with dates, walnuts and spices and I’m looking forward to having it again. ”
“ I am very impressed. Always nice to see these small businesses popping up and offering a small menu that is actually the same as what you would cook at home. Just simple good food. I had zereshk polo. I was very happy with it. Will hopefully visit here again in the future. Highly recommended. ”
“ We ordered some of Maryam’s wonderful desserts (Persian love cakes, brownies and saffron cookies) for our engagement party and both us and our guests loved all of them. Maryam was so lovely and so communicative - we really loved the desserts and can’t wait to have more of the food soon! Thank you so much Maryam! ”
“ What a wonderful find. I'm so glad we decided to walk down from our hotel. Our brunch was amazing. Our first time having shakshuka, but now we're spoiled. My wife got the delicious traditional and I got the sweet shashuka, which included dates, pomegranate seeds and walnut halves with mint and several other delicious bits I didn't recognize. Such a treat, apparently Maryam's own creation. Add in the relaxed and charming atmosphere and the gorgeous view of St Mary's church, it was a perfect memory of our visit to Ealing. ”
“ I only discovered Maryam’s Kitchen in Ealing during the winter of last year, and since then, it’s become my regular spot—especially on Thursdays when my lunch break is a bit longer. The food here is absolutely delicious and truly reminds me of home cooking. It’s the kind of food that makes you pause and appreciate the relatives, who are no longer with you—the ones, who used to treat you to lovingly made meals and shared stories about food. For me, Maryam’s Kitchen captures that same warmth: food made with care, passion, and soul. The meatballs with raisins and onion, are incredibly filling, and the Red Shakshuka is my go-to favourite. Yet, the standout lunch meal for me is the Ghormeh Sabzi- "a traditional herb stew with kidney beans and tender lamb, served with fragrant saffron rice." Mind you, it’s not just lunch—it’s a moment of comfort in the middle of the hectic day! Highly recommended ”
“ Loved it here, what a beautiful positive place, the whole atmosphere is welcoming, fresh and sunshiney from the decor to the flowers to the service to the food. When I left I just wanted to go back (except I was full on the delicious Persian brunch spread of 2 types of shakshuka and a Persian breakfast which consisted of salad, hummus, feta, pomegranate, and Persian bread. ”
“ The sort of place that you don't actually want to tell people about, so that you can still get a table. Absolutely amazing food. Delicious coffee and tea (apple is particularly good). Genuine, lovely staff. Reasonable prices. Don't go! ”
“ Absolutely wonderful place! Maryam and her team are so lovely, very friendly and make you feel right at home. The vibes are immaculate, and the food is delicious. I’m local so I will definitely be coming back all the time for their lovely service and incredible food ”
