Mesopotamia

Mesopotamia is a Babylonian treat, from the processional lions along the rough plaster walls to the bright blue and gold replica of the Ishtar Gate at the back of the restaurant. If you're lucky, you could catch a table with its views of the arch of Wembley Stadium.

Under the intimacy of the tented ceiling, this relaxed, family-friendly restaurant serves delicious Iraqi cuisine, with dishes such as chicken fesanjun, in walnut and pomegranate sauce and shoulder of lamb slow-cooked with dried apricot, prunes and spices. And there are dishes typical of Lebanese cuisine, like the houmous and tabouleh.

The Babylon Tower, this time made of chocolate stands proudly on their dessert list. The restaurant's great neighbourhood venue helps locals and concertgoers in Wembley.
