Couscous Café is a hidden gem in Bayswater off a side street from Queensway.  The owner seems to do it all - greet and sit you at your table, take your order, cook the delicious food, and serve it fresh out of the back room kitchen.  The Moroccan flavors were scrumptious and portions plentiful.  Recommend getting a variety of tagines to share.

Couscous cafe is located opposite Whiteleys in Bayswater. As its name suggests, it specialises in north African cuisine, offering tagines, brochettes and unsurprisingly, couscous.

It's a small space inside but well decorated, giving an intimate atmosphere.

Sadly, the food is rather bland and missing the punch of all those famous north African herbs and spices. I left a bit disappointed.

Our last night in London and just wanted to have dinner without any fuss.  Walking down the street, we saw thislittle gem tucked off to the side.  I have a fondness for little "holes in the wall" and this affirmed my belief.  We had an hummus appetizer plate, vegetable cous cous and I brought home the chickenand lamb cous cous for my husband.  Truly, every morsel of this food was noteworthy!  I consider myself a pretty serious foodie and this meal hit all the right notes!  Run, don't walk...this is worth it!

It takes a while for your eyes to take in the decor of this little whole in the wall place. It's packed with Morocco. Eclectic, crazy and artful all at once.

The owner is a nice laid back guy, the menu is extensive.

The food is really quite good, wouldn't say it's the best I've ever had, however combined with the visuality of the restaurant, u won't be disappointed.

I will certainly visit again.

The lamb sausage and Kefte was succulent. Cous cous was well prepared and seasoned with all the usual herbs. Salad condiments standard. 

Decor is intimate and felt authentically Moroccan. Service good and our food arrived at a good pace. 

Meal is reasonably priced and the average in the area.

I'm not one for reviewing often, if ever. But this is an awesome little place. Tucked away off the busy street, quiet but very authentic. Food was fantastic & great service. Only drawback was not accepting credit cards. That being said it was worth the hassle. Would recommend.

A one man band who does an excellent job in an authentically decorates place. We had a starter to share, a tagine and a couscous dish. They were all very tasty and extremely generously portioned. Highly recommend!

The chicken and apricot tagine was perfect falling off the bone. The couscous light and fluffy. The Moroccan tea with orange blossom delightful. I had been here 9 years ago on a prior trip and it was a highlight. I made sure to try it again this time and my memory was not disappointed

This place has simply great couscous. I keep coming back and it never disappoints. My favorite spot in the Bayswater area.
