About us:

Berber & Q Grill House is a vibrant restaurant inspired by the flavours and spirit of the Middle East and North Africa. Founded in 2015, we're known for our bold, smoke-filled dishes cooked over charcoal, shared feasts, and warm, energetic hospitality. Set under the railway arches in Haggerston, the Grill House celebrates fire, spice, and the joy of communal dining — where food, music, and atmosphere come together in true Berber & Q style.

The Berber & Q Food Group is currently made up of three London-based restaurants. Our journey began back in 2015 with our fire and smoke shop, Berber & Q Grill House in Haggerston, closely followed by Shawarma Bar, our rotisserie and mezze joint nestled on Exmouth Market. Our most recent venture has led us West, bringing Eastern Mediterranean flavors to the Queens Park neighborhood with Carmel.

Our menus take inspiration from pretty much anywhere we can find it, but with a bias towards the ingredients and flavours of the Middle East, North Africa and across the Ottoman. We favour vegetables as much as meat and fish, we like our wines natural and our cocktails with a kick.

We cook over live fire because it makes food taste better. We love simple, honest cooking with loud colours and big, bold flavours. This also comes across in our laid-back hospitality and our unique atmospheric settings, both of which will welcome you when you open our doors.
