Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Staff were friendly and attentive. They do not serve alcoholic drinks but allow you to bring your own, which made the meal even more affordable.

Visited this place today for dinner, we were a big bunch. We were so famished that totally forgot about clicking pictures of the food once it arrived - totally worth the wait though. The food portions were great. Worth trying the Mega mix grill if you’re a big group. I would like to emphasise that all kinds of meat that were on the grill platter were cooked to perfection (unlike many other places which are mostly undercooked or chewy). Other worthy tries on the menu are the Arayes and lamb shawarma!

Just found this gem. Authentic Lebanese food!!! Mixed grill was mouth watering. Tabouleh is 4/5. Lamb Arayes was the best out of all. The team was so friendly. The lady at service was so kind. Even served a free of dessert at the end!! Worth coming back…

⸻ I have tried many Lebanese restaurants here in London, but I have never experienced a menu as delicious and refreshing as this one. This was the first Lebanese restaurant that truly served authentic, traditional Lebanese cuisine — the kind of flavors that immediately take you back to Lebanon. Everything was incredibly well-prepared, rich in taste, and beautifully balanced. You can genuinely feel the care and attention put into each dish. A very special thank you to the owner of this restaurant for preserving and sharing real Lebanese culinary heritage. I truly appreciate it. I will definitely be coming back!

We had lunch at the Sutton Aya restaurant today, and it was a lovely experience. The food was delicious, fresh, and nicely presented. Especially MEGA MIX GRILL & AYA MIXED GRILL . The food was flavorful, beautifully prepared, and clearly made with care. The chef deserves special appreciation — every dish showed great attention to detail and a real passion for cooking. The food was served by Husneil .He was friendly and attentive, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The place was clean and comfortable, perfect for a relaxing meal. Overall, it was a really nice lunch — we enjoyed it and would definitely visit again! Many thanks to Husneil and his team.

Aya is by far one of the best Lebanese restaurants I’ve ever tried — the food is absolutely outstanding! Every dish is bursting with authentic flavors, fresh ingredients, and perfect seasoning. The presentation is beautiful, and you can truly taste the freshness in every bite. The service is exceptional — the staff are friendly, attentive, and make you feel genuinely welcome. Their fresh juices are amazing and pair perfectly with the delicious food. I’ve tried many Lebanese restaurants in London, but Aya in Sutton really stands out. It’s definitely a place I would recommend to anyone who loves high-quality, flavorful, and fresh Lebanese cuisine.

I've been yesterday to Aya restaurant The food was absolutely delicious. I tried the prawns cooked in sauce, chicken liver, Baba Ganoush, and Batata Harra, and each dish was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. A special mention to my waitress Cristina, who was incredibly warm and friendly
