Bar Saracen - Review

The freshly minted, premier-league alliance of Rumi’s Joseph Abboud and front-of-house maestro Ari Vlassopoulos invites diners to get their mezze on.

Middle Eastern food, fun cocktails and three types of arak combine their powers for a venue low on formality and high on life.

There’s hummus, of course, dressed to impress with fried chickpeas and diced calamari, charry octopus with a creeping pickled chilli fire and a parsley and lemon salad and lamb heart iskender, an open sandwich of bold deliciousness.

Open Tuesday-Friday for lunch and Tuesday-Saturday for dinner
