Fellow traveler you happen to be in London, near Earls Court station or high Street Kensington station.  This gem of a place deserves your visit.  It is a delli style cafe restaurant.  When you enter the establishment you will find it unassuming, quaint it is.  I was told by the two men operating the business that the business has been in operation for more than 30 years.  I understand the reason a business could last that long is due to its high quality of the product it serves.  Please look at the pictures if you think it looks delicious. When you taste it, your mouth will say your eyes are deceiving you. It's much better.  I fell in love with their yellow saffron rice they were serving the day I was there.  Are you vegetarian,  possibly vegan?. This place it's got you covered.  If you enjoy meat, you too will find this place amazing!.  To sum it up, they have meat options as well as vegetarian options.  The one thing that you will find when you dine here is that you are having comfort food not everyday food.  I have to come back to have lunch here again.  I urge you and encourage you to do your palette a flavor, that's right. A flavor not just a favor.  Try this place out.

first place I tried when I moved into south Ken, and I keep going back! Portions are extremely generous and if you're nice, they'll tack on extra. Their hummus is also fantastic. Everything they have looks amazing, I keep trying different things and loving them all. Absolutely love it there, not sure how there are some low reviews, its certainly the cheapest prices for that quality of food in this area. Really home cooked, comfort food feel (without being unhealthy)

Lovely cafe, the best crossaint I've had outside of Paris! Lovely coffee & the owner was very nice, he gave us directions & an underground route to where we needed to go! I will be back to try some of the other delicious things on the menu, the food smelt so good. Thank you 😊

After eating at this establishment, I know never to eat here again. On entry we was introduced by a sweet welcoming woman. She was very pleasant and offered the group water on arrival and asked us if we would adjust temperature of place to accommodate.

Unfortunately that is where the positives end. After taking our order of 6 the server became flustered.I could understand that a confusing order sometimes can be difficult. However out of the 6 peoole , 4 of the orders was the same and 2 were different.

The food slowly came out one by one, each looking increasing worse as they arrived. She said she was on her own and that was why the food was taking so long. Admittedly I felt guilty for judging. However ,seeing 2 "chefs" walk out for a cigarette and knowing this lady lied to us made matters worse.

I was shocked to see the state of the dish what was called "Armenian eggs " which was tinned tomatoes , chucked on two over cooked eggs with a slice of regular wholemeal bread. I didn't take a photo of the food as after waiting what seemed like lifetime for this meal I thought I'd like to eat it whilst it was semi hot.

My next shock was so see that the meal cost me £16, which by the matter of fact is same cost as the savoy and let me tell you this wasn't half as close to same standard as that. Me and my work colleagues felt utterly ripped off and descived. I'm glad I didn't get the full "English breakfast" which wasn't given option of how the customer wanted their eggs. It was missing sausage from all the breakfast and tomatoes from some. However from the state of the undercooked bacon which was still oinking , my colleagues were glad that there wasn't a sauage on there. To make the breakfast even worse there was a compulsory 2 slices of bread with a surcharge of 2.50 .which was basic wholemeal bread.

What really got me to write this horrible but true review was that a cup of tea was a fiver. You couldn't pay me to eat in this "restraunt" again save your money and your...

We have been coming to Jakobs for years, mostly as our go-to place for takeaway. Unfortunately we noticed that the food & service has deteriorated over the past year. The two owners have become very dismissive and rude when a customer enters, sometimes without even saying hello or welcome or even looking at you (they only warmly welcome larger groups of people who they know will pay a bigger bill than 1or 2 people would..). Also, for takeaway food we noticed that the employees (a younger lady and an older man) are always much more generous with the portions they put (i always hope that they will be the ones serving me!), whereas if the two owners prepare the wraps or the boxes, they put minimal amount of food inside and are never flexible with ingredients (last wrap i bought barely had any stuffing and was completely cold on the inside and only slightly toasted on the outside even though i tried it straight away - i had to regrill it at home!!). You would expect the opposite - that the owners of an establishment would be more generous and conscious of their customers! Overall a shame one of our favourite places has deteriorated due to the owners' attitudes, especially since the food they have is actually delicious - thankfully the employees are still the reason we may consider...
