Akoya is a modern Lebanese restaurant at 253A Portobello Road in Notting Hill. The venue combines a main dining space with a private room and a heated roof terrace, creating several distinct settings for lunch, dinner, celebrations and late afternoon gatherings.
Mezze is central to the menu, with salads such as fattoush sitting alongside hummus, kibbeh and other small plates. These dishes can open a meal or be combined across the table, reflecting the sharing style at the heart of Lebanese dining.
Charcoal grills provide the more substantial side of the kitchen, supported by seafood and contemporary dishes that broaden the traditional selection. The mix of mezze and grilled plates makes it easy for couples or larger groups to build a meal at their own pace.
Lebanese beer and wine are offered alongside European wines, cocktails, mocktails and other alcohol free drinks. The retractable glass roof and heating allow the terrace to be used in more than just warm weather, while the Pink Room provides a private option for smaller events.
Address: 253A Portobello Road, Notting Hill, London W11 1LR, England
