Mihbaj Cafe & Kitchen is a Levantine cafe at 153 Praed Street near Paddington. Its food draws on Jordanian and Palestinian traditions while presenting them in a modern cafe format that runs from early morning breakfast through brunch and evening service.
Breakfast and brunch bring together breads, eggs, dairy, vegetables and warm spices in combinations intended for relaxed, family style dining. The menu balances traditional references with contemporary presentation rather than limiting the cafe to pastries and drinks.
Sandwiches and other savoury dishes provide options later in the day, while the downstairs lounge can be reserved for small groups. Catering is also available for family, business and team occasions, extending the kitchen beyond the Praed Street dining room.
Coffee is a defining part of the cafe, supported by iced coffee, tea, juices and smoothies. Guests with allergies should ask about the current ingredients because sesame, nuts, dairy, eggs and gluten are common across Levantine breakfasts, breads and sweets.
Address: 153 Praed Street, London W2 1RL, England
