Revisit the 1960’s when Carnaby Street was the headquarters of world fashion and fish and chips was the nation’s favourite meal. The world around us may have changed, but sometimes the old ways are the best. Our menu is authentic and unpretentious, but everything we do is produced using the finest ingredients prepared with the same values we’ve held for over 50 years. Dine amongst our collection of vintage photographs from the era when stars including Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger and Jimi Hendrix mixed with upstart fashionistas like Mary Quant and Twiggy to create the epicentre of London cool right here. With a full bar including seasonal specials and a classic soundtrack you won’t hear anywhere else, we’re sure you’ll find us the perfect venue for a date, family get together, or a sneaky working lunch on our outdoor terrace.Quality, value and atmosphere in the heart of the West End. Old school.

We love mashed potato - it's the food equivalent of a great big hug. Our mash is made with only the very best Maris Piper potatoes - and it's made fresh. Not that day, not that hour, but right before you tuck in. That way it still has the creamy fluffy texture we've whipped into it. Add a piping hot pie, free range sausages or vegetarian option.. pour on your choice of fresh gravy.. and you'r done. Feel all warm and friendly.

• Lebanese • Oxford Circus

Aline was created from a desire to share my family’s food traditions. My love for Lebanese food comes from my mother, Aline. A Passionate home cook, famous for gathering her friends and family around her long table placed in the heart of a bucolic garden we call “Le Jardin d’Aline”. Meals have always been a way for her to teach my sisters and I about our Lebanese heritage. In summer we often enjoyed “Siyadiyeh”, a freshly caught sea bass served with a fisherman’s risotto native to Tyre, my mother’s hometown and in winter we would all gather in the kitchen eagerly waiting for the slow cooked lamb for her famous “Fatteh”. Our dishes are a modern take on everyday Lebanese comfort food served in a cozy thirty seat restaurant in Mayfair . Our ingredients are responsibly sourced and prepared with care, with a menu that offers the best of Lebanese food in all its authenticity. We look forward to seeing you soon! Tarek Farah

    Had a lovely dinner in Mother Mash. Really quirky little place and food and service were top notch! Located just off Carnaby Street, it wasn’t too noisy inside and offered a little respite from the craziness outside!

    The whole experience was enjoyable. It was nice to be in a restaurant that was not too busy at this time of year. The food was fresh and flavourful (particularly the Thai Green curry and Massaman). The salad was disappointing, mainly because, apart from the delicious dressing, it was a basic British Little Gem, cucumber and tomato salad. We will definitely be back!

    We dined here for Christmas Day dinner and had such a lovely time! We made advance reservation and were seated immediately upon arrival and greeted with our welcome drink of choice. While they were extremely busy and crowded, our server was extremely attentive and the music playlist was on point. The whole staff was so friendly and welcoming and we enjoyed the food and overall experience very much!
