KenzaThe discouraging location, under a dismal and confusing new commercial estate, only serves to make the descent into Kenza's cave of wonders even more exciting. The decor is North African, and - like any authentic North African spot - everything is madly over-the-top, with mosaics, lanterns, and elaborate, towering tableware providing a good backdrop to the twice-a-night belly-dancing. The food is clearly a secondary consideration to the atmosphere, but still decent, with predictable grills, deep-fried nibbles and spicy dips made from good-quality ingredients, and occasional stand-out moments in the less mainstream corners of the menu - a chicken liver meze was particularly impressive. Above all, the food and cocktails manage to match the rest of the restaurant for entertainment value, consisting largely of beautifully presented items for sharing, and arriving in vast quantities. Prices are, however, steep by City standards and absolutely eye-watering compared to the North African restaurant/takeaways of West London, which provide the best examples of this cuisine in the Capital.
