Full of north African spirit, Ayoush is a relaxed restaurant and private dining club with the lively ambience of the casbah. A short walk from the hubbub of Oxford Street, the warm interior is painted in ochres and browns, with cosy low tables, shisha pipes and banks of cushions. Alcoves in the basement offer more intimate dining. French-African cooking abounds, from meat cuts and seafood to house speciality tagines and couscous. The bar area offers great views of the lunchtime belly dancers.
