Friendly family-run Azou is an enticing little north African restaurant on the fringes of Hammersmith in Stamford Brook. Moroccan, Algerian and Tunisian classics flavour the menu, from tagines and couscous dishes to merguez (spicy north African sausages) and mechoui (slow-cooked lamb shank marinated in chermoula). The soft lighting and warm décor add to an intimate, laid-back ambience.
