chilling with no make up on, that's when you're the prettiest, I hope that you don't take it wrong.
-Drake, Best I ever had.
chilling with no make up on, that's when you're the prettiest, I hope that you don't take it wrong.
-Drake, Best I ever had.
Everything has gone wrong,
School: My U in chemistry, everything that has kicked off between my teachers, the stress and arguments and being hauled into offices all week, the crying, the stress and the frustration of being told I don't make any effort. I've been berated and demotivated and I'm just tired of it.
Work: I worked Christmas eve, eve; I offered to work Christmas eve but didn't, I worked Christmas day, boxing day, not new years eve, but new years day and this week I got one shift, being told I should work harder. Second time I've been told I don't make effort when I do.
Relationship: Broke up with the boyfriend and everything's just a mess, I'm an absolute wreck with 3 exams and a piece of coursework due. 15 months, 2 weeks and 2 days and I can't let go or make it stop hurting.
Health: My eczema has flared up for the first time in years so i can't have my arms on show as they look awful. I've been to the doctor about my chest pains and they're from stress, it feels like I'm going to have a heart attack. And finally, they have no clue why my tongue swells up when I eat certain foods.
I know it would be so easy to give up, just fuck it, but I can't and I'm so tired of trying when it's not recognised.
making myself depressed. yay.
i'm laid in bed crying, i can't sleep and tomorrow i have to go to college and face him, plus turns out stress gives you chest pains, yay.
had to come home from the boyfs early, because I just couldn't stop crying.
I went round, his mum got home at 6, at 7, she came in asked me what i wanted to eat from the co op and i was like erm, (i eat home cooked food and she clearly didn't mean that). S she got pasta and pasta sauce, poured the pasta sauce on, didn't let me check it, it had pepper corns in, which she is aware I'm mildly allergic to (they make me sick and my throat burn and itch) so i sat and ate as much as I could until my throat hurt and I'd tried to scrape all the pasta sauce off. We ate on the sofa in front of the telly again. We used to eat round the table and his mum would cook a nice meal and pudding and we'd chat, but the past three times I've been over, we've eaten in front of the telly, two times having take aways and once i cooked my own tea with Howie. I don't get a warm welcome, they're rude and harsh. And there's nothing I can do and I'm so frustrated and uncomfortable and i just burst into tears, i felt so unwelcome and unwanted. So i came home 2 hours early to cry with mum.
I am so upset.
Cried in public for the first time in a very long time. Just can't keep my emotions in check. I can't even begin to describe how I felt, I hate crying in public, it's embarrassing and I don't feel showing weakness. But it made it okay, because I had someone to grab hold of me and cuddle me and kiss my hair until I stopped, while I was quietly wiping my face saying I need to calm down and was okay.
Just saying, I was not.

The Speakers Corner helps connect think tanks, academia, the media and the public to a diverse group of experts who can speak to UNDP's commitment to "empower lives" and build "resilient nations."
05 Feb 2013
It takes foresight to look into the future and imagine the way you want it to be. And then, it takes persistence and courage to influence it to be so. The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are not imaginary – they are tangible, and many countries are on the way to achieving them. But more than 1 billion people still live in poverty. Growing inequality and injustice, or the effects of climate change and terror activity may not have been what the MDGs were designed to address. But our world is one where the lines are blurring between development and humanitarianism, between short- and long-term impact, between planning for development and for emergencies. Our imagination has to stretch. This time around, while we look to accelerate progress toward the MDGs, two elements could drive and shape this future vision: first, a people's sense of equity, and second, a people's sense of engagement in making their own choices. Let us look at some numbers and the stories they tell: - Zambia has reduced the rate of extreme poverty from 58 percent in 1991 to 43 percent in 2010. However, extreme poverty continues to be higher in rural areas (57 per cent) than urbanRead More

Latin America now enjoys stronger, better integrated economies and more solid democracies than it did 20 years ago. The region is more prosperous and less poor. But epidemic crime and violence threaten to undermine recent gains and demand urgent, innovative public policy solutions. From 2000-2010, homicide rates across the region rose by 11 percent while declining in most regions worldwide. In countries with data for 1980-90, robberies have almost tripled over the last 25 years. One in 10 robberies involves violence, usually with firearms. On a typical day in Latin America, 460 people are victims of sexual violence, usually women. A recent poll found people in Latin America and the Caribbean least likely in the world to feel safe in their communities, with slightly less than half of residents reporting in 2011 that they feel unsafe walking alone at night where they live. That poses a fundamental problem in furthering development. Why open a business only to have it robbed by armed gunmen? Why send a daughter to school if she risks assault along the way? Why such insecurity in a region whose economic and governance indices are moving in the right direction? UNDP's forthcoming Human Development Report for Latin AmericaRead More

The Osman Lecture was endowed by Mrs Ruth Osman, widow of Arnold Osman, who was the first President and founding member of the Renal Association who died in 1972.
The Osman Lecture has usually been given at the Autumn meeting of the Renal Association but has not been incorporated in the Annual Conference. It is delivered by a distinguished series of UK and international nephrologists and renal scientists.
Jeffrey Platt (USA) – New insights into autoimmunity
The Chandos Lecture of the Renal Association was established in 1976 with the support of the National Kidney Research Fund [NKRF]. The Chandos family have given great support to the renal community in this country over many years. The Honourable Anthony Lyttleton, the second Viscount Chandos, developed renal failure in the 1960s, and was treated by dialysis and subsequently received a renal transplant at Charing Cross Hospital under Professor Hugh de Wardener. Lord Chandos hosted the launch of NKRF in Westminster in 1966, and until his death continued to use his considerable influence to promote the issues of renal disease and renal care in high places. His son, Lord Tom Chandos, is similarly extremely active and is the current President of NKRF.
The Chandos Lecture has usually been given at the Autumn meeting of the Renal Association and has been delivered by a distinguished series of UK and international nephrologists and renal scientists.
The de Wardener lecture was established in 2004 in honour of Hugh de Wardener, Emeritus Professor of Medicine at Charing Cross Hospital, and one of our most distinguished nephrologists and clinical scientists. He is a former President of both the Renal Association [1974-77] and the International Society of Nephrology [1969-72].
The first lecture was given by Professor de Wardener himself . From 2006 it has become a regular feature of Renal Association meetings, and chosen lecturers will have a distinguished record in clinical research related to renal disease.

The Federal Reserve has promised $40 billion a month to jump start the economy.They're hoping a plan to buy bonds will translate into more jobs across the country.Stocks shot up within minutes of the Fed's announcement of its plan to stimulate a slow-growing economy by making it cheaper for businesses to borrow and spend.Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is hoping this positive reaction on Wall Street will trickle down to the unemployed as well."While the economy appears to be on a path to moderate recovery, it isn't growing fast enough to make significant progress reducing the unemployment rate," he admitted.Job seekers were hit by disappointing numbers in August.Just 96,000 jobs were added, 45,000 less than in July and well under the 200,000 needed each month needed to significantly lower unemployment."This is a Main Street policy, because what we are trying to do is get jobs going," Bernanke said.The federal reserve will buy $40 billion worth of mortgage debt a month, indefinitely, and extend protections, keeping interest rates low.Financial experts and lawmakers are leery.They're warning of unintended consequences, like rising costs for goods and services.The Fed has already bought about $2 trillion in bonds and mortgage backed securities since 2008.This move indicates that price tag is going to continue to climb until the Fed see steady recovery.

A new CNN/Opinion Research poll has Obama leading McCain by seven points nationally among registered voters, 51%-44%.
Meanwhile, the latest round of Quinnipiac battleground polls show Obama up in Pennsylvania (49%-42%) and statistically tied but leading in Ohio (46%-44%) and Florida (46%-44%). Though Obama still leads, the polls are closer than a month ago with some movement apparent with independents.
VIDEO: NBC Political Director Chuck Todd takes a look at new polls that show John McCain gaining on Barack Obama in swing states and the "ad wars" going on between the candidates.
Looking at Quinnipiac's numbers, the Wall Street Journal notes Obama's losses in demographic groups: "Looking at changes across all four states, independent voters inspired the biggest shift. Obama saw a 26 percentage point loss from June to July, whereas McCain saw a 22 point gain. Similarly, Obama lost 23 points with white males and 22 points with young voters. McCain gained 23 points and 11 points with the respective demographic groups."
MISSOURI: The Washington Post takes a look at Obama's attempts to win the Show Me State. "With a town hall meeting and rally in Springfield, another in Rolla, a stop in Lebanon, and a rainy barbecue here, Obama is trying to mimic Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill's winning game plan from 2006 and get beyond more traditional strategies that left Vice President Al Gore and Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) narrow losers in the Show-Me State. Democrats have traditionally counted on huge margins in St. Louis and Kansas City to counter GOP strength in the rest of the state, and it hasn't worked."

Europe faces an interesting set of immigration challenges and opportunities: Demographic pressures as many European societies age, a lively and at times tense policy and political debate over questions of identity and immigrant integration, and a unique policy environment that has knit 28 European countries together with regards to the management of outer borders, asylum, and other immigration-related topics. MPI has long conducted research and analysis of European policy on topics ranging from labor mobility and border security to immigrant integration, citizenship, and foreign qualifications recognition, which can be found below.
Ireland's economy and openness to labor migration from new EU Member States fueled immigration flows, including return migration, over the past few years. But the global recession has hit the country hard, and unemployment among both foreigners and Irish nationals is rising. Emma Quinn of the Economic and Social Research Institute in Dublin updates the Ireland country profile with a look at recent trends, policies, and data.
Recent immigration to the United Kingdom is larger and more diverse than at any point in its history. This updated profile examines how the global recession is affecting migration flows, the latest immigration and asylum data, and overviews of new immigration and integration policies.
Nearly 40 percent of Switzerland's 1.6 million foreign residents come from countries outside the European Union. Julie Schindall examines the latest data on this population, integration indicators and policies, and political rhetoric and public opinion.
The idea of belonging is a powerful lens for examining immigrant integration. Geoff Mulgan of the Young Foundation in the United Kingdom outlines 10 key feedback circuits, including the economy, culture, and physical environment, from which people receive messages about belonging.
Gloomy economic forecasts do not seem to have slowed the hunt for highly skilled migrants or foreign students — the best near-term solution to fill shortages and enhance competitiveness.
This report explores how French national identity and sense of belonging are both defined and expressed. The discussion revolves around the issues of "hyphenated identities" and whether the split allegiances of dual citizens weaken social cohesion in France.
This report focuses on the effects of migration on political extremism in North America, Western Europe, and Central and Eastern Europe. The author explores nativist reactions, analyzes the role of migration in the identity and discourse of nativist actors, examines public effects of their impact on migration policies, and summarizes ways in which states respond to anti-immigrant extremism.
This report analyzes developments in UK integration policy over the past 15 years—a period in which immigration levels increased substantially, with the composition of migration flows becoming increasingly temporary and diverse in nature. The analysis focuses on whether or not policy has influenced national identity, integration outcomes, and neighborhood cohesion.
Este manual ofrece a los formuladores de políticas y especialistas una guía accesible y práctica sobre las iniciativas gubernamentales referentes a la diáspora. Este manual contiene un menú, seleccionado cuidadosamente, de opciones normativas y programáticas viables basadas en experiencias reales en distintas partes del mundo.
Ce manuel pratique et simple d'utilisation à l'usage des décideurs et des praticiens fait le point des mesures les plus récentes prises par les pouvoirs publics en direction des diasporas. La question qui se pose aux responsables politiques n'est pas tant de savoir si les diasporas peuvent être utiles à leur pays d'origine, mais comment elles le sont et quels types de politiques et de programmes publics sont à même de favoriser ces relations.
This event marks MPI Europe's official launch in Brussels. To inaugurate the new office, MPI Europe will host a panel discussion to explore what is driving societal discontent in Europe, the role immigration plays in this, and why there is a growing perception that immigrant integration efforts are failing.
For more than a decade, states have experimented with civic integration policies that require immigrants to learn the official language of their host country and acknowledge its basic norms and values—or risk losing social benefits and even residence permits. This report explores ways states can put forth smart policies that benefit natives and immigrants in host countries.
This Transatlantic Council Statement examines both the challenge and opportunity for governments, in an era of skepticism about migration, to create a new definition of "we" based on a more inclusive idea of national identity and belonging, and to convince the broader society that investing in integration is an investment in shared futures.

Accounting for Value
We're very excited to announce that SIAA and The SROI Network are coming together to form Social Value International, the largest international social value network in the world. For the next few months, we are undergoing a transitional period in which our activities will be changing – however, it will still be possible to join the networks, come to events and participate in training courses. For more information about the collaboration, see our press release here.
We are a leading international social enterprise, owned by our members with the aim of changing the way society accounts for value.
SROI is a framework based on social generally accepted accounting principles (SGAAP) that can be used to help manage and understand the social, economic and environmental outcomes created by your activity or organisation.
"Social Return on Investment (SROI) aims to increase social equality, environmental sustainability and wellbeing. Our vision is for a world in which decisions take account of social and environmental returns as well as financial returns.
We believe that current approaches contribute to social inequality and environmental degradation. It will not be enough to create new approaches that sit alongside current practice. We need mainstream approaches to include a wider sense of value and to give a voice to those that are affected. For this to happen we need to show that value is missing from many or even most decisions about policy and practice. And that it is possible to show what is missing and value it, in a way that is clearly viable and reasonable.
This is what SROI does."
Read the entire SROI Vision statement here
Download the free SROI spreadsheet to help you identify social value here.
SROI will help you understand, manage and communicate the social value that your work creates in a clear and consistent way with customers, beneficiaries and funders.
It can help you manage risks and identify opportunities and raise finance.
It will throw up potential improvements to services, information systems and the way you govern you businesses.
All in order to increase the social value or impact of your work.
Whether you are a private enterprise, a social business, an investor or commissioning services, SROI will help you account for the wider impact of your work and allow you to make more informed decisions.
Because SROI is built on principles, it is very flexible. Different organisations create value in many different ways. A consistent approach to understanding and accounting for social value means that you can communicate clearly where and how you create value in a credible way.
Members of the SROI Network (soon to be Social Value UK) can be either individual members or organisational members.There are two levels of organisational membership depending on the level of turnover.
Membership for individuals starts from just £60. Find out about all the benefits of joining the SROI Network (soon to be Social Value UK) on our member benefits page.

Arturo Fuente Curly Head Deluxe Reviews [view details]Give us YOUR review!
Showing 1 through 10 of 44 reviews
"More than I expected..."
Picked one of these up as one of several different maduros that I was trying. After a couple weeks of rest, lit it up and, though it didn t knock my socks off, I wasn t disappointed either. Burn was consistent and even, draw was easy, ash was tight and easily made 1-1 1/2 inches if left alone, flavor was a bit mild but a consistent mix of earth and wood reminded me a lot of smoking pecan wood with occasional notes of chocolate bitterish chocolate, like bakers chocolate and the last third brought in some coffee. Got a solid hour burn despite having to smoke the first half a bit faster than normal to get good smoke out of it. Overall, I d say a 7.5 /10, I would keep a couple of these in the box for guests.James in Texas December 29, 2013
Wow... who would have thought ... A true Fuente experience. I had the pleasure of the Deluxe Maduro Curly head and was surprised, a consistent smoke with the wonderful full body flavor that is the mark of any Fuentes cigar, No runs w/ an even burn, and a smooth draw I allowed this cigar to burn out half way and resumed my smoke an hour later after dinner... again Wow ... light well, burned even... and same great flavor right down to the little nub... only because I continued to enjoy this one soon much... thanksNun Yah in South Alabama August 18, 2013
"Great Flavour"
What a great smoke, and affordable. Very nice taste, but mild and not overwhelmingly strong for a long stick!Fergus in Ottawa, Canada November 11, 2012
"Great smoke"
I love maduro cigars, and was pretty much a Punch smoker. After trying a few AF cigars, and after reading the reviews of these, I ordered a box of these jems. See where I am going here? They are a great smoke. Full-flavored, and contrary to some of the reviews, well made. Fantastic cigar.Steve in Hyde Park September 11, 2012
"Good smoke at great price"
This is a well rolled cigar for the everyday smoker. Good aroma, draw and burn. Pleasant after taste.Manny J in Port Orange, Fl February 22, 2012
"All-around good anytime stick thick creamy smoke!"
I love em especially for the price. This was the first time I ever had any inconsistancy with the burn or taste...I will continue to both enjoy them and buy them from Famous !!!!Robert in Virginia October 27, 2011
"A Great Everyday Cigar!"
: A Great everyday Cigar! I?ve smoked these cigars for some time now and highly recommend them. A wonderful taste and aroma. While the draw is smooth, I?ve noted an occasional inconsistency going towards more difficult. You?ll also have to work just a bit to keep this one burning evenly but, overall I?d rate this cigar at 4 Stars for its flavor and aroma discounting the small problems I?ve mentioned.Mike Horyn in Central Kentucky July 19, 2011
"very mild & aromatic"
for the price, compared to many long filler expensive cigars out there, this stick is an emense enjoyment. it has a mixture of long and short fillers, but... the tobacco is all top grade. and especially the broadleaf wrapper. it's a maduro lovers dream. the taste is like fresh brazilian coffee and dark chocolate, with a toasty woody accent. The aroma is a pleasant coffee brewing over a fireplace. I truely enjoy these any time of the day, thats how mild they are. this is a great bargain for you cigar loves, especially maduro lovers. try one when you have time to relax and enjoy it. have it with a fresh pot of brewed coffee. you'll be glad you did.Bruce in wickliffe ohio March 17, 2011
"My Fave Everyday Stick"
I love this stick. I keep it in the Humi as something I always have to fall back on. And at $2.00!!!! You can't go wrong with the curly head deluxe maduro!Corey W in Louisville, KY April 28, 2010
"Not very good!"
I made the mistake in purchasing 2 boxes. These cigars are not worth the money. they are worth about a buck ea. I have even aged them in my Humidor for over year and I still don't care for them. This cigar is good if you are doing yard work or if you don't have time to enjoy a good cigar.Raman in Southern CA April 14, 2010

The American Jewish Historical Society provides access to more than 25 million documents and 50,000 books, photographs, art and artifacts that reflect the history of the Jewish presence in the United States from 1654 to the present. Founded in 1892, AJHS is the oldest ethnic historical organization in the nation. It is one of five partner organizations at The Center for Jewish History in Manhattan and has a branch at the New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS) in Boston.
Among its treasures is the original manuscript notebook of Emma Lazarus' poetry including her handwritten draft of "The New Colossus" which she penned for an 1883 auction to help fund the pedestal for the Statue of Liberty. Lazarus (1849 – 1887) was a strong supporter of Jewish immigrants' rights. The Emma Lazarus collection at AJHS includes correspondence, articles, the notebook of her poetry, and published copies of her poems. "The New Colossus" was read at the Statue of Liberty's dedication on October 28, 1886, and engraved on the pedestal in 1903.
Every year, the American Jewish Historical Society presents the Emma Lazarus Statue of Liberty Award to an individual who has demonstrated outstanding leadership and commitment to strengthening the American Jewish community.

41st meeting of the Standing Committee
Lamentablemente, no hay versión en español de este documento
CONVENTION ON WETLANDS (Ramsar, Iran, 1971)
41st Meeting of the Standing Committee
Kobuleti, Georgia, 26 April – 1 May 2010
Agenda item 18.2
World Wetlands Day themes for 2011 and 2012
Action requested: The Standing Committee is invited to note the information on WWD 2011 and requested to take a decision on (a) the linking of the theme for WWD 2012 with the COP11 theme and (b) the COP11 theme itself.
World Wetlands Day 2011
1. Standing Committee Decision SC40-36 confirmed the suggested theme for World Wetlands Day 2011 as "Wetlands and Forests", in support of the decision by the UN to declare 2011 the International Year of Forests.
2. This Decision also "urged the Parties to consider planning some special local, national, and regional celebrations for the 40th anniversary of the Convention; requested the Secretariat to prepare a suitable 40th anniversary commemoration in collaboration with the Parties and the International Organization Partners". While a more detailed report to Standing Committee on the plans for the 40th anniversary celebrations is provided under Agenda item 18.3, under the present Agenda item the Secretariat can confirm that WWD2011 will have an additional focus on celebrating the 40 years of the Convention. This will be achieved through the launching of a 40th anniversary booklet on the Convention on 2nd February as well as through references to the 40th anniversary, as appropriate, in the regular WWD materials.
World Wetlands Day 2012
3. The Standing Committee chose to link the theme of the 10th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP10) with the World Wetlands Day theme in the same year (Healthy Wetlands – Healthy People). Although this was not confirmed as a standard procedure for future COPs, the Committee may wish to confirm whether or not this should be the case for COP11 as well.
4. In Decision SC40-36 the SC determined to revisit the subject of the theme for WWD 2012 at its 41st meeting, noting the theme of "Wetlands and Tourism" or "Wetlands and Ecotourism" proposed by the Secretariat. It is pertinent to note that on World Wetlands Day 2010, a memorandum of cooperation between the Ramsar Secretariat and the World Tourism Organization was signed recognising the value of wetlands to the tourism industry and the potential value of tourism in alleviating poverty, also highlighting the need to ensure the sustainability of tourism in or near wetlands.
5. Based on this, in discussions between the Secretariat and the hosts of COP11 in February of this year, it was agreed to conclude discussions on the COP11 theme, and thus perhaps the WWD 2012 theme as well, during the meeting of the Subgroup on COP11 at SC41 and to make a proposal for the full Standing Committee at that time.

"I can highly, highly recommend the Soujoc, which are homemade spicy lebanese sausages with tomato, parsley and lemon juice." in 3 reviews
"The meze was lovely, great falafel and tabouleh salad - really fresh." in 4 reviews
"Chicken taouk, lamb shawarma, hommos, mezze...I haven't tried anything that I didn't like from Yalla Yalla." in 3 reviews
Great food. Reasonable prices. Amazing selection. Light atmosphere.
I came here based on my hotel concierge's recommendation. I was not disappointed. I was greeted by a smile and promptly seated. Drinks and some nibbles arrived in short order. Great advice on menu teams from the waiter ensures I had an amazing dining experience. The staff left you in peace to enjoy your meal rather than pester you every few minutes to ask if everything is fine.
I would recommend this place to anyone that appreciates Lebanese food or willing to try delicious food with great flavor.
Don't order the calimari!!! Tastes like what I picked off my ceiling on pancake day...
Other than that food was ok, chicken wings are delicious. Service = mixed. Quite surprising how popular this is, seems to be a triumph of marketing more than anything else
I was really looking forward to finally go to Yalla Yalla - I absolutely love Mediterranean food. Unfortunately Yalla Yalla was a dissappointment. The food wasn't bad, it wasn't good, it was average. It lacked flavour, juiciness and depth of that Lebanese cuisine is so known for.
We ordered chicken livers, skewered lamb, deep fried seafood starter, fattoush salad and Ossmalaiah for dessert.
Chicken livers (Sawda Djej) were good - juicy and flavourful, I love liver as it is. Though it wasn't mind blowing, it was the best food that was served.
Deep friend seafood (Makale Samak) with yoghurt dip - was average: deep fried white bait, calamari and shrimp was ok for nibbling but not very interesting.
Skewered lamb (Lahem Meshue) seemed not to have any marinate at all, was plain and not exciting, it was dry too - I would definitely say overcooked.
Fattoush salad had too much vinegar but was ok.
And finally Osmallaiah (deep fried vermicelli with clotted cream and rose syrup) was ok too, I would definitely add more clotted cream and remove some of the vermicelli.
Service was good. I liked the setting too - wooden tables (though tables we sat at were way too close to one another!), bright space, casual and unassuming. Shame about the food...
Yalla Yallla shows people that middle eastern food isn't all about meat, carbs and overpowering flavours. Get some small plates to share to experience all the delicate fresh flavours. It's a nice contemporary non-existent place to go if you're thanking for more than just a kebab, or a good introduction to a modern western take on middle eastern flavours.
Found this gem on yelp... came here at lunchtime and the line was out the door!!! I decided to order for take away and they have decent priced lunch meal deals. They have an array of wraps on display to choose from. I had the hummus with Shawarma and the Soujac wrap. Soujac is a type of yummy spicy lebanese sausage. I took away a star because my wrap was a a bit soggy in places and crispy on the outside. The sogginess was most likely caused from them preparing the wrap to early in the day and letting the vegetables, pickles etc make the wrap soggy. Then they placed the wrap a few hours later on the griddle and it just didn't work. none wants gooey areas in their wrap. The hummus was not the best I have ever had but it was decent. Over all I had a good experience and would give this place another go, I left feeling beyond full.
this sort of food is right up my street - namely because it's street food (which I love!). Think Wahaca but the Lebanese version. I went here for cocktails and snacks. I ordered a Turkish delight martni (amazeballs) and a meze with chicken wings. The meze was lovely, great falafel and tabouleh salad - really fresh. My only disappointment was that the houmous wasn't fresh. I'm yet to sample one of their larger dishes but I can't wait to go back.
So this place isn't going to set the world alight but given its location for the price it's going to make a nice quick stop off.
Service was good, didn't need to wait to be served, although 6pm on a Monday doesn't quite have the demand of other days of the week.
There's a nice atmosphere to the place, although don't be expecting an isolated meal, you'll be well acquainted with your fellow dinners so probably best to keep the private talk for another time.
So the important bit, the food and price, for the money it's not bad, circa 15 a head for food and tip, we weren't left hungry but we weren't overly full, the food was good quality but you can get better around London.
In summary I won't be running away to recommend this place but if I was in the area I may stop in again as finding somewhere nice without huge cues and within budget can be a task near Oxford Street
Classic Lebanese street food, doesn't get much better than this!
The portions are cheap and the food is so good you want to go there as a group. This ensures you can order everything on the menu and get a taste from all of it! :)
No matter what time of the day it's going to be busy so prepare to wait for a bit. If you visit at lunch time I highly recommend the wraps. For under £5 it's a bargain (a very tasty one...)
We ate the winsley street branch & found the food really good. It was fresh & full of flavour, my husband is egyptian so use to the middle eastern spice's found the different meze's really tasty. We had about 4 different meze's with bread plus a giant prawn dish with rice & a beautiful tomato sauce.the fresh juices are good too, I had the apple,mint & ginger it was great.we got there about 7'ish & it wasn't busy but then in 15 mins it just packed out!!. Our bill was approx £47, but that 2 fresh juices, 4 meze's plus a main & 2 desserts, that's pretty good value I'd say. Give it a try, it's quick tasty food, nice atmosphere.
Great hype, talked about, queue out the door!
But.... why?
Maybe it's the cool looking interior. I admit, I do love the long, chunky wooden tables and benches, even if they are uncomfortable and really hard to maneuver around. The toilets are also nice, clean and have fancy lotion!
Ok, that's great and all, but what about the food?
About half the menu is vegetarian, and a lot of those are vegan. They even had spinach parcels sans feta which I have never seen. Everything was overpriced and just ok. Stuffed grape leaves were very acidic and lacking something, and nearly £5 for a bowl of dip? Please.
OmniMonkey had a lamb dish. He lamented a few times during dinner that he'd much rather make the trip out to Petek in Finsbury Park. He did say at least he felt full afterwards. Nothing worse than over priced food that doesn't fill you up.
Rushed service, they wanted our large group out ASAP, constantly sticking their arms across our faces to take barely finished plates.
The floor manager actually started picking up my things (my purse!) to move them to another seat to squeeze in more people at our mostly filled community table. Seriously!
I wouldn't recommend it and I don't plan to give it a second chance.
We were looking for a reasonably-priced restaurant and ended up at Yalla-Yalla in Fitzrovia, just off Oxford Street. After a short wait, we got a place and could place our orders. We selected a number of starters and shared them among the table.
All in all most of us quite enjoyed the food at Yalla-Yalla. If you look for Lebanese food in central London, this is definitely a place you should check out.
I went for a lunch with people from my office and we booked a table for 12.30. We had good food, especially the mezzes, of which babba ganoush and the lamb-topped hommous were great. The wraps weren't anything special (and the staff had to be reminded to bring most of them over to our table, 20 minutes after the first half of the mains arrived). We were provided with free baklava for the delay, which was nice.
I keep coming back and it is still delicious. The schwarma here is just too delicious to stop eating....
Deep fried lamb and cracked wheat parcels filled with onions confit, minced meat and roasted pine nuts.
Chickpea and broad bean patties with salads, tahini and garlic yoghurt sauce.
Grilled thin slices of marinated lamb, grilled tomato, sumac, parsley and red pepper salad.
This is the bigger of the 2 main Yalla Yalla branches. I visited on a Wednesday evening where as the evening progressed, so did the queues!
I went for a number of the smaller dishes. The falafel was some of the best I ever had and the hummus and baba ganoush are also pretty great. The food doesn't all come out at once, which I didn't mind apart from that our fried fish dish was brought out about 5-10 minutes after everything else.
The service was ok. It was very busy so I can forgive it not being 5*. One issue was where our table was placed though (in a corner behind stairs) which meant often having to wave erratically to get any attention.
That being sad, I am a fan of this place! Personally prefer the atmosphere of the smaller Soho branch.
I had friends over from the USA, yay!
One was staying in East London, another in West london and the other in South London. One wants the the restaurant to be not too expensive , another wants to meet in central london and the third is vegan and they all need to be impressed.
Anyway, so having consulted the internet for such a place professor internet recommended this place. It says that the food is fresh and cheap. It's tasty and great for vegetarians and most of all it's central and boy is the internet a wonderful mistress, she always (well mostly) comes up trumps!
You can't book, you have to enter in a Wagamama style queue and get sat on a long table, though individual tables were also around. The staff were enthusiastic and were helpful with the menu.
We just had a couple of starters and wine each, which was more than enough. The vege stuff was done to perfection with nut pate and various hummous but the best for me was the steak tartar, all beautiful and just enough. It's rare that a restaurant gets the vege stuff to be just as good as the meat and gives the option of not feeling too bloated on leaving.
The place got all my points! yay points!
PS Reservations are only for groups of 10 or more
So, this was the place my department went for our Christmas dinner. What a great choice it was. It must have been quite a frightening sight to have a group of 30 giggling girls come up to you ... one of the managers seemed a bit helpless at that point. Nevermind... They set us down at two long tables, which had enough space around them so we could get up and walk around. That is most important if you want to chat with another person further down the table without shouting the house down.
We had a set Christmas menu, which consisted of a selection of starters and dips, like hummus, spicy sausages and little chicken things that looked like spring rolls. I have to admit that it was so "lecker" that I stuffed myself with these starters without considering the main course. Main was lamp cooked on the bone with sweet couscous. It was a dish not everyone liked, but the meat was well done and the whole dish fit together well. To finish we had baklava and rice pudding. Also delicious!
During the whole stay the waiters were very patient with us and also a bit flirty, which always goes down well with a group of girls. They also offer cocktails, but they are not that great. Sorry guys!
Given all of the other reviews, I had high hopes for Yalla Yalla. And although the real thing didn't entirely disappoint, it didn't launch me on a non-stop flavour journey to Lebanon either.
On walking in, the decor definitely hinted at what was in store for the food: fairly standard London mini-chain communal seating, along nice long tables with very uncomfortable stools. And the food was exactly that, the Middle Eastern version of Wagamama et al. Nothing was bad, but nothing was great either. It all tasted like typical Middle Eastern fare and didn't convince me that I had to make a return journey here.
Service was prompt, friendly, and efficient, and very helpful with a friend's dietary restrictions. Food arrived quickly, although in somewhat scattered fashion. First up were babaganoush, labne bilthum (a yogurt dish with garlic), and halloumi. Portions were small and there wasn't much flavour to any of the dishes. The babaganoush could have been hummous, the labne tasted like greek yogurt with some spices, and the halloumi was very bland.
Arrayes came next, which were pastry filled with semi-sweet spiced lamb, followed by the sea bass, which was probably the best dish we had. Very nicely spiced with a great sauce, the fish was well cooked and really tasty. Lamb and chicken shawarmas followed, both overflowing with meat. Neither was orchestrated very well and we just felt like we were eating well cooked, sliced meat, on top of a very thin pita.
Finally, the sojouc appetizer was brought out, which were Lebanese sausages, perfectly ok, but nothing spectacular.
Which basically sums up this whole restaurant...everything, including the Lebanese lager, was just ok. Not great, not up to Maroush and honestly not even on par with Tas. And in the end, it was fairly expensive too, with just 4 beers, the meal for 4 came to £80.
Found this place when meandering what increasingly became the seedy streets of London, which includes adult video, "massage" paroles, and Asian manga/comic shops. However, Yalla Yalla was a diamond in the rough.
The small space was packed, with a young, vibrant crowd. I ordered a falafel wrap (£3.5) and double espresso for take away -- both were delicious.
Would definitely return -- if I can find it!
Very good and cheap lebanese restaurant in a cool location. The place is very nice, with one side with normal tables and the other with taller long tables for large groups or to share.
I love the mixed grilled plate that comes with rice and the seafood. Hummus and other appetizers are also very good. Try the lebanese wine, it is strong but tasty.
Need to go back!
This place has a great location just of oxford street so when your looking for a quality meal healthy and filling this is the place to go.
Service is good food is great and very good value for money.
Great food, but everything else was kind of chaotic.
Normally I like communal dining, but the stools were uncomfortable & luck of the draw will have you being too close to your overbearingly loud, self-absorbed neighbour stranger.
Service was quick but hectic. Requested twice to have the salad that comes with the lahem meshoue swapped for fattoush & could tell it wasn't going to happen by the waiter's non-reaction. As it goes, we were served by 3 different people. A couple nearby asked if they could get more pita & the waitress hurriedly replied "I'm not really sure". When attempting to get the bill, the waiter kept passing by & didn't return after saying he would. Another wait & request for the bill to another server. Finally we stood to put on our coats & the bill arrived.
Better experience & atmosphere at the smaller, seedier Green's Court location.
Yalla Yalla lures me in nearly three times a week. I love this place. This second location is much larger than the Greens Court location, with a full staff and bright airy space. The food is just as good!
Chicken taouk, lamb shawarma, hommos, mezze...I haven't tried anything that I didn't like from Yalla Yalla. For lunch, go for the wrap and hommos combo (£6.50). For dinner, settle in with a wine recommendation from the knowledgeable staff. In fact, give them a clue on what you'd like to eat and they'll order for you. Recommendations from the staff have been awesome.
Okay so the one on Green's Court is so tiny that you must have picked up some good karma points that day to get a table without having to wait for ages and the bigger one on Winsley Street is so loud and scene-y...but I never, ever get tired of Yalla Yalla food!
Every time I'm amazed how I could walk away from this place so full, yet have spent so little money. I'm pretty sure I've tried about 75% of the menu and have yet to be disappointed. Bring a bit of patience leading up to getting seated, but you'll be stuffed and happy when you leave.
I do realize I should stop writing such good things about it though because I swear the line for a table gets longer and longer every time I go!
The second Yalla Yalla (this one) is only a few minutes from where I work, so when the team & I found out it was opening, we got a little bit excited.
It delivers in every way possible. Going in to eat is speedy, the menu HUGE and caters for both meat lovers/veggies alike. Reasonably priced, a lunch for two with six variations and no alcohol will only set you back £30 (ish).
I can highly, highly recommend the Soujoc, which are homemade spicy lebanese sausages with tomato, parsley and lemon juice. They were amazing. The grilled halloumi, falafel and hummous with bread rounded it off nicely. We also had the batata harra, spicy sautéed potato with red pepper, corriander, garlic, cumin and fresh chili - which was a perfect combo.
The takeout wraps are apparently also delicious, but I'm yet to try. That won't be the case for long though...
I cunningly geared a group of friends towards the new Yalla Yalla, as it is conveniently positioned a stone's throw away from my office.
The four of us are big middle eastern food eaters so know our babbas from our hummuses.
The restaurant is far large than its Soho sister, making it less claustrophobic, although I found the high stools and long benches rather out of keeping with the lebanese norm - when you think middle eastern, youu think comfy poofs and low tables. The effect seemed slightly sterile - very much a Londoner's lebanese - although you can't argue with the fact that the restaurant looked bright, brand new and clean.
Hummus and Babba Ganoush were pretty standard but tasty and fresh nonetheless. A dish of crushed nuts with peppers and olive oil was more unsual (so much so that I can't remember the name) and therefore a welcome addition. The Makale Samak - a HUGE portion of deep-fried seafood - was a bit full-on for my tastes, and needed a good dose of lemon juice. It took us a good 15 minutes to get someone's attention for the lemons, by which time the seafood was cold - the one blight to the evening.
Shish Taouk (grilled chicken with vermicelli rice) was good but could have done with a bit more Taouk, and the Fatte Khodra (another unfamiliar dish of cooked veg in yoghurt and tomato sauce topped with pitta) was slightly over-cardamom'd but generally liked by all.
The perfect place to go with a group of friends - it was rather noisy but that only added to the atmosphere, and we were happy to dig in to the pitta and shout along with the rest of 'em.
Meh. Just plain meh.
Chicken was good, but incredibly dry.
And the place was so insanely loud, that I could barely hear my friend from just across the thin banqueting table. Maybe it's intentional so the people next to you can't hear your conversation. Maybe.
I don't think I'll be going back, to be honest. I mean. If I'm in the eighbourhodo and craving lebanese food and don't mind something loud, then maybe. Otherwise I don't see myself bothering.
Staff are lovely, and the food is quite decent, but the place is so incredibly loud that I'd avoid it on those grounds only. If I go eat, I want to talk to my companions, not have to lean over and shout.
I've been to this place twice now and found the food to be somewhat average.
The first time I went there I had a chicken shawarma. It was dry and bland.
The second time (yesterday) I had the mixed grill. Again it was dry and over cooked. The rice was cold too.
For the price of the food I don't think it's worth visiting.
Saying that I found the staff to be really nice and helpful and I do like the actual restaurant. Nice feel and looks clean.
Tiny but pretty much perfect. It's kind of a cafe/ restaurant with food to take away and a working kitchen downstairs. There's not a load of seating so turn up before 7pm or book.
Also,since i'm here, this place has the smallest gents toilet I've visited to date. You head down some stairs, round a corner and then along a passageway that gets smaller and smaller until you're almost crouching... worth a visit right?
Great spot for a quick, tasty, unpretentious meal. Prices are good, food quality is high, service is decent. It's a fairly lively spot. A nice option for this part of town.
I didn't know whether to be excited or trepidatious when somewhere I love, especially somewhere so small, quirky and seemingly unchainable opens another branch. The original Yalla Yalla only opened a year or so ago on a tiny anonymous (and slightly pissy if we're honest) alley just off Brewer Street. It became a favourite for lunch, if slightly far away and always too crowded to sit down. They some very clever things with a bit of lamb, a few sesame seeds and some very good flatbread. Homely, authentic and very down to earth, it certainly didn't have Global Resto Megachain written all over it.
The closure of our local greasy spoon wasn't a cause for much mourning, cheap and a little scuzzy, it was never more than a last resort lunch spot. The surprise came with the news that Yalla Yalla was going up in the world, and expanding. It's certainly got more space than the original. They've still got the same menu of authentic Beirut street food, though have expanded this to include a few larger dishes.
On both occasions (twice in two days, but working lunches doesn't count as proper calories) we went for sets of mezze to share. Tart pickled turnip (a proper revelation), olives and peppers came as we sat, the food freshly cooked and shortly afterwards. Hommos (sic) came with moreish juicy lumps of lamb, melting with crisp burnished edges from the hefty elephantine leg of meat rotating round the grill. This is how sheep hope their babies end up and as far from your local 'bab house as you can get. The same lamb features with a lemon parsley salad as a main course and packing their (perfect for takeaway) rolls. Grilled pitta stuffed with spicy minced lamb came topped with tahini and pomegranate, a princely portion for £4.25. The other entrant in the 'can't believe they can do that good for that cheap' category was a huge portion of deep fried prawns, whitebait and calamari, well cooked, well spiced and well cheap (sorry, really) for £5.50. There's not much I wouldn't go back for to be honest. And it's round the corner from my office, so I will, soon.
The slightly claustrophobic feel of the Green Court original has gone, banished by wide spaces, though thankfully many of the more pleasing, rustic touches remain. Bench seating, dotted in places with throws and cushions, goes well with the thickset oak furniture. The staff are keen, possibly too keen, but you can't fault them for that. Genuinely eager to please, four of them checking on how the meal was going may have been a little OTT, no matter how much they meant it. It's a genuinely promising place for lunch, perfect for shoppers and Soho workers unable or unwilling to get to Charlotte Street.
I "yallad" over to Yalla Yalla after reading the good food reviews from Yelp. Unfortunately,the food served here did not quite reach my expectations.I ordered Labne Bil Thum, which is usually fantastic but here it tasted like "blah" and the pita bread with it was quite thick and not served fresh(warm). Secondly, I tried the Fatayer Spinach, which is a pastry filled with spinach. Sadly, the pasty was dry and and hard making it a bit unpalatable. Lastly, I had the Lahem meshoue for my main course. Being my favorite dish, I was really looking forward to have it but the meat disappointed me. I must say it had good flavor but it was just chewy. As a result, I will more likely to Yalla out of Yalla Yalla.
Try something different. This Beirut street food booth sells really good coffee and tasty food! Expect middle eastern food and delicious cakes! This appears to be a pop-up stall with a years lease on the first floor terrace at kings cross. I would recommend, as the food and service are superb, well worth a visit if you're hungry, on the go and fancy something a little different.
The first thing I noticed walking into the restaurant was that the pita rolls and wraps were sitting in stacks on a platter behind glass. True to what it looked like, biting into the falafal wrap revealed a shockingly hard pita bread that was not at all fresh. The pita bread that came with the Baba Ganoush was just as hard. The falafal itself was brittle, falling out in little pieces out of the wrap as I ate. The only thing that looked like it might be fresh was the sharwma meat on the spit.
All that said, the taste of the food was 'okay', but I don't get all the good reviews here. I love the name of the place and atmosphere was nice, but the food was as the British say 'rubbish'
Absolutely loved this place. The prices were reasonable. The food was extremely flavorful. The service was great. Honestly, I have nothing I really could say bad about the place. It's a nice non-touristy location. Go here if you're in London and on a bit of a budget.
Tasty, tasty, tasty... This place has a great atmosphere (lunch / dinner / meet with friends / take a date / take your mum), friendly staff, nice relaxed vibe and the food ain't bad either. Well worth a trip for a PIG OUT on mezze. I was with 2 vegetarians when I went and they seemed pretty happy with the menu options too.
I'd recommend booking. YUM.
Very nice food! I ordered a mains and it was massive! Ive been a few times and prefer getting multiple starters over 1 main mean as you get a nice selection of food that way. Its bigger than the Soho branch also which is a massive plus.
yep great takeaway lunch wrap. hot and tasty. flavours are great. price is good. maybe a bit larger portion but overall excellent.staff were friendly and attentive except for one little rude short haired brunette girl telling us to shut up moaning about the over 10 minute wait.(my friends wrap)

After more than a decade in business, a coast restaurant will be closing its doors for good Saturday night. Vrazel's Restaurant in Gulfport served many of its regulars for the last time this evening.
Through the ups and downs of the economy and the struggles following many natural disasters, William Vrazel has 27 years of a successful business under his belt. It's been a good run, but at this point, Vrazel says its time for change.
"We began with what I thought was the best staff, and we're ending with probably an even better staff than we started with. Its been a wonderful run and I've enjoyed every minute of it. I've got great customers here on the Gulf Coast. People seem to really enjoy the cuisine. I've loved every minute of it, but its time for me to move on," Vrazel said.
Vrazel says with a business, as stressful as the restaurant industry is, maintaining it at an older age can be tiresome. He prides himself on creating a brand of excellence and feels that ending on a high note, is the best way to do it.
"We all felt that we all have families and little kids. The demand of the restaurant is extreme and you can't get away. I think right now its time to accent family, promote family and be more into family. The restaurant business is a little hard to do that, although we work as family. But I think its time we all concentrate on family," Vrazel said.
Throughout the years, the eatery has served as much more than a restaurant. Touching loves, and creating memories for countless families on the coast. Mark Helgesin and his wife Angel are just one of many examples.
"We actually had our first date here at Vrazel's a few years back. We've been coming here probably four to five times a year since then. So it's a big part of our lives," Helgesin said.
Though its a bittersweet moment for many, Vrazel is confident he's making the right decision. He says he started this business venture with his faith in God leading him. Now that he's beginning a new chapter in life, its that same faith that he believes will carry him along.
"God loves us all. We must rely on that faith to get us through times that are hard and times that are great. So lets go forward," Vrazel said.
