Lebanese and Palestinian cuisine prepared in an open kitchen in the centre of a modern restaurant

Hiba Express

I came here for the Palestinian support ofc, but it turns out that's not the only perk of the place. The staff is all Palestinian, and so the owner and the food. I had a Kafta Meshwi, which came with 3 lamb skewers, for just £17. I think it's great value for money. And the quality was really good. It's not the typical London restaurant, bringing you food after 2 minutes. Here you have to wait, as they prepare everything from scratch, even the drinks or the sauces. Talking about drinks, I had a nice Jellab, which reminded me a bit of a rose lemonade. Definitely a great place to go if you're in Holborn and hungry. You'll make your stomach feel good, and so your heart.

Ordered catering for a work event - so generously portioned and good value for money. Beautifully presented and very friendly staff. Catered to all dietary preferences and Sayeda was flexible to my requests and last min changes. Would highly recommend!

TLDR - came at 5, ordered food at 5:45/6 food came at 7 with many missing items, missing drinks, warm/cold food. Cancelled a few items as everyone was overwhelmed. Overcharged us with a few drinks but also over made a wrap 3 times so just gave to us. Don’t go as a big group and on a Saturday.

Wanted to go here to support a Palestine restaurant so went as a group on 9 on a Saturday. We understand that it is busy and a group of 9 is pretty big so we were very understanding but I’m sorry we had a terrible experience.

We came around 5 (we booked in for 5) and got sat downstairs as we were a bigger group and it was almost like they forgot about us. We sat for almost an hour until we were able to order anything. No one came to check on us and we had to keep going upstairs to get their attention.

Finally near to 6 we got to order. Ordered the food and drinks. I had 2 friends that came later on and ordered upstairs, their food platter came before everyone else did. It took an hour to finally get everyone’s food but still there were missing items and missing drinks. Most of the food was warm/cold by the time it got to us. Some food we even ended up cancelling because we were already there for almost 3 hours we were just getting overstimulated. We were all so hungry so we just ate, we were also told someone would come down with the bill but no one did.

They did end up giving us randomly 2 chicken wraps because I think there was no communication between anyone. (They didn’t charge us for this).

We then just decided after 20 mins to go upstairs to pay. They tried to charge us for extra drinks we didn’t order as two of us ordered the platter for 2 and it came with drinks but they added it as a separate item.

I also don’t want to make it about anything but the service but there was a small family of 5 who got sat down and left within an hour and a half while we were still waiting for our food. There was also a bigger group of people who got sat down and within 10 minutes got theirs order taken and within 20/30 minute majority of their food came out. There was a clear distinction between them and us with languages…. Take that as you will.

I’m sorry but I really wanted to enjoy my experience here but it just ended up being an overstimulating, cold and stressful evening. It was meant to be for my birthday but I’m just extremely upset. Like I mentioned we all tried to be understanding, the food would have been good if it was hot or warm but it was warm closer to cold. They meat was kind of dry, the chips and rice was unseasoned. Hummus was amazing, salad was great and fresh but overall experience 2/5 sorry.

I came here for dinner, I had excellent Palestinian/Lebanese food, good and cheap! A special mention for the dessert, the knafeh! Delicious, I could have eaten 10 more! The staff is super welcoming and ready to exchange a few cheerful and welcoming words! Highly recommended!

Amazing food! Portions are generous and everything tastes so delicious! I had a mix plate of cold and hot mezze…. The lamb was incredible! The service is friendly and polite! Very nice and calm atmosphere!

Artisan Lebanese ice cream and hot chocolate

Festok

I ordered the kunafa with pistachio ice cream and it was absolutely delicious. The portion was generous and enough for two people. The pistachios were very fresh, the service was fast, and the prices were reasonable. Overall, an excellent experience and definitely recommended!

Best rose ice cream I’ve ever had and top  2 pistachio flavour I’ve ever had (and I’ve had 50-100 pistachio ice creams around the world). The rose is pungent, fragrant and delicious without any bitterness. The owner explained that it’s due to the low air content of the ice creams. This place is amazing! Highly recommend.

Festok is hands-down one of the best ice cream spots in the area — if not the best.

I had the vanilla pistachio, and it was absolutely incredible. The texture was super smooth and creamy, and the pistachios on top added the perfect crunch and rich, nutty flavour. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients.

The shop itself is clean, modern, and welcoming. The staff were friendly and efficient, and the menu has plenty of unique flavours, including vegan options.

Highly recommend Festok if you’re looking for a top-notch gelato experience. I’ll definitely be back to try more flavours!

We stopped by Festok and tried their lovely ice cream and it did not disappoint! From the moment we walked in, the staff were very welcoming and created a warm, friendly atmosphere.

The ice cream itself was absolutely delicious rich in flavour and clearly made with quality ingredients. You can really taste the difference. Whether you’re a casual sweet tooth or a full-on ice cream fanatic, this place is definitely worth a visit.

Highly recommend Festok to anyone looking to treat themselves. Add it to your list it’s a hit!

Love love love their ice-cream and knafeh so much! The knafeh tastes very authentic and the ice-cream is incredible.
The only downside is if you go on a day that isn’t very busy, the knafeh will not be fresh and it will be heated up instead, which is a bit disappointing.
Otherwise, I highly recommend it!

Everything on our menu is suitable for a Halal diet.

Lebanese and Middle Eastern restaurants in London and the UK. Our menu has healthy & fresh Lebanese food with great vegan/vegetarian options.

Comptoir Libanais Liverpool Street

Really good food! There is a great selection of tapas and main courses, aswell as veg options like the aubergine tagine which was delicious. The servers are kind and its a really beautiful place to eat. It was a little loud with the music but overall absolutely amazing.

Lovely atmosphere outside. Rose and mint tea not as good as previous visits but Priyanka kindly replaced with a new pot. Great food as always. 4 stars as tea not great.

Amazing food, great atmosphere and they dealt with out big group amazingly.
Despite a mix up over pre-ordering the food they were able to accommodate 25 of us and got all of the food out at the same time.

I would definitely recommend!

I was really impressed with my experience at this Lebanese food chain! Despite being a commercial chain, the service was quick and efficient, which I appreciated. The food was fresh, tasty, and packed with authentic flavors. Every dish, from the mezze to the main courses, was delicious and clearly made with care. The ambiance was a standout as well—there’s a great mix of modern vibes with touches of traditional Lebanese folk decor, creating a cool, welcoming atmosphere. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a casual meal without compromising on quality. Highly recommend for anyone craving tasty Lebanese food!

Food is delicious and good value for money. It was very busy and loud inside but it is the festive period with lots of parties and groups. I will definitely visit again when not so busy.

The meat in all of our restaurants comes from approved and certified halal suppliers. All our restaurants hold alcohol licenses.

Comptoir Libanais

Rusto (Shawarma and Grill)

A great place to either eat or grab on the go, very competitively priced. They have seating indoors to seat between 5-10 people but I wouldn’t recommend it as it’s too congested. Staff are also very friendly:).

Highly recommend it.

had the chicken shawarma lunch box meal, and it was very good with a generous portion size. The staff were very polite and provided excellent customer service. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Rusto Restaurant in Slough! The food was delicious and authentically Lebanese — full of rich flavours and beautifully presented. What truly made our visit special, though, was the kindness and care shown by the person who prepared our meal. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, taking the time to explain the dishes and ensure we were happy. You could really feel the passion and love that went into the cooking.

It’s rare to come across such genuine hospitality these days — thank you Zain for making our meal so memorable. We’ll definitely be back soon and will recommend Rusto to all our friends and family!

First time visit to get lunch, purchased the Lunch Box for £4.99, Chicken 🐔 Shawarma with Rice 🍚, really enjoyed my meal and value for the money.

My favorite food takeaway is a fantastic spot that never fails to impress me. Despite their often busy hours, the staff always provides excellent service with a smile. They go out of their way to communicate clearly with me, ensuring that my order is accurate, which I truly appreciate as I am profoundly deaf.

Rusto

Nana Cafe

Lovely calamari for starter. The chips were nice and crispy, but the beef pattie in my cheeseburger was partially burnt so I couldn't eat that part. As a whole, I enjoyed my meal

Absolutely phenomenal! The burger was a masterpiece — perfectly toasted bun, juicy and tender patty, melted cheese oozing with flavour, and fresh, crisp lettuce for that perfect crunch. Every bite was a harmony of taste and texture. The fries were golden and crispy, paired beautifully with the dips. Presentation was on point — it looked as good as it tasted. Chef, you’ve truly turned a simple burger into an unforgettable experience!” 🍔✨

We were a party of 3 ladies. 2 who had become grandmothers and the other one was the babies great aunt (36, 51, 52) so we were out celebrating.
It was perfect.
We had the salmon, steak sandwich and steak, all served with the crispiest fries.
The steak was cooked to perfection.
We had a pitcher of Sangria and that was equally superb.
The place from outside looks so inviting.
Would be a great place to visit no matter the time of year.
We loved it so much. We will definitely be visiting again!

Had a lovely food experience, food was immaculate. Would definitely come again and recommend to other people to try out. Orlando my server was extremely kind and fast in delivering our order, funny guy as well.

Very good service. Good quality in food and drinks ☺️ management and staff are very friendly. Quick service and delicious food

Halal items are clearly marked on the menu. We serve alcohol.

Akoya

Went to restaurant recently for a Xmas work do, it was great on the terrace with the heaters on making us cozy. The cocktails were generous and the food was good. We had a good selection from a mixed grill to vegan  all went down a treat. Customer service was attentive. The restaurant is on the first floor so will have to climb stairs. Stairs also to access the bathrooms, be mindful.  Was it worth it -yes for food  beverages and ambience. We enjoyed ourselves. In the summer would be nice to visit with friends.

Very nice place i came to celebrate my cousin birthday and the staff was really nice. Great service. Great food. They made this evening very special thanks also to Alvero and Mohamed who gave us a great service. I would definitely come again to this place!!

My friends and me rented out a private room for a bridal shower. Room was beautiful and large (we had 11 people + baby). Food was delicious, with large portions. Staff was specatcular. Mai was so kind and smiley, top tier service. Muhammad the owner was so friendly, checked on us. Great and definitely would recommend for intimate occasions.

Good atmosphere, good food, and nice drinks. Hummus is top and a must try! Ahmed, Mohammed and May gave us a special treatment and made it even more special.

Had an amazing night here! Amazing food and drink and lovely service. Our server Mo was very sweet and ensured we had the best evening. Well priced too.

Restaurant & Shisha Lounge in the heart of Canary Wharf

COCO Canary Wharf - Restaurant & Lounge

Today, thirteen of us visited Coco in Canary Wharf for a team meal. This review reflects my personal experience as well as feedback from my colleagues. It is not intended as criticism, but as constructive feedback that we hope the owner will view positively.

Coco Mix Grill
I ordered the Coco Mix Grill, which included marinated chicken leg, lamb chop, chicken cubes (chicken shish), lamb kofte kebab and additional lamb chops, served with Coco’s sriracha sauce.
The lamb chops were excellent—very tender and full of flavour.
However, the chicken leg and chicken cubes were disappointing. They tasted quite ordinary, and I’ve had better mix grills elsewhere. Considering the price, the dish didn’t feel special enough.
That said, the presentation was outstanding—visually very impressive.

Kuro Prawns
The Kuro prawns looked stunning on the plate—colourful and beautifully presented.
* While the flavours were nice, at the end of the day it felt like fried prawns with decorative toppings.
* I did enjoy the dish, but I felt it was overpriced for what it was.
Strawberry Skyline
My favourite item of the evening.
* The drink was vibrant, refreshing and incredibly well presented.
* I would definitely return just for this drink, although again, the price felt high.
Sticky Mango Dessert
This dessert was visually beautiful and quite enjoyable overall.
* I loved the sticky rice with milk powder and the ice cream coated with mango pulp.
* My only disappointment was the mango slices, which were tangy rather than sweet. My colleagues all enjoyed their desserts as well.

Overall Feedback from the Group
As a group, we all agreed:
* Desserts and drinks were the highlight.
* Main dishes were just okay, nothing particularly special.
* We were disappointed by the 40+ minute wait for the food, especially given the price point.

Service & Atmosphere
The atmosphere was amazing stylish, modern and welcoming.The customer service was brilliant. The waiters were friendly, attentive and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.

Final Thoughts
We spent over £800, and considering the size of our group, we felt it would have been a nice gesture to receive something complimentary.
The location of the restaurant is fantastic, and there is so much potential. We truly hope the owner will consider reviewing the pricing and possibly improving the quality of the main dishes to match the high standard of the presentation and the desserts.

Thank you, and we genuinely hope our feedback helps make future experiences even better.

Had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The atmosphere is cozy, the food is absolutely delicious, and the attention to detail is impressive. I especially want to mention our waiter, Sabir & numan service was outstanding! Super polite, attentive, and completely professional. Everything arrived quickly and perfectly timed, and his recommendations were spot on. To be honest it’s rare to come across this level of service when someone doesn’t just do their job but truly makes your evening special. Huge thanks to the whole team for creating such a welcoming vibe, and a special shoutout to Sabir for his top-tier professionalism and kindness. We’ll definitely be coming back! 🙌🏼😍☺️

Absolutely amazing experience! The food is incredible — full of flavour and beautifully presented — and the shisha is top quality, smooth and long-lasting. The service is brilliant; the staff are super friendly and attentive, always making sure everything’s perfect. The atmosphere is great too, with nice music and a really good vibe throughout. Definitely one of the best shisha lounges and restaurants around — can’t wait to come back!

I had an amazing experience at COCO in Canary Wharf. From the moment we walked in, everything felt spotless and welcoming ! the place was absolutely clean and beautifully maintained. The service was truly five-star: attentive, friendly, and professional. We never felt like anything was missing, because everything we could possibly need was already taken care of.

It’s rare to find a restaurant where cleanliness, atmosphere, and service all come together so perfectly, but this one really exceeded my expectations. I left genuinely impressed and very happy with the whole experience. Definitely a place I would recommend to anyone visiting Canary Wharf!

Sabine Numan Rifat was a really amazing server made sure that we got the best service and made sure everything was up to perfection. All the servers are so polite and welcoming. The food presentation is amazing and the food has all different flavours and there is something for everyone. You don’t always haft to follow the menu and any questions they will answer and they are good with handling allergies. The decoration is perfect. 5/5 would definitely recommend coming here we come here for a birthday and they was more than welcome to celebrate it with us. Only thing that would be helpful is add more signs to find Coco.

Temple Lounge

Mezemiso

We had an incredible experience at this restaurant last night. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed. They were exceptionally friendly, attentive to every detail, and consistently checked in to make sure everything was perfect. The service was truly amazing .

The atmosphere was great, the food was delicious, and the overall experience was outstanding. A huge thank you to the wonderful team for making our visit so enjoyable.

It’s us pleasure to celebrate my birthday day with my friend at Mezemiso Restaurant,The food was delicious. The place is so beautiful the view is amazing. Staff are very friendly, and good customer service, nice music and performance. I feel very welcome there, I totally recommend it. Thank you Mezemiso team I really enjoyed it and I had a wonderful time.🤎

We were looking for a good restaurant to spend the evening, and we can say we didn't leave disappointed. We were greeted by a sweetheart, Ramona, who was incredibly kind and attentive to us. We enjoyed ourselves, but above all, had fun in a great atmosphere, with only excellent servers, including one in particular, Bassel, who made the experience even more enjoyable! He was cheerful, helpful, and attentive to ensure everything went well for us. He's also a very good dancer. We highly recommend the experience; you'll have a great time while having a great time. Thank you to these people for making it a great time!

Everything was next level of an experience. From start with being escorted in by Ramona to finish even escorting us out, we were completely satisfied. I was very pleased to say that my booking was accommodated and catered for in order to help celebrate my Husband’s birthday. He was definitely in shock and pleased.  The flavour of everything seasoning was a match with the aroma and taste. We ordered from the set menu and the starters alone were so filling. Thanks to all the staff who made the night one to remember. We shall come back.

The best rooftop with the best team!
We celebrated my birthday here and they truly made us feel at home, just like family.
The kunafah was absolutely delicious — and the view was simply spectacular.
I don’t remember the names of the guys and the girl, but congratulations to the whole team!
When I come back to London, I’ll definitely return here.

We are a Halal restaurant with halal meat on the Lebanese menu and seafood on the Japanese menu.

Bilhana Lebanese Deli

Platter for 2 cost £29.95 dine comes with 2 boneless chicken, 4 grill wings , chicken shawarma, chicken shish with fries & 2 can of drink. Presentation looks very good very decent portion. Taste & texture of chicken shish, shawarma, boneless chicken & grill wings perfectly blended with herbs & spice outstanding. All the grill item perfectly cooked complement well with fries. their chilli sauce was banging. They do excellent grill food best around this area. Staff are very friendly provided us excellent service.

Very bad food quality, everything tates very oily and bland. Ordered a shaktora donna only to find they didn’t put the actual shaktora but used mixed pickles instead. The donna looked more like 1 week old lamb curry, which was drenched in oil and very soggy. Their price is higher than other local shops. Waste of my money!!! Never going back there again.

I'm usually not a big fan of Chicken shawarma, but this place hits differently on this subject. I was genuinely pleasantly surprised by how good the chicken tasted - carefully cut, cooked at the correct temperature, and tasted tender and very succulent.

I also ordered the spicy rice, lamb shish and lamb kofte - to no surprise at all, these also tasted immaculate! I would highly recommend this place to local people and outsiders.

I was also greeted and served by a very polite and well-spoken gentleman who was very prompt with with my order and paid very close attention to exactly how I wanted to have my food prepared.

If you're looking for a nice spot for Lebanese food with fusion, this is the place to order from. Well done to Bilhana, they have aced the food here.

5/5 on all fronts from me!

Food is tastes great, is good quality and good value. They are generous with portion and don’t shy away from the sauce. Brilliant food spot and will come regularly.

Amazing food was absolutely delicious and very affordable Barakah Box for £15 absolutely worth it would highly recommend

All of our meat is 100% Halal. Please make your dietary requirements known to a member of staff before ordering.

Traditional and colourful dishes typical of Lebanese mezze

I've been working on an off around Oxford Street for nearly 8 years and I thought I knew of all the halal restaurants in the area. But I came across @alinelebanesekitchen just of Regent's St. Its a cosy little place that I thought was a new open, but it's actually been here for over 2 years. .

I tried a lot of dishes from the mezes menu, I tend to favour small plates rather than mains so here's what I got
.
🦐 Shrimp Spicy Shrimp £11.50 - sautéed shrimp in a spicy red garlic sauce was light and tasty
. 
Sujuk £8.5 - Wasn't the classic sausage that I'm used to, but meat balls in a tomato sauce .

Cauliflower £8.5 - I favourite dish of mine, when ever I see it on a menu I get it, slightly roasted and possible fried served with pomegranate and tahani sauce
. 
Hommus £7 - Not a dish I like normally, but i actually liked the one here, fresh and tasty.
. 
Sea Bass Tanjine £11.50 - a fish I've never tried before. Baked Seabass in a lemon tahani sauce with fried onions and pine nuts
. 
By this point I was happy but of course I have to try some of the meats and chicken. 🐔 🐑 Mixed Grill £21 - lamb shish, lamb kofa and chicken shish. I was impressed with the cooking of the lamb, first time I've had a lamb shish and its cooked medium, which means the lamb was tender, juicy and soft. The kofa was nice as well and chicken was just Okay. It was served with lovely long grain rice.
. 
Food was fresh and I enjoyed everything I ate. I was surprised that this place has been open for over 3 years, I've walked past it but never noticed it. All food is halal and obviously being central London alcohol is on the menu. Service was good, restaurant holds around 25 covers and every seat taken, just 2 waiting staff managed everything. The restaurant had a upmarket cafe vibe. My meal was complimentary. 
Food 7.5/10
Value 7/10
Service 7/10
Decor 7/10

@halalfoodguy's review of Aline Mayfair on Instagram

Aline Lebanese Kitchen

Lovely restaurant with nice atmosphere. The staff were attentive and quick. They have a nice menue. We ordered fattoush salad hummus and kafta grill platter, all were delicious. However if i may give one critique i would say that the salad that comes with kafta platter could be much improved.

We had a great dinner here. The welcome was warm and the whole place had a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. The food was excellent + I’d definitely recommend the hummus, moussaka, halloumi, king prawns, and the pumpkin kibbeh. Everything came out quickly and was full of flavour.

Even with a full house, our waiter (Ali) handled the whole room on his own and still managed to be thoughtful and attentive. Really solid service.

A very good experience overall, and worth a visit if you’re in the area.

Delicious food at this cosy restaurant just off Regents Street. We opted for the three course set Lebanese meal at £35 which was lovely - especially the range of hot and cold starters.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant! We stumbled upon this hidden gem in central London and it’s so low key yet amazing! Food was absolutely fresh, delicious, served quick and piping hot. Wait staff were attentive and super kind. Our waiter, Napoleon, was particularly superb. I would return over and over again as this restaurant was surprisingly awesome.

I really enjoyed this restaurant in London! The Lebanese cuisine was absolutely delicious — full of rich flavors and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was excellent. A special thank you to Manju for the great service — friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. Highly recommended!

Authentic Lebanese lunch food with a modern twist

Yalla Beirut, Lebanese Restaurant, Tower Hill

They’ve recently had a refit, and it works well. The lunchtime offer was good, with portion sizes spot on. It didn’t break the bank and no hidden charges on the menu either. The chicken was full of flavour and served with well-cooked rice. It was fairly busy, but the staff handled it all smoothly. I’ll definitely be back to try some other dishes.

Really enjoyed my visit here. The food was tasty, served hot, and didn’t disappoint. Service was smooth and the team was helpful and welcoming. Good atmosphere and worth every penny.

Had an amazing meal at Yalla Beirut! Tried their mixed grill, and it was absolutely delicious — juicy, flavorful, and perfectly grilled. The restaurant vibe was so cozy and comfortable, making it such a great place to relax and enjoy good food. I didn’t even get the chance to take any photos because everything looked (and tasted) too good to wait! Definitely highly recommended!

We have a lovely meal, one of the best service we had in London.
Thanks a lot to Sultan for the service and the valuable advice.
The food was delicious and served straight away.
You can keep the leftover.
I strongly recommend the baby chicken. This place is very friendly, i will recommend it to every person i know.
Thanks a lot to all the Crew of the Yalla Beirut.

Delicious, authentic Lebanese food with amazing customer service. Every dish was full of flavor, and the staff made us feel truly welcome. Highly recommend!

We serve a full Halal menu. No alcohol or pork served.

Baba Ghanouj

Service was excellent — thanks to Abed and Yasir.

The food was exceptionally delicious, with an authentic Mediterranean taste. Their garlic sauce is amazing, and the appetizers and grills were great 👍🏻

I would rate their Kobba 2/5 and wouldn’t order it again.

I was craving Shawarma, but it sells out around 7 pm almost every day! So if you want to try it, make sure to go before 7.

Food is nice and authentic here. Dish of the day is always freshly cooked and prepared everyday. Grills are so delicious also. This restaurant is a much if you like the authenticity of the Lebanese food. Customer service is amazing as well. Many thanks to Abo Karerm, the managers and others who work there. They provide immaculate customer service.

A taste of authentic Lebanese flavors 🇱🇧✨
From the freshness of the tabbouleh and the creaminess of the hummus, to the rich, tangy stuffed vine leaves and flavorful pickles, every bite tells a story of tradition and passion.
We also tried the shawarma, perfectly seasoned and tender, and the shish tawook — juicy, smoky, and simply divine!🔥
The restaurant’s cozy decor adds to the charm — classic Lebanese vibes with walls filled with old photos, iconic singers, and a warm atmosphere in every corner. A place that feels like a journey through Beirut’s golden days 🌿🎶

I cannot express how amazing this place is. I’m the biggggggest foodie and when it comes to Lebanese food, nothing compares, I live in NYC and nothing compares still. Do yourself  favor and order lamb kefta/spicy chicken/bab ganoush/ hot sauce home made / fatoush salad/ chicken liver/  I mean everything else’s amazing but those are my personal faves. I was in london for 24 hours for press and had no time for anything and made sure I ate there before I left. Period.

Food is very authentic here. Too many varieties to choose from. Food always fresh and piping hot.
Customer service is amazing as well. It makes the whole experience fantastic.

Thank you to manager Rabee and others who are working there for there sense of hospitality and amazing customer service.

Lebanese wraps in a modern space with pavement tables and patio heaters

Lazeez Lebanese Tapas

I recently tried the shakshuka here and it was absolutely amazing! The eggs were perfectly cooked, and the tomato-based sauce was rich, flavorful, and had just the right balance of spices. The presentation in the clay pot made it feel extra authentic and comforting. You can really taste the freshness of the ingredients. Definitely one of the best shakshukas I’ve had — a must-try for anyone who loves hearty, flavorful meals. Highly recommended! 👏🔥🥘

Stumbled upon this beautiful place, the vibe was there, the atmosphere was nice and decorative, and for me as always ( service ) the service was on point. Sat down with the owner and had a lovely conversation about family made the experience even more memorable. I say give them a try you won’t regret it.

I had a lovely experience at Lazeez! The food was incredibly fresh and flavorful — every bite felt homemade yet elevated. The hummus, mixed grill, and halloumi were absolute highlights.

The restaurant is small but very clean, and the atmosphere feels warm and welcoming. The staff were super kind, attentive, and professional — they made sure everything was perfect from start to finish.

I also loved the Turkish coffee at the end — a beautiful touch to close the meal.

If you’re looking for a cozy spot with great service, delicious Lebanese food, and a personal touch, Lazeez is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

Let me take you to lazeez tapas, right next to Selfridges in the heart of Central London.

From the vibes to the flavours, it’s the spot for your weekend Sheesha hangouts 💨

I tried the Grilled Chicken Taouk Platter, Lazeez Houmous, Falafels, Fattoush Salad, Baklawa & ended my dinner with Moroccan Tea 🍃🫖

Definitely one of my go-to Middle Eastern spots in the city! ✨

A wonderful experience, excellent Lebanese cuisine. Delicious lamb, fresh salads, tasty hummus. Attentive and fast service. We didn't have to wait for our food, which was prepared quickly and was of perfect quality and freshness.

All meat served is Halal. Alcohol Served.

The Legend Lebanese Restaurant Hounslow

Food was delicious and served quickly. Good value for money. The dips were amazing. The staff are friendly.

The food was absolutely amazing. It was all fresh and delicious. The staff were extremely generous, and they gave us a starter, desserts, and tea on the house. The atmosphere was very welcoming, and the servers made it so much better. We have been to many Lebanese restaurants, and this was definitely the best, and we will be back. Everything came at a relatively cheap price. Recommended.

I had an incredible dining experience at The Legend Lebanese Restaurant in Hounslow. I tried the kofta wrap, and it was absolutely delicious – flavourful and perfectly cooked. The service was amazing, with friendly staff who made sure I had everything I needed. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Lebanese cuisine!

Good customer service. However food was not great. It was overcooked or undercooked and very dry.  Salad bowl was also old and dry as well.

Toilets were unhygienic and lacked soap bar and soap liquid.

Food looks great when served though did nothing for the taste buds.

Popped in for a (very) late lunch , it was all amazing, halal and clean, had a plate of chicken, a bit of hummus and chips it all came to £10 including a drink.
New owner is a very good and chatty lad, will surely be back soon .

Yamal Alsham

Had the 2 person breakfast platter. Came with around 10 small plates plus freshly baked bread and tea, all for £45 including service charge. They use top quality ingredients, that's what sets them apart from other Lebanese/ Syrian restaurants in London. The olive oil was so flavourful it was literally drinkable. Looking forward to returning again.

We went out with friends to celebrate a birthday and had an amazing experience! We tried a wide variety of dishes—from starters (cold & hot) to desserts to mains, including the lamb shoulder with different types of rice—and everything was absolutely delicious. The food was flavourful, beautifully presented, and truly exceeded our expectations.

The staff and the owner were incredibly welcoming and friendly. They took great care of us throughout the evening, making the celebration feel extra special.

We visited on the recommendation of a well-known influencer (Mr, Farid) who’s popular in both London and the Middle East, and we’re so glad we did.

Highly recommended—thank you for such a wonderful evening!

The food was fresh, hot and tasty and the waiters were very attentive. It was a very quiet Sunday evening when we went on Father’s Day. The restaurant is lovely with calming and tranquil picture displays and the location in Chelsea is great. The only downside is that there were so many flies that kept landing in my red wine, I had to change my glass twice.

Got a wowcher..  and these guys turned us down even after booking an appointment citing reasons like the voucher is invalid.  Showing us some ATOL flag which showed as false while it has no relevance in the booking. Kept saying come after 6... absolute shambles..  it looks like a scam between Wowcher and this restaurant as I can see reviews dating past many years with the same issue... ridiculous bunch of people....

You buy a coupon on Wowcher.. these guys deny to serve you.. if you are lucky within 14 days of wowcher claim credit policies.  You will get a wowcher credit.. if not.. money lost.. wowcher calls it merchant issue and wash off the responsibilities... merchant doesn't stick to the advertized rules...

Ultimately, your money is gone..

The food here was just absolutely spectacular with such amazing  staff members. Our waiter Francisco was just lovely and offered to put our food in takeaway boxes as the meal was very filling. We also ordered baklava to take away as well. Slightly pricey but worth it for the experience and the service you’re getting.

Al Waha

The restaurant itself was cozy and comfortable, though nothing particularly special it seems.
What really stood out was the atmosphere and the staff – incredibly warm, friendly, and attentive. It felt very family-like and welcoming, which made the whole experience amazing.
The food was delicious with typical London prices. We went for the “tapas” option – 3 dishes for £25 – and it was such a great way to share and try different flavors. The desserts were also fantastic! Overall, a wonderful dining experience that I’d definitely recommend.

Always such a lovely experience. Second time here for a family meal. The mixed grill is amazing. The starters are always so fresh and spot on: we had kibbeh, arayes, hummus awarma. Our server Yasser was so hospitable and fun with us. He made amazing recommendations. Top tip: Get the bottle of Lebanese house red!!! We got glasses and regretted not going for the bottle as with Yasser’s recommendation. Also leave room for pudding. They gave us a little tray to go. Yummy!!!!! (Also: Wear elasticated bottoms)

Visited this gem of a restaurant for the first time last night. The food was simply delicious, such good vegetarian options, makes a nice change. I saw items never seen before in Lebanese restaurants in the UK. The grilled halloumi was so fresh and tasty, the best! What made it really special was the staff. Both gentleman who served me were friendly and attentive. One of whom served me a dish I hadn’t ordered, but let me have it complimentary with such kindness. Keep up the great work team, this is how you should run a local business!

We had a great experience at Al Waha. The food tasted amazing, and I especially recommend trying their wide range of starters there’s so much variety and everything we tried was full of flavour. The lamb stood out as a favourite for us, and I’d definitely suggest giving it a try. Another good shout out is the hummus, usually I’m not a big fan but this one was amazing I enjoyed it incredibly.

The staff were incredibly nice and welcoming, and their joyful attitude really added to the atmosphere. It’s always refreshing to see a team that genuinely enjoys what they do.

Overall, I definitely recommend giving this place a shot it’s worth the visit!

Had a lovely lunch here over the weekend.
We ordered some mezze (they have a deal that allows you to order 3 for 25£ which is excellent!) and a mixed grill.
All the food was very good and flavourful! Service polite and fast.
I would definitely recommend and visit again.

Al-Dar Lebanese Restaurant

Food was amazing,  Mr. Azra and Mr. Ali were so accommodating in providing fabulous service. They not only recommended what to order but also provided several free bees on the house. Great experience.  Highly recommended

Great food really- I came after ten years and it is still one of the best on edgeware road
service so quick and efficient and caring and delicious food. Sohail was one of the servers and he was gracious and so kind. We went to one of the chain ones the day before and the difference is striking . Thanks again

We had a lovely evening at Al-dar. We were served by Ali. He was amazing, so professional, friendly and very attentive. 10/10 service and food was fabulous. I’ll definitely be returning here again with my family! Thank you Ali for the service

The server was great with my youngest child. The juices were fresh and cold, and all the food was fantastic. The only minor downside was the server did forget our water but he was very busy. Overall a great lunch out with the kids

Loved, loved this place! We sat outside and had the meze for two was absolutely delicious. The lamb sambousek was a standout, the best I’ve had so far. We also enjoyed the double apple shisha. The staff were very sweet, and the whole vibe of enjoying Lebanese cuisine on Edgware Road made the experience even better. Highly recommend!

The owners of this restaurant are Muslim and have confirmed its halal status.

Al-Dar

Beit el Zaytoun

I was really disappointed with the service during my visit. We arrived about 15 minutes early, and the waiter seated us at a temporary table because the floor in the area we wanted (with the view) was still drying. I made it clear that we wanted our food served at the table with the view, and he agreed.

When the food arrived, he insisted we stay at the temporary table, even though the floor was already dry — I checked it myself. We moved our food to the other table, and the waiter clearly wasn’t happy about it. We came from far away specifically for the view, so this was frustrating.

What made the experience even worse was the lack of basic service. He didn’t bring plates, napkins, or cutlery with the food. My mom had to get up to grab a napkin herself, and only then did he say he would bring some to the table. The attitude felt rude and unprofessional from start to finish.

To top it all off, they added a 10% service charge — for service that was honestly below zero. The view was the only positive part of the visit, but the service completely overshadowed it. I won’t be returning, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone looking for decent Lebanese food.

I had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant for my friends baby shower today and it was incredible! The restaurant is so aesthetically please I visited on a gloomy day and the restaurant still bought the bright vibes I can only imagine how stunning this place is on a sunny day! The restaurant is very clean and the staff are incredibly polite the service was very pleasing they were kind attentive and very polite. Now for the food I literally couldn’t fault it I don’t know the names of the foods but the garlic potato’s and the fattoush tasted like they were from heaven everything was so warm and fresh and tasted delicious!! Can’t wait to revisit with friends and family again you won’t be dissapointed coming here! Thank you for such an amazing time and looking after us.

What an absolutely magical evening! We hosted our engagement party at Beit el Zaytoun and it exceeded every expectation we had. From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by the beautiful interiors and the warm, welcoming atmosphere.

The food was nothing short of spectacular - every single Lebanese dish was authentic, flavorful, and prepared to perfection. Our guests are still raving about the incredible spread and how everything tasted like it came straight from Lebanon. The quality and presentation were outstanding.

But what truly made our night unforgettable was Nadine, our event manager. She was absolutely amazing from start to finish! Nadine went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for making our celebration special was evident in everything she did. She anticipated our needs, handled everything seamlessly, and made us feel like we were her only priority that evening.

The indoor/outdoor seating created the perfect ambiance for our celebration, and the service throughout the evening was impeccable. Every member of the staff was attentive and friendly.

We cannot thank the entire team at Beit el Zaytoun enough for making our engagement party such a memorable and beautiful experience. This restaurant is truly a gem, and we'll definitely be back for future celebrations!

Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Lebanese cuisine and exceptional service for their special events.🤍

I’ve been here a few times, and it always delivers a warm and authentic Lebanese experience. The restaurant is spacious and comfortable, with a lovely terrace offering a nice view. The décor, music, and overall vibes really capture Lebanon…it feels like home away from home. Service is excellent; the staff are friendly, quick, engaging, and professional.

On my last visit, I tried the chicken shawarma Tabliye and the grilled chicken Tabliye, along with tabbouleh, cheese rolls, fresh juices, and ended with sticky toffee cake and ice cream. I also had shisha.

The grilled chicken Tabliye was outstanding! It was perfectly balanced with that delicious charcoal-grilled aftertaste. The shawarma was okay but a little dry, and unfortunately the tabbouleh was disappointing: too dry, lacking lemon and oil, and served in a small portion. The cheese rolls were tasty, the sticky toffee cake was better than expected, and the shisha was decent, though not the best out there.

Overall, it’s a great spot to pass by for authentic Lebanese food, good vibes, and even live entertainment on some nights. Prices are on the higher side, but the experience and atmosphere make it worth considering.

The breakfast was really nice with generous portions. My favorite was definitely the halloumi, which stood out the most. The seating area is also very pleasant, making it a great place to enjoy a meal.
