Jandol Lebanese Restaurant

I went to Jandol to have some of the well reviewed baklava. I got some of the pistachio ones and the birds nest ones in a takeaway plate. As soon as I took the first bite, I realised it was stale. It tasted as though the oil used for making it went rancid. I tried a bite from each of the different kinds and all of them tasted the same. I had to throw the entire plate sadly. I definitely wouldn’t recommend the baklava. Not sure what the rest of the food there tastes like.

We decided to pop in for a late night snack and we ended trying lots of nice food and some sweets. We shared some delicious grilled halloumi, a Greek salad (which was huge) delicious Lebanese flat bread, hummus topped with shredded lamb. My boyfriend had the lamb flat bread but was so big we brought it home. We had to try some baklava and some Turkish delight. Both were delicious especially the pistachio baklava. we had a double espresso too which was lovely. All in all lovely service! Nice to eat local and try something new 🍯🍽🧆

We went to @jandolbaklavapastries to enjoy ourselves some Lebanese food cos who doesn’t like this! And we walked away having enjoyed the food and the most memorable was the Honey Cake - can we just say, if you haven’t tried this, you need to go!

Even after a full meal, we both happily inhaled this…layers of sponge covered in cream with a sweet honey touch - not too sweet and completely perfect
Not forgetting the Baklava too with 20 years of perfection by this family-run restaurant - a wide variety and there’s one which had a cinnamon kick that we went mmmmmm too. We don’t usually like cinnamon flavoured items but we’ll happily take this again

On the savoury side, the Mix Mezza was a winner for us - a little bit of everything and tasty all round

Visited with a friend who wanted to try some Lebanese food. The decorations and atmosphere in the place is good but the place is a bit expensive for what it is. On top of prices, they charge service charges where the service is not professionally dressed or anything. I ordered the chargrilled sausage as a starter and Kofta Kebab wrap as the main. The taste was similar to what you can find in any other middle eastern restaurant. I paid £18 for both of these, which, I believe, is a bit too excessive. I think smaller takeaways will be more authentic and better value for money.

This isn't a review of the food, service or atmosphere - it isn't possible to review any of these things as the place is very much closed down. Or at least it appeared to be as of the date of this review (shutters down and for sale sign up at 6pm). This is despite it still being possible to submit a booking on their website, and Google insisting it's open. Be warned - if you book a table and turn up expecting baklava (or, indeed, anything) you will be disappointed!
