Halal Reviews for Beit el Zaytoun Harlesden

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.🤍

This has to be one of the best Lebanese restaurants in London. I went with my wife, we had Sambusek lahma (fried pastry with spiced meat inside) and Soujouk (spiced sausages submerged in a nice tomato and lemon sauce) for starters and then shared one of the dishes listed under the home kitchen section on the menu: Kibbeh bil Laban, amazing plate with rice, yogurt, pine nuts and the “Kibbeh” (minced beef, deep fried inside bulgur wheat oval shaped pieces). Delicious, this is made the proper way (I have tried Kibbeh elsewhere, and this is the way). The fresh juices deserve a special mention too, I had Melon and my wife Pineapple and they were delicious. I specially found the Melon one to be exceptionally good. I will definitely come back and will recommend this to all my friends.

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.

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.

I visited Beit el Zaytoun on a Thursday afternoon and left feeling completely let down. I’ve been to this place twice before a few years ago and had decent experiences, but sadly, their standards have seriously gone downhill. My husband ordered the lamb meshwi with rice, his meal arrived cold, and the salad and vegetables looked old and unappetising. The rice was ice cold, and the only thing he could eat was the meat. I ordered the falafel wrap, which tasted stale and far from fresh. The hummus tasted like it came straight from a supermarket tub, and the coleslaw didn’t taste homemade at all. The only decent part of our meals was the fries. To make matters worse, the customer service was shockingly bad the staff seemed bothered every time we asked for something. When we told them we were dissatisfied at the end, there was zero effort to apologise or make things right. I won’t be returning, and I honestly wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone looking for quality Lebanese food. If you’re just after shisha and a nice-looking setting, maybe it’s passable but for actual food and service, it’s a big no from me. On top of that they are also extremely dishonest. I calculated what we ordered and they added an extra £5.00 to our bill without our consent. They just brought the card machine and offered no receipt. We ordered the: Kibbeh £8.50 Falafel wrap meal £15.95 Lahem Meshwi £20.00 Still water bottle £2.50 1 soft drink £3.00 The total should've amounted to £49.95. I check my bank statement and I was charged £54.95 so they had the audacity to add an extra £5 to the bill for what reason. This is a dishonest establishment will definitely never visit this place again.
