Comptoir Libanais Spinningfields

TLDR: Had the most wonderful time at Comptoir Libanais. Really impressed overall with the vibes, staff + food. I was there celebrating a birthday, and there was excellent service throughout, the food came out hot and fresh, and it was amazing. I even planned a little surprise birthday cake to come out, and it was executed perfectly. BIG shout out to Parker who sang Happy Birthday in the best way possible! ✨ Food: Highly recommend the mixed grill, if not, then the falafel wrap is a must. Alongside the main meal, a mezze sharing platter is a must (Baba ghanoush from here is my ultimate favourite). Baklava was lovely for a dessert (more on the very sweet side), but I think the mint tea stood out to me as a nice end to the meal. Staff: Lovely staff! Again, massive shoutout to Parker, who was attentive, made great recommendations, explained things nicely and had a key attention to detail when bringing out the surprise cake. The other staff that came over were just as attentive and friendly which was impressive. Price: I think for some, prices can seem a little higher than normal, however, I think for the portion size, the freshness that you get + the service, the price seems worth it. I would definitely pay again but only for a little celebration or a treat (if I can control myself and not go back again next week!). Atmosphere: This is often overlooked but I think the venue of the restaurant is gorgeous. Absolutely stunning details, relating to the culture + heritage behind the restaurant and the food they serve. Really pretty for the aesthetic shots people want and love to take, and it never felt too overwhelming or rushed. Lovely.
