Food is very average. I had the chicken shawarma wrap, and side of hummus. It just didn't have a whole lot of flavor and didn't meet my expectations.. I would recommend trying elsewhere.

Authentic and delicious middle eastern food! We had the fool, shish tawook (tender and done very nicely), and middle eastern salad. They brought us complimentary baklava after that was amazing. Nice wait staff too. Hidden gem on Queensway.

I'm surprised that only 3 people have previously offered their review, the place is a gem (might explain why it's being kept a secret)!  If you're looking for great tasting Mediterranean food then this Lebanese restaurant is a top choice!  The feast we had was beyond delicious, despite the hefty portions, and a very full stomach we couldn't stop our taste buds desiring more and more of their amazing food!!!!

Healthy food with vegetarian options. The mix grill with the mixed salad were the perfect meal! Loved the coffee options including the Turkish coffee and cappuccino. The staff was super friendly and enjoyed a comfortable atmosphere.

Excellent. We just finished lunch there, and we found the food delicious. It is some of the best to be found anywhere.

While we were there we saw many people in the neighborhood picking up take away orders, as well.

To top off the food, the service is wonderful. We spoke with the owner, and he was very attentive to dietary requests, and he was genuinely interested in us having a great dining experience.

Highly recommended.

The food was outstanding. I had Lamb Kebab, my wife had Lamb Shwarma, and my son had grilled Seabass. Best Hummus ever! Lebanese wine was great as well. The service was great as well.

This review is almost a year late. My wife and I went to London for our honeymoon in May of 2019. One night, after a long day of being tourist, we walked a couple of blocks over from our hotel and found this place. We stopped to see what was on the menu when a gentleman sitting outside with a group of friends told us to order anything on the menu &, if we didn't like it, it was on him. Well, we ordered our dinner (can't remember exactly what, since it was almost a year ago). I saw a dessert-looking fish & asked if that was Umm Ali. They were surprised I could even pronounce it, much less know what it is. As they were bagging up our order, another gentleman walked up to the staff, pointed at my wife & I and whispered something to they. I thought we were in trouble. Until the staff bagged up & handed us our order. They had loaded ALL KINDS of terrific extras in our bags. Samples of LOTS of dinner items AND desserts just filled our bags. We enjoyed every last morsel. We even brought home the plastic containers the food came in and use them to pack our daily lunches for work. THIS experience made the Bayswater District feel like a second home for us for the rest of our stay. For a couple of regular folks from Central California to be treated in such an EXCELLENT manner so far from home was more than anything we could have asked for. We LOVE this place and, Lord willing, we will one day return and enjoy another dinner there!!! We cannot recommend this place enough. Oh, for y'all that live in London, the Bayswater/Queensway area is a food destination y'all are missing out on. Get there and enjoy!!!

Average tasting Mediterranean food. Standard menu of options to choose from. Staff is friendly and quick with service.

very bad food. chewy and undercooked kebabs, rock hard and tasteless lamb tikka. the staff was very disrespectful, when we complained about our food the manager immediately started talking about how we have to pay either way, when we had no intention of not paying. he had no interest in what we had to say as customers to help the restaurant in the future. do not recommend.
