My job, is to recommend the best to our Guests, I am the head concierge for one of the best 5* hotels in London as well as very adventurous on trying different cuisines,
I went with one of my friends last Wednesday, to have a dinner.
As we were looking at the displayed menu on the outside, The Restaurant? door was opened by a smiling hostess who, asked us if we have tried Lebanese food before, to cut it short, we walked inside ?r
The first thing we noticed, was the lovely smell of the burning incense at the door, The restaurant was more of a full House considering it was Wednesday, a cold February evening.
The décor is so much relaxing and cosy, Egyptian, Moroccan, or Lebanese, I asked the waiter; the owner toured the Middle East and North Africa and brought all what you see from all over the place Sir...
We left it to the waiter? recommendations to order the starters, cleverly we were asked about any preference of vegetarian or nuts allergy we may have?r
We had 6 different mezzas, including ?Tabouleh? Kebbeh, Home made pastries and really amazing delicious Falafel, which I never tasted as such since my visit to Israel some time ago.
We chose the main course ourselves, I had the king prawns (They were more of three lobsters) than prawns, my colleges had the mixed grill.
We both looked at each other and wished we never had lunch that day, as the food was too much to finish.
We had to have the, mint tea to help us getting up?t came with some lovely tiny pieces of Baklava, that apparently got ?flown into London from Syria especially for Joury every week?, according to the waiter?You can not get this quality of Baklava in London Sir?, I must say, Even though we were so full, We could not resist,, it was a amazing.
We stayed to finish the football game that was showing on the large screen,
It was our ?London club??
The bill came to £61.00, in my honest opinion for what all of what we had,
I would highly recommend this restaurant to every one of my Guests

I have been to Lebanese restaurants before, in London, but never to such a relaxing and friendly place like this place, The vine leaves, the baby chicken and the truly home made baklawa together with the mint tea, and to finish it off a smoky shisha, made our visit to London a must that we will tell our friends about..

The food delicious, the service excellent, the comfy seats were great. A great place to have lunch after shopping down the hectic Oxford street and relax for a few hours
