Karaam Lebanese Restaurant in Ealing

Karaam Lebanese Catering recently catered my wedding and all I can say is 5 stars is not enough. From our first phone call Raef put me at ease with clear, concise information about their wedding menu and instilled me with confidence that they would deliver a top class catering experience. And they delivered! The food was fantastic, with some guests even admitting to having a third portion! Raef and his team went above and beyond on the day. They were attentive to the needs of our guests and especially to those with specific allergies so everyone was able to enjoy the meal. With leftovers Raef even took the initiative to source some disposable platters so the remaining food could be left for guests to enjoy later. Even more impressively was their almost ninja like set up and break down with limited space and minimal disruption.If you are looking for top quality Lebanese food with service to match I can't recommended Karaam enough!

Great tasting food. Reasonable priced.Update: It'd been a while since I had last visited here. The new (maybe always existing) name is Leila and it's really amazing. I'm upgrading my last review to 5 stars cause its completely worth it. The food is really outstanding and tastes fresh. Great service too.

I have eaten at Karaam several times now and can recommend their lunchtime menu as a nice alternative option. The service is always friendly, the food is good, the atmosphere very pleasant for a lunchtime natter and catch-up and all at a very affordable price. I particularly like the Lamb Shawarma Meal, which comes with a generous portion of lamb, two salads including fattoush, humous, falafel, a tasty little pastry and plenty of flat breads.

Fresh food, cosy environment and excellent service

Excellent food and service. We used a Groupon voucher and received a set menu of very well balanced and top quality food. We had considered what we liked beforehand and were given just about everything we liked. It was a delightful experience in a relaxed atmosphere.

Really good food, everything freshly made. We enjoyed the sharing platter for two (meat-mixed). Great value - simply couldn't finish. Lamb and chicken were juicy and had a lovely texture. Father in law enjoyed an Ocra dish - again lovely sized portions. Service friendly and allowed us plenty of time to chat between courses. Would definitely come again.

Tried out Karaam for the first time yesterday as a takeout. Was impressed with the quality of the food at a reasonable price. The lamb shawarma was delicious - meat had good texture and bite as well as flavour (unlike chewy stringy meat found in other well known eat outs).The chips were also great with nice cuts of potatoes. I was also impressed by the fact that you make your own authentic chilli sauce, which I've struggled to find in a few Lebanese restaurants in the past around West London.The only negative is that I was told 5 minutes for my takeaway over the phone, but took around 15 minutes longer when I arrived at the restaurant. Not a big deal, but with heavily restricted parking around Ealing, would have appreciated a more realistic time.However the manager I assume that dealt with my order was very friendly and polite.I will definitely be returning in the future to try out some of your other dishes!

First time I went to karaam was 4 years ago and I really didn't like the food. I am Lebanese myself and I know what certain things are meant to taste like.I thought I'd give it another go last week as it still hadn't shut down so I assumed it was doing something right... Unfortunately I was terribly wrong. Food was of the same low standard as it was 4 years ago. The Warak enab (vine leaves) had horrible stuffings. The chicken was dry and bland. The chicken portion was small. I wouldn't recommend it at all especially as there are lots of other lovely tasty restaurants around in Ealing. We ordered Fatayer and they came with Falafel instead. When we told them these aren't for us they didn't think to double check our order... We never did receive the Fatayer. At this late stage into our meal we didn't want them as we knew the standard of the food was very low so we decided to not have them at all. Stay far away!

Two waiters who had apparently started working there 3 days ago served us, both were confused that we wanted to order from the set menu. Starters were ok, main course was basically kebab meat with chips and some weakly marinated chicken with non descript rice. I would be surprised if what we ate was a true reflection of Lebanese cuisine, won't be going back in a hurry.

We called to reserve a table through tastecard and were told the restaurant was fully booked.. fair enough. We still went at the requested time and surprise surprise we got a seat straight away. And there were other available tables too..We ordered quickly and our starters were served within a few mins and our mains while we were still eating our starters.Half way through the meal we had to remind the waiter about our drinks.I have visited this place in the past and I can honestly say that standards have slipped. A lot! I don't think I will return.
