everything was delicious 👍 the appraisers came fast and the main course was hot and delicious 👌 although i felt it was a lil expensive but worth it

Worst restaurant ever felt like they gave me alcohol in my water , coke cans cost a £5 per glass. the bloody service was atrocious. the food serving was for a 2 year toddler , the steak was for a baby to chew on, saw a knife with that creepy guys pocket who wears a black shirt and has a moustache l. and they were drinking alcohol on the job. and they served extra charge like whaaaaaaat????? it’s too overpriced and i hate them so much IV HAD ENOUGHHHH we got dirty looks when we walked into the restaurant talk about CLASSIST i’m sorry but never again and i most definitely wouldnt even give 1 star if i could not even 0, and they were talking about us in their own language i’m sorry but so disrespectful and not something u would want especially when you pay THAT MUCH.

Food was meh, but the hummus… omg that hummus. it opened my third eye. That hummus has changed my life. I can see, smell and hear things I couldn’t before. I would marry that hummus. It was the lengest thing I have ever put in my mouth, I’ll be coming back for more. It’s the aubergine hummus btw. also the staff r a bunch of legends for serving me after closing time, thanks guys muah 💋

Excellent! Food 10/10. Service 10/10. Great atmosphere and very clean!! Option for seating outside if you want shisha and/or tea with heaters! Definitely recommend - humous, fattoush salad, tabbouleh salad and the falafel for starters. For mains, recommend shish tawouk and the al sultan mixed grill both exceptionally good - you don’t get rice or chips with them so you have to order separately. Portion of main meals is pretty good.

Got the Al-Sultan Grill, Morrocan Mint tea and peach shisha, 10/10 would definitely return! & service was fast

I can’t comment on the food because I wasn’t even allowed to try it. We went in tired and starving at 10 PM for some halal food. Was pretty expensive so we just wanted some starters which would total £20+. The restaurant was pretty empty. The waiter taking our order proceeded to tell us that we needed to reach a minimum order of £25. Our food did reach that amount. Then he said that it needed to be 10 starters or 5 main course meals, which would total £100+ and said they ‘weren’t a cafe’. We just wanted a late night appetiser. Feels surreal for such blatant prejudice in this day and age, seems like a subtle way to deny service to those with less money. Terrible.

Great experience. Friendly staff and the food is delicious. I would definitely come back. It it more on the casual side and I would most definitely recommended trying Lebanese wine while there

Shisha is great, food is average. The place is extremely over priced and we discovered that the service charge is not distributed to staff if you pay it by card which is very unfortunate as they work hard.

Had dinner here followed by dessert. The decor in the restaurant was beautiful. The service was great and the restaurant looked spotless!The first thing that let me down was that instead of bringing some complementary little snacks and dips (as most Lebanese restaurants do) we were given a bowl of this weird looking unprepared salad followed by some olives. They present every diner with a bowl comprising of a whole lettuce, whole tomatoes and peppers - it’s really bizarre to say the least.The food was a huge let down for us. Being a fan of Middle Eastern food, I expected something far better. The Chicken Meshwi arrived just about warm - nowhere near hot and was a little on the dry side. The sauces that accompanied it weren’t great either and the bread was not warm and certainly did not at all taste fresh. I’ve had far better Levantine food for a fraction of the price elsewhere. The dessert of Kunafa was however enjoyable and we were given a very generous portion. The Arabic coffee was also good.

It's Only a 5-7 min walk to green park underground station,It's also situated in the quiet roads of a busy area and is very nice to walk around after dark.In regards to the actual restaurant, customer service and food was good and interior is very nice, however the menu was very costly (I guess that's what you'll get from Mayfair?) A glass of coke itself came to £4.50.Between 2 people, a very light meal consisting of a main, two starters and coke set us back £50.Peace out.
