  • "Really great food, staff were very friendly. The hummus, baba ganoush, Lebanese bread, and halloumi sticks were all so fresh and tasty."
  • "We ordered a selection of mezze dishes between two of us. Particularly enjoyed the baba ganoush, merguez, and the bread was so fresh and pillowy."
  • "We had falafel for starter, I had shish touk and my partner had mixed grill for mains. They were both very filling and tasty!"
  • "Food is halal. For starters we got the mixed meze, it was really good and nice to try some meze items."

Cons:

  • "For someone who's Lebanese, this place truly lacks. More similar to an average Turkish restaurant than authentic Lebanese food."
  • "The lamb shank was cooked very well but lacked flavour."
  • "The portions are minuscule and the food is nothing special- not much flavour and standard quality."
  • "The food was appalling. The portions were tiny even for tapas style dishes, and very expensive for what was served."
  • "The shish touk was quite dry. More like a chicken tikka really."
  • "I ordered the grilled prawns from deliveroo, and when it arrived, I immediately recognised something off about the prawns, after eating one I began to realise they were overcooked."

Ambience and Decor

Pros:

  • "The decorations by Saddia were amazing."
  • "Love the vibe and decor of this place! Quick service and staff were very attentive!"
  • "The decor is perfect for those Instagram photos and the restaurant also plays music which adds to the atmosphere."

  • "Beautiful setting, delicious food and great atomosphere."
  • "The restaurant was beautifully decorated with lights and jungle themed, even the toilets were fab!"

Cons:

  • "The restaurant seems new and well renovated and the menu is not too extensive (which is good) with some good options!"
  • "Didn't like the narrow corridor like seating area though."
  • "Service & Environment: Cozy and stylish interior design. Not Sufficient Covid-19 measurements in place."
  • "This however was spoiled slightly by the overly dim lighting, making it very difficult to read the menu and music that belongs in a nightclub for teenagers."
  • "Don't be fooled (as I was) by pictures of a courtyard garden and promise of outdoor dining, unless you are happy to sit at a table on the busy pavement."
  • "Did also request to be seated away from the speakers, but this didn't happen (eventually the music lowered so it wasn't too bad)."
