"Lived in the middle East for 13 years and this shawarma & fattoush is on point!"
"The Lebanese food is freshly prepared with care, tastes delicious, is good for you & perfect to eat in the fair weather."
"The food is really fresh - you can tell the salad hasn't been chopped and sitting around for ages, the spinach parcels have fresh tasting homemade filling."
Cons:
"Arrived in stated time but was COLD."
"Unfortunately both my wife and I had upset stomachs later that evening and the next day. I am not sure if this was due to chicken not being fresh."
"The food tasted good, however the portion side is ridiculously small."
"It tasted microwaved and stale."
"Food delivery. £12.50 Bammieh B’zeit came ice cold and tasted like a tin of chopped tomatoes, like they had forgotten to warm up a portion of refrigerated sauce."
"The lamb dish we ordered came as shavings of shawarma. Very disappointed."
"Driest chicken I've ever seen, had to throw half the wrap away it was so dry."
Service

Cons:
"Used to be good but recently been very bad service."
"Food arrived 2 hours late. Kept calling them and was told any moment now!"
"The food may be nice but the attitude of the staff is awful, the owners/managers are polite to your face but often change to speak their native tongue to talk Ill of others."
"Food, service and staff are amazing, one of the best restaurants in Walthamstow you should visit and try the shawarma, fattoush and homous."
"A refund wasn’t possible at the time so forced to wait another 25-30 min for a follow up meal, not hugely better in quality."
"Lunch Service on a thursday was slow. I had to remind the waiter twice about the tea."
"Waited over 2 hours for the take away delivery. The main arrived cold."

"The portions are big, price is good."
Cons:
"The order took 1hr and 20 min to arrive and when it did it was stone cold."
"Ordered just now and was very disappointed by the size of the wraps - they were very small and by the time they arrived they were cold."
"Nice place but I asked for a milkshake and checked with the staff if it was fresh and they said yes. I ordered one and what I got was clearly a bottle of friji or some other brand, poured into a cup."
"Probably this is first ever and I hope last I've seen £14 for one kebab and 4 pieces of meat and tinny bowl of rice that's that's joke."
"Completely overpriced, no care given to the food prep at all."
"AVOID AT ALL COST! Ordered the lamb sharwama wrap. Meat was absolutely vile. Full of fat and tasteless."
"Also ordered mixed grilled for £14 and received 2 small dry cubes of tasteless lamb, minced lamb was dry and hard, chicken was OK, all cold."
