    Fairly expensive Lebanese restaurant with starters around £10-£13 each and mains around £25-£30+ each and minimum charge pp of £30. Food quality good, service good without being friendly. No discernible ambiance-. Surprised to see toilet and kitchen doors both open and close by in basement.

    The food was good, but the service ruined it. The staff were in a hurry to close up the restaurant and gave us the worst attitude, even though we were at fault for arriving a bit late to the time slot.

    WOW! Best Lebanese food I’ve ever had. Their hospitality was even better. They have a large menu to choose from and great selection of wine. Definitely will come back next time we are in London.

    The food and service are good and a great location but the noise level was too high. This could have been a one off, due to a group of men having a middle-aged lads night out.

    Worst restaurant in london. Horrible service. Rude waiter who felt he was doing us a favor by serving us. Pita bread was stale and hard as a rock. There are far better lebanese places in london. Avoid this like the plague. Hope it shuts down.

    We booked at table for 4 at 7:15 when we arrived nobody spoke to us for 10 minutes after which it became apparent the table was double booked. There were several preyed people in a similar situation. This was a great shame as every other time I have been the food and service have been fabulous but they let me down badly last night.
