"My husband and I were disappointed to find out that our favorite Pasta Restaurant had closed, so we were in search of a new dining spot for our Theatre Visits to the Park Theatre. Since we enjoy Lebanese food, we decided to try out My Cottage Restaurant. We arrived a bit early due to lighter-than-expected traffic and were greeted somewhat indifferently. The restaurant was narrow and deep, with slightly worn furniture and fittings. The table was sticky and the cutlery and crockery had water stains. We ordered apple juice with mint and a bottle of sparkling water, which turned out to be a small 330ml bottle of Perrier Water. For starters, we had Potato Harra and Makdous, followed by Qormeh Sabzi and Lahm Mashwi. To our surprise, the main courses arrived before the starters. The Potato Harra was flavorful, but the Qormeh Sabzi was disappointing and lacked seasoning. The Aubergine and Lamb were also underwhelming. The baklawa for dessert was tasty and well-baked. When we asked for the bill, we were informed that their card machine was not working, so we had to pay with cash. Overall, the restaurant was quirky and tired, with mediocre food and service. We felt like we were an inconvenience to the staff. While the meal was not cheap at £85, it did not meet the standards of other Lebanese restaurants in London. It is unlikely that we will be returning to this restaurant."

"lokkanta serves Turkish food, but more along the street food sorte. do not misunderstand what they do, they do quite well, but do not even expect a chic Turkish meal here. what is available is similar to what they can see on a Lebanese menu with different names and spicy. they do a lot of grilled meat and donators (think shawarma) we got a plate of meze hummus, a yogurt dip, tomato-based salsa and some well maintained sweet salad with thin strips of lavender as brot free while we waited for our food. the lammbarsch was a beautiful, mildly flavored meat in a beautiful crumb outside the bakery pack. think about it as a cross between a samosa and an early role. for the net I ordered the lamm iskander kebab doner / shawarma slices lamb on a bed of crisp fried brot squares with tomato sauce and beautiful thick yogurt and a side offer of garlic sauce and her clobular chili sauce. bruder ordered the lamming aprons that came with a small side salad on a bed of larger korn cousin. he loved the aromen. I ordered Turkish tee, which served as only black tee (no minze, no apple taste only in a traditional Turkish shaped tea glass) bruder had the ayran (yoghurt drink), which was prepacked, but he found it very refreshing. service was very sweet and friendly. the staff always smiled slightly. they know the menu and can help them meet a choice when they need it. we were quite filled with this meal, but had to end with baklava. their baked layers are much thinner than most baklava, which I have tried in this city almost filmy, not too too too zucker. Personally, I like a bit more crunchy of the nuts in my baklava, but that was a more refined version and therefore the nuts were really finely crushed. we also have 2 pieces lokum (Turkish joy) free with our bill and it was so good that next time I order the lokum instead of the baklava."
