"For months, I was hearing from friends about a sister restaurant of Beirut Express on Brompton (one of my regular favorites . Finally, on 05JUL19, three of my compatriots and I wended our way up to High Street from our hotel and were so pleased to find this wonderful space with the same delicious food and service.Over the last couple of years, I have had their shwarma, kabobs, hummus, olives, and a number of other items from the menu. (Treat yourself to a side order of their French fries! My favorite by far is #55 Farrouj Meshwi or Boneless Baby Chicken. Always flavorful and succulent, I’ve never found it like this anywhere else in the world!The highlight of our visit was our server, Christian. He was attentive, friendly, and generous, with a warm, wonderful smile. I’m in London once every month and this will be my go-to place."

"bakchich was an excellent culinary experience with a unique Lebanese cuisine that is so rare to see in the food scene of the city. with generous portioning and especially helpful staff I am happy to eat here again. Although the menu for people who were not familiar with the names and jargon was easy to interpret, the employees were more than happy to show which meal my preferences fulfilled. I forgot to mention my allergies on sweet and sesame seeds, as we were distracted with the birthday of my friend, and when that came, I saw my slender hühnerburger, who was covered in sesame seeds. my mistake to recognize, I asked the staff to change the burger, but our server came by and said he would be more convenient to use with a new court to prevent any danger of contamination. I was very pleased with the consideration of the employees of their customers. with regard to the design of the restaurant, the decoration was impressive and felt very authentic, which added the Lebanese experience. the personal even played happy birthday on request for my friend, and the whole restaurant sang along wished him well. Overall, bakchich is a restaurant that I highly recommend to try the people, even once. the staff is very much trying to ensure a fun time for their customers and eating is worth for its noticeable taste of great. will be back soon."

"Unfortunately, this 1-star review is based on the fact that we didn't actually get to try the food. Booked online for lunch time and received confirmation email. Turned up a bit before booking time but after restaurant was supposed to be open. It wasn't. Door was closed and locked (there was a confused looking delivery driver waiting outside too who eventually gave up and left). While waiting, several apparent staff members turned up and had to bang on a side door to be let in, all pointedly not acknowledging our presence waiting outside the main door. Booking time arrived. Still closed and locked (and looking through window they didn't look like they were close to opening). Tried knocking. No answer. Tried phoning. No answer. Not even to apologise for running late. Booking time came and went. We gave up and left. If the website allows a time to be booked, and I book a specific time then I expect the restaurant to BE OPEN AND READY BY THAT TIME. And since this cost a long train ride into London, its not something I will risk again."

"what a unique foundation we found here in durham. we visited shaheens at a cold and rainy night. a part of the block lost that makes early in the day; yet, shaheen is enduring and remained open. at the arrival we were greeted by Adam. as it turns out, this is a family-run restaurant, and adam is the son of the greender bob. but it felt more like being with the family (thanks to a restaurant where they cared for them and make sure they are completely abandoned and satisfied. eating was solid and proved a warm passion for the delivery of family recipes. we tried several articles from the starters to the specificities and sides of baltic shaheen. spice was well managed and delivered on the basis of their requests. and even the Spicier options were well controlled. for beginners we have tried the fried tweezers (bloods, india style, mushrooms and garlic, and a lambkabob. the kabob was by far our favorite. we then tried the black meal (a secret menu item). it was a solid surprise. for the net we both enjoyed the chiken tika (mild and spicy). it was strong in taste and filling. this was connected by brown basmati rice and garlic naan. all in all, worth a trip and a place we go back to. remember it as more house style where the family that operates the establishment welcomes them and cares for them. prost, shaheens."

"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."

"Didn't know what to expect walking into this Lebanese restaurant, but was genuinely surprised. They offer a classic Lebanese menu that delivers on both quality and value. Interestingly, they also serve a Full English Breakfast—quite unique for the area—and the sausages are notably good. The drink options are solid, with a beer and wine list that nicely complements the food. Service is friendly and attentive without being overbearing. They seem to value repeat customers, which is always a good sign. Will consider returning."

"I talked to the woman here, first impressions. a nice and cozy little restaurant, pretty busy on a Friday night due to takeaways, the meant service was a fantastic slow! tee was beautiful like the fresh orange, the main event. yes we enjoyed the mixed grill, all meat was delicious, like the rice and salat! what I would say is that the food was worth the money, but it must be more of it, as the lamb pieces were a ted on the small side and it could do with the addition of lamb sawarma! I had to fill myself with chips to feel like I had something essential to eat and that's just a waste of bauchraum imo lol! would I go back, I would go back and see what other food day had in the offer"

"If anyone want the latest review of this restaurant then I’m giving you it to you today. We have been going to this restaurant over 10 years but sadly the quality of food , the portion size , the service was the worst I have seen. Their standard have fallen below dramatically. The portion for forouj was the tiniest I have even come across which was also very hard and nerdy charcoaled. The tajine dish contained one tiny piece of lamb and even that was covered in boiled vegs and soup in it was so watery. The whole experience was awful. The last time when we went there we promised ourselves not to return back. Sadly we fell into “let’s give it another try “ trap. And we sadly we got caught in it. Rude service. Very facety waiters who didn’t understand why I was complaining about the size of the chicken or why I was asking if he can swap the my tagline watery dish. £65 !!! For the most awful meal ever. Guys do not , DO NOT go there."

"Open late! Never fails me for a great end-of-the-night kebab. Have not ventured much beyond this and the hummus/other dips/tabouleh/halloumi which is all standard fare for this chain, but of those things none are ever a let down and the portions are extremely generous. Great juice as well, always friendly staff and wickedly tangy garlic sauce. The menu is actually quite substantial and they have a number of dishes which you don't see in every Lebanese establishment. Have yet to try, but they sound tempting."

"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."

"The distinctive exterior gives an impression of authenticity and ambition. I never eat out these days as I’m invariably disappointed but thought I’d take a punt, just on that exterior. I can handle an alcohol free dining experience but what was on offer, drink-wise was uninspiring. I went to ‘lemon juice’ and my partner went for ‘carrot juice’. Surely it couldn’t just be lemon juice, carrot juice but it was; no frills, bog standard glassware. I imagine they prepare all their dishes in plastic takeaway tubs. A portion of meat, some veg and then rice. This makes them easy to store and reheat with portion control sorted. But to reheat it and present it on a plate still in the shape of an upturned takeaway tub wasn’t visually the most inspirational approach. Too much rice, too little flavour, too little value."

"We initially had a reservation for afternoon tea but decided to switch to the regular menu instead. The staff appeared to have no issue with this change. However, during this visit, we encountered a significant problem; we were told it would be classified as a no-show and that we would be charged for it. Earlier in the week, I had also called to reserve a table for afternoon tea at 1:30 PM, but I was told to arrive at 12 PM because the 1:30 slot was unavailable. We ended up staying until 2:40 PM, so it was clear there was no need for us to change our reservation. Additionally, our table was not properly cleaned, and we ended up ordering food via the app after our afternoon tea because we did not receive any service during our visit."

"Stumbled upon a fun Lebanese restaurant in Earl’s Court. Dinner was delicious, hosts were most welcoming and kind. Had three mezze: stuffed grape leaves; spicy potatoes; and makdous—baby aubergines stuffed with red peppers, walnuts and crushed garlic, pickled in extra virgin olive oil. Our mains were lamb shawarma and marinated king prawns. Chef’s complimentary baklava to end on a sweet note. A lot of great food (we ended up taking some home) at very reasonable prices."
"the best libanese I tried. it has become my kryptonite at the evenings that I do not want obbr/>cook. The huh shawarma is slightly dry, so I recommend the baby huh with rice, the rice is amazing, like the brot, and the halloumi brot, and the flafel, and the garlic sauce. it's all amazing (and it's not too hard on her wallet.) In the did. that write about it made me hungry, something tells me that it's Lebanese tonight."

"Eaten here a few times and it just seems to even better. Seen a review saying this could be the best Middle Eastern restaurant in South Manchester and I wouldn’t disagree. The food is exemplary, staff are nice and depending when you go it varies from chilled quieter in the week to busy at weekends. It’s BYO drinks so if you’ve arrived not realising you can nip round the corner to Sainsbury’s local which is a few metres away. Food pics may not do it justice but it’s a classic meze choice of starters from humous dips, breads, baba ghanoush etc, mains are a great selection and desserts are classic Middle Eastern home cooked, the baklava is highly recommended. Vegetarian options: Plenty to choose from fully vegan to traditional vegetarian dishes. It’s a great choice for mixed groups. Parking: The paid parking at Village Square and Meadway are both less than a 100m away with loads of spaces and app parking (Ringo app) or coins, and only about 30p an hour. Don’t risk parking in unpaid spots or businesses as it upsets locals and you risk a fine as PCN are highly active with bramhall being a relatively compact village centre. Kid-friendliness: Very family friendly place albeit kids obviously need to like Middle Eastern food or be open minded. That said chicken skewers and rice is universally popular."

"Last week, I was invited to dinner at a new restaurant called Aline in Mayfair by PocketHighStreet, and it was without a doubt, the most food I’ve ever eaten in one sitting (and I grew up in Cyprus! I thought I was going to explode on the way home, but it was an incredibly satisfied feeling. As many of you may know, I love a sandwich (I seem to have written quite a few sandwich related posts recently! so when PocketHighStreet told me that Aline specialises in ‘gourmet sandwiches,’ I couldn’t have been more excited."

"The cuisine of Lebanon is one of the world;s finest. Simple dishes with good flavours, a melting pot of culinary ideas from all of the Middle East. And this unassuming little restaurant does it to a T , We chose from their hot and cold mezze dishes. Stuffed vine leaves, lebanese pizza with meat and cheese, a very good Hoummous Beiruty, a fragrant Tabouleh, good home made pickles and very good green olives,. Kibbeh, vine leaves, far too much really. Generous portions, friendly service. And they do BYOB."
