"I visited last night with my wife. We were very kind and polite with them, basically in a very nice mood. We were given a small lovely 2 seat table at the edge of the restaurant. 1. The hostess informed us that the Tagine was better than the tagines from Agadir in Morocco. We actually had visited a great little authentic place in a village outside of Agadir which was absolutely delicious, so although we were a little skeptical her confidence made us very excited and looking forward to ordering tagines. The waitress was very cheerful and friendly. 2. The menu was different to the menus which they have on both the Internet and their own website. Still, we ordered lamb tagine, and lamb shank (the fish tagine was not available . 3. LAMB TAGINE: absolutely disgusting. The 2 prunes and some almonds would suggest a certain flavour of dish, however the bland lamb (apart from the over peppering which choked and lingered in the throat sitting in a puddle of water drowned everything away. It tasted like water was poured onto the dish moments before serving. 4. LAMB SHANK: this was half decent. over spiced though. The lentils in the dish were like an Indian dish, so if you want a middle eastern lamb shank mixed with lentils from an Indian restaurant then you may like. 5. We arrived at 7:30pm. At 8:40pm, after the waitress offered to bring over the deserts menu and while she was getting it, the waiter gave us our bill and shoved the card machine in my face. At that moment the restaurant was half full (or empty! , however he instructed us to pay as they apparently had a booking. It seemed that despite the restaurant having ample empty tables, they needed our small 2 seater table-which was beside 2 other (empty! 2 seater tables. I informed him that the waitress is expecting us to order desert, yet he didn’t seem to care and just wanted us gone. Even though my wife was less than half way through finishing her drink. The waitress arrived with our deserts menu, which the waiter didn’t seem to care. NOTE: They add a 12.5% service charge to the bill. This is optional for the customer, however they casually include it when punching in the bill amount in the machine. 6. We took our half finished drink to the bar as the waitress told us to have our desert and tea there. Sadly the whole bar area smells of the toilet which is nearby. So while we were deciding to sit away from the toilet, the hostess approached us and very rudely told us to quickly decide and sit down. I am so glad I decided to leave. Their bad service, terrible food, and smelly bar fortunately didn’t ruin our day. We continued our night in the west end laughing about this experience. Swearing to never eat there ever again. But skeptical and gobsmacked about some of Levant and Kenza’s (same restaurant, different name and location positive reviews. Hope this review helps people to avoid wasting their money. Ps. £3.95 for a small glass of flat, watered down coke!"

"This was my second time dining here, and once again I faced a long wait for a table. This time it was an hour, and during the wait, we were only offered a drink, which I think should have been complimentary given the lengthy delay. Fortunately, we managed to find a spot to sit while waiting, but many others who arrived after us had to stand around. Honestly, I might have decided to leave if we hadn’t found a place to wait. However, once we were seated, the service and food were good, and the atmosphere was lively. I’d love to return, but the long wait for a table is definitely a turn-off, especially since it happened both times I visited."

"sitting today to guildford, especially to have some kreise! we were not disappointed: both eating and service were really good and spot on to heal the nostalgia for some authentic Greek gyros. the place is a bit small (only 2 tables and some stands), but is above all a good one, so that's okay. I hope they will expand to a larger space so that they can more tables etc. for people outside guildford."

"The manager needs to do a refresher course on customer service. The restaurant is suppose to be a Lebanese cuisine but had only Indian food as mains? Me and my friends had ordered mocktail and the drinks were literally half a glass, the drinks were overpriced in terms of how much we got. We ordered a shared Tapas and unfortunately it wasn't really sharing Tapas the portion sizes were very small. When trying to discuss this he came across quite arrogant and had very little listening skills. We were extremely upset the way he dealt with things so cancelled our main, however we didn't let this dampen our mood and went to the Turkish restaurant down the road and they really went out of their way to serve us good food, big portion sizes and gave us dessert which was in the house."

"We reserved two tables for our upcoming visit, which allowed us to choose our preferred seating area in the restaurant. The menu selection was excellent, and the food was delicious. The service was very attentive and good. We visited on a Sunday and opted for the lunch package. My only minor critique is that the Yorkshire puddings were excessively large, overshadowing the rest of the meal. Unfortunately, they were unappealing and went to waste, as no one at our table could finish one. Despite this, it’s an amazing restaurant, and we’re thrilled that it's within walking distance for us."

"Owners need to sort this out. The review is regarding the deli only. I have visited multiple times for drinks and snacks on the go. The drinks are good. But my goodness the customer service is appalling. The staff there are so rude, they need training in customer service. Every time you go in, when you order you feel an inconvenience, they talk amongst themselves even when they are serving you especially when one is sat at the counter eating her lunch of breakfast. there is no eye contact. No friendly good morning or thank you. Just that’s £4.10. Really unprofessional. They don't even take care to remember your order. My partner goes in there multiple times a week and they never remember her order. She orders the same thing at least twice a week. No care or attention.say what you like about Costa and the likes but they remember your order. If it carries on I’ll avoid completely. Lots of other locals have said similar. Shame."

"Delicious! Had a great evening here with friends. Food is lovely, but as the only vegan at our table I was disappointed in the the falafel main as the dish was just falafel and hummus. Would of been nice to have more salad, or even some rice or chips to make it into a meal! Restaurant was empty when we went, we weren't in any rush but the service was particularly slow."

"If you are a fan of Lebanese food then this is the place to go. The Maroush umbrella consists of several restaurants under the name of Maroush, Maroush gardens, Beirut express etc etc. They have several branches all across London including 2 on Edgware road. My favourite order (what i order each time) is their chicken shorma with extra garlic mayo and fresh mango juice. The chicken showrmas have just the right amount of chicken and salad. Every bite has that crunch as well as the freshness from the lettuce and tomato salad. I agree it's a bit messy to eat it often but hey as long as you can lick of the dripping mayonnaise off your fingers, it's all good. I really love their mango juice. Its fresh and sweet and perfect drink with the wrap. The menu also has the normal items like falafels, hot and cold mezze platters along with curries and the Lebanese bread. For 10 pounds your stomach will be stuffed but you'll still want more thanks to the sheer taste of the food. I highly suggest this place!"

"We called ahead yesterday after enjoying a drink, and ended our meal with the delicious bread and butter pudding with custard. My friends had the cheesecake with a unique twist, the scallops, and the lamb kebab. We also discovered the Moroccan mint tea with rose, which is a must-try. The staff was very attentive and friendly. We will definitely be returning for our next visit to London."

"had a terrible experience at this place. first, the restaurant had not booked my booking as I had booked via opentable. second, I sat in the worst possible table next to the kitchen, although there are other tables available as I decided not to go with the Valentine Set menu. third, the most disappointing of all, my wife served a dish with meat, when we had ordered specifically for a vegetarian dish. we had double checked with the waitress while we abandoned the order, but they still screwed up the order. my wife had never eaten meat in her life, but took a bit from the meal she served. that ruined us the night. to finish everything, the drink order was also grounded and we were served the wrong drinks. when they served the daiquiri I had ordered, it was the worst I had lived in. it was nothing but juice served in a glass for drinking water. it was a sweat! never return to this place."

"This is The Restaurant To Go For at Edgware Road where it will find more takers than leavers for Lebanese cuisine. The restaurant has been there for a few decades and it will be interesting to find what came first the settlement surrounding it or the restaurant itself. Did it behave like a protagonist to the Lebanese loving foodies? or was it rightly located and grew out if them to begin with? Whatever the reason the result is A+. So finally when you're in you would be treated like an absolute guest from the word go and that's what makes it special. The food has to be undoubtedly the best or else this Lebanese place would have fallen apart years ago. When you're eating don't order too...read more"

"We noticed that some guests who hadn't made reservations were seated at more preferable tables, away from the busy staff. Despite this hiccup, I can't fault the food or the staff, and the prices were very reasonable, especially considering the high quality of the dishes. I will definitely return, but next time I will request a better seating arrangement."

"Disappointed to have booked and not be warned about the mezze being the only available option. Told when sat down. Not much option but to accept. Food great. Tried to charge for each of us there were adults and an year old and year old despite agreeing to do deal for the of them when we ordered. When asked for the bill I was over charged. They didnât leave bill on table and just tell you the value and present the card machine immediately. I queried and he went to alter. I paid. I realised that in fact they had charged more than the first time. I ended up having to ask for a print out of the bill on my way out. He gave it to me. It wasnât even our bill plus theyâd charged for the set menu!!?!?!!. I wrote down what we had eaten and drank and we added it up properly together and he had indeed overcharged by He couldnât refund the card and so gave cash. Lush food. If you go please check whatâs on offer before you go. Then insist that the bill if left on your table like in a normal restaurant. This gives the customer the time to check all is well before paying. I really felt the chap was trying to pull the wool over our eyes. Donât let them! He did the same to another table which had a couple and a young child of about or Charged The excuse was that he couldnât deduct dine in because we only wanted set menus. Rubbish. We have eaten out all month in the scheme in restaurant in bristol and in central London and this is the only time Iâve heard this tosh. Chap could put whatever he wanted into the till ...itâs his restaurant. of us dined. x to come of bill. I found the whole invoicing experience poor and embarrassing."

"What 's the point in reserving a table, weeks in advance only to turn up to the restaurant to find that the booking was ignored me we had to wait 10 minutes for staff to clear a table? Waste of time. Baroushka has gone from a lovely restaurant into a 'pack 'em in ' fast food joint."
"I didn't dine at this particular location, but rather at Maroush Express, which is located just down the street. My friend, who is from London, recommended that we meet there while I was visiting because she mentioned that they had a variety of vegan options. While that may have been the case, they were actually out of the first two dishes I tried to order from the menu. However, the moutabal baba ganouj that I ended up getting was absolutely delicious! The pitta bread and tabbouleh were also quite good. Unfortunately, the service was lacking. The server seemed unfriendly and uninterested in taking our order, and did not return to check on us afterwards. It took multiple attempts to get takeaway boxes and pay the bill. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. I would suggest proceeding with caution if you decide to dine in, or just opt for takeaway instead."

"We are not adventurous eaters and our waitress was very pleasant and patient with us explaining what was in the dishes, how they were cooked etc. We sat in a booth, nice and private so we could have a conversation. An appetizer was brought out for us to nibble on, flatbread, dip and carrot and celery sticks, while waiting for our food which came in a timely manner. We both chose avocado and prawns as a starter, followed by two different lamb dishes, both came piping hot and nicely presented. The portions are large! It was my wife's birthday and the staff placed a lit candle in her piece of cheesecake and sang Happy Birthday, what a lovely touch."

"So I've been going to this shop since my Teenage years, now I'm an adult. I love how it's an authentic Turkish restaurant run by a Turkish family. Good people serving good food. I have friends that travel for 20 minutes for their special home made Chilli sauce. For sure it's worth a try. It's a nice family run shop which the family still work hard on. In fact I grew up watching them develope it and can tell you the quality has not slipped, only improved. Good food at fair prices. Will surely be back soon."

"I went there with a group of 6 people as we were craving Lebanese food. The mezze was fine but the main dishes took more than an hour. We asked the guy to cancel the order because we had to go catch the coach but they refused and said that the food was coming so we had to wait 5 more minutes and I wish we didn’t! The food was so bad, the Shawarma was so dry and almost burnt and the rest of it was so tasteless. In the end I had to pay for that bad food, miss my coach and pay for another ticket... That was my first and last time I go there."
