"I was not familiar with the restaurant, although I was of course a member of the Maroush Group and I used to be regularly in her juice bar on edgware road. the restaurant is spacious, but not massive, and from outside quite inconceivable. the service was friendly and the menu is extensive. we tried some appetizers, haupt- und desserts. among the starters I loved the baba ganoush, really smokey and creamy, and the hummus was good as well as their mouhamara, spiced nuts mixed in a fiery paste. the tabbouleh was also very fresh. the grilled chicken main was ok, I found it dry, but I enjoyed the spicy bath that came with him. I was not impressed by the cadjau, but I liked the...read more"

"I've eaten at Bakchich a few times now and popped in with my son for lunch whilst shopping a few days ago. . . It was around 2pm mid week and no problem being seated I'd say they have a pretty extensive menu great choice of dishes! I love the laid back vibe in here and the decor. Great place for lunch. The staff are really pleasant and there's no rush to order. There's so much to choose from it's tough! We both went for the mixed swarma (Lamb&Chicken) cooked in Lebanese spices which is served on a freshly made flatbread with a beautifully fresh salad, rice and fries. We also both got the fresh homemade lemonade. I got the Rosa and my son the Lemon&Lime The food (with condiments) and drinks were served before we knew it. I've got to say that there was enough for two . . . on each plate! Amazingly generous portion sizes. We're big eaters and couldn't finish them. Taste wise it was absolutely delicious! Every forkful was full of flavour and thoroughly enjoyed. I managed to wrap a ton of the swarma plus salad and a few Tzatziki fries in the bread wrap and finish the lot before my drink and there was still loads left on my plate! What I loved about this meal was it was not greasy at all. It was what I would call clean food extremely well seasoned and cooked and plenty of it! Washed down with the zingy fresh and tasty lemonades this was an incredible meal. I will definitely be back!"

"Bluewater was very busy in general and the restaurant did not like the fact we had booked via open table. Although our table for was accepted we did not get seated until The starter was quick but we did not get out mains until No free bread or olives were offered despite us continually asking how much longer they were going to be. The price was the very expensive for a few lamb kofte burgers although we did have to keep ordering drinks to get us through until our food finally came out. Food was good although some of our groups food was cold but we daren't send it back as everyone was famished."

"this was an excellent restaurant friendly staff and good tasting eating. I would definitely visit again if in the opposite the only part was that after I had booked online through the open table website when I arrived at the restaurant, they had no recording about my booking! to the luck there was enough space."

"This restaurant is amazing, you need to go if you haven’t yet! We had the sharing platter and a couple of starters to share. Everything was absolutely delicious, we almost fought over the last mouthful. All the staff were so lovely, and they gave us some complimentary baklava after our meal which was a really nice touch. Will be returning. It’s BYOB as well which is great."

"we visited here on recommendation of a good friend, we booked a table in advance. we chose the plate, wasn't disappointed at all, much too much for both of us, but eating was really nicely cooked, all aromen complicated with each other. it was a bit tight in the restaraunt, a bit close to the next table. the food went quickly cold, but I put it down to be next to the entrance when the door was running. the beer was £3.95 a bottle, although very nice it was served in 330ml bottles, which became expensive after a few. I wish they would make a design! great restaraunt, great eating good service."

"Pleasant welcome to this quiet(Sunday lunch) friendly feeling place. Food was excellent although very typical, hoummos beiruty and taouk particularly tasty. Quite extensive Lebanese and other wines, possibly a little on pricey side. Musar Jeune a good red pick. Nice to patronise an owner-restaurant instead of the famous London Lebanese where service seems to becoming mechanical and a bit snooty. Recommended"

"Al Hamra may not top the list of the best Lebanese restaurants in London, but for a late bite in Mayfair, it is definitely worth recommending. It is quiet during the day, with a good selection of dishes. The hummus with pine nuts is delicious, and the lamb dishes are enjoyable. The salads, both sweet and spicy, are also worth trying. The tabbouleh is outstanding and the grilled meats are cooked well. The service can be a bit slow at times, but the coffee tastes delicious. Overall, the value for money is good and we will definitely be returning."

"Celebrated my partners birthday and was welcomed by smiling warm people who made the night extra special with their politeness and attitude. They even gave my partner a slice of cake and sang happy birthday to her. Food was freshly made and tasted fantastic along with good drinks. There isn’t a bad word I can say everything was fantastic"

"I booked this place for my Mum's birthday lunch, 12 of us in total. It had been recommended highly by a friend and it didn't disappoint. Our waiter was very attentive and always made sure we had enough drinks. He was able to cater for my Gluten Free dietary requirements with ease and everyone enjoyed their meal. They also kept my Mum's cake in their fridge for us and brought it out at the end with a song and lots on enthusiasm. We al enjoyed our time here and I would definitely go again."
"If you like middle-eastern food, this is the place for you. Main dishes are good, but I recommend ordering several small dishes instead, its so much more fun. The selection of both hot and cold mezza (small dishes) is enormous. Feast on dishes such as Moutabel Baba Ghanouj (Baba Ghanoul witth grilled eggplant pureed in), Tabouleh (that faboulous salad with a parsley base), Hommos Bazenjan Al-Rahib (Eggplant with tomato, onion, mint parsley). All on the cold Mezza menu and all around £5. And/or go for the hot Mezza with wonderful grilled Halloumi, Falafel, Batata Harra (fried potatos vegetables), Jawaneh (grilled wings with the most incredible Med garlic aoli) and Soujok (a spicy sausage). Each dish between £6-7. Then there is the “Lebanese Pastry” selection, from £4-6, with the most incredible Lebanese “pies”: spinach onion, lamb pine nuts, Halloumi, etc. Shawarmas are £5-6. Vegetarians and non alike will be in heaven. The fresh juices are great too. Everything is incredibly fresh and delicious, service is relaxed and friendly and the room is serene and beautiful. Enjoy."

"Arabesque is very convenient if attending the Hampstead Theatre only a couple of minutes walk away. The food was very tasty and excellent value for money. The service was good and the waitress was very helpful with explaining the menu. It was a bit cold in the restaurant though and people were waiting for their takeaways near our table which ruined the ambiance a bit. I could not fault the food/value but would not book for a night out but would definitely pop in for a quick bite if at the theatre again."

"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."

"I love a quality mixed grill from a Lebanese restaurant, and Hiba delivers just this. I also had some fried kibbe which, together with falafels are my favourite starters. These were nice and crunchy and had a great mince filling. The mixed grill was done very well... the chicken was moist and succulent, the kafta broke apart so easily and had the right flavours, the lamb cubes were surprisingly good, usually these suffer in the mixed grill, being tough and chewy... these ones however were pretty good, especially considering they had travelled for at least 20 30 minutes. Definitely be ordering again."

" couple of weeks ago and I must say, it was well worth the wait. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, the service is friendly and efficient, and the food is absolutely delicious. I highly recommend trying the seafood pasta, it was so flavorful and fresh. Overall, I had a fantastic dining experience and I will definitely be returning soon."

"Crockers Folly an excellent choice for lovely family catch up ; a beautiful spacious, airy, elegant yet cosy space with a delightfully relaxed atmosphere where we could hear ourselves speak. Delicious, generous very well presented Lebanese food exceptionally friendly, helpful very professional service. In a quiet street near Little Venice, this is a gem always a favourite for something special where we can really relax spend a lovely, leisurely evening come away feeling happy."

"I ordered the personal meal, cheese samosa, lentils soup and tea for around £23. Thé food was very good! It has a great taste and it’s fresh. The place looks clean as well and the staff are very friendly. They have nice bread (it is not very Palestinian tho but it does taste good. And watch out, their kunafeh is not Nabulsi at all, but would do the job if you just want a fairly good one). I love the neighborhood in Holborn as well. It’s 3 minutes far from the station."

"Abu Zaad is a popular Syrian restaurant that serves the Shepherd's Bush Arabic community well.I recently decided to try their fare as the two Lebanese Shawarma outlets currently in my local area of Chiswick are lousy.They ONLY have a Chicken Shawarma but do have Lamb Shish Kofte for those willing to wait around.The chicken shawarma came in "kit form" with garlic sauce and a small amount of tomato, onions pickled gherkin as salad.The quality of the white meat was excellent, the portion was generous too. The bread was fine and the simple salad was OK, though there was not much of it.The garlic sauce was good.Service was pleasant enough though the method of paying the cashier who passes a note to the kitchen means it is hard to build the sandwich to one's preferences easily.The shawarma cost which is great value in my opinion it is cheaper AND better quality than any I have found recently.RECOMMENDED"

"This place is a very good option for a wide variety of customers from both professional and intimate point of view. One must be aware that the place does not serve alcohol. The service is really good and the staff is attentive and yet not over bearing. The good part about the place might be the fact that the crowd also includes a fair amount from the middle eastern section as well which only adds to the credibility of the place. The portion sizes are substantial and the price equally appropriate. I would definitely advise people to try the kebabs here which are absolutely brilliant A nice place overall."
