"Don't be put off by the less than classy frontage. This was our go-to restaurant when we lived a tube stop away and no visit to London would be right for us without a stop here. A family of four (and often with friends) we always sit in the back at the tables. The Lebanese cuisine is fabulous, the mezze, the bread comes quick, fresh and warm, the falafels are hot and luscious. The fattoush is crispy, the hummous, divine and the chicken and lamb luscious. If you don't know Lebanese, no place could provide a better introduction in a low key, warm surrounding, if you know Lebanese you will quickly understand why this place is preferred by middle easterners in London. It is a small wait staff, you feel like your uncle is offering you his favourites. The gratis after dinner fruit plate is brought in when you cannot eat anything else. The ambiance is close knit, we have had more than a few conversations with our table neighbors at this place so it is not appropriate for a screaming toddler who won't eat. The prices cannot be beaten in London for a decent meal and this is better than decent. Reservations recommended on Thursdays/Sundays, but they are really needed on Fri/Sat. We never have had issues M-W."
