Comptoir Libanais, which translates as Lebanese Counter, was a pleasant surprise I stumbled upon at…read moreCheshire Oaks. I was in the mood for Mediterranean and there it was across from Costa Coffee, offering the FLAVOURS OF LEBANON. The ambiance was laid back and reminiscent of an Arabian outdoor garden, including climbing vines and flowers, hanging lights and intricate tile designs, all whilst Arabic music played in the background. The lamb kofta was deliciously seasoned & the vegetarian mezze very nice as well. I would have given 5 stars if the wait from the kitchen wasn't so long. However, I will def return on my next visit to Chester. *gratuity included.

This Lebanese place looked interesting and the menu offered a complete change from the usual…read moresuspects we rely on - usually pan Asian. We had a choice of places to eat here with Yo Sushi nearby, but it has become way too overpriced for what it is, and Tampopo which was also nearby, but we remembered that the last time we ate there the portions were just mean and the food wasn't hot. So in here it was. It's an open kitchen but I suspect most of the dips are factory made off site and plated here. We ordered a mezze platter for one and a mixed grill main consisting of chicken & lamb which came (served fairly cold) with a salad and a choice of spicy potato (the waitress declared the potatoes weren't that spicy) rice or cous cous. Cous cous was instantly our choice and it was very good. The food was refreshingly delicious with fresh herbs lifting the taste buds to another level. The salad with the mixed grill was ace tasting. The mezze plate was entirely vegetarian with some vegan food on the plate. The portions were mostly generous, but only one small falafel; should be two. Whilst it was all delicious the smoked aubergine and the baba ghanuj were really stand - out stunning and the flat bread on the side was a wonderful vehicle to dunk and munch. The service was friendly, but on the slow side and we got the wrong bill at the end of our meal. It was also odd to hear that only credit card payments were accepted and one couldn't put a tip onto the card payment either. We were fine with card payment and if we can't tip than that's that but it would be good manners if not necessary to tell guests this before they are seated or put a note on the window. Solid three stars - if the hot food was hot and the service focussed it would be four stars but if I'm not getting tips I wouldn't be super efficient either and to management - it's not rocket science guys & gals.

People coming in and out with take away orders. Review from locally published magazine praising how traditional this place is. The above reasons were good enough for me to try it!

I opted in for the Shish kebab - nicely served with rice (much lighter than the chips option and more traditional too), cooked to perfection, tender and juicy (not dry), grilled vegetables, humus with a citrus hint - very traditional and appropriate!

As I perused the menu, I asked if they had iced tea. They don't, usually, but were kind enough to make tea and throw some ice in it. Great tea, by the way. They also provided a nice pitcher of water, should I feel more thirsty. They have food for everyone. Pizzas, calzones, burgers, cold mezed (great for vegitarians), and kabobs. With so much to choose from, it was hard to narrow down. Ultimately, I went with the Shiraz Special Mixed Grill. Let me tell you, this plate is huge. It has all the meats, rice, chips, and salad. The sauce is amazing. The salad that came with it had a hint of spicy mustard as the dressing... kind of like the spicy mustard you get from a Chinese restaurant. It was a surprise, but tasted amazing. The chicken was soft, juicy and cooked well throughout. Great seasoning on the beef kabob. Everything about this dish is delicious, but the star of the show was the sauce. It was like a tomato puree but with spices that reminds me of tikka masala, but not spicy. So delicious! This place is a gem. If you're ever in the Liverpool and craving some Mediterranean/Middle Eastern Cuisine (or even if you're not), you should visit this place.

An added bonus is that they do corkage so we were able to bring wine and champagne that had been bought for me. The interior is a mix between intimate and modern with an exotic influence and also boasts a Shisha bar upstairs with a balcony. They also do takeaways , so if you ever need high quality food and not a greasy pizza, I recommend ordering. I will eat there again and again.

We went in on a Saturday night on the off chance there was a free table. The restaurant was obviously busy but they accommodated us. We were shown to our table, presented with menus and our drinks order was taken. We both ordered a Karisik, which has a mixture of chicken, lamb chops, Sis and Adana. When it arrived it looked amazing. It also came with some bread and a side salad which was delicious in itself. The meat was cooked to perfection and every mouthful was amazing. Even the rice was perfectly cooked and delicious. The toilets are small. The ladies toilet is a single disabled toilet and the men's toilet is a single toilet. The toilet was clean, tidy, and had a variety of toiletries to use. The only negative thing I can say is that the waiter didn't come over after our meals were served to check that everything was OK, but the restaurant was full to capacity so we can forgive that. This was the nicest kebab type dish I have ever had and the best restaurant I have been to in a long time. I will definitely be going back.
