I started with the Mezze Platter, which came with hummus, baba ghanoush, labneh, tabbouleh, a falafel, a cheese sambousek, pickles, and a grilled flatbread for eating with the dips. My favorite part was the hummus, which was nicely creamy and nutty and went perfectly with the falafel and flatbread. Next, the Chicken Taouk was marinated grilled chicken breast chunks served over flatbread with Comptoir salad (a cabbage/carrot slaw), pickles, and sliced tomato, along with hummus, harissa, and toum. Everything was flavorful, delicious, and colorfully-plated, and the service was quick and friendly too!

She lived in Turkey for 4 months in her youth and was amazed at the authenticity of the food. It's now her favourite restaurant.

If I could give this restaurant zero or negative stars, I would, because they do not deserve any…read morestars for the most awful and horrendous dining experience we've ever had. Let me just emphasize by saying that dining in a takeaway or a fast-food joint is considered fine dining compared to eating at this restaurant. I'd booked this restaurant based on vibrant professional pictures of its food and great reviews for a birthday celebration and taking my elderly parents for a meal out to celebrate my birthday. Upon arrival, we found this restaurant to be dark and narrow with dirty, greasy windows and dust all over the colorful lights. We were greeted by a young lady who possibly hadn't showered or washed her hair and body in days as she was reeking with the smell of unwashed hair and BO. There was absolutely no ambiance to this restaurant to speak of, and we didn't get a sense of cleanliness or attention to any detail. We were seated and as my parents enjoy Lebanese / middle eastern food I was hopeful that their food may make up for the awful first impressions and redeem itself. Alas, I was wrong and in hindsight, we should have just walked out. We sat down and ordered a bunch of appetizers and our main meals. The starters and our drinks came out ok, albeit being delivered with an added smell of sweat from the lady serving us. At one point, I felt nauseated from getting a whiff of her moving around but I let it pass. She then proceeded to bring two of the meals out and put them down and then asked what we had ordered again! which was shocking as she was the one taking our order to begin with! My mother had ordered the cod which was listed on their menu and after she had served two out of the four dishes already, proceeded to say ...."oh sorry we don't have cod we have shrimp or seabass". If an item that is listed on your menu is out, you mention that when you are taking the orders, not when you are serving the food to two out of the four guests. Usually in any normal restaurant, food for the table is served all at once so people can enjoy eating together. My mom said she'd like the seabass; she went off to the kitchen. We waited, waited, waited... drank our drinks, ordered more drinks... waited and waited while the other two dishes got cold. When we enquired where the other two dishes are and when they are getting served, she came by to say the other two main meals are coming out in 5 mins... then another 5 minutes... after 35 minutes past serving two of the four dishes, the other two main meals hadn't come out yet! There was one person in their kitchen dealing with the food who was not Lebanese trying to cook / fake cook Lebanese dishes but failing miserably at that too. The smelly lady kept giving excuses that they only have one cook in the kitchen and that is why the main meals for the other two dishes take so long. I found her excuses unacceptable. Nothing justifies or excuses this kind of service at any restaurant. If a restaurant is open and is taking reservations, then they should be prepared to serve a decent food and service. It is not my concern how many cooks or chefs you have in the kitchen, but whoever is in charge should be prepared to properly serve if every seat in the house is filled up. This place couldn't even cope with 4 main meals and delivering them together all at once! Let me just say that I can't unsee what I experienced at this restaurant and this place goes down as the most terrible experience in the history of eating out. I would not recommend eating at this restaurant for any reason, unless you enjoy eating amongst dirt, sweat and unwashed people circling around. I don't want anyone else experiencing what we just endured and have a ruined day / special occasion celebration. Utterly disgraceful!

It was the middle of the day and I had the afternoon to kill before meeting others. I'd heard about…read moreJeita from the manager at the hotel I was staying at, who sung its praises, so I thought I'd stop by and grab a bite to tide me over. It was well after the lunch rush, and before folks started showing up for dinner, so I had the restaurant to myself. I looked over the menu, and decided that I wanted their hommos schwarma starter. After I had ordered it, I changed my mind, and felt I really wanted the spicier version of their hommos instead, the hommos Beiruty. They ended up giving me both, charging me for one, and provided loads of pita. I was looking for a snack, but this was turning into a meal! Anyway, I mentioned that I really enjoyed ayrans, a salted yogurt drink common to the Mideast, and asked if they could make one (it wasn't on the menu). The cook said he most certainly could, and had his own special recipe. Wow. They were not only providing a fairly cheap meal, but also a special drink not even on the menu! Anyway, both plates of hommos were tasty, especially the hommos Beiruty. The ayran, however, was in a class all to itself: it was singularly the best ayran I'd ever had in my life! I finished it, and they came by and filled up another glass (free of charge, no less). I walked out for 16 pounds, and had a bunch of leftovers! I regret with my activities this week that I could not stop by again. But I told folks I knew here all about it. Well worth a visit if you're in Guildford, even for the day.
