The cook also put his apron back on again and came and made us a nice meal. After a few hours at pub we decided to take a taxi back to the Excel only to realize many of the restaurants around here were already shut. I walked in here and asked if they would kindly serve us a meal and they obliged. The menu is big and has plenty of choice for veg and non veg eaters. The hummus to start was very nice and flavourful and the shawarma from chicken that followed was also very nice. I had takeaway from here one night and it was also quick and very nice indeed. A decent place for a meal in the area and I would happily come here again.

Second night here, and had previously gone to another Lebanese restaurant the night before. This is only 0.6 mile away from Aloft and is 5 short minute walk from the ExCel. I ran pass by it the day before and I was quite pleasantly surprised this is NOT inside of the ExCel but rather close to the dock. Took photos of it so that I'd remember to come for the evening meal after the show. At 9:30, the restaurant was not too crowded. Ordered Beirut hummus and Lebanese sausage to start. For mains, we had lamb stew, lamb shank, mixed grill and chicken kabobs, It was a lot of food, and they were very very tasty. The place is average priced for Lebanese food, and the portions are fairly decent. The flavors are really good, especially that it came with chips (for us Americans, it's fries, but for the little people who grew up with Charlie and Lola and Doctor Who, they know what's what) for the little people instead of the rice. A very nice gesture. Bread was very fresh. A super satisfying meal. An unexpected treat of that evening: there were fireworks off the dock.

This is why outs going to make me feel badly to say this, but not the best chicken shwarma, hummus, or tabouli that I've ever had. It was a bit bland, but sweet service which have them a 3-star rating. So the chicken shwarma was with dark meat and I've only ever had it with white meat. I got a small sliver of bone as that will stop me in my eating tracks! I know it's lame to say but it's a texture thing and it changes everything for me. Luckily it was toward the end so I didn't leave much. And yes, I know it will happen, even to us when we prepare our own food at home(not really) but I don't hold it against them. Its a personal thing for me.

It was quite busy around 8:15pm when we arrived but thankfully we didn't wait too long to be seated inside. We also ordered food fairly promptly as well. I got the pistachio hummus to start and the kifta birwesh (warning that photos look terrible). The food arrived very quickly so bonus there. Meanwhile the soundtrack was banging: Ra Ra Rasputin, 80s pop and reggae all played whilst we were there. Anyway the food: the hummus was fantastic- nutty and savory at the same time. The white pita bread that accompanied it though was edible but boring and tasteless. My kifta was also fine but nothing to write home over. Two large patties in a sauce. But my husband got the chicken shawarma and I LOVED the ghormeh sabzi that accompanied his meal (sweet from the pomegranate but also savory). Just YUM. My husband liked his chicken and I admit it was a generous portion for the cheap price. Would we return? Sure it's close and the price is great.

For desserts, the kadayif is good if you want something unique, if you want something not too sweet go for the date cake, and if you want a sugar rush go for the crunchy praline!
