Merton High Street isn't the most promising venue for a nice eaterie, but the Cedar is a real find…read morein this area. It's a small, family-run Lebanese restaurant, offering an extensive range of middle-eastern dishes at very reasonable prices. Long banquettes with cushions and moorish lamps add to the ambience. You can opt for a range of mezzes, or try something more specific from the menu. Plenty of vegetarian options. I'm not a great fan of Lebanese red wine though, and would suggest something a bit more mainstream. The service is friendly, efficient and attentive. Expect to pay around £20-£25 a head for two courses with wine and coffee.

In fact, the menu was so interesting that we wanted to order more but the owner cautioned us that we wouldn't be able to finish what we ordered. Everything was delicious. My wife, who eats no meat or dairy, had plenty of choices. I also enjoyed the Lebanese wine I ordered. We capped off the meal with an enjoyable conversation with the owner about his positive experiences in the UK as an immigrant and restaurant owner.

This is a neighbourhood Turkish restaurant with a separate takeaway outlet adjacent…read more The dining part has a main room at the front and a smaller, more private eating area at the rear up a few steps. The walls are largely bare brick and there are pretty Middle Eastern lamps everywhere. That said, the lighting is a little bright and there's piped Middle Eastern music, so it's not as cosy as the name might suggest. We had the set menu for £18.95 for two, with a bottle of Pinot Grigio. The menu included the mixed vegetarian meze to start, followed by vegetarian moussaka (served with rice and salad) followed by a Turkish coffee and fresh mint tea. The food was good, and portions generous. The bread served with the meze was superb - as was the Kisir (bulgar wheat with fresh herbs and spices) and Cacik (the Turkish take on Tzaziki). The freshness of everything was very evident. Service from one of the waiters was a bit erratic but the other was super friendly and very efficient. The Turkish coffee and mint tea were very good. The bill, including wine and service, came to £35 a head. A nice touch was asking if we were happy with the service charge. Overall, it was a good experience and I'd happily go back.

My sister suggested this restaurant and as I'm not usually a huge fan of Turkish food I wasn't…read moreoverly enthused, but in this case I was definitely wrong! We started off looking through the impressive cocktail menu - I chose the Mango Jambo which was delicious (although the coconut milk made it very sweet and a little dessert-y, so I ended up drinking most of it after the meal). They have a great selection with a wide range of spirits. The menus are laminated and a lot of the cocktails come in novelty glasses so it's not a classy affair, but great if you're looking for a fun & laid back evening! We ordered a selection of food between us and the portions were very generous. My favourites were the grilled halloumi (although I'm not sure how you can go wrong with this) and the stuffed peppers - they were stuffed with couscous & veg and were surprisingly light. All of the dips were well seasoned an not too oily, a problem I usually find! The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, and overall it was a lovely meal.

We had the baba ganoush with tabbouleh, and the fish of the day (whole sea bass) which was cooked to perfection. My boyfriend ordered plain ol' english chips with the fish - much to my disappointment - but we did dip them in this delicious yoghurt sauce that came with the fish so that made up for it. Love this little gem down Trinity road, looks are deceiving as it has much more space out the back than the cozy front of house would have you believe. Best to make a booking if you can but if it's a weekday you can usually get a table for two before 8pm.

Located a short walk from South Wimbledon underground station, this is a deceptively large…read morerestaurant serving authentic Lebanese cuisine. The interior is a modern, stripped back take on middle eastern decor, but with traditional imported wooden furniture. There's a small seating area the front and a larger area behind the kitchen. The food is familiar Lebanese cuisine with hot and cold mezze for around £5, from which you could construct a satisfying meal, with grilled and roasted meats, fish and stews for the mains. We chose the vegetarian menu for two at £35, which provided a choice of 7 starters, followed by moussaka and rice. We had baklava to finish. It was a great way to introduce my dining companion to this type of food and everything was wonderfully tasty. There's a similar non-vegetarian menu for £35 as well. They're not licensed but you can bring your own wine, and they don't charge corkage. Service was polite and efficient, and they waited until we had finished the starters before bringing the main course, so it felt unhurried. The bright decor means it doesn't really tick the box for a romantic evening, but it is a good choice for groups or families.

A respectable establishment that I shall frequent from this day onwards. My standards with Lebanese food are high, and Aya has met the very highest in food quality. The only downside is that this outlet of Aya is a small "hole-in-the-wall" concept, and has a few small tables. Better for takeaway.

They had a charcoal grill along with two vertical spits for chicken and lamb; no donner kebabs of dubious ancestry here. The lamb shawarma was fantastic, deliciously marinated lamb with very little fat; just enough to keep the meat moist and the spices in the marinade were superb. I had all the salads, with pickled chillies, garlic sauce and a good chilli sauce. All in all, a very good and filling portion of quite reasonably priced food to end a nightmare day.
