    The mixed meat platter
    Arisa T.

    If you are in the area. You must stop in and try this incredibly fresh Lebanese restaurant. We tried the Lebanese salad, mixed grilled plate, green bean dish and the moutbal. Everything was great from beginning to end. Service food and ambiance was great. Definitely will be back.

    Great Lebanese food in Knightsbridge near Harrods.

    Spectacular! The best Lebanese food I've ever had- anywhere. I've eaten at the best Lebanese restaurants in Paris, Dubai, Jeddah and Miami -and this is in a league of its own. Of your love Lebanese food- you need to eat here. Enjoy! Either I am hungry and we eat. Or @saronfeld is hungry and we eat. Meal 15 tonight @ishbiliarestaurant- which is without question the best #Lebanese food I've ever had. @ishbiliarestaurant Pass the hummus Habibti!

    Lebanese food at its finest. I was so so so happy with every dish that came across our plate. I really loved this place. The mezzes were so satisfying both warm or cold. The food is incredibly flavorful and the menu is abundant so you can really go to town here. The lamb was amazing. And those little pastry boats filled with spinach and spices were mouthwatering. The dips went perfectly with everything we had. I wish I was a local so I could come back often.

    An interesting find in this neighborhood and this place delivers. This was an unplanned visit at an odd time for dinner but the place was packed so that's a good sign. Service was poor at the start as we had to wait out a bit to even get attention. After we were seated it got a bit better. Here is what we ordered Aryse. One of my go to dishes for Lebanese cuisine a smaller serving with the spice a bit held back but it still delivered. Haloomi Cheese. Hard to mess this one up IMO. Decent Shish Tawouk a decent sized serving. Done very well. High marks here. King prawns. We had the fried version. These are very delicately fried and the sauce that covers them is spiced quite well. There was free side of bread and a salad. 3.5 Stars.

    Falafel, freshly made. Not the microwave ones you get at most other places. This is Lebanese grandma made authentic!

    I do not have words to describe how good the food and service at this place is. Very friendly staff and speedy service. It is mouth wateringly delicious food and served in the most elegant way. It is THE PLACE to take your large group of friends or family. Go as a group of 5 or more and try out several different mezzes, hot and cold. They have a wide variety so you need time and mattress to share it with. Then attack the main course. Absolutely juicy meat kebabs and sides. There were some odd things too. This is the only place I have been to that serves whole uncut vegetables like pepper and turnips as part of salad. We were confused as to whether it was table decor or actual salad. I would expect to be given knives to cut and slice whole vegetables. But we only had regular cutlery at our disposal. That however didn't so is from enjoying the rest of our meal. Excellent choice of mint tea. Two pots were more than enough for a table of seven. And freshly made Arabic breads served while you dine. There is a special bread with minced lamb on top, this you have to order. That's my favourite. You get it as 4 slices on a little plate. You can choose to spread some tahini sauce or hummus on it. They serve fresh chilli sauce too, more like a paste, similarly you get garlic paste which again reminded me of my childhood. Growing up in UAE, Arabic cuisine has been a big part of my childhood. And it will always be close to my heart. Ishbilia is pretty pricey but for the quality, I'm ready to pay the extra pounds.

    Staying next door at the park Tower on nights bridge and stubbled across this nice little white tablecloth Lebanese restaurant. Our favorites: Hummus with Lamb Rose vino Nice service, although not very attentive. Hostess was great but waitstaff was pretty distance.

    Falafel, lamp mini-pizza

    We made a dinner of several mezza's and enjoyed it immensely. We especially loved their falafel and hummus. Very nice wine selection as well.

    Right after experiencing Natural History Museum, we were in this area and saw this amazing,…read morebeautiful restaurant. Of course, we had to try this. First thing that will struck yoy- is its ambience. It's gloriously lively inside. Shelves are lined with imported goods, with so many items on the wall, and lighting hanging from the ceilings. If you have been to any Turkish shop in a Christmas market, it's the same. Anyway, we waited around 15-20 minutes to get the table. We started with their local beers - Local Beirut beer and Menabrea Beer: I won't say, it was unique, but yeah, it had good taste. We were here with a friend from Amsterdam, and we were having a good time. Server did remind us about the main course.. hahaa.. we ordered * Mixed Grill- Lamb chicken kofta with veggies and sauces * Lamb Kofta Grill -grilled ground lamb with veggies and sauces * Batata Harra - small potato pieces in spices... * Baba Ghanuj- smooth smoked eggplant- that's my fav * Warm Flatbread - their in-house bread with olive oil. Goes with baba ghanuj... what an awesome pair... I could have eaten this only without complaint. The food was plentiful, bright, delicious, and filling without being heavy for one person. And did I mention AWESOME! The tastes, the decor, the service, and the value all came together for a perfect meal in London at Comptoir Libanais. This is an absolutely fabulous spot. Try it out if you are near to Musuem neighborhood.

    Food was good and reasonably priced. Service was mediocre. Very cute inside and bathrooms were…read moreclean.
