The environment resembles what one would expect a restaurant in Beirut to look like (even though I've never been to Lebanon so slightly biased there) ;-) and the staff is friendly. We had to remove milk but that was no problem for the service minded staff. The breakfast was delish, and well worth the money. Included is coffee/tea, juice and some typical Lebanese mese-styled breakfast. Nothing to complain about and can recommend a visit! A side note is that they have pictures of famous people in fez-hats which is a bit fun

On the last day of our trip we walked into this restaurant. We chose it due to it's close location to our hotel, and it was a choice based on convenience as opposed to interest. I was quickly surprised. After a full day of tours and sightseeing we were tired and hungry. Upon entering the restaurant the staff greeted us with a friendly and inviting demeanor that immediately helped improve my mood. Although, it's not much to look at from the outside, the inside is clean, and well decorated with modest middle eastern decor. The quality of the meal was nothing short of amazing. The appetizer they served me had the tastiest hummus I've ever had. I ordered a shrimp plate that caught my attention and I can honestly say this was the single best shrimp recipe I've ever had in my life. I would have gladly payed the chef hundreds of dollars for the recipe just so I could recreate it at home. My wife enjoyed her meal just as much as I did. We quickly agreed that this had been the single best meal of the entire trip. Now if I can just talk the owner into selling me that recipe

The shawarmas are some of the best I've had in London and so are their kibde, the hummus and the kunafe. My only issue with them is service which is on the slower side and their staff need some basic training on handling delays from the kitchen. When our fries arrived after we had almost finished our mains and we asked our waiter, he actually said it was not hesitate fault and blamed the kitchen! Standard rookie mistake but a restaurant like Maroush should know better than to employ people who can't take charge and responsibility for a situation.

Here's what we ordered and enjoyed most: Thyme kellaj: crisp, filled with delish zaatar, perfect for me Hummus: creamy dream, perfectly balanced Labneh: thick, creamy, dreamy. Chicken Fallouj: huge portion. Perfectly cooked, no dryness and full of flavor. Went very well with the labneh. Falafel: crispy, BIG, but not as big on the flavor as I was expecting. Did like that it came with a tahini sauce and pickled turnips which cut the heaviness. Actually wouldn't get again because the other items filled me right up. The only "miss" of the meal for me. Passion fruit martini is a MUST get for you fruity drink people. Really tasted like passion fruit. The old fashioned is a miss for my husband -- he couldn't explain why but he just wasn't into it. Please note that this restaurant is in a smaller space so you probably would need a reservation on weekends.

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.
