For me its the best location and very convinient as its on the same Road as my Computer Repairs shop. The restaurant is well designed with good seating, lighting and ambience is very comfortable. The staff including chefs and manager are all very hospitable and friendly. I particularly like the Chicken Shawarama sandwich with chips and salad which is always fresh, tender and delicious. The lunchtime menu (happy hour) offer is extremely good value. My favourite (so far) is chicken and lamb Shawarama with chips or rice together with salad and fresh humus on a large plate for £6.50 .. absolutely delicious! I have visited and encouraged family and friends and so far they all love it ... 5 Star all the way! Best wishes to all. Javed MIRAJ Computers, 123 London Street , Reading.

Comptoir Libanais has become, since my initial visit 10 years ago to their South Kensington…read morelocation, a chain of at least 24 restaurants. I've now only seen two of their restaurants but with their colorful, stylish, vibrant decor they are immediately recognizable. The branding is excellent. The Oxford location of Comptoir Libonais sits on the outside edge of a big Westfield Mall and though the decor immediately identifies it, there was something very tired about it. It felt less special and was less pristine than it should have been. Tables were left uncleared for far too long after guests left. My wine glass arrived dirty, with a very small pour (replaced with a large pour, as ordered, and a clean glass when I pointed it out). It took far too long for anyone to come to my table. Despite good food the collection of missteps left a negative impression, like nobody who cares is actually watching over this outpost. This would easily be a 4-star review were it based on food alone but there is no escaping that it is the collection of a dining experience that influences one's overall feelings about a place. Comptoir Libonais Oxford could and should be doing a far better job. (Note: 12.5% service fee automatically added to bill)

She actually said that their falafels were better than Zaki Kabob in Berkeley which Ryan S. couldn't believe because to him ZK is "God of Kabobs." You get a complimentary platter of whole and chopped vegetables. Interesting presentation as it came with a whole green bell pepper, a whole tomato, radishes, and cut up carrots and pickled something or other. The falafels were good but not solid. The chicken kabob was moist on the inside, dry on the outside. Stand outs for the meal were the feta cheese and spinach spanikopita-like appetizers and baklava-like dessert. It is pricey at £50 which translates to $80. Yikes...

I then uncovered the amazing desserts, wonderful wines and charming service. All of that under one roof in a fabulous old barn. So when hearing that Bills was opening up in Reading (which is about as close to my home town as you can get) I squealed with excitement and insisted on taking the parents out for dinner there. The building again is amazing. Bill has a way of choosing places with real character and this old house is the perfect setting. Upstairs there are two private dining rooms one with an enormous farmhouse table perfect for sitting large parties all together. The food is again, wonderful. I feel that the desserts didn't look quite as amazing as they do in Brighton. They were a bit mean on the fruit front, they also charge you per portion of bread, even though the portions are tiny. My final whinge will be that the didn't let us book as we wanted to eat at 6.30 but when we got there made quite a bit of a fuss about the fact the hadn't booked. The staff were all very confused. They had a lovely selection of drinks and I enjoyed a very modest Hedgerow Fizz which was a mere £3.501 In this area, you will not find better food, ethically sourced anywhere else. It really is quite wonderful. They also have a food store here and do hampers for gifts with goodies like Berkshire honey and Bill's homemade chilli jelly. It's worth eating here if you're in the area.
