Abd El Wahab in Kensington and Chelsea

We decided to drop in for lunch as it looked rather pleasant from the outside and the menu read well. Nice atmosphere on entering and the staff were most pleasant. Unfortunately it went rapidly downhill from there. The food was absolutely disgusting. The Lebanese sausages just tasted of cloves, virtually inedible. The chicken liver was dry and looked so unpleasant and the pitta arrived in plastic bags! I’m sorry to say it was undoubtedly the worst meal I’ve ever had.

a Lebanese restaurant in London. Rating is #average. The bread was warmed in plastic bag so was soggy. The Tabooleh was chopped in large pieces. The Bamia bel zeit was served fridge cold. Feta was very liquid almost like a thick soup. The Falafel and the KHAROUF MARKOUK were very good. The Kunafa was literally bad.

I usually order from this restaurant a few times a month. I made the "mistake" of going to the restaurant and was so disappointed by the service. No cups for water, some of the dishes we ordered were forgotten, no plates to put the food in (all the food comes in shared plates), and very rushed and rude service. I believe we were served by the manager, an older gentleman in a suit. He was not friendly at all and tried to rush our entire dinner. We felt so uncomfortable. There was a hissing noise for a good 10 minutes, and when we informed the waiter he said " Oh I thought it was just me hearing it" and proceeded to go ahead with his service, without informing anyone/helping/reassuring the other clients who were clearly complaining. It was very disappointing as we brought our family here and were deeply embarrassed by the terrible treatment, generally bad service and uncomfortable experience. Sadly, will not be recommending, or ordering from here again as we do not want to support such an establishment. We are so sad about this as we love the food here and order a few times a month!

Enjoyed a great dinner here. Good view of the fountains. Great food and service from Rawad and Daniel!

Loved how they welcomed me and passionately fell in love with their lebanese coffee infused with cardamom. Just what I needed to start the day.

We had dinner at Abd Wahab and overall it was good: *Restaurant is large and airy...I didn't see any outdoor seating. *Service is friendly and food came out quickly. *Food itself is solid. Definitely recommend the Moujaddara and Batata Kezbra. We also ordered a Beetroot Salad which was good, Hummus, and Chicken Taouk. The only thing I didn't care for was the Seabass Provencal which was lacking in flavor so I wouldn't recommend that dish. I might return if in the area.

All I can say its the best libanese food in London. Its not cheap but its just the best you can get. Its often very busy so be patient with service but the food is so worth it. They also do takeaway if you want.

The food tasted very fresh. We got a mixed grill platter, 1/2 grilled chicken, garlic potatoes and extra toum (garlic sauce). We felt that when you order grilled food it’s easy to burn it but none of the food was burnt or had that bitter aftertaste of burnt food. We felt it was seasoned right. The keftas were tender and juicy. The Chicken came mostly deboned which was a nice surprise. The garlic sauce/toum had such a lovely creamy texture and not overly garlicy. We also ordered a side of rice. My only downside would be a plate of rice was £7.00 and had to be ordered seperately and normally eating at a Mediterranean restaurant if you order a grill platter it already comes with a bed of rice. This is not a cheap place to eat but it was tasty and the ambiance and service was worth it. The interior is classy and modern, the waiters were mostly attentive and presentation was nice! From the outside the place doesn’t look like much but as soon as you walk in you see the decor. The knafeh is a different style than we are used to so I wouldn’t have that again here but if you are Lebanese and know what authentic Lebanese knafeh should be like let me know if this hits the mark for you!

Very happy with the food quality and service. We went a bit on the early side for dinner and staff was attentive. One of our group speaks some Arabic which made for a easy chat the waiters (the Spanish assistant was charming btw). Had fattoush, hummus, baba ganoush, kibbe, falafel and some grilled meats. All fresh and tasty. Didn’t care for the plastic bagged room temperature pita however. Food for that part of London was properly priced. Lebanese wine list was rather expansive however.

The food was great and tasty ! And the environment was great. I highly recommend the Shrimp fatteh and the kale tabboulah & the pine and meat hummus

An east European friend wanted to try the famous Lebanese food. We were in the middle of London’s west end where there are many Lebanese restaurants, but I took him to Abd Elwhab so as to have the famous Lebanese ice cream that I had eaten there on previous occasions. When we walked in I specifically asked if they were serving the Sahlab ice cream and I was assured that they were. We ordered some food first. I was disappointed as the food served looked and tasted pre packed, like something you might get from a supermarket, not what I would expect from a restaurant, especially given the prices being charged. At the end of our meal, undeterred and hoping the ice cream would at least in part make up for the poor standard of the food so far, we ordered the Sahlab ice cream, but what we got was nothing like what I remember having pre pandemic. It was light pink in colour and tasted more like chewing gum. I called the waitress and questioned her about the ice cream. She checked with the chef and I was told that they do not have any Sahlab and so they had just served something else instead. Why serve me something that was not the genuine item, did the chef think I would not notice? I refused it and it was taken away with no apology or any gesture of compensation. The whole experience was a massive disappointment and embarrassment. It gave my friend a very poor impression of Lebanese cuisine and culture. I would strongly advise you to avoid this place, so not to be ripped off as we were.

Appalling in every sense of the word. Being an Arab that has spent most of her life in London we have been to numerous Lebanese restaurants in my lifetime. This has been the worst experience that I have my suspicions this cannot be authentic Lebanese. My general experience with Lebanese restaurants has been that the staff are usually welcoming and even if things are overpriced, they make sure they make you feel looked after and it is well deserved. Unfortunately, it seems that on Christmas Day 2021 fate had planned for us to end up at Abd El Wahab as it is always difficult finding a place to eat with availability on Christmas Day in London. We are a family of 7 and after finding our favourite cafe closing early at 6pm we drove to Belgravia to find Abd El Wahab open and not busy and managed to conveniently park right outside the restaurant. I walked in to ask if they had availability for 7 of us and I could see that half of the restaurant was empty and yet we were told to “wait while I check if there is availability” and initially we were told there is nothing available and just before walking out suddenly something could be done and one of the empty tables was designated to us. As we walked to the table, the floor was disgustingly filthy as of not cleaned for weeks. The table and chairs had crumbs all over (all these were red flags that should have made us walk out but when you’re hungry and not wanting to cook something yourself you are inclined to accept matters!). The waiter was rude and had despicable manners. Shocking for a Lebanese restaurant when we are used to warm welcomes and excellent service and this raised our suspicions about the authenticity of this “Lebanese” restaurant. The decor is not Lebanese, service not Lebanese, food was far from Lebanese as it was bland and burnt. Portions were small and it was so disappointing that there was no flavour at all, it was as if the chef was blindly making the dishes or they had someone who does not know how to cook! Overall, my advice would be to AVOID this restaurant. Save your mood and money and go enjoy it elsewhere!!

We went there as a family of 7. We are from the middle east living in London. We had a terrible experience from start to end. The restaurant floor was so dirty and gross as if it’s never been cleaned before. The chairs and tables were not any better. Staff were so rude and unwelcoming and the service was appalling. I would rate Food taste and quality less than zero if there was an option. Unfortunately I had to chose one star to be able to submit this review.

This meal was the worst we ever had in a Lebanese restaurant, and we are all from the Middle East !! We were seven of us for dinner. The starters were extremely bland, the mains was half burnt half tasteless. The head waiter was extremely rude and abrupt. At the end of the night when we asked for the bill, he came over with the contactless machine but NO ITEMISED BILL.. he just told us what to pay each person!! One of us particularly me had to Pay £60 when the set menu was £40. I had a G &T that was supposed to be for £8 . We all shared two bottles of water, but he charged two people extra for that .. the rest he charges them £42 when they all had soft drinks and tea. !! This restaurant is a daylight robbery, and I highly recommend DO NOT VISIT OR GO THERE.

Ristorante con vera cucina libanese - ampio menu con un gentilissimo gestore che aiuta nella scelta e spiega i piatti. Porzioni abbondanti e prodotti di qualità. Ottimi l'hummus e la grigliata con carne tenerissima e di sapore eccellente. Buon vino libanese. Dolci (in omaggio i tipici baklava) molto buoni. Conto corretto. Suggerito al 100%.

The 3 of us wanted a Mezze selection, of mostly hot starters all were yummy but al came at the same time, so some were getting cold, we waited a while before the order was taken, the restaurant laked atmosphere, friendly service, but a restaurant...

Ordered a selection to be delivered. Quality of food was awful! You’d definitely get better quality from packed supermarket dishes. Bad and not fresh ingredients, bad cooking.. . DO NOT ORDER from this place!

We went for quick lunch, ordered vegetarian mezze with aubergines. What came out was literally wors Lebanese mezze ever (we love Lebanese) - potatos warmed up badly , from yesterdays leftovers probably, aubergine was sour and not edible, pitas came in microwaved plastic bag, not...

1 Food was undercooked and made my wife physically sick Appalling quality control and disappointing in the extreme - no resemblance to pre covid quality

The most authentic Lebanese cuisine I tried in London so far. Great place excellent service. Recommend.

We chose an assorted set of dishes and each came pronto, and were more delicious than the other (from the smooth hummus, to the savoury chicken wings and delightful tabbouleh, to the tender kafta and the deliciously slaty and creamy halloumi, etc.) .. Even their...

very good food and excellent service We had a pleasant chat with the nice and friendly Nabil who explained everything.

We had a lovely chat with the Egyptian man who either owned or ran the restaurant ( we aren't sure which) and he could not have been more gracious. We had some of the best chicken ever, and alovely salad and wonderful traditional dessert. We...

We ordered several dishes and every single order was perfect. Service is at genuine Lebanese levels (this means it is elegant and excellent). This restaurant is officially my go to place for Lebanese food in London.

Keen to cheer ourselves up from the wintry weather, we were searching for a dining experience with a difference to warm our hearts. Abd El Wahab in Belgravia offered just what we needed. Their pleasing blend of warm hospitality, welcoming ambiance and authentic Lebanese cuisine...

Amazing food, lots of choices you will tase the authentic Lebanaese cuisine Good value for money Highly recommend

Abd El Wahab is one of my go-to restaurants. We either order Deliveroo or go in every month. I have never been to Lebanon, so I cannot profess how 'authentic' this food is, but I do know it is delicious! Their grilled meats are wonderful,...

We were very desappointed by this restaurant. We chose to go to it because we knew the Abd El Wahab in Beirout and in UAE, both very good. This one in London, lacks the Middle Eastern hospitalite to start with, then it has a messy...

A lovely restaurant with great service and food. Reminded me of Dubai. Short walk from Knightsbridge and perfect for those who enjoy Arabic food.

Excellent Lebanese restaurant, strongly recommended. We come here regularly with family always enjoy the high quality food and pleasant and efficient service. Easily the best Lebanese restaurant in London!

The moment we entered this restaurant, we felt the atmosphere of a genuine Lebanese restaurant. The mezze as well as the mains were absolutely delicious, every dish served tasted great. I loved the grilled halloumi, the spicy sausages, the hummous, etc. The grilled meat and...

Excellent food, reminded me of Lebanon. Whatever you do, order a dessert!! Friendly staff, especially Samir. Absolutely recommended.

Amazing food, best lamb and knaffeh I’ve ever had. The service is also incredible! Samir is the best!

Aye in their Beirut branch a couple of years ago so was so happy that they had a branch next to our hotel. However you could not compare the two establishments. The restaurant was empty on a Saturday night and felt like a neglected hotel...

Might be the best Lebanese I’ve ever had. Ordered a bunch of mezzes, meat, and salads. Gracious service and it’s clear they don’t take shortcuts when choosing ingredients and preparation. Favorites were the moutabbal (eggplant), dolma, and taouk. Eggplant is so smokey, mmmmm. The desserts...

The best Lebanese restaurant in London, hands down. The staff is friendly, and the food is great! Keep space for dessert.

I am Lebanese been living in london for a long time and never had such a good Lebanese meal. Food fantastic, service impeccable lovely atmosphere just like in Beirut. Definitely recommend!

I normally love this restaurant. Just delivered a few dishes home after a long trip. Samboussek were cold. Fatayer were cold and hard. Called the manager and all he would say is “next time ask for me and I will do something special”. If a...

Great ambiance and lovely staff, shoutout to Mr.Samir for always hosting us with a smile and making us feel at home. I have visited twice and both times were amazing. Try lots of their small plates/appetizers and then go for the shared big plate as...

This restaurant has great reviews so we decided to try it. The staff were welcoming and friendly. The restaurant was empty when we arrived so there was not much of an atmosphere. The food was served too quickly and our main courses arrived while we...

An amazing place to come and enjoy great Lebanese food with the family or as a couple - there was a demand for a proper Lebanese place in London and this is by far the best!

Lovely food friendly staff excellent service good selection of choices delicious food starts with magnificent we will be coming back for sure

I love a little Mezze, and this little gem at the beginning of Pont Street offers some delicious options. Unlike other Lebanese restaurants in this area, this one offers the option to have large tables, which is great for bigger groups.

Somos adeptos da comida saudável, e a libanesa te permite a fazer varias escolhas que tornam sua refeição bem saudável...

Delicious Lebanese food yet still of an unequal quality as the restaurant and the service continues to find its pace. Very good service with attentionate staff. Clearly has the potential to be the best Lebanese restaurant in London. Needs to get the extra mile in...

The place, the atmosphere and staff added much to the delicious food The company of 4 people enjoyed to the maximum all the plates however my suggestion is to try the chicken Taouk (mouth watering )

The service was great, nice decor, good selection of food. Very welcoming staff and servers. Food was good, slightly on the higher end price wise. Portions a bit small, but the taste is great.

Positives first. The restaurant is spacious and the staff were attentive and helpful. But the rating seems far too high for what was a very ordinary experience. The biggest disappointment was the flat bread. At most Lebanese restaurants this is a highlight - straight out...

I really enjoyed my evening here. The waiters were courteous and most helpful. The food was delicious and cooked well.

We were staying in the neighborhood and hungry without reservations for dinner. Luckily for us, this restaurant was fairly empty and we had a beautiful table by the window. The tabouli was fabulous- as was my husband's lamb. They had a very nice wine list...

مطعم عبدالوهاب لبناني اكل عربي مرتب لذيذ جدا راقي التعامل والمكان وهادي وفيه راحه الديكور والمكان يعطيهم العافيه

Visited this place for a late dinner with friends. Best Lebanese food in London. Waiters are very professional (especially Basel). A huge variety of food and desserts 😋.

We celebrated my husband's 40th b'day, with a group of friends at Abd El Wahab. The food was AMAZING, the service impeccable and the atmosphere just wonderful. The team made sure that it was an incredibly special evening including coordinating the surprise with me, being...

A wonderful dinner in this cozy restaurant, nested in quaint and posh Belgravia. An absolute delight! Even though we had only starters, they were equally exceptional. We wished we were hungrier for a more complete review of main dishes and hopefully we’ll be back for...

Abd el Wahab has always been a reference in fine Lebanese dining in Beirut. Their first foray into London comes as a much needed addition to the dull offering of the many established Lebanese restaurants. Beautifully executed, well presented, subtle luxurious decor, a true taste...

Went for lunch with friends.. great food and serves pretty fast too.. it’s busy so Better to book your seat and go.. I thought the service can be a little better.. Overall a good experience..

An elegant Lebanese restaurant, oozing with wonderful dishes and professional hospitality. It's certainly met my expectations for a top restaurant in Belgravia.

I booked this place for a lads dinner on a Friday evening. I had booked in advance and asked for the set menu. When we arrived, I was told my table was given away as they had my reservation down for 7pm vs. the 8pm...

London has a plethora of Lebanese restaurants so why go here versus Maroush? I guess for the marginally upscale room. Not for food or service for sure. Large room but was empty for a Monday lunch. They fill up the tables near the windows first,...

Went for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Excellent food but the slow inattentive service made the experience rather poor. May give them one more chance to see if we were just unlucky with the waiting staff.

This is an attractive restaurant in a upmarket part of London. The menu was good and the staff plentiful and very pleasant. Though I enjoyed my meal, I thought the main course and drinks (lemonade with mint) were expensive for what they were. The deserts...

Went for dinner on a Sunday evening. My dad requested this new Lebanese place. Didn’t know what to expect as I think maroush was always best for Lebanese food but I can now say this is my number one go to for Lebanese! It was...

Having visited before I knew what to expect and we got just that, A relaxing experience with nice staff away from the hustle and bustle of say Edgware Road. I'm pretty sure I will be back again ^_^

From the very first moment when we step inside this restaurant the staff was making sure to make us fell welcome and happy that we choose them. We had a small group of 5 people with 2 kids and we received a nice table with...

This is a chain that opened a London branch in March 2018. Excellent food, pleasant setting, and delightful service.

Abd el Wahab Lebanese Cuisine late night dining experience truly delicious food delightful staff and not London expensive! highly recommended
