Al Hamra in City of London, Westminster

Food was excellent! Great variety so picked multiple dishes for the table to share.

Excellent restaurant, beautiful and distinguished Arab service

We ate a very delicious dinner with Hilsha-fish it was really authentic and Bithy Aapu served us she’s very kind really appreciate it🤗

Beautiful restaurant, delicious meal and excellent service. Will happily dine here again.

It was good because his level declined

I’ve been going to Al Hamra for decades, it’s always a good experience with high quality of food and service. The prices have gone up, I can accept that but what is unacceptable is that the portions have shrunk!! Mixed grill and a bit of rice was £32 for 12 tiny cubes of mixed lamb & chicken and the humous bowl is now a humous tea cup. Bring back the food guys!!

Great appetizers. They have made serving a craft here. The servers take pride in their work and I felt like I was being taken care of in a genuine way. Like they truly cared. The main courses are huge and delicious but the kebab I ordered could have been hotter.

The restaurant specializing in Lebanese food is located in the Mayfair area The quality of the food is excellent and the place is quiet, but the drawback is that the tables in the place are crowded My recommendations Nabula and Fattoush 10/9 Grape leaves liked the people with me Excellent free fries and quite spicy 8/10 Kibbeh 10/8 Mixed grill mix and kebab khashkhash dish, the taste is very delicious 9/10 The service is very excellent, and I advise those in London to try it, and the prices are moderate to somewhat high.

I never ever gave 1 star rating for a food venue in London. Here is why this is ONE STAR ONLY. Number one in any hospitality venture is the location, so we give five stars for it. Then comes the concept: five stars as well. I have never met anyone who did not like Lebanese food. I am happy to assume that there a few people in this category. Number 3 on the list is management. And here is where it all starts. The food was good, it is so difficult to mess up Mediterranean food. I would say you have to be a fool to make a mess in the kitchen. It is not a cuisine as such, it is good quality homely type family food. To resume: a very good location, great concept for food. It was a nice day in the summer, I enjoyed every second of it. What was interesting, was the bill, £70 for two - in 2017 prices. No drinks, even soft drinks. Lunch was made of two portions of humus, one falafel dish and some green leaves. I was charged some ‘imaginary’ table cover! But I was not imagining, it was on the bill, ‘table cover’. What is this about? Do you think you are in Roma, or Paris? You are not serious, are you. I could have challenged the management and not pay it. I am not the type. Web 2.0 gives the power to ‘the people’. Therefore, I would like to share my story with ‘the people’, I believe that it will be fair. This is for those who actually do take the time to read the reviews. If you want to feel disappointed and cheated rather than elated and happy when you leave the food place after a meal. This is the place to go. (Went back to ‘review my review’ a few months back, no comments from the owners.)

Cozy and nice place to enjoy shisha

Al Hamra Restaurant serves delicious and authentic Lebanese food with a great menu offering a wide variety of choices. However, the staff could be more friendly, and it's quiet expensive.

Delicious food with a great atmosphere.

A culinary and cultural experience! We asked for guidance as it was our first time in a Lebanese restaurant and they dis not disappoint!! Great food, great service and great atmosphere!

Most delicious food and service!

Very good food and service should visit immediately

One of the best Lebanese restaurants i have been to. Very authentic, great service and can’t wait to go back

Great dinning experience, amazing food, great service, vey kind staff. Highly recommend to London visitors and locals alike.

I believe I have been to enough places in London to know that this is the kind of restaurant which makes me Regret getting out of the house and Wasting Time and Money. Service was very unpleasant, the atmosphere was dead, food was way too expensive for the offered quality and quantity, the salads came pre seasoned, and they were ridiculously vinegary. BE VERY VERY CAREFUL, THE PRICES ARE A LIE, AND THE QUALITY IS MISLEADING! Food felt like it was microwaved, dry, unproperly, and unprofessionally seasoned. I felt like I was hosted by some distant relsrives that did not want me there. Very regrettable!

Fantastic food and great service

Request a copy of the invoice The service is very excellent Prices are above average

Superb in every way, I cannot recommend highly enough. 👍👍👍👍👍😋

Absolutely superb 👌 Great food. Myself and my partner had a selection of small playea rather than the main meals and that was plenty for us. Delicious 😋 Menu said it was widely regarded as one of the best Lebanese in London. Can well believe it from our experience! Recommend it!

The worst experience I've ever had! The treatment was very bad and disrespectful, and they forced me to pay the service fees even though I had the right to refuse according to British law. I have the invoice and proof of what happened. Frankly, exploitation and disrespect for the customer, I do not advise anyone to go to them. Absolute worst experience! Rude and disrespectful staff forced me to pay a service charge despite my legal right to refuse. I have proof and the receipt to back this up. Unacceptable behavior that exploits customers. Avoid this place at all costs

Very delicious restaurant The staff and service are professional 👍😍 Don't miss it Fattoush was ordered And lentil soup And mixed chicken grills 😍

Nice food, slightly overpriced, to be expected given the location

The starters were good, the main courses were tasty but not exceptional The atmosphere in the place is stiff Very expensive

Had a wonderful family meal here with 9 people including 2 toddlers. The food was fabulous and authentic with wonderful service from the waiters. The bill was 460 which was very reasonable considering the amount we had ordered.

Food quantity is so low in one person plate. Moreover it is too expensive. They served grill lamb minced kebeb half for one person that is ridiculous. Overall, was not a good experience.

We had dinner there twice. The food was delicious and clean. The staff were friendly. We ordered delicious lentil soup and grilled chicken. The chicken was tender and had a sweet taste.

We were a party of 18. We let the restaurant select the starters and mains. We had the house white and red (Lebanese), perfect with the food. Highly recommended. Thank you.

The place is very nice and I highly recommend it to families The grills were very delicious The grape leaves were not at the expected level Frex somewhat good The staff is treated with the utmost respect and I will visit again

The service is excellent and the value is delicious. An amount was added to the bill in addition to the service fee. Upon inquiry, they mentioned that it is a company fee and is added to the bill and according to the number of people. It was not explained before sitting down.

Excellent restaurant, very polite and accommodating staff, very good Lebanese wine

Nice experience with the lovely restaurant.Will try more.

Always a great experience and food.

Paramos aquí para una comida para dos el domingo pasado y ambos optaron por el mixto Pollo y cordero shawarma nosotros Me encantó un plato fantástico.

Amazing!! The best of the best! A must try when in London , authentic and great everything.

Fabuloso y amable! Maravillosos entrantes y platos principales, disfrutamos especialmente de las ensaladas, queso halloumi y platos principales a la parrilla. El equipo es capaz de adaptarse a los desafíos del gluten / dietéticos, que marcaron la diferencia para disfrutar de fabulosos sabores libaneses. Muy recomendable!

Great food. Helpful with gluten free items

Very pleasant dinner, it was the first time in a Lebanese restaurant. All excellent dishes, very attentive and helpful staff. Also great for shisha enthusiasts. Highly recommended!! I will definitely come back.

If you want to taste the best Lebanese dining in town this is where you’ll get it. Ticks every box plus they cater for all dietary needs. Service is always with a smile & if it’s not on the menu they will endeavour to find it. We will be back :)

Very crazy 😍 Grills and shisha and no mistake

A wonderful restaurant with exceptional service and the most fresh foods. We had an amazing meal, trying almost everything on the menu. Highly recommend. 😁

Lovely place, nice staff, just the food portion a bit small and can be more generous you would be perfect

The restaurant is clean and comfortable, the food is delicious and service is excellent! It is totally out of our expectations! Highly recommend!👍👍👍

The staff was really rude. He was racist and rather than welcoming the guest , he first wanted to highlight that there is a minimum spend amount per person. Honestly, we did go to noura and probably ended up spending almost the minimum amount. It was just the way he spoke, which made us feel unwelcomed and we left the restaurant immediately.

Delicious food and good service (the restaurant is small)

Very nice restaurant and excellent food. Nice atmosphere. Very courteous service. Excellent presentation of food and complimentary sides. Highly recommend.

The best Lebanese restaurant in London The quality of food is amazing. The service is extraordinary.

The most delicious restaurant in you, you two

La comida es de alta calidad, el ambiente es perfecto Excelente experiencia y esas cosas son muy amables Todo lo mejor para alhamra restaurante

Tourist trap 101: horrendously overpriced microwaved food. The stonebread served with hummus is for bricklaying, which is why it's not a flatbread. You can order new dentures after that culinary experience. To add further insult to the rip-off experience, they bring a "cover charge" to your bill of £2.5 per person just for sitting in their exquisite restaurant, in addition to a 12.5% surcharge. It's, as they said, "all mentioned on the menu", because yeah, that's what menus are for now, software like terms and conditions pages from a lawyer's office. This cover charge was especially welcome as they blasted a blender in the background for that extra special fine dining touch. Don't get me started on the the rest of the food quality and taste and if you can justify 30 quid for a plate of hospital grade shish tawuk, go right ahead, just book with a dentist first.

Prices are exaggerated. They charge two and a half pounds for every person who says to reserve a table!!

They charge two and a half pounds per person, and the prices are very high, and they charge a high amount for the service, which is not worth the food, frankly.

One of my favourite restaurants in London! Never disappoints, food and staff are amazing with a great location.

No se recomienda en absoluto. Terrible, muy muy caro en relación a la calidad y cantidad de alimentos. Cargos adicionales inexplicables.

A wonderful restaurant with Arabic meals Grilled appetizers I liked it

To be honest, the food is nice, but the free fries are bad. The boneless chicken was delicious, the mixed grill was delicious, and the service is bad because they sit for half an hour to answer our order, and the food is expensive, but worth the try.

Awful experience. Can’t recommend to anyone.

Delicious taste and excellent service, but the prices are high and the location is difficult to find

They took 2 hours and 30 minutes to finish my order but they forgot the fries , the food was so dry and cold and it was very expensive tough I only order hot dog , tea , omelet, hummus , sakshuka and 3 apple juice and the total was 120 pound don’t waste your money and time.

There is no other place better than Al Hamra in London for Lebanese food period

Abu Youssef is a wonderful and very commendable person. A wonderful place that makes you feel calm and luxurious in London

Fantastic food. Best Lebanese in London

Not particularly recommended. In a wealthy area, fast food is disguised as decent homemade food. The service is close to rude, and they try to make you order more food than what you consider is adequate. Everything is precooked and overheated. It's expensive but not prohibited, anyway, go to any street food and you won't find the difference.

I put it on the list on the basis of its falsehood, but what my Lord wrote, and perhaps there is something good in the matter. God willing, I will visit it live. I will try it and give you my opinion.

The food is clean and nice, and the atmosphere is nice, but the food was late

Disapointing! It looks like all the food was frozen or canned and warm up. No taste. And quite pricy at the end

A disrespectful place, especially one of the employees who behaves in a manner that is not good at all I do not recommend it at all

I don't know why the rating is 4 This only begins with 1 For your information, it is very easy to raise the rating of any store This restaurant is bad I swear the grills, rice and potatoes taste bad The behavior of the staff is very bad Except one member of the Egyptian community They treat you with superiority Very bad restaurant The place is worse and the place is filled with the smell of shisha

It was a failed experience for a well-known restaurant with a good reputation. The food was old and not fresh and the meat smelled bad. and The price was very exaggerated.

The service is excellent, and the food is very delicious, Lebanese food is in its original form 👌🏼 and the place is clean and tidy, it requires reservations, and is suitable for people with special needs, but I think the bathroom is in the basement ♿️ The vegetable bowl is served at the beginning as a welcome.

Hummus is excellent, as is okra, mixed grill 80%, grape leaves with meat 80%, rice with grill 85%, potatoes 95%. Comes with the order. Unfortunately, the main request was waited for more than half an hour Cost 130 Provides a delicious hospitality pudding

A wonderful restaurant in every way Special thanks to Professor Bassam for his courteous treatment

Really lovely restaurant great food especially the fillet of lamb and great service would highly recommend

The restaurant is excellent in every way. Mr. Bassam Raqi is classy and has excellent manners

Best restaurant in London, the food is superb, exceptional and fantastic, service was exceedingly outstanding, Staff member Ahmed was amazing when I was in the restaurant. Exceptional, Outstanding, Superb, Fantastic restaurant must go 100%. You are missing out by not going.

It is one of the most beautiful restaurants in London and I advise everyone to go to it for a decent riyal and the workers are very respectful 🤍

Terrible experience. Made us wait for over 45 minutes for our main course and then told us that the order had been cancelled . We then saw the neighbouring table eating what was ours! Very disappointing. Tried to make up by giving us free dessert!

Great place for family to have dinner . The food is amazing. We had only starters and appetizers. It was more than enough. Highly recommend if you’re in Town

Good food, wonderful reception, and amazing shisha, may God bless them ❣️

Delicious food, great service and very place to eat

They charge crazy money £48.1.50 food rubbish owner is not very good person stealing money from people

Very expensive for empty, the kibbeh was dripping with oil One molasses costs about 250 riyals

The restaurant is beautiful and wonderful, and I wanted to return to it more than once, but I canceled this idea after I found out that they charge 2.5 pounds per person to enter the place 😁 and I was inside a park or a tourist site, and I consider this to be exploitation, and I will address the relevant authorities with the bill.

First time we ate here was in 2009. We came back in 2024 and brought our kids. It was better than we remembered. Everything is delicious and my kids are their entire meals! Highly recommend!

Good food overall. Everything was nice. Halloumi was especially very good.

Under whelming atmosphere and very average food. The staff are snobby and make you feel unwelcome.

Great food with very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Mahmoud was very funny and made our meal great, he gave us recommendations for what meals to get.

Food was excellent and so was the service. Our server Mahmoud was very friendly and provided great service. Definitely would recommend.

Fabulous meal and fabulous service from Mahmud! Starters and main meal were delicious. We hope to return again from South Africa and Scotland.

Very good service & delicious food ♥️♥️

Excellent authentic Lebanese food with a ton of vegetarian options. A lot of fresh salads and dips. The cherry on the cake is the fresh balloon bread they serve alongside the food. Would really recommend the lentil soup as well as it was super tasty. The ingredients were super fresh and definitely a meal to repeat.

I had such an amazing time there. The food was unbelievably delicious I could not get enough, I can’t forget the amazing service that team showed me from start to finish! Definitely coming back soon. The prices are so affordable and it’s a lovely destination in the heart of central London.🤩🤩🤩

LET ME START OFF BY SAYING I AM LEBANESE AND KIBBEH SAYNIEH IS A FOOD I KNOW HOW TO MAKE HOWEVER WHEN I BOUGHT THIS IS CAME STINKY, DISGUSTING AND RAW. IT TASTES SO OLD THAT ITS LIKE IT WAS MADE A YEAR AGO AND PUT IN THE MICRO WAVE I AM WARNING YOU TO NOT BUY FROM THIS SMELLY AND VERY BAD RESTAURANT

It was very good! The staff was very friendly. Like the food was top notch. Large selection and sufficient choice of dishes.

delivered to wrong address who called me carry bag soiled and broken, delivered to wrong address and an item is missing, another incorrect item missing

We ordered mix grill Halloumi drum Zaatar manakish Plain hummus The food is delicious and clean, the service is excellent, and the prices are average There are outdoor sessions for those who order shisha The employees are mostly Arabs and are extremely cooperative

Interesting touches make this place worthwhile. Food is fundamentally good
