Al Waha in City of London, Westminster

Food was authentic and delicious. Service was also impeccable. Yasser was great!

Had a very nice meal. The starters and meat kebabs were especially good.

Very friendly family-run restaurant. The menu choice was very good. The food was also very good. The mezze were delicious. The main courses were good although the meat was generally a little over-cooked so a bit dry. But overall a very nice restaurant.

Great experience, the food was fresh and tasty, and our host Yasser was friendly and attentive.

Exemplary hospitality and tasty cooking.

the food is always excellent; and the service pleasant and competent without being unctuous.

Plats bons et copieux quantité suffisante Cher, surtout les boissons Sérieux trop insistant

Great place Best Lebanese food served in London by far.

Yasser & Harb made us feel immediately welcome in this wonderful Lebanese restaurant. We asked for a selection of hot & cold starters for 5 of us and we had a taste sensation feast with wonderful Lebanese house wine followed by puddings all washed down with mint tea. Fabulous night, a great find. We will be back and thank you

We received a warm welcome from the staff. Clean environment. Given olives as we perused the menu. Food was tasty and a good portion. Would recommend 👌

A kitchen and a family place, such a pleasant culinary moment... to really discover

Long overdue review. We were stuck in London overnight and decided to venture into the city to have dinner and we chose Al-Waha. We are so happy we did. The staff is so friendly, we really felt at home. And the plants… the plants everywhere are so amazing and lovely. I love that they keep propagating them, it just makes the space feel so welcoming. Ok - and the food. The food was excellent! I had such a nice sea bass, I’ve never had a sauce like that. I ate the whole thing even though I wasn’t feeling hungry after a full day of flying. I also needed a copy of our receipt which we misplaced and they were able to send it to me. Top notch, highly recommend.

A very nice restaurant, delicious food and lovely service. Yasser and his colleagues are excellent at welcoming guests. Service is efficient and everyone was very kind, including other customers because Yasser’s warm sense of humour and the amazing food puts everyone immediately in a great mood.

We prebooked for7.30 on a Sat night and had a quiet table for two with a nice atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive, had a nice humour and gently helping with menu selections. The food was wonderful, we had the meze, selecting 6 dishes which was enough for two. It also came with fresh crudités and olives and plenty of Lebanese bread with the meal. Good wine. I'd definitely go again.

Lovely restaurant with great food, friendly service and good Lebanese wine.

Food is so fresh and authentic! The lamb yoghurt dish was a new taste to us and the grilled chicken was very juicy!! The staff are absolutely fantastic and so humorous, we loved it all. They also give free things like the salad and the little pastries!!

The Mezze options are all delicious, service is excellent. This was our second time coming and it won’t be our last!

Best falafel in London, and Yasser is a charming and hilarious host

Great food! Unique service. Yasser and the team made us feel comfortable and taken care of

Delicious meal, brilliant service from Yasser and his colleagues

Lovely meal, especially the mezze options, and terrific service from Yasser!

Great and friendly service - especially Yasser and team.

Amazing food and lovely service! Thanks Yasser!

Service was great, food was lovely

The food is very good with lovely staff, can definitely recommend!

I had an amazing dinner at Al Waha. I took the hummus with pine nuts, which I really loved, and then the mixed grill. The meat is really tasty and everything has very good flavour. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Really recommend it!

Excellent food and fabulous service! Would recommend!

Delicious food and relaxed atmosphere

10/10 Lebanese food, great prices and super-friendly staff. Felt like eating a home-cooked meal, rather than dining in a pretentious restaurant. Would highly recommend and will for sure come back.

One of the heartiest meals in London with great service and pleasant ambience. Special thanks to Hharb, who was very kind and great at service. Thank you !

Des plats excellents. Un accueil chaleureux et sympathique

Fantastic there isn’t a better Lebanese restaurant

One of the best and most prestigious ancient Lebanese restaurants. The flavor in the food, God willing, is very delicious and the beautiful Lebanese atmosphere is a beautiful experience and a visit that will be repeated, God willing. Thank you to the staff.

The food was excellent, as always, the service was friendly and efficient (as always) and the ambiance is cozy. There is a reason I have been going there for over 20 years.

The food was incredible and the staff were lovely - would highly recommend

Amazing food and very friendly service. Highly recommend.

Great place! H Harb was our water, he made our night and gave great recommendations on food.

Went on a date night with my friend and truly enjoyed the experience - the place, the service and the food was 5*. Would highly recommend and come back again. The baclava was heavenly and we even got a little top up.

Excellent value for money and a nice relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended.

The atmosphere was nice, and the staff were attentive and helpful - making sure that you were happy with your meal and that you had everything you needed. The food and wine were nice too.

Amazing staff and superb food! Highly recommend. I really enjoyed the vegetable bowl they served at the beginning of the meal. I would definitely go back. Thank you a lovely meal.

My favourite place in London for Lebanese/Syrian food - very fresh ingredients and friendly people. Very friendly people to, including Mr Harb!

Excelente cocina libanesa en un local agradable en Notting Hill. Ambiente acogedor y tranquilo y atención muy amable.

We've been coming to Al Waha for years - it never fails to delight. The staff are always welcoming, the food fresh and delicious and the atmosphere warm and friendly.

This is a reliably excellent and friendly restaurant. It’s old-fashioned in just the right way.

We came here spontaneously on a Saturday afternoon and had a delicious, filling meal with really personal service.

Beautiful restaurant with delicious food and very friendly staff.

Amazing food here. I was really impressed. The portions are also quite generous. Have eaten out a fair amount in this area, and this is my favorite so far

Found this place on a walk. It was a lovely atmosphere. The food is authentic and tastes great. Our sever was Yasser and he was great.

Food was great! Falafel and moutabel were my favorite.

Went for a family birthday, food was amazing. We chose vegetarian meze options which were lovely. Waiter was very funny and a good laugh. Would highly recommend this restaurant

Delicious food and gracious staff. I highly recommend!

Our host Yasser was lovely. Gave good food recommendations. The atmosphere was very cozy

Delicious food and great service (and food recommendations) from Yasser!

We tried AlWaha on our first night in London. This is our first time to try Lebanese cuisine and everything was incredible! The spices were unique experience to us, but all of them were delicious. The hospitality was also amazing. Rakan was so kind to us that we could spend a comfortable time here :D

Amazing food and service! Yasser was incredible and very thoughtful. Will be returning.

Very hospitable and excellent food

GREAT SERVICE I LOVE THEM WOOOOOOOOO

Incredible food. The owners are so kind and welcoming. The food came in a timely manner and was incredibly fresh. The falafel was so crispy and I loved the labne. Salad was perfectly seasoned and so fresh. Such a wonderful experience. Amazing Lebanese food.

Very authentic Lebanese.. the humus kaverma and baby chicken were absolutely amazing

We loved the overall experience. Ordered a hummus with lamb for starters and boneless chicken, mixed grill for mains. Taste, presentation, ambience will definitely reel us back in soon

I was really taken aback with the level of care and attention that all at Al Waha took with our dinner last night. The food was amazing, and the service was perfect. Thank you for making our Birthday/Anniversary so special!

Delicious dinner, kind and friendly staff, right portions, excellent quality/price. One of the best Lebanese restaurants I've tried!

It was a perfect day and everything was great. Fresh food and friendly people and I recommend it definitely with its quiet atmosphere ❤️🌸

Loved it! Delicious food and very kind staff! If you’re debating, definitely come

Falafels were delicious. Would also recommend the Farrouj Mussahab: a full baby chicken covered in a flavoursome lemon-and-herby buttery marinade, spatchcocked and chargrilled. We weren't as impressed with the mixed grill. The meat was tough and slightly lacking in flavour. Overall not bad but you can get much better Lebanese in this price range in London. Very friendly service, and relaxed atmosphere. Make you feel at home. Decor is nice and toilets very clean.

We went to Grilandia, early New Year, so everything is still quiet quite. We weee looking for a small bite to eat, but unsure what to have. With the assistance of a wonderful server Hassan , who suggests a beautiful mix mezze. It was so good that we ended up, not only having the mezze but a main and a sweet. The food was well presented on-time, but more importantly delicious. We left stuffed, in a wonderful way, with the help of our amazing server Hassan. Thank you Recommended !

A real discovery. Cozy, clean and well-furnished restaurant with an intimate atmosphere. As soon as we arrived, Yasser welcomed us, kind and attentive, and offered us a vegetable dip. We took an exceptional mix of starters (beiruti hummus, fattoush and spicy potatoes) and on Yasser's recommendation a grilled chicken with garlic sauce (exquisite and abundant dish) and a mix of grilled meat. Typical Lebanese desserts and an excellent Italian espresso coffee concluded the sumptuous meal. Highly recommended!

Lovely restaurant with friendly staff. Child friendly atmosphere and Yassin provided great service. Highly recommended and the food is great I had Seabass that was fresh and delicious.

We went to Al Waha and had the best Lebanese food ever! We were also tampered by our lovely waiter Yasser who helped us as well fully indulging into the Lebanese cuisine. We fully recommend Al Waha and hope that Yasser is your waiter as well.

Amazing service by H Harb very caring and good service thank you

Great food and Mr H Harb was very hospitable and welcoming made us feel at home

Amazing food and atmosphere on new years eve

Amazing food, even better service and atmosphere

Highly recommend every dish is most delicious than the other one .. if you come to London and you didn't try this restaurant you lost a lot

Very very nice staff. Very funny and welcoming. The food is great and authentic. 1000/10 experience.

The cuisine is delicious. I recommend this restaurant if you want to travel a little :). Thank you to the restaurant team for their professionalism.

Very good Lebanese food, nice service, generous portions, very fresh meals.

Very good food and the atmosphere is great. Nice for a date night.

The place, the food and the people here are amazing! Wasser was so kind and lovely

Nice atmosphere, friendly and witty service, and delicious food!

Amazing service by yasser. The pine nut hummous was outstanding!

An incredible culinary experience, the hummus with its bed of olive oil delighted my taste buds. Emulions of eggplant, grilled meat, chickpeas and Lebanese bread, all in a friendly atmosphere, I recommend.

Highly recommended 👌 the best restaurant in London

An excellent place. Was warmly welcomed and looked after the entire evening. Food was so delicious and everything went well. Yasser made sure we had a great experience. Thank you and we will definitely be back again!

Absolutely amazing food and service from Yasser. I would highly recommend. Will likely be popping in again tomorrow before leaving London! Thanks for an amazing meal.

Excellent food and very friendly service. Definitely recommend. Thanks Yasser for all the recommendations.

Huge fan of this spot! Went last year on our trip to London and knew we had to come back this year. The food is spectacular, and it's a lovely, quiet atmosphere. The whole team is great, and Yasser is such a welcoming host. Cannot recommend enough.

Our friends invited us to their favourite local and it was a wonderful suggestion. I love Lebanese food bur this was exceptional, perfect balance of ingredients, spices, flavours. Congratulations to the chef. Very good service and a bit of humour thrown in. Hope to visit soon

In London for 4 nights. Ate here twice. Food outrageously good. Never eaten Lebanese food before. I am hooked! Fresh, delicious, Zingy flavours, beautifully presented. Generous portions and lovely sweet treats to take away after raving about the Baklava - I want to go back now! Charming hosts a truly wonderful experience.

In a town full of good Lebanese food, Al Waha is the best. The whole menu is amazing, and the staff will make you feel like you're in the warmest Arabic home. If you're lucky, Yasser will keep you laughing. There truly are not enough stars to rate this place highly enough.

I wanted to introduce my wife to Lebanese food as I have always enjoyed it. I am so pleased Al Waha was nearby, I cannot praise this restaurant enough. The service was wonderful, Warm, friendly and attentive. They helped us pick a mezze selection and the food was divine. If you are in the area I highly recommend making a booking!

The food was proper lebanese for sure! Babaghanous and the falafels were amazing (and this is coming from someone who does not really like falafel). The service was wonderful and we had an excellent recommendation for the wine from the waiter.

We decided to try AlWaha on our last night in London. We were staying in Notting Hill and were looking for a small, locally owned place for a quiet, casual dinner. It was wonderful. The gentlemen working there were so hospitable and wanted everyone to enjoy their dining experience. We felt so doted upon, and kept saying, if we lived there, we would dine at AlWaha all the time. And the food…. Oh my gosh!! Everything we ordered was so delicious!! 2 days later, we are still talking about the feta cheese salad and the Kafta with yogurt and pine nuts!!

Excellent food and very kind staff. Recommended for its kind of cuisine. The main drawback is its lack of space, making seating not that comfortable.

It was amazing. The good was delicius and the waiter, Harb, was so so nice. I'll come again

In a sea of average Lebanese joints, this place really stands out! Great reviews for a reason - food was excellent from mezze to main, and you can’t ask for a better host than Yasser. Shukran

Went to this Lebanese restaurant several times and will continue to do so . Food is great and service is exceptional .

Very warm and welcoming place, delicious food (outstanding apple juice too) and lovely staff. Came for lunch and stayed until dinner time 😌 thank you

Fantastic food and Yasser was the perfect host, making great recommendations :) can't miss the special hummus.
