It was a cool and rainy afternoon as my friend and I trapsed Walworth Road searching for a meal. I had seen this restaurant before and decided to give it a try. We were welcomed by a kind woman; the restaurant was empty but it was 3:30pm so not a peak hour. We both ordered chicken, eager to eat pretty much anything due to our famished state. To our great surprise, the food was INSANE like really reeeeaaaally good, and at a very reasonable price, too. I would highly recommend.

Stopped off here at lunch time as were were en route so where and v hungry. Great little find, we ordered mainly veggie (falafal, lentil dish, baba ganoush, spicy potato, vine leaves, cheese Zatar parcels ), tasty food, portions were great, we took some home, complimentary backlava. Very reasonably priced. Good find in Camberwell.

Esta fue la primera vez que fui a un restaurante libanés y ciertamente no será la última. Sinceramente, creo que BayRoot es un muy buen lugar para un pequeño grupo de amigos. Estuve allí el fin de semana y puedo decir que me sorprendió mucho. El personal me trató a mí y a mis amigos. El tamaño de la porción para lo que pedimos fue genial. Mezclar Shawarma sabía muy bien. Definitivamente fue una buena relación calidad-precio.

Chose to sit in for dinner instead of takeout. The place is tiny with hardly any decoration, but as there was only one table occupied, it was nicely quiet. Service was ok, food all in all tasty. Baba ganoush was excellent, falafel were really good, though I would have preferred them spicier, same goes for the cheese and zaatar parcels, but that's a personal opinion, as I am used to stronger flavours which might not be the case with other customers. I found the texture of the meat in the Lebanese mixed grill a bit too dry, especially the chicken. Price was more than fair.From what I hear restaurant is moving to a venue which is under construction at the moment, so ambience will probably be upgraded (let's hope prices will not).

£15.50 for grilled lamb kebab cubes, I thought it would be something special for this price but what i got was a very small portion of over cooked lamb that was not saved by the bread and rice that came with it. For that price salad should be included, and more food, or at least reduce the takeaway price. I wouldn't pay £5 from a street food stall for what I received. The red sauce was fine but the garlic mayo that came on the side was inedible.

Service was efficient although not particularly welcoming, Slightly pricey for establishment although not a Londoner so maybe ok.

A year after lackluster experience and having heard that there is a new management, we've decided to give a second change to Bayroot as we pass by it every day. What a change: the menu has been updates and every meal ( babaganush, tabular salad and kibbeh for starter and two different portions of chicken) were very well presented and tasted delicious. They served excellent selection of freshly squeezed juices and you can bring your own wine ( pay just for cork). The staff was very polite, attentive and efficient. We would definitely come back soon

Baba ganoush , humous , mousaka, boneless marinated chicken and fries were all perfect The Baba ganoush had the smokey flavour that you would expect.The boneless marinated chicken had an amazing flavour and was very moist.I had them as a take away, so here is a tip: the fries arrive always soggy, so put them on a preheated baking tray in the oven at 150 for 5 mn and then down to 50 until you are ready to eat. They will come out almost as perfect as in the restaurant.

Very average food, extremely overpriced, clearly a very greedy owner, it's not like the restaurant is in central London and has to pay high rent. I ordered the lamb kebab for £12,50, there were literally four small chunks of lamb, one tiny slice of courgette and a tiny bit of onion - a complete rip off. More worryingly, I am intolerant to gluten and told the waiter several times not to put bread in my order, and guess what? Yeah, there was bread there. If I had a severe allergy, this could be dangerous and I really think that if you work in a restaurant, you should be aware of common allergies. I definitely won't be ordering from here again!

Ordered here via Uber Eats. Food arrived promptly and was hot and well packed. I guess there is nothing specifically bad about the lamb kofta wrap but it wasn't especially juicy or tender and the wrap seemed not to be packed with the usual Lebanese array of pickle, salad and sauce that I've come to expect from some other establishments. The Kofta were quite small (nothing wrong with that) but weren't very moist on the inside and I suspect that they are fried earlier in the day and then re-fried to order rather than fresh from the mixture to order. Chips were fine. I think that there are better places but I can't complain too much as the whole order was £12.50.

The food was fantastic! Sea bass was deliciously well seasoned and came with the sweetest grilled onions and courgette. The falafels were freshly made and came with a exquisite sesame dipping sauce. My friends chicken brochette came with generous chunks of well seasoned not tiddly cubes and the tastiest saffron rice I've ever tasted. The juices were freshly pressed and a request for the addition of ginger to the mango was no bother. Highly recommend this restaurant to everyone and if he's not to busy the manager will happily chat with you about the food, location etc.

We've been here many times but gradually it has gone off. Previously pleasant caring staff now replaced by pleasant but very inexperienced versions. Most recent visit there were 5 of us and we ordered a lot of food yet got into a silly argument about what we could order off their menu (things are split into platters, plates, half versions, single pieces, etc). All too boring to go into but eventually waitress agreed that we could place a particular order... But told that if we came back that that "benevolence" would not be extended again. I replied that simpler would be that we don't come againFood was in some parts nice, some just ok... But... We were served some absolutely appalling steak. The loo doors still have a broken lock and have done for over 6 months despite us and others having suggested they might like to fix. They had the same thing a short while back with a broken front door that let icy air in and wasn't fixed for months. All in all, food less and less good each visit and seems to be being run into the ground. Shame... Won't be back...

Hi,Been here once just after it was opened and I did sort of enjoyed the vibe and food. Today I was back for lunch and I was horrid. Our table was dirty, loads of old food stuck in between wooden table gaps. We were sat by the windows and Windows seals were absolutely filthy with dust, hair and old food. This place need some better cleaning procedure. Food was ok I wasn't overly impressed but not worth the price at all - that's for sure. I have requested "no tahini" on my falafels yet one of the falafel was sprinkle with tahini... I spent over £20 just for lunch and I went straight away to Tesco next door to grab some food. Never again. It was the biggest mistake ever. I should have gone to La Luna - Italian restaurant literally next door where two course meal and free coffee stands at £7.90

Stayed in Elephant and Castle for the night and left our hotel to find food. We are so happy we found this place! It was quite busy but we were served quickly. A slightly confusing menu but the waitress was happy to explain it to us.I had the shawarma wrap with spicy potatoes and a side of halloumi (with salad and olives), while my boyfriend went for the whole boneless chicken with chips. It was outstanding! Everything that passes out lips was incredible. Fresh, tasty and a well seasoned burst of flavours. I particularly enjoyed the drag crispy salad and the garlic dip! What's great is that you can BYO. We didn't know this but it didn't matter. You are charged a 12.5% service charge but we were more than happy to pay it because we left feeling stuffed and it was only £27 between us, which we thought was cheap for the amount we ate! Would definitely recommend. I am a massive foodie and after an array of beautiful meals during our weekend stay in London, this was definitely the highlight! So glad we didn't go to the kebab place down the road...!

I ordered a mixed platter of lamb and chicken for takeaway. 13.50 pounds for 4+4 dice of meat and a 10 cm long sausage-like lamb. In the "plate" there was 1 big piece of aubergine + half onion + half tomato grilled, and cold pita. And that was it, no rice or salad whatsoever. In total it was less than 200g of meat.Chicken was overcooked , the lamb dice were great and the other lamb meat nothing special. I have been in many Mediterranean charcoal meat grill, and this was the most disappointing: average quality and stingy portions, in an area where I don't expect tourists or people from made in Chelsea, so if you don't serve the random customer properly, you ran out of people eating at your place. Disappointment was not reduced by the fact there were 5 people in the place and it took a while (15 min) to serve me. Nothing dramatically bad but nothing to add to the list of positive things.

Muy buenos platos a precio decente para ser Londres. Pedimos humous (muy bueno!), lamb meat balls y dos principales que estaban impresionantes, el chicken shawarma y chicken taouk. No es muy picante. La única pega es que el humo de la cocina se pasa a veces a las mesas.

I took my friend out for his birthday here last night. We went for starters and a platter. The falafel was perfectly crispy and delicious, the Baba Ganoush was well presented with a sprinking of pomegranate and mint leaves, the flavour nice and light and not as tahini-heavy as some I have tasted. The mezze-platter was equally as pleasing as the starters, I am fussy about squid if it is not really fresh, needless to say I wasn't let down. It was succulent without a hint of rubbery, the chilli sauce was medium hot and not overpowering. The halloumi was perfectly grilled and creamy, The merguez the right kind of spicy in order to taste all the ingredients as with the chilli sauce. Roasted vegetable were really good. Then came the desert which was comparable to a Middle-Easter Eton Mess. Greek yoghurt, strawberries, pomegranate, a sweet sauce (made from molasses I think - just a touch and topped with a homemade honeycomb. A medley of delicate flavours. Everything was delicious. Really nice friendly staff too and the atmosphere comfortable. Definitely going back

I ate at this restaurant this evening with my husband and son. We walked in without a reservation. The restaurant was more or less fully booked but the friendly staff gave us one of their few free tables and we were seated very quickly. The menu has a good range of meat and vegetarian dishes at very reasonable prices. We nipped out for a bottle of wine as they don't sell alcohol and charge minimal corkage (my son had mango juice!). The food came quickly and was delicious. I would recommend the lamb shawarma, the spiced sea bass, the baba ganoush and the corn on the corb. Everything was top notch and the bill for the three of us came to less than £50. An excellent neighbourhood find.

Having been to this restaurant several times since it opened, it's great to see (and taste!) that the quality has not wavered in the slightest. I have tried most of the menu now and the quality really is superb. Very fresh ingredients, and everything done with an additional bit of flair. From Merguez sausages served with a delicious sweet pomegranate sauce, to Halloumi served with a generous courgette and mushroom salad. Not to mention the lemon and thyme chicken, which is sensational! My only recommendation is that the shawarma is not up to the same standard as the rest of the menu, and is somewhat plain and dry.The owner is obviously very passionate, and also gave us some free baklava on our last visit. This is a fantastic restaurant.

The food was delicious, I recommend the mixed platter and the corn on the cob. The staff were helpful and friendly. The restaurant has a great vibe and is open late and the prices are fair. We'll definitely be returning. And they serve fresh mint tea! I was so pleased when it arrived and it wasn't a tea bag. A lovely end to the meal.

Bay Root is a firm favourite local restaurant - I have never had anything but a wonderful experience over my many visits since it opened. Reasonably priced, BYOB with a small corkage charge and a menu of mostly grilled meats and hot and cold mezze makes it a great place to enjoy some wonderful Lebanese food with a glass of wine. The service has been very friendly on every occasion and the interior is miles better than most other restaurants on Walworth Rd/Camberwell Rd - a good spot to impress someone with, or to enjoy a quiet meal out.

We came to Bay Root for our anniversary as we wanted somewhere local that was affordable and tasty.It was really busy when we arrived and it took a while to be seated which was fine as it's a small venue and seems popular.The food was delicious and arrived promptly. I love the tomato/chilli sauce and could've quite easily eaten the table with that sauce.We could hardly move we ate so much. A bit of advice though it's BYO but there is not a good bottle store nearby so get something on your way.Thanks

I've lived in and around the Walworth road for about 15 years and it has been an absolute 'Black-hole' in regards to any good restaurants…..unless you like Mcdonalds, fried chicken and bad kebabs, which i don't and would avoid like the black plague.I've just moved back into my fat after five years, and whilst the Walworth Road has in many ways remained the same (apart from the massive destruction of really awful tower blocks!!) , i've noticed more and more restaurants pop up to deal with the influx of people who want proper food to eat. I don't mean to sound snobbish but it's true!!I was glad that i popped into Bay Root as the food, service and restaurant atmosphere was all very good and i will definitely be going back. Is it a proper lebanese restaurant? Probably not but the food it serves is really nice.If there was one point of criticism/personal taste that i'd mention is that even though my lamb was lovely it was slightly over marinated/flavoured. Maybe just dial the flavours back a smidgen and not overload it. Apart from that i had a lovely meal

They start you off with complimentary lentil soup. So delicious, we knew the rest of the meal was going to be great. We ordered labneh and pickled beets as starters. It came with really nice flatbread with sesame seeds. My husband even liked the labneh, something he can usually take or leave. We devoured everything else too: foul medames (fava beans) fried halloumi, fattoush salad and chicken kebab. Even had leftovers for the next day. Service was good, would definitely go back.

We shared 5 mezze between 2 which was probably slightly too much. It’s expensive but the food is good and the portions deceptively large. I particularly recommend the hummus and spinach pastries. 4*s because it would be better if they offered vegan dessert.
