Delicious food and excellent service by Dhruv and Kaushal. They both went above and beyond to make our day special

It was green place to experience good food .. Dhruv have been very nice 🙂

Very good service and excellent food and ambience

Delicious food and exceptional customer service. Dhruv did a fantastic job in recommending vegetarian meals from the menu.

Amazing food and service like ALWAYS! Dhruv took care of the service and was such a peach.

I always have a lovely time, though it was very busy everyone was super quick and polite. Especially Kaushal and Manjhiri were extraordinary. The food and vibe was perfect

The festive Lamb & Tahina Tarator was delicious. Thank you to Prathmesh and the team for a great lunch

Great atmosphere. Very tasty food. And extremely helpful staff and kitchen who were able to cater for my (temporary) eating challenges by providing puréed food. Sanchi’s service was fantastic.

Amazing service and mouth watering food. Dhruv and Kaushal were really accommodating.Definitely recommended

Food was so good I got the mixed grill and my friend got the chicken taouk, it was cooked to perfection and seasoned perfectly, even the salad was nice and I don’t even like salad. Harsh was our server and he was very mindful and considerate.

quick service thank you Mohit for beautiful lunch.

Mohit and Sanchi were fantastic. Food was great!!

This has become my favourite restaurant, it truly is an experience. The food and presentation is incredible, best Lebanese cuisine I have ever experienced before and the service is always amazing, staff are very attentive and friendly. The restaurant itself has a great atmosphere. We have been here 5 times and never been disappointed. I recommend the Lamb Kofta!

Great restaurant, beautifully decorated. Food is absolutely delicious and the service is fantastic. Never a long wait and the waiters always check back on the table. My partner and I have now become regulars. We love the atmosphere and the middle Eastern vibe and flavours. Highly recommend.

The food and ambience was really nice. Harsh and Dhruv gave a really nice service to us and were very sweet.

My friend and I came here for a quick pre theatre dinner a couple of weeks ago and we were so impressed by both the food and the service. The staff were so helpful and attentive, especially Prathmesh, and the food was just wonderful: very fresh, tasty and plentiful! It was really good value considering the prime riverside location, and we’ll definitely come here again. Thank you!

The food was not delivered. No driver turned up. After almost 2hrs of waiting, the restaurant called me 3 times & asked me to collect it myself. After I collected it the delivery driver arrived at the restaurant (2hrs after the order was placed) & called me saying it wasn’t fair that he didn’t get paid & asked for my 4 digit number. This is shocking service & behaviour from your service & driver. The food was cold & dry. I haven’t received the delivery or the food. Full refund requested

Best coucos ever! Great food and ambience

Top Kingston Riverside restaurant! Excellent food and friendly service. Never fails! Thanks Harish 👍🏼

Had a lovely lunch, service and food were excellent!

Lovely relaxed atmosphere, great food and attentive service

Served by sanchi in a proper manner

Awesome food and great service.

After a long day at work it felt like a relaxing evening. The food was amazing. The atmosphere and vibe of the place was really unique. The service by Parthamesh stood out the most. He recommended us great vegetarian dishes and checked on us if the food was good or not later. It really felt amazing to be treated so kindly. Thank you !!!🙏🏼

Good food and nice environment. Prices are reasonable.

Food was amazing and specially the rice bowl with falafal was delicious Service given by kaushal make us more comfortable and friendly Thank you

The service at this restaurant was exceptional. Drue and Beni were attentive and friendly,and made us feel welcomed.Is rare to find such genuinely warm and efficient service.

I usually don’t write reviews, but my recent lunch at Comptoir Libanais in Kingston deserves a mention. The food was good, but what really stood out was the exceptional service. The two gentlemen, Beny and Moeet, were fantastic—they made sure we were well looked after from start to finish. My nephew has a food allergy, and they went above and beyond to ensure everything was safe for him, checking in on us a few times to make sure everything was perfect. It’s rare to find staff who genuinely care, and they made our experience memorable. Highly recommend for both the food and the outstanding service!

Wonderful and Hamsh was the perfect host!! We will be back!!

Brilliant food! Lovely staff and atmosphere.

Top notch Service by friendly Team. We will definitely come back….

Manjiri service is too good and friendly with incredible food just love it i recommend to all london to come here with promo #moneel

Stopped for lunch while in Kingston for the day and was impressed by how good the food and service was. It’s an extensive menu with lots of options from sharing plates to tagines as well as burgers etc with a Lebanese twist. Helpful and friendly staff who went out of their way to make us feel welcome. If you’re in Kingston definitely worth a visit and we will certainly return - highly recommended!

I’ve been here a few times and i always come back evertime i come to kingston. My favourite location opposite the river 🤩 Harsh is very friendly and kind he is very professional and helpful. We love the atmosphere and the food is great .i really recommend this restourant . The tea and the cold drink with Rose was my favourite Thank you 🤩

We were welcome with beautiful smiles and the service was impeccable. The mix grills and Tagines were simply delicious and the portions were quite generous. We will definitely come back.

I was extremely delighted by my experience over here. The staff was very polite and extremely attentive. Mohit stood out from the staff as he had good knowledge about the menu, he also gave some great suggestions. The manager was very polite as he understood our requirements

Really love the atmosphere inside and out. Staff always lovely and welcoming. I usually get the rose mint tea and relaxing but lately have been trying the menu and enjoying it!

Great lunch today thanks to benny and kaushal for taking care of us

The food was fresh and delicious. My son truly enjoyed the mix grill. The staff were really kind and friendly.

We had a delightful lunch this afternoon, served by Mohit and Benny. Their amazing service truly stood out—both gentlemen were incredibly down-to-earth, friendly and attentive. The food was good, but it was their friendly and professional service that made the experience special. Would definitely recommend!

We had a great lunch this Sunday afternoon at comptoir Lebanese . The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, and the manager was especially friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. It was hands down the best service we've experienced in town. The food was good, and overall, it made for a pleasant dining experience. Highly recommended!

Food is amazing, as well as atmosphere, but the service is another level, especially the service I got from Mohit, so friendly, welcoming, smiling and helpful! Thank you so much!

We had a fantastic dinner at this Branch. The service was outstanding, with the entire staff, from the manager to the waiting team, going above and beyond to ensure a great experience. They were friendly, attentive, and genuinely made the evening enjoyable. A lovely atmosphere paired with excellent food made for a memorable meal. Highly recommended!

Had to leave a review due to sheer disappointment after coming to the kingston branch! I LOVE this chain, the flavours, the menu, the atmosphere, the service, I have always been so impressed whenever I’ve visited numerous other branches with friends and family. This branch however left me and my whole table in utter shock at the food we were served as well as the service. The lamb Kofte was beyond overcooked and seasoned totally wrong, to the point it tasted like I was eating in an Indian restaurant not a Middle Eastern restaurant! The mixed grill, again over cooked. The whole restaurant team were Indian (which is absolutely fine) but they have clearly decided to prepare the menu according to an Indian palate not for a Middle Eastern menu. There wasn’t 1 waiter assigned to us but 4, so whenever we wanted to order something or request something else like tissues or water, we would either have to wait until one of them remembered or we had to go through the whole lot of them till we were served with what was asked. When I spoke to the manager Benny regarding the overcooked Indian food, he gave me a crappy answer of “it’s the same recipe in every branch and customers have been complaining that the meat is undercooked so that’s why we cook it like this instead of the usual pink and soft kofte typical of middle eastern cuisine” he then sent over a pot of tea as some sort of rectification. Definitely will not be visiting this branch again.

Came on a lively sunny September afternoon and were served by Prathamesh - 5 stars for the customer service! He’s good energy! Thank you ☺️

Absolutely loved this place! The food was delicious and full of flavor. The staff were very friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. A cozy atmosphere with great vibes—definitely coming back!

"Absolutely loved our dinner at Comptoir Libanais! The food was fantastic, and the staff are really friendly and provided an exceptional service. Thank you .

I am writing to express my disappointment with my recent dining experience While the roasted salmon I ordered was of average quality, the service I received was below par. This was particularly disappointing as it was a special occasion, celebrating mother birthday. Furthermore, I was surprised by the inconvenience encountered during the ordering process. Despite ordering online twice, the second order was mistakenly sent to a different branch. When I contacted the incorrect branch to request a refund, I was met with unhelpful and inefficient customer service. I hope you will take this feedback into consideration and make the necessary improvements to ensure that future customers have a more positive dining experience.

Absolutely fantastic meal. Such yummy food and really good service

I have really enjoyed dining at Comptoir prior to this experience. This was my first experience dining at the Kingston branch and unfortunately I won’t be returning. Staff were pleasant enough but the food was more suited to an Indian palate. The meat was overcooked and dry. When we raised the issue with the manager Benny, he unfortunately dismissed it saying that the majority of customers prefer it overcooked. No Benny, if I wanted overcooked meat then I’ll go to the local Indian takeout and ask for a sheek kebab. Being half Middle Eastern and half Indian , i definitely know when a Lebanese grill is overcooked and when something is cooked in an Indian style. I would stick to other branches of comptoir, Kings Road, West End, Liverpool st or shepherds Bush. Sorry Benny…learn to take customer feedback on rather than dismissing it and schooling us on how meat should be cooked.

My Misus and I were pleasantly surprised at how kind, friendly and hospitable the staff were, especially the Manager. The food was delicious and we will definitely come back.

Amazing! The food was delicious and not to mention the stunning interior. This restaurant is a must on your go to list. The staff were very friendly and brilliant especially Volney.

Always a good evening at this restaurant, food is delicious, decor fantastic and just by the river. Service is not always the best and could be improved but the food is why we come back

Beautiful place, beautiful views, yummy food and lovely staff. Friendly service from George and Omkar who both couldn’t be more helpful will 100% be back :)

I had a great time at Comptoir Libanais during my recent visit. The lamb burger was delicious, packed with flavor, and the lemonade was just the right balance of sweet and tangy. Mohit, our server, was outstanding—attentive and made sure everything was spot-on. This place is a must-visit!

Visited for dinner with friends. Beautiful and cosy decor, vibrant colours, tastefully done! Thank you to the wonderful staff of Comptoir Libanais Kingston for making our dinner experience special. We had a wonderful meal selection with suggestions from Shubham who gave us some lovely tips. We loved the freshly prepared mezze platter and an array of favourites like the batata harra and falafel. Thank you also to Prathamesh for a lovely service with a smile and to make us feel welcome. Great food and atmosphere!

Very friendly staff and food was beautiful. Thank you mohit

We had a special birthday meal there for 32 guests. The staff were excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. They had part of the restaurant dedicated to us and their service was excellent. The food was so tasty and we had a lovely time.

Staff were amazing too, they took my allergy very serious.

Great service by Benny and sucheta

Perfect Ambience and personalised service by the Team. We had an amazing evening.

Delicious food & amazing service. Wait staff were very friendly, kind & attentive.

Great food and very friendly staff - 1st time visitor will defo come back to sample more 😋❤️

With family and friends we visited restaurant from the same brand in Kensington. The experience was amazing Sadly I cannot say the same for the restaurant in Kingston We went for late lunch , restaurant was nearly empty and we waited to be seated. It was 10 min wait until someone came to seat us in. Then the wait was followed by 15 min for until someone came to take our order. Food arrived quickly which is great what a improvement. Seeing the aubergine - halloumi burger I can clearly understand that this burger has been hit by the inflation. 2 thin slice of aubergine bonded with 2 thinner slices of overcook halloumi all of that squeezed between large brioche bud generously covered in sauce. For £16 is unacceptable. Tabbouleh salad was also hit by the same inflation rate and but the taste of unseasoned parsley was even worse. The slow cooked chicken with olives and couscous was average My daughter received used kids menu for painting and drawing which good - saving threes anyway the child did understand when I tried to explain to her. The only good thing was the beer from Camden brewery- thumbs up for that. Will I recommend it to someone - No Will I return back here - No I hope the one in Kensington will not fail down as the one in Kingston

Very Nice halal food, my family had an awesome time. Beny & Mohir Very helpful and friendly. We will definitely come back.

Great food. Perfect customer service and nice mood 🫡

Such a beautiful restaurant by the riverside. Food was delicious and service was very prompt & Friendly.

Popped in here on a rainy spring day in May and had fantastic food, with some star recommendations from our friendly server Benny! Good food in a vibey atmosphere. Thank you!

The Chicken Shawarma and the chocolate mousse are a must try when you visit Comptoir Lebanese near the Kingston Riverside. The ambiance is bright and colourful that makes you feel really exotic and the staff is very prompt. Kaushal (one of them members of their team) was really friendly and quick! The overall experience was lovely!

We have been going here on and off for the last 10 years and usually love it but today was abysmal. First, one of our starters was wrong. When clearing up the starter the waitress dropped a dirty knife into my friend’s glass of wine which she kindly replaced but with a glass much smaller than had initially been served. Then when delivering the mains they gave us the couscous and 10 mins later the aubergine dish. Then when bringing the bill they overcharged us by £30!!!! So we had to send the bill back twice. They charged us for two items on the main menu, which were on the lunch menu and tried to charge us for two large glasses of wine totalling £30!! ( friends I was with were Italian could not believe they were with being charged £30 for 2 average glasses of wine) . I clarified she never asked which size she wanted, had replaced my friends glass with one smaller than small. I mean it’s either one or the other, no? This never came with an apology and she then proceeded to add £9 service charge. I mean seriously! … which she then took off 🙄

The Tory government of restaurants - taking the public for fools parting with their money. The wrap was dry with zero sauce whatsoever. Hummus was going off. Stale chips. Dry, stale leftover food. They used to be good but seems like there has been a change in management. Far better options in Kingston to go for.

Very lively place! Great service!

Food was delicious and service was top notch. Very beautiful interior..

Baklava was bland, otherwise food was good.

Nice, lovely 🤩🌹 & beautiful 😍❤️ location

Had an amazing Father’s Day dining experience by the riverside! Despite the busy lunch hour, the staff and Manager were incredibly polite, helpful, and worked tirelessly. The food was delicious, and fabulous cocktails. Highly recommend this place!

Halloumi with figs is worth the 100 mile drive

I recently visited Comptoir Libanais and was very impressed. The food was soo delicious and full of authentic Lebanese flavours. I loved the atmosphere. It was very lovely and welcoming. Our waiter Prathamesh was really very polite and sincere making our dining experience even better. Highly recommended for great food and excellent service!!

i recently visited Comptoir Lebanese and the food was good. I recommend falafal and open chicken taouk wrap which was delicious .. our waiter prathamesh's service was amazing he was very polite and kind. 🔥

We had an amazing experience at the riverside restaurant. Despite the busy lunch rush, the service was impeccable and the food was delicious. Highly recommended!
