Bf had written on our reservation it was our anniversary and so could we please have a nice table and bottle of wine when we arrived? I didn't know he had requested that until we arrived and we were given a table by the stairs which hadn't been wiped down property and tissues were still underneath it, and he was quite put off by it. I said, it's still a lovely day, don't let it get to you.The first glass brought to me had marks around the rim. BF sent it back, it returned about two mins later with water at the bottom with the marks still there. Bf said again, and was told 'it comes out the dishwasher that way' abd was tutted at (which he thought was unprofessional). I noticed the mark on the third time, but we couldn't be bothered to argue. Wine was ok (lebanese, grass and herbaceous flavours).We had to ask for water four time before it was brought out. Food was tasty but small portion and not worth 12.45. We ordered a takeaway later that night we were still hungry.We had planned to stay for dessert, but due to bad service and general lack of attention (our plates were empty for ages) we didn't and went to another bar along the river instead. We usually happily pay service charge but in this case it was unwarranted. It wasn't even that busy all things considered.Overall, it really was a downer on our two-year anniversary, At least the scenery was decent.

Awful take away service. Food obviously just thrown in the bag, things upside down, open and spilled all over. Hot food cold and hot mezze not even cooked (was cold cold , like from the fridge!) Oil leaking from the take away bag. Clearly don’t care about take away customers and as a result won’t be ordering or eating again.

Stopped in here after work for a drink and a bite to eat. Although it was busy we were seated fairly quickly, the tables definitely were not a metre or two apart - you would be able to touch the person next to you with a stretched out arm (especially towards the end of the meal when some tables were moved around and moved even nearer to us to allow for a group). We ordered a bottle of wine and the baba ghanoush to share, along with a lamb and halloumi burger and a halloumi and aubergine burger. The wine cooler brought out seemed to just be filled with cool water, no ice, so it dripped whenever you lifted the bottle in/out. The starter sadly never arrived, which when later pointed out the waiter apologised for this and had removed it from the bill no problem. The mains were ok, but very average and nothing special. Initially, the service was great, the young waiter we had was very friendly and cheerful, however, after our mains were brought out no one came to ask if the food was ok (the chips were barely warm and some salt/mayonnaise would have been nice!). For desserts we had the baklava and brownie, again disappointingly neither were great. The baklava was rock hard and cold, not a hint of warmth or gooey syrup-ness as it should be, and the brownie was quite dry. Overall everything was ok but nothing more than average. The other thing which surprised me, was throughout the visit at no point did anyone ask you to scan/check into the NHS COVID track and trace app or take any personal details - it was just either assumed you had your location tracking on or not given a thought about, one of the first places I've been recently that didn't ask about this. Two big positives though were, I got a 25% NHS discount off the food, and the first waiter was lovely and welcoming.

With the restrictions as they are, outside eating only, within ten minutes of opening at lunchtime, every table is full here. Only two men serving and they were flat out. They needed a third to turn away customers.Really lovely to be back here and the food did not disappoint. We both had the halloumi and aubergine burger, it was the best burger ever. Came with crispy fries and we were all set to go. Two large glasses of Pinot Grigio, which was very cold and refreshing. We will be back very soon and when you can eat inside again, it will be absolutely full. FYI the decor and booth seating inside is absolutely stunning.

I went to this restaurant to eat. The food is good the waitress are so nice but the manager was very rude with me and all the time he was screaming to the waitress and this is an unacceptable behavior. I asked him for the bill and he ignored me and I felt discrimination for his part. I never will come back to tis restaurant just because I don't want to see this person anymore in my life. So when I paid the bill I said to him you must to respect to your costumers and your workers and he went to me face to face very aggressive. The waitress was afraid and it is not right. Definitely I don't recommend this place the only problem is him.

Good food, super good location, and super duper ambiance, with option for outdoor seating as well, overlooking the Thames Riverside. The buzz in the environment can surely be felt when you are there. Service is slightly slow, that may be due to the rush of guests dining at the restaurants.

We went here for lunch around 3pm on Tuesday with my 3 girlfriends and asked if we can sit in one of the booth's as they were mostly empty. Person whom I can only assume to be the manager went and checked her bookings and told us they were fully booked. We sat near the toilets for 3 hours but no one showed up from so called bookings she had so those booth's were empty the whole time.Bread served was cold but portions were okay and food was tasty.Unfortunately as I am married to an award winning restaurant manager I can't accept the fact this manager refused to give us obe of the booths when clearly she had no bookings.Even of she had bookings clearly she could still accommodate as not one of those bookings showed up for 3 hours we were there.Just a gentle reminder consumers gk to restaurants to be made felt at home and whilst i can appreciate booked tables cant be given to walk in customers unfortunately there is no explanation thats good enough for what happened.So good luck with your business but we wont be rushing to come back.

Our family stopped by during the walk on the Thames.Of course its location and sitting structure attract you.I understand that due to social distancing sitting arrangements are limited, but the management should be wise enough to accommodate as many people they can quickly and wisely who are in waiting.I told them what to do as a suggestion to keep them self stretched to restructure their tables which are outside, if and when needed.In the end, they also mixed up bills of other customers with ours. I think they need some revisions on their staff training.The food was amazingly delicious and on time. Food serving was very comfortable too.Prices are good despite having a precious view sitting on the bank of Thames.

Visited for lunch today to support one of our favourite places, after reopening. Food and decor were very nice as always. Every other table is kept unoccupied for social distancing, while some other restaurants on the riverside seem to take it less seriously. The staff may be stressed from the social distancing measures and reopening, but service used to be great, but today not so much: the hostess was not friendly at all, our reservation request for a booth was ignored, they forgot to bring cutlery to the table... The worst part is that they always brought a cube of Turkish Delight for each diner with the bill, but stopped doing this now... We will give them few more weeks to recover and then visit again - I hope that the service will go back to their normal great.

On the bank of the river and beautiful decoration! Inside its very colourful and cosy, lovely place for couples as they also have booths. Also recommend for groups and families. They have great choice of drinks and salad starters too but the food is a little disappointing. The food was just warm, the rice and lamb seemed like it was reheated.. wraps were ok, hummus was ok, potato cubes were very good. Service was good.

A friend and I chose Comptoir to catch up after few weeks. It was quiet at the time which was nice as it felt cosier and more intimate! We got the falafels to share and 2 different tagines, served with tea and a fresh juice. Sol, the manager on duty was so patient with all my questions and didn’t make any fuss when I accidentally dropped my glass of tea.....but the best part is yet to come! Dessert time offered so many options and all so yummy I couldn’t decide....again I asked Sol, and he patiently explained ingredients and the differences in flavours....all while strongly holding the dished he just collected from our table. When the desert arrived (chocolate cake with berries and yoghurt) I didn’t realised it wasn’t the one I ordered until I got a bite and tasted yoghurt instead of ice cream....I asked him to come over again and even before I said anything he spotted the mistake....he took the cake away and said there was no problem, he will change it for the correct one (chocolate and tahina brownie). What was my surprise when he came over few minutes later with the cake telling me that I could have it for free and in addition to the correct dessert....as otherwise they will have to throw it away (my bite was already there making a mark!). It was of course a gorgeous gesture, and for me not only because I got another cake but also because he thought of not throwing away food. So it was a win win for both of us. (Extra happy customer, no food wasted, good reviews on the internet!)I didn’t have any cash on me so we agreed that few reviews here and there would suffice. So, this review and social media reviews are my “tip” to Sol and his excellent service. I hope that higher management sees this and you and your team get the recognition deserved!!! Will def. continue coming and recommending Comptoir Libanais Kingston!!

I was so looking forward to trying this, the menu sounded delicious. The cheese parcel shares/starters were absolutely amazing but my main meal (lamb tagine) was not what I was expecting. It was lukewarm, lamb mince meatballs and not lamb pieces, they were a little tough and dry. The sauce was so thin and flavourless I swear it was tinned tomatoes and nothing else, and the cous cous was so bland. This was my expectation: slow cooked lamb chunks in a thick rich flavoured sauce, with steaming hot cous cous on a side dish with fresh herbs.. Instead I got a blatantly microwaved meatball and tomato sauce with some average cous cous. And it was £13. Someone needs to put more effort in to these tagines!!! Please!!

Went here with my husband for a lunch on a Saturday. It was very busy particularly with families and it is very child friendly. Lovely setting by the river. I'm not sure if it was students working there when we went as the service was very tardy. We waited 25minutes for the order to be taken and when the food eventually came we had to ask for the wine and water to be brought. A manager went and told the staff member to bring it over, which she did without apology for the delay.

This has always been my favourite riverside restaurant in Kingston. I eat here all the time, this week twice in the same week. Yesterday however I feel like as a regular and loyal customer I was ripped off. I went with my aunt, we decided to just have a couple glasses of wine and two starters to share. The Baba Ghanuj (aubergine dip) was amazing, and it came with two pita breads. We still had a small bit of the dip left as the pita breads just weren’t sufficient enough. We stopped and asked a female member of staff who looked like the manager and said the dip was amazing and could we have one pita to finish it? She agreed it was the best dip and she loved it. Minutes later 4 piping hot pitas arrived (previous ones were cold), we were surprised at the quantity and just ate one between us as that was all that was needed.

We decided to go here having looked at reviews that gave it 4 star. We ordered three starters which were pretty good. The main meals were tasteless and very uninspiring. We then ordered a portion of baklava that were dry and again tasteless. When we came to pay the £90 bill the waitress asked if we wanted to take the baklava home as she saw that very little had been eaten. When we complained they were dry she turned to us and said “ we get them delivered 3 times a week” - no oh I’m sorry. She then said were they not surgary for you enough ???

First visit and the restaurant is nicely decorated, the food was nice and tasted fresh. The major problem is the terribly slow and non-attentive service. No one comes to ask if food is okay, or if you need anything else. Gave up waiting for our plates to be cleared and bill, had to get up and find someone. It’s annoying as they add 12.5% service charge when you get poor service. The restaurant was not busy so service should of been a lot better.

How often do you go to a scenic restaurant only to be disappointed by the food or the service, but absolutely not here. This is situated on the Thames amongst a plethora of other restaurants. The salmon shashluk ( or something like that!) was heavenly- spicy but flavoursome and cooked to perfection. My partner’s chicken salad, beautifully succulent grilled chicken amongst salad including pomegranates and radish. Really tasty. What more could you want?!

This has been closed for a couple of months and we were worried that it had gone for good, but it is back with a new interior design. I think I preferred the old one better as there seems to be a lot of flowers everywhere (roses - not real). The middle of the restaurant has been "filled in" by fitting arbours with bench seating - with climbing roses (fake) everywhere. Anyway I diverge. The food is as good as it was but we found the service sloppy. Waited ages for our drinks, food and dessert menu. The staff don't seem to have specific tables and our server spent a lot of time at the outdoor tables, instead of inside where it was lovely and cool. It was also very difficult to catch anyone's eye as the central area completely hides the tables that are on the left hand side of the restaurant, whereas before, the open plan gave total contact with all the tables. Just saying.

We went for dinner on a Sunday evening, put our order through and then everyrhing started going bad. We got a bottle of wine that took 15 minutes (the restaurant wasn't busy, there were 5 tables...), after that we got the wrong starters, the correct ones took ages to make. Our mains were amazing though and they were delivered in an apropriat amount of time so we though eveeything will be smooth from now on. We were wrong. Our coffees took around 20mim and we never got the sugar (we asked twice for it). We also ordered a dessert that never came so after half an hour of waiting we decided to get the bill. To our surprise the dessert was on it and the added 12,5% service charge... At this point our waitress left and the bill got sorted out by a pleasant young man. It's not the first time we come here but this place was better before refurbishing...

I wrote a good review of this restaurant two years ago and have been here three or four times since. Last week I took my girlfriend's son there for dinner and we sat outside on warm evening overlooking the river. We ordered a bottle of wine and two main courses. After about ten minutes the wine arrived then we waited. People sat down on the tables on either side of us and they perused the menu, ordered their drink and wine and were enjoying their main courses while we were still waiting for ours. I asked the waitress what was happening with our food and she went to chase it up. Clearly they had forgotten about my guest's meal as when our food arrived ten minutes later his was fine but my lamb wrap was luke warm and a bit soggy on the bottom suggesting it had been sitting waiting for some time.

We sat and had the sharing mezzeh and lamb kofte and I have to say.. I really did quite enjoy the food. I absolutely loved the falafel.. the taboulleh and the smoked baba ghanoush with pomegranate.

We love Lebanese food and popped in for a light lunch en route by foot to Hampton Ct Palace. It's conveniently located by the bridge and we were welcomed warmly. The Christmas menu was offered but that would've been too much. So we chose a Meze Platter plus a Halloumi/Tomatoe starter to share. Plus beers. The food was plentiful and despite being hungry, we struggled to eat it all. But it wasn't great. Just OK and lacked any wow factor. The Halloumi was particularly rubbery/tasteless. The restaurant also acts as a store selling Lebanese produce and baskets. And the tiling is unforgettable!!

We were four and had the meze for two along with lamb, chicken and extra bread. The flavours were diverse and satisfying. Our Spanish waiter was charming and incredibly helpful, advising us on dishes and wine. We will return.

We went early August and again in October. Both times in very hot and sunny weather and both days were glorious. We sat outside on the edge of the river watching the world go by and it was wonderful. Excellent fresh and delicious food beautifully presented. One of my friends is a Vegan and there was no shortage of delicious Vegan dishes, so many she had difficulty choosing.

Very good location. Super riverfront location. Wish we could sit outside but it was too cold. The juwaneh, fattoush, lamb kofta,lamb tagine were all good. Must visit.

This may be a chain but if it is they are doing everything right. I've eaten a lot of Lebanese/Middle Eastern/Ottoman food so I have a decent baseline. The babaganoush is first rate, smokey and creamy, studded with pomegranate. The kibbeh is the best I've ever eaten, breaking open the smooth bulgur shell releases a cloud of fragrance from the lamb, onions, pinenuts and herbs. Minty yogurt dip to accompany. Yum. This is a good stop on the river.

Wow, mid October in England and we sat by a very crowded riverfront enjoying a lovely meal. We were fortunate enough to get a table outside and decided to try the fixed price menu. I had the lamb kofta and my friend had the haloumi salad. They were both generous sized dishes and I followed with a delicious cheesecake and my friend had the milk pudding with dried fruit. A place to recommend and with lovely staff.

My wife and I were staying in Kingston for weekend. On the Friday night we took a stroll across the bridge to the High Street which looked very quiet. Walking back across the bridge we noticed a cluster of restaurants where there was a little more going on.

Great location for a late Sunday lunch and what a treat we had! My taste buds were tingling! Highly recommend Marinated Chicken Taouk - so delicious with a choice of grains including Quinoa. Along with tasty shredded cabbage, lettuce salad - all in all an incredibly healthy and tasty dish.

I have visited Comptoir Libanais in Kingston so many times now, and I have to say what a great service I always receive. Today I was served by Sol, a natural people's person offering an outstanding customer service. I have tried Comptoir in various others locations and it doesn't compare to the one in Kingston. Highly recommended not just for service but also for very tasty food at a very reasonable price.

First time at Comptoir and it's a fantastic find with a market/souk style atmosphere and great view of the river. I love Lebanese but good Lebanese is really hard to find in my experience.

Have eaten here before-wraps and grills probably best option. Ordered lamb and prune tagine. Was ok but a few prunes sprinkled on top! Last time eating here, especially as can get similar size good food for a lot less at places like Leon.

Came here for lunch and unfortunate there were a few special requests, not difficult ones but they struggled to accommodate e.g. no sauce in a wrap. Overall friendly and food is good.

Dont bother with the Aubergine Mezze - For a dish with aubergine in the title I would expect more than 2 pieces of aubergine and no flavour... I also thought the dish was poor value at £14 when you order with Couscous .... (Mezze was £11 the Cuscous was £3)

Location, food, wine, setting and service are all exceptional. Whether the sun is out and you sit outside along the River Thames, or inside with the most colourful beautiful surroundings, this is the best restaurant on the Kingston Riverside.

After looking at all the menus in all the restaurants along the river front we chose here because it was different and exciting- I ordered the lamb kofta & halloumi burger. Quite expensive at £11.95 but sounded delicious, it was a beautiful sunny day and our last meal out for the summer so why not. When it arrived, it had one small piece of halloumi. After asking the waitress if she could ask the chef for some more as that was a pathetic amount for that price she returned to tell me I would be charged extra. The lamb kofta was dry and nothing special, bun was too big and in general a very very poor burger- would’ve got something better quality at Wetherspoons for cheaper! Left feeling really disappointed & annoyed at spending my money on a poor experience.

Amazing. Well worth a visit! We visited on a Thursday evening and had a lovely experience at Narenj. The food was amazing, especially the sharing starter with various dips and bread. Despite other comments left here, the service was efficient and the waitress was very friendly and welcoming. We will certainly be back!!

The food and atmosphere was fantastic for a small family meal. The service and warmth from our waitress Carys was cherry on top of a perfect evening. Will be back for the hospitality alone!!!

Excellent food, huge portions with lots of extra stuff free (soup starter, homous and bread free). Excellent and friendly service all for very reasonable prices. Definitely going back and would highly recommend it to anyone going to Kingston Upon Thames.

Very quiet at Friday lunchtime, we were the only ones until a loud vegan arrived, and unfortunately continued to yell about her veganism religion throughout the remainder of our meal. We had our usual at Persian restaurants: koobideh (minced lamb grilled on skewers) with their moreish garlic naan and the chicken (with bones) and rice. Our first visit but not our last.
