Comptoir Libanais in Bath and North East Somerset

Sadly a menu change. The mixed grill has always been great but over past year definite shrinkflation going on as prices rise. Sticking cheap chicken wings in a mixed grill is a bit of a cynical move by the bosses . Glad I didn't pay to 'go large' . Unfortunately this place feels a long way off where it started . Always felt less like a chain but now feels very much like that.

Amazing food, great and friendly staff.

Really nice place to go for a quiet lunch, delicious food and good service. Recommend the fresh mint tea. Had to wait for my friend to arrive and was made to feel very comfortable doing so. I would be happy eating in there as a solo diner, which is something I value highly in a restaurant.

Came tonight around 7pm with family, was served by a lovely lady who said her name was Steph. The atmosphere was very beautiful and friendly, we had a mixed grill platter and others which were very delicious and came quite quickly. Service was wonderful and quick. Highly recommend!

We went on a very busy Saturday. We did not know you have to book table during Christmas time as they are very busy. The manager was very helpful and sitted us outside and did not forget about us. We had a great service celebrating my birthday there. The food is geourgeous as always.

We arrived at 5:30 for our meal. It was our friends birthday and she really wanted to have some great Lebanese food. We received our drinks promptly but were then waiting for our food for over an hour. We checked with our original server twice only for her to then avoid speaking with us for the duration of the night. Noah was great! He came over and sorted everything out for us, even mentioning our wait to the manager who then offered us a discount and a free dessert for my friends whose birthday we were celebrating. If it weren’t for Noah, I am unsure what would have happened with our food. 1 star taken off service because of the original server and her avoidance of our table. We hope to come back soon!

Visited for dinner on a Monday evening. Fab decor. Very attentive staff. Food was really tasty and generous portions.

First ever visit here, from arrival we were made to feel very welcome before being shown to a table. The food and drink menus were vast with so much selection The young lady serving us explained the menu and detailed ingredients in specific items we asked about The food itself was very tasty and sufficient sized portions Highly recommend a visit

Decor was great. Order was taken promptly. But thats where good experience end. Order took 45 min to arrive and when it did. Most of the dish was burnet. When it came to paying the bill. They given us the wrong bill and when they were informed about it; extra money had to be paid.

We are having a mini break in Bath and decided Comptoir was a good choice as we love it at home in Exeter. We were really let down by this evenings customer service. Very disappointing. After being initially shown to our table, we were then ignored by the waiting staff for about 20-30 minutes. Its a Wednesday evening and the restaurant was quiet. The staff just appeared more focused on cleaning the empty tables and setting them back up. No prioritising going on. Eventually we had to ask a waitress who was again passing us by, if we can finally order please. The food came out and but still no drinks, bearing in mind by this point wed been in the restaurant for about 40 minutes. They brought these out several minutes after our food was served. And then I had to remind the waitress about the water we'd also asked for. Delicious food as always, we can't fault that. Once our plates were cleared and we said no thank you to any dessert, we then sat there for another 20 mins before we eventually managed to get the attention of a waitress to ask for the bill. She then went on clearing tables and setting up for the next day for what seemed like ages, so we then got up to get our coats on and tried to get attention once again and had to ask for the bill again.We have been to the Exeter restaurant countless times and always had excellent customer service to match the perfect food. So tonight, sadly, at Bath Comptoir, ot was a let down.

Pathetic experience! Very rude and unprofessional staff! After having good time few years ago, I decided to visit this restaurant again on 10th Nov which turned out to be a disaster. We were a group of 4+ 2 children. Firstly the food portions were substantially less. The waiter who served us was very uninterested, and rude. He was showing us frustrated gestures and making faces when we asked him help with the menu. Secondly he didnot explain us properly about The Feast (player) and left us very confused, however we ordered. When he brought us the starter plater which we were not expecting the way it came and he said this is what he ordered and this is what it is. The mains followed the same; very small portions and smell in ch wings. We ordered additional rice which after waiting 15 mins; came as chips I told him that we ordered rice not the chip. Then he got the rice and threw the bowl on the table very rudely !! We decided to just pack up and leave the restaurant becaus of all this, in the deal there were tea and backlavas included with in the deal. We were not offered that until we reminded the him (the waiter) in which he said we don’t have tea. On which he said we don’t have tea. Then I asked him to get the backlavas in a take away box. Then We got the 2 small stale backlavas Well the overall bill which we payed were £125. The food was over priced with very small portions Due to. Absolute disgusting staff behaviour and the food. I’m not going back to this rubbish restaurant

Really lovely restaurant, the food was all delicious and freshly made. The flat breads were super yummy and all the food was nicely seasoned. Their lemonades are a must try and super refreshing as well. Really like the decor as well, creates a really nice atmosphere. Definitely one to visit if you're in Bath

Good coffee and excellent service. Like the outdoor area too.

Female server was great. Friendly and patient. Thursday evening shift, a keeper!

Good evening very friendly staff. Food took ages to come. Long wait in-between courses.

I was really impressed by the decoration. The service was excellent (very attentive waiters and waitresses), and food was simply exquisite.

I ate here and enjoyed the whole experience, food was delicious, service was friendly and professional and the atmosphere was lovely. I highly recommend this restaurant

Always a fun place to sit down and eat in. Good location and good food.

amazing fish dishes with the best salmon, everything is seasoned well and a dining experience you will not forget joined with authentic teas that soothe your senses

Delicious meal with amazing falafel in the mezze!

Had a super meal here, excellent food and well worth a visit

The most beautiful , serene restaurant in bath , wonderful food and drink , a soul warming atmosphere and bright energy , not to mention the most nicest staff who give you the best service in the world

We had the Prix Fixe menu, which we thought was good value. All the food was delicious. We also had the Beirut beer, which was excellent.

Absolutely ‘yummazing’ and perhaps the best Lebanese food I have eaten in a long, long time. I have lived in the Middle East for 2 decades and have eaten this cuisine almost every week. I loved the food and the service so much , that I went for two back to back lunches. Thank you, Duke for your super service and recommendations. If I come back to Bath again, this is first restaurant I will visit again. I tried the Zaatar bread /Manaakish with garlic on both days, steaming hot right from the oven. An absolutely decadent delight. The Shish tawouk as the main course was superb with the salad and rice. The next lunch was the chicken kebab, hummus ; superb again - the two sauces ( garlic -tuom & red sauce) are an absolute must. Duke was kind to offer a complimentary ‘fattoush’ as i had enquired about it and as a solo diner I couldn’t order another portion. Fresh, crunchy veges, the dressing just right.. Highly recommend and a must visit.

Amazing service from everyone and really beautiful:)))

We went for our anniversary dinner. Food amazing as always but very slow cold service. Had no cutlery when food was given and couldn't find staff to ask. Had to go looking around tables for some. Probably will do takeaway in the future.

All round great experience from start to finish. Staff were attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. The food quality and portion sizes were great. The food was served piping hot and looked as good as it tasted. Highly recommend. If I was staying local longer I would have eaten there again.

Lovely and friendly as well as delicious menu. So love the mezze… actually it’s all good! Very friendly and efficient service too.

excellent choice in bath, great service, food, and atmosphere. The chicken tagine wasn’t authentic, but the coscos was. I recommend the feta bread.The fattosh was good.

I always come here for the mixed grill. And this never disappoints me at all. Thank you chef victor for this amazing food

Certainly! Here's a more polished and professional version of your review: "Undoubtedly one of the finest experiences with Middle Eastern and Lebanese cuisine. I ordered the Meza Veg and Mixed Grill, and as someone who has spent over a decade in the Middle East, sampling countless varieties of the region's food, I can confidently say the dishes were exceptional. The meat was succulent and tender, cooked to perfection. The ambience was stunning, creating an atmosphere that truly elevated the dining experience. However, the service initially fell short of expectations. Upon being served water infused with mint, I discovered insects in the glass. This unsettling incident nearly prompted me to leave, and the waiter's indifferent response—replacing the water without an apology—was disappointing. Thankfully, a lady and another gentleman later stepped in, offering warm and welcoming service that helped turn the situation around. The food itself is beyond reproach—if I could, I would rate it a perfect 10/10. However, I must emphasize the importance of maintaining cleanliness, which is why I am giving an overall rating of 3 stars. With such incredible food, attention to cleanliness and service would make this restaurant truly outstanding."

Extremely worrying and poor customer service at this restaurant. Very disappointed by the staff’s lack of care and inadequate training.

The food here is amazing! Went along as a solo for a work trip, great service, the chicken wing starters were amazing! Definitely check it out

We've eaten here a few times over the last three years as the decor and atmosphere is good and food and service too, but I did feel somewhat disappointed when I last popped in for a quick lunch. Wanting something tasty and nutritious to eat before walking home, the limp, tired salad I was given after several promptings for service, didn't tick any boxes neither did paying just short of £8. The highlight of the meal was the fresh mint in the jug of tap water.

We visited this restaurant on a Thursday evening and we’re pretty lucky to get a table as it was very busy. We loved the feel and look of the place. It felt very authentic. Although it was busy, the service was quick. We ordered 3 mezze between us as a starter and found it was plenty of food for 2 people. On the menu it recommends 2 to 3 per person. I’d suggest you’d need a very healthy appetite to eat that amount if you’re having a main course as well. I had the chicken tagine with couscous which was Devine. The whole meal was superb and not overly expensive at just over £100 for 2 people including a bottle of wine and service charge. Highly recommended

Awesome spot in Bath for a Lebanese. The decor perfectly matches the menu and atmosphere. Decent portion sizes. Service charge already applied to the bill let's down a star though.

I went there, expecting or hoping to hear that Lebanon had a unique language, but discovered to my surprise that English & French, is spoken there very often & (no surprise to me) that they speak Arabic too. I was able at least, to 'try' SOME Arabic, but mostly English, with the waiter who took my food order, but also spoke some (central/south american) Spanish! with the waitress who served my order (she was from Sri Lanka, but speaks no Sinhala? or Tamil, which I beieve are 2 languages of Sri Lanka). Her English is excellent as it is from everyone I spoke to there. So I was able to say "thank you, the food was lovely", in English, Arabic, & Spanish! The food, as expected was very nice - I had the Pitta Bread with Hummus to start, then Lamb Kofta with Rice & some Salad. For my Drink I had Elderflower Spritz - but will not have THAT drink from there again as it has 'soda water' in it, which I dont like. If, or more likely when, I go there again I will have a diffrtent drink - their 'mocktails' & soft drink list is quite large. Having a '2 course lunch' - starter & main plus a drink - cost me £33.92. A little higher than I usually pay, IF I have a late lunch in town. £25 is usually my limit on the rare occasions I go to a 'proper resteraunt'. A nice meal & 1 drink at £25 is getting harder to find when 'going Solo'. If, like me, you have a problem with seeds of tomato, red/yellow/green/orange peppers, or those from Chilli or with pickled (rather than fresh) cucumbers, you will need to ask the waiter if any of that is in their dishes, & tomato is used in a lot of them - they do not remove such seeds first, unfortunately (it is the seeds I have a problem with not the fruit 'born' from the seeds. Very nice food, background music (Arabic I think), very polite waiting staff. Not really 'expensive', but It will be a while before I go back, as £8 over my spending limit can't happen that often!

Food is alright. Nice Hummus. But a bit too expensive for the value.

Beautifully decorated and inviting. A few improvements would make it more special and worth another star. Portions a little small considering price. Buttata Harra nice buy a tad dry. Falafels fantastic but again could do with a bit of tahini sauce to moisten. 12.5% service charge would be friendlier at 10%. And glass bottles of ice cold coke would be more appealing than cans. On the whole though a lovely, tasty meal and friendly and efficient service.

The restaurant is full of roses, creating a vibrant and romantic atmosphere that perfectly complements its maximalist design. The food, as expected from a Lebanese restaurant, was delightful. However, I was a bit disappointed by the limited menu. Despite the vast array of dishes that Lebanese cuisine has to offer, the restaurant’s selection was quite restricted. This left me wishing for more variety and options to choose from. Also, while the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, my mocktail took an eternity to arrive.

Me and my finance went for lunch on Sunday 4th of august and we had a superb time. The food was utterly amazing and the staff were so quick, friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this restaurant if you are in bath. Beautifully decorated and very cool on a hot day. Can’t wait to go back

I recently dined at Comptoir and I must say that my experience left much to be desired. The food quality was incredibly disappointing, and it was evident that corners were cut in the kitchen. Firstly, the chicken and bread served to me seemed to have been reheated. The chicken lacked freshness and flavor, and the bread was so tough and stale that it was practically inedible. The olive oil bread, in particular, was disappointingly hard, making it challenging to even take a bite. Moreover, the meat dish I ordered was a letdown as well. It was clear that the meat had been reheated rather than freshly grilled as advertised. The lack of juiciness and tenderness further confirmed that the dish fell short of expectations. Overall, my dining experience was marred by subpar food quality and disappointing flavors. I expected a fresh and delicious meal, but instead, I was served reheated dishes that failed to impress. I hope that the restaurant takes steps to improve its food preparation and quality control to ensure that future diners have a more satisfying culinary experience.

I had reheated food was disgusting I never had such an experience.

Clean, friendly restaurant, food what you expect from Comptoir!

Painfully slow service won’t come again

£71 for two . Nobody in the restaurant . 2 drinks, 4 coffees and two small meals . Supposed to be in a tagine but served in a very very small bowl . Will not ever go in there again

Wonderful service and delicious food. Thank you so much. Would really recommend!

Woaw What a great place. The food was delicious and had portions that wont leave you hungry. I recommend trying their lemonades as well. Food came fast But was fresh. The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere and the design is incredibly lively and welcoming. I think the prices are also better than other places in Bath that tourists may go to.

Staff are very nice, but seriously understaffed so service really slow. Food good but some ' Lebanese' dishes not authentic Lebanese ( I live in Lebanon) We used to particularly enjoy the Kibbeh and Siyadieh but sadly they're not on the menu anymore.

We ordered mixed grill, I do not recommend 4 pieces of chicken with kebab I don't recommend it You must make sure to pay, as sometimes the service amount increases

Disappointing and Overpriced I was incredibly gutted with my recent experience at Comptoir Libanais restaurant in Bath. The food, unfortunately, did not live up to the hype or the price tag. The portions were shockingly small(3 pieces per skewer) for the cost. It felt like I was paying for a tasting menu rather than a proper meal. To add insult to injury, they even charged for the bread, which is typically complimentary in many restaurants. I would strongly recommend exploring other Lebanese restaurants in Bath that offer better value for money.

I have tried the one in London as well. Food and ambience both are excellent. Highly recommended.

I ordered 3( feast to share) meal which consists of mezze platter+ large plate + tea and baklawa for 34.95£ But i was shocked when I was going to pay that they put an extra charge of 12£ for tea and baklawa and when i asked the waitress about the extra charge she told me the tea and dessert were not included but we did discount for them They really scammed me and i didn't like this experience at all

Had lunch today , the mixed grills is good but not the best, mezza is good service was poor , only one waiter and you have to wait for ages to get whatever you ordered although there were only 3 tables occupied! We ordered 3 share platters (it says in the menu -mezza, mixed grills , baqlawa and tea ) yet when we paid they added the tea and baqlawa price! When we asked they said no you get it for discount price bcz you ordered the share platter its not included ! Yet it clearly says in the menu that it’s complementary with the share order and it was 34£ /person and the waiter included it when explaining the order! A tip of 12% was added , we thought its mandatory, in the bottom it says its optional!? Yet they added it automatically and never clarified ,We did not notice that so paid it although it was a poor service !! I found all of that was quite deceiving!!

I ordered 3(feast to share ) meals which said it included mezza plater + main plater + tea and baklawa but I was surprised when the waitress brought the receipt, found they charged me 12£ for the tea and baklawa and when I ask her about this she said we made a discount for tea and baklawa and it is not included in the meal I feel scammed , this is the first and last time dining there Be careful

We were welcomed and seated by Duke who was very hospitable, friendly and food familiar. He gave us great recommendations but the halloumi with figs, pistachios and rose petals was just the star on the table. Absolutely mind blowing taste! Both lemonades Roomana and Toufaha you just must try yourself! Great experience!

Avoid this restaurant!!! Rushed waiters,cold and huge waitting times to get drinks and especially food!! Meat very dry and very seasoned!! Completly not worth it!!

Lovely restaurant. Authentic Lebanese food, true to taste. Great service by Ishita-we asked her for recommendations and true enough, all the preparations were to die for. We ordered MIXED GRILL platter, Tony’s hummus, falafel open wrap, spinach and feta borek, Batata Harra and assortment of lemonades. Everything was sumptuous.

Excellent, as a Turk I liked it...

The staff are very lazy and the restaurant is almost always dirty. They seriously couldn't care less that you're there. Once you get it, the food is OK.

It was the only place open and was great - thanks for the food and the service 😀 🙂 👍

We ordered fattoush, which was very delicious. Shish tawook was delicious, and it came with hot sauce once, but the quantity was very small for the price. It was served with vermicelli rice and cabbage salad. We ordered hummus and potato hara and they were very delicious 👍🏻. The atmosphere is beautiful and the service is excellent.

Best lunch place. Travelled with 3 picky eaters and they all rated this 5/5.

Lovely food. Really looked after us. Duke was exceptionally attentive.

Beautiful decor, the food was delicious and all the service staff were very friendly and attentive.

We came to Comptoir Libanais yesterday evening for my friends hen do and were very impressed. The food was absolutely delicious and staff (particularly Mark) were very friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend!!

Comptoir Libanais as it was meant to be. Nice atmosphere, spacious, familiar menu, excellent food & good service. You don't come here to be surprised, but to be sure that you quickly get something tasty to eat and can sit quietly for a while, that's fine.

Wonderful to eat Persian food again. Super place.

Nice Lebanese restaurant quite large, limited menu ensuring quick service. Good food and drink.

We dined at this restaurant, it is a beautiful place and fantastic customer service☺️ but I must say, the portion sizes don't justify the high prices they charge. It's quite expensive for what you get!!

Food is gorgeous 😋😋😋 I'll definitely be going back to try more things on the menu 👌👌👌

Food was a good. Service was abit hit it miss. Didn't listen to full instructions for example 'no mint' and brought a jug of water with mint in it. Also the door kept being left open on super windy day making it very cold. Want to go back to give it another shot

The place is very nice, food is not what you would expect but taste was good, portion small compared to similar places. I would definitely recommend to visit if you are in Bath.

Really great middle Eastern food. fresh, light, full of flavour. many vegetarian options. Nice atmosphere full of couples and families. attentive staff. Good value for money.

We tried a variety of food. Among them , we loved Mixed Grill. Has multiple options for Vegetarian foods as well. The restaurant was neat and clean. Beautifully decorated. Warmly welcomed and served by the staff members. Enjoyed being there.

Brilliant food, amazing atmosphere and staff was very attentive. Highly recommend

I am a regular customer, however my recent experience has been a discouraging one and disappointing too. We ordered Chicken shish with rice and Lamb Mezze with rice as well. For drinks, we ordered a coke and a jug of tap water. It took them about 40 minutes to serve the food. The lamb Mezze was really nice but they reduced the amount of rice even though the price for all of their food increased by almost about 10%. The chicken shish were really dry and the salad tasted really bad compared to what we had before. It was almost 10 pm and we were really hungry hence we finished the food. They served the food in a partially broken plate and bowl. I have taken pictures. Also, the water jug looked very old and dirty. The gentleman who served food, I mentioned about the dry shish and he was sorry. He then gave us 3 pieces of Kunafa (that's what it looked like) in a takeaway box as a nice gesture, which were really hard to bite and we felt that it was really old. Overall, the experience was not good. We still have some good memories of Comptoire but not sure if we will be visiting anymore.

Excellent food, great service and unparalleled ambiance!

I booked this restaurant for mine and my partners anniversary, I had been here several times and loved it, this was his first time and I really wanted him to love it too, I was not disappointed! I had given them the heads up it was our anniversary and we were given a lovely table, the service was so attentive, we were made to feel special and the food was incredible (I knew it would be!) You gave us a lovely memorable date and we massively appreciated your wonderful restaurant and staff! Terri N. X

Lovely decor and reasonably authentic Lebanese place in Bath (although Tabouleh is done with Quinoa). Portions are small for the cost.

This was really average, would go there if again if friends booked it, but wouldn't recommend it as a place to enjoy great Lebanese food.

We love Comptoir Libanais in Bath and our light lunch yesterday was no exception. We were served by the always-charming and super helpful Duke. In fact, if we are unsure where we want to eat, we always seem to end up back at Comptoir due to the excellent service we always receive from him. Thank you, Duke! My bestie and I only needed a light lunch yesterday, so we ordered a Mezze platter for 2. It was so fresh and delicious! We usually have rose mint tea, but yesterday we opted for jasmine tea and that was also excellent. I was desperate for a dessert, but sadly was too full... so I ordered a piece of mango cheesecake to take home with me. It was also delicious and most welcome after my evening meal at home. A luscious treat of creamy, smooth cheesecake with a sweet and tangy mango topping. The sliced pistachios and bright, juicy pomegranate garnishes enhanced this indulgent pudding perfectly. Wow. Nice work, chefs! The food and drink offerings at Comptoir consistently bring a smile to my face and the bill is always so reasonable for such a delightful experience. The manager at Bath, Mark, who we met yesterday during our time in the restaurant was also really friendly and attentive. He made sure that this bright, colourful space was as welcoming and delightful for us as could be. Thank you everyone at Comptoir Bath. We will be back again soon!

Have tried Lebanese food before but this was another level! Staff couldn't be more helpful and guided us through the menu. Went for the sharing starter and the mixed grill and the dishes were cooked to absolute perfection. Would highly recommend dining here and will be definitely going again. The staff were attentive despite getting busier by the minute. Thank you for a great experience.

Really nice food, would definitely come back.

Looking for somewhere to have a late lunch and tried this place as it didn't look like mass catering for the tourists. Lovely decor and background music. Serving staff were friendly and pleasant I had the mixed grill, which was very tasty and a good portion size But the highlight was the dessert. Combining Vanilla Ice Cream with Baklawa is a great idea and this was a delicious dessert

Fine Lebanese food in atmospheric surroundings and authentic music to aided digestion. Staff courteous and efficient. The food nicely presented. A recommend. Family friendly. We over-ate and had the house mezze for two and two other large side dishes. Ate the lot. Well done.

Food and service amazing but it somehow lacked atmosphere

Had a great experience dining there! My friend and I were in a rush because of the trains and our waiter Duke made sure we got everything quickly and packed up leftovers for us. Food was great!

Go to the Thai restaurant next door. Here the service is slow and cold, but they charge a 12.5% extra for it anyway. It would be nice if this was anywhere before you make any order. As for the food, it is as good as mixing garlic with yogurt could be.

I love the decor here, but I love the food more. The menu has a great choice and you will probably have difficulty choosing. They also do a £15+ lunchtime menu that we will seriously need to try.

Had a great meal hear for a friends birthday! The service from duke was excellent and he made great recommendations! The food was excellent interesting and very filling. We will be back again!

Ate here for the first time today. Restaurant very quirky and interesting in side. Service was a bit slow but friendly and helpful staff and the food was well worth the wait. Good quality, delicious food which was worth the wait. Would highly recommend.

Service was extremely slow, 2 courses in 3 hours. Half an hour for reordering 3 drinks. Food and drinks only came after reminder requests. When it did arrive, chicken was dry and burnt. It was expensive for what it was. To be fair we didn’t send the food back at this point as we have already waited nearly 2 hours for our main course. The restaurant was busy initially but then quietened down so not sure what the problem was. There are so many lovely restaurants in Bath, choose somewhere else.

Despite booking and no queue we waited 5mins to be seated by an uncharismatic waitress. Service was incredibly slow and waited 20 mins before having to find someone to take a drinks and food order and the another 30mins for food and drinks to arrive. It wasn't particularly busy, maybe 1/2 full. The food was great and it could have been fantastic but sadly let down by the service.

Food was very nice. Highly recommend the lamb kofta roll with batata harrara. If opting for dessert, the orange blossom mouhalabia is a fantastic choice. The atmosphere of the restaurant is lovely but not chaotic. This is a good choice for dining in Bath

The food is amazing, this is by far the best fatoush I have had in a long time. The music and the decoration make the overall experience very pleasant and cozy. The service is very good and the staff are very friendly. You're missing a lot if you haven't tried it!

Of all the rather anodyne offerings in Southgate for shoppers and tourists, this can be the nicest place to eat. They go massive on the theme (which I think is supposed to resemble some kind of casbah) and it’s a riot of colour with an eclectic mix of faux flowers, a multitude of pendant lights, plates, and textiles. The toilets are also themed with movie adverts. If you love over-the-top decor, this restaurant beats the Thai street food outlet next door and the tapas bar across the way. The best thing about this restaurant is the lovely fresh food they serve. The restaurant has been around for quite a few years and it’s popular. We had the mezze sharing platter, and I had the lamb kofta with salad. All of it was tasty and felt very healthy! We had a bottle of the red Lebanese wine, which is very, very good. Both spicy and jammy, with great body, it was a good accompaniment to our meal. The service is okay. We didn’t get the jug of tap water we’d requested, whereas other tables received theirs. It’s also annoying to be seated right next to other groups and couples when there were emptier parts of the restaurant, and then have a group of four diners plonked right next to us. I had to move my coat from beside me on the banquette before a woman sat on it. The restaurant wasn’t full and we could have been spread out a little (we had booked a table in advance). As it was we ended up trying not to listen to the rather loud group’s conversation next to us, and when one of their number got up to go to the loo, she had to squeeze between my husband and the larger group behind us. Far from ideal, and it wouldn’t have been an issue had we’d been more spread out across the large dining area. I think this is definitely something the staff need to consider when there are a number of empty tables. It may be more convenient for the eating staff, but it negatively impacts on the experience for the guests, which is a shame because the food really is lovely!

Decor is no doubt top notch. I hope they spend some time training their staff for better service. We waited for 40 minutes after ordering our food and then reminded at the till that we are waiting for our order when they realised that they have not even placed our order to be prepared although the restaurant was not busy at all. We asked for tap water and glasses were dirty, my wife's glass had a hair in it. Portion sizes are very small for the price so its too expensive as it is not a fine dining experience as all the dishes are very basic and can be found in a takeaway shop. When paying the bill they added wooping 12% service charge and its very hard to see on their screen, we asked it to be removed as the service was very poor.

A warm welcome on arrival and asked if we wanted some water - "yes please". Little did I realize that this was a bottle of water and charged at £4.95 on my bill. Usually if one asks for water it is a carafe of tap water. Our Open Wraps were nicely presented but the underneath was so difficult to cut or pull apart such that my guest suggested we needed a steak knife to cut it.
