Comptoir Libanais in Reading

Great food and service. Ermiona looked after us so well.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Comptoir Libanais in Reading, and I just had to take a moment to commend Ermiona for her outstanding service. From the moment we arrived, she greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel right at home. Her knowledge of the menu was impressive, and she offered fantastic recommendations that truly enhanced our dining experience. Ermiona was attentive without being intrusive, always checking in to ensure we had everything we needed. Her positive energy and genuine enthusiasm for the food and culture made our meal even more enjoyable. It’s clear that she takes pride in her work and cares about her customers. The atmosphere at Comptoir Libanais was vibrant, but Ermiona’s personal touch really stood out. I left feeling not only satisfied with the delicious food but also grateful for such excellent service. I highly recommend visiting this location and asking for Ermiona – she will surely make your experience memorable! Thank you, Ermiona, for your exceptional service!

Amazing food!! As a veggie, I would recommend the halloumi open wrap, great flavour and can tell that care goes into the preparation of the food. Price is on the more expensive side but definitely worth it.

I attended this evening with my husband and was served by aleasha. she gave us great recommendations which made our visit so memorable. I will definitely be recommending to friends and family.

Had lunch at Comptoir Libanais with my husband and the food was very, very good. We were served by the lovely Ermiona who was fast and efficient. All in all, a good place for a meal.

Ermiona. Amazing service and she look after us very well. Good delicious

An absolutely wonderful experience at Comptoir Libanais! The staff were lovely and the food truly hit the spot.

Love this place! Beautiful surroundings, friendly and attentive staff, and delicious food! Especially enjoyed the baklava and tea to finish.

Fantastic meal from start to finish. Went for the festive menu with mezze selection starters - very tasty dips, fresh breads, all excellent. Then the lamb kebab main was delicious, perfect charring but still super juicy, a first-class Lebanese feast finished off with fab mint tea and baklava. Service was excellent throughout as well, very friendly welcome and looked after by Karina and Yusef.

Had a really lovely family lunch here - great food and the staff were very thoughtful and helpful, especially Yusef.

A perfect meal, perfect company.

Amazing and outstanding atmosphere. For a vegetarian/vegan there is no other choice in Reading. Tables 8 and 9 overlooking the riverside are also the best in house.

Have been multiple times to the Reading restaurant- every time the food is cooked perfectly and tasty. The menu has plenty of meat-free options. The staff are always friendly and attentive- shout out to Karina for constant high-level service. Karina

Very tasty food and nice service .Thank you so much

Ermiona and zsordi were very attentive and got our dog a little pot to drink from

ermiona was my server and she was very kind and provided quick service

Visited this week with a group of friends - really impressed. This is a lovely, vibrant restaurant in the heart of Reading - the interior design is wonderful and the food is delicious. The staff were terrific, really attentive, particularly Grisilda and Karina who looked after us really well despite the restaurant being hugely busy. Thanks!! We will definitely return!

Así que la primera vez a este restaurante de cadena. ¡Nos gustó! Comida recién sabrosa - nada elaborado pero una calidad decente entregado por un equipo bien perforado de cocineros y servidores. Si tienes un plato con proteína como ingrediente, las porciones son bastante pequeñas. El servicio era muy bueno. Un par de puntos negativos ... es un poco caro para lo que se obtiene . . si usted tiene 3 platos y una bebida sin alcohol o dos, es alrededor de las £ 50 por cabeza. Además, si te sientas en la mitad de la sala de estar más cercana a la puerta, entonces sientes una explosión de hielo cada vez que se abre la puerta, ya que no hay vestíbulo o entrada de chicane solo un calentador de puerta que no gestiona el trabajo. No es algo que quieras en un restaurante decente. Quizá hagan que los repartidores usen una entrada diferente... ¿Está en mi top 10 de Reading - probablemente no - pero no es malo.

Ermiona...I love the atmosphere and decorations.the food and drinks are amazing 🤩😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩 definitely coming back here 100%...

Really fantastic food. So fresh and flavourful, would definitely recommend.

Recently came here for corporate dinner - 18 of us, had a great time. Service was excellent. Highly recommend!

Ermiona was so lovely to us today. She had such a kind and calm aura and made us feel so welcome in the restaurant. So thankful, we will be back!

Ermiona was the best! She was so sweet and nice! I had a great time! I’ll definitely be coming back here again!

Ermiona was so kind and generous. She took great care of us throughout our dining experience. We had a wonderful time and we'll definitely be coming back again.

We walked in on a whim on a Tuesday evening. Service was prompt and friendly, we were served by Ermiona, who was lovely and made good suggestions. Would come again!

Ermiona and the team were absolutely amazing, they were so attentive and kind, and the food was absolutely delicious. 10/10 would recommend

Un gran grupo de nosotros vinimos para una cena y nos sirvieron por el encantador Usif que era amable y paciente con nosotros mientras estábamos pidiendo nuestra comida. La comida era deliciosa y el ambiente era increíble, lo recomendaría!

Yusuf was very polite with the service, we had a wonderful birthday dinner thanks to him

Nice ambiance and wonderfully served by Yusuf

I loved my experience here I went with my friends the server Yusuf Karacam offered us wonderful service with his hospitality and politeness.

The service was exceptional, thanks to yusuf.

The roasted salmon was incredible.

Primera vez que visito. Salir con un amigo a cenar antes del cine. Ambiente encantador. Elegimos el plato Mezze para 2 con un Halloumi extra e higos. Estaba muy sabroso y lleno. El servicio era bueno y el personal era muy agradable y servicial. Definitivamente volveré.

Food quality and taste was average. Kebab was burnt. Service was not very good. Location is very good but table for two is very small. If you order more than two dishes no space on table.

Grisilda was an excellent waitress very polite and caring. The food was delicious and will definitely recommend it to all who are visiting Reading town .

Recieved a warm welcome, service was ok- a little slow but ok. Food was tasty. The mezze feast deal seemed like a good offer and although the food was lovely, personally I feel like the offer was overpriced. White sangria again overpriced and tasted like orange juice.

Ermiona was great she served us and made sure that our food was great and we were happy. We are very fussy eaters but we enjoyed everything!!

Este restaurante es muy caro y la calidad de la comida no es excelente. El restaurante estaba lleno cuando comimos allí y el servicio era menos que satisfactorio.

ermiona is the sweetest and most welcoming!! loved the food

Ermiona was super helpful, the food and service was amazing

Ermiona was super amazing 😍 the whole experience was perfect

Delicious food, but service left a very bitter taste Went to comptoir tonight with 3 friends, we all had tagines, there were soooo tasty! One friend ordered an elderflower spritz which was really unpleasant/bitter, when she told the waiter he essentially shrugged his shoulders, she’d had at best 2 sips. I ordered soda and fresh lime and received the tiniest slice of bear dried lime in my soda. We all ordered fresh mint tea after our meal, getting the drinks/dessert menu was no mean feat as waiters were hard to get the attention of. We made a point of saying just mint tea, not the fancier one, even pointed to it on the menu. We were served the fancier, bitter one with tea in it rather than just leaves and told that’s how they did it when clearly they did fresh mint on the menu. Rather than listening to us we were shut down by the wait staff. I left feeling really very angry, and disappointed. We usually go to Comptoir in London, and not sure i’d rush back to Reading branch again after our experience.

Friendly staff and hard work in everything they do. A relaxed and amazing atmosphere for everyone. Great food at a great price, would recommend if you want something new and exciting.Swift booking process, great ambiance, tasty food and excellent service. Special thanks to Martyna for taking good care.

Love the food and service and we definitely will be back

Definitely the tastiest food we’ve ever eaten! Along with the beautiful decor and service this an unforgettable culinary experience :) thank you so much to Ermiona!!

Food was 3/5, atmosphere was 5/5, it was pricey for less food. It should be more food. Food tastes good. Loved the Moroccan tea. I just hope they give more or add food

Terrible service. Only one lady trying to serve all tables alone.

Vino para una cena rápida y agradablemente sorprendido. El entrante meze para dos era excelente, y muy auténtica comida libanesa. Mi hijo tenía la parrilla mixta y yo la tagina. Ambos buenos, habría preferido un poco más de especias en el eslogan, es decir, comino, ajo, limón, etc, ya que podría ser bastante soso. No teníamos desierto. No hay mucha elección de vino y sus limonadas y refrescos caseros son muy refrescantes y sabrosos. Elección de alcohol limitada. Sin duda volveré de nuevo. Tiene uno de esos menús que quieres probar de todo. Estaba muy ocupado con clientes mixtos, estudiantes, parejas, familia, niños, que fue genial ver

Had the best service and hospitality by ermiona

First time visiting and was so impressed! Ermiona was so lovely and looked after us brilliantly! The food was delicious. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Ermiona kasia very food perfect service

Very good and lovely place with amazing staff. Thanks to Grisilda and Hermione for the best service

1st time in here last night we had the sharer for 2. Great selection. Amazing food. Service was a bit slow when we wanted to pay. Definitely recommend it here 👌

Ermiona grisilda was great, very smily and helpful. Thank you!

Great food, location and atmosphere but the staff let it down. Got greeted and the waitress looked angry and pointed to our table instead of actually shown and seated down, took way to long to come and serve us for each thing, instead they was just walking around finding other things to do. Only time they were prompt with coming over is when we had to pay.

Ermiona Griselda It’s very beautifully decorated and the food is great. Authentic Lebanese kitchen!

Great service from our waitress Katie! Great food we definetly be back!

One of my favourite restaurants such a lovely warm atmosphere, food is amazing and I’d recommend the sangria

Nice place and nice food also. Few plates may be a bit overpriced!

Grisilda and Ermiona served me while having an amazingly view with the most delicious food and baklava! Beside of excellent food,drinks and great view and location there were an excellent service from these two ladies as well. I can only recommend!

Service was great!!! The salmon was to die for!!

The best Lebanese food and I love the decor plus the service is always good

Fab, while I may have not been able to pronounce everything on the menu we group ordered and everything was fabulous, especially the tea we were recommended.

A must see in Reading! Delicious, refreshing, overall a great place to visit, no matter how well acquainted you are with middle eastern cuisine.

A really beautiful, lovely place, excellent food an, staff and atmosphere. Absolutely loved it! Grisilda was extremely kind and courteous.

An all round perfect experience, food was amazing, perfect customer service. Definitely recommend.

Ermiona was wonderful! The food and homemade lemonade was delicious :) thank you!

Excellent Service from the minute we walked through the door . We were hosted by Kanina who was a credit to customer service - thanks for a great time Alex P

Not a bad food like for a chain restaurant. Aperol Spritz for £11 should be at least two times bigger. Lots of dust on decorations unfortunately…

Ermioni served us and was amazing we had such a great time!!

Really impressed, very relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, good food. Note - This is not a posh, Michelin star place. The decorations are really colourful, the theme is brilliantly done. The waiters and waitresses were really friendly and on point. The food was flavoursome, colourful, authentic. My brother and I left very happy.

Delicious food especially the chicken kebab 😋

Excellent supportive advance planning for an 80th birthday big family meal. Gluten free, vegan, 'fussy eaters' and last minute changes all catered for brilliantly. Great service from all staff on the day too. Thank you for such a memorable day. We made a photo book!

Me and my friend had a lovely time here, tried something different and was lovely ❤️The vibe of the place is so vibrant and positive 😉Nice food and good place to enjoy your meal with a nice view 🥰

It’s a very cute restaurant by the river, with a vibrant Mediterranean vibe and colourful windows. Lamb and chicken kofta are full of flavours and their Tony’s Hommos is arguably one of the best hummus dishes I’ve had in my life.

The food is fantastic, tasty, beautifully presented. The service is also very nice, polite. I highly recommend it!❤️

The ambience and decor is really warm and inviting. And it’s in a great location both being at The Oracle but also on the river. The orientation is great too because the sun shines through the windows and lights up the place, and sitting by the window looking at the river made for a really nice experience. The food is delicious although I think the portion sizes could be a little bigger. The grilled meat was really well cooked and flavoured, the salad was fresh and had nice seasoning with the pomegranate powder and lemon juice. The waitress was very friendly and helpful, accommodating a few small changes/requests. I have heard from friends that they have had bad service but as I have only been once I cannot comment on this as our experience was great. Perhaps just the odd waiter or two. The place as a whole is run efficiently and seems friendly. I recommend this restaurant for a tasty lunch or dinner.

I recently visited Comptoir Libanais and found the experience underwhelming. I ordered the mixed grill, and a kids' meal for my daughter, but neither of us felt the food lived up to the price. My daughter didn’t really enjoy her meal. On the positive side, the interior is beautifully decorated, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, the food just didn’t meet expectations, especially given the high prices.

Liked the atmosphere - soup was really good - Thanks

Quantity is such that a cat would have to sleep empty stomach after spending almost 60-70 quid. Just average food quality with undeserving and uselessly inflated price. Much better is available nearby.

I brought my friends from work to this restaurant to have a couple of starters. The overall experience was amazing, I really enjoyed the music and the Lebanese wings from the menu.

İ went with my sister and I had ate a halloumi burger and the staff that took our order was very polite. He was tall and had dark brown wavy hair.
