Comptoir Libanais Gloucester Road in Kensington and Chelsea

the best food everrrr, thanks to the best sevice from ashish

Food is always great. Service friendly, especially Ashish.

Very attentive customer service from Shahzad

Very good food and charming staff

Had such a great time here with my mum—she's never had Lebanese food before, and now she's a fan! The atmosphere was beautiful, especially the flowers. Honestly, I’m in love with how the place looks. The kitchen chef Awa was super flexible and really helpful, especially with my picky kids (which is always a challenge when eating out). The manager also came by to check if we were happy with everything, which was a really nice touch. She brought the hat with the quizzes for kids so they would not be bored while waiting for a food. And the food… I can’t even explain how good it was. So full of flavor, every dish was amazing. I also had the red Sangria—highly recommend it! The whole place felt clean, fresh, and welcoming. I’ll definitely be back. 100% worth five stars.

We had a lovely meal here after the London marathon - great food and great service from Bhagi. Would come again!

Thanks to Bhagi for the service!

The food was delicious! So close to home 😋 And the employees and staff were wonderful. Shout out to Ashish!! So wonderful and kind

The restaurant is brightly colored and excitingly designed. The service was very nice and accommodating. Food and drink were very good!

While feeling hungry, I was looking for a levantian meal. In the middle of London, I found Comptoir Libanais. What a treat. The restaurant has an inviting setting. The feast was delicious. The manager made sure all of our dining needs were met. Merci Ashish!

Great Location for libanese food. Lovely and friendly service by Ashish. Ambiente is very lovely and exciting furnished. All in all a 10 out of 10!

Good location. Quite pleasant interior. Really good food. Kids options. Decent service. Don’t need to wait for more than 10 minutes before to get your meal. Beirut pilsner beer is fantastic. Recommended

All very rich. BHAGI took care of us very well. A great experience. Advisable

The food was absolutely perfect! We also ordered dessert, which was delicious, too. The service was more than excellent. Bhagi, the waiter was very polite and friendly. I definitely recommend this place!!!

I absolutely loved the ambience of the restaurant it felt like I’d stepped out of London and into a hidden gem. The floral touches and vintage vibes created such a dreamy, relaxed atmosphere. The food was amazing, especially the mixed grill, though I do wish the portion was a little bigger. And the lemonade flavours? So refreshing and unique! Such a lovely spot I’ll definitely be coming back.

Really delicious food and super nice staff 😊🤩 We will come again to eat 😊

The food is quite delicious but the service is bad

Superb food, location, service. Very clean restaurant well decorated and tables can be reserved here which is great when celebrating a birthday or other special occasion. Staff were wonderful, and the food was superb as sways. Love the lamb kofta open wrap and the fresh traditional lemonades! We try to visit every time we're in London, wish we lived closer!

Lovely restaurant a short walk from Gloucester Road underground and the natural history museum. The meze starter for 2 amazing and Lamb tagine and flatbread wrap as suggested by the waiter equally as good. We ate early after being to the V&A so it was quiet, nice decor. Lovely service by B.D and Ashish.

I had dinner at this restaurant yesterday. I had never tried Lebanese food before and I was charmed. I ordered roasted salmon with tomato sauce and chickpeas. The dish was excellent. The food was hot and well presented, the portion was adequate for the price and the drink I ordered was very good. The atmosphere is very pleasant and the waiter who served me was extremely charming and kind. I will definitely visit the restaurant again very soon.

We had a wonderful meal tonight, and Bhagi was our lovely waiter. Yummy FOOD and SERVICE…can’t wait to revisit here soon.

Amazing lunch, thank you to the team!

I recently visited this restaurant and, unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations. As a tourist, you might be willing to give it a try, but if you appreciate good food, it’s quite disappointing. The portions were very small for the price, which was a letdown considering Lebanese food is often known for its hearty servings. One of the most off-putting things was the green pepper we got from the jar — it was actually rotten, which was pretty unpleasant. The bread for the open wrap chicken shawarma was stone cold, like it had come straight from the fridge or been defrosted in a hurry. It made the whole meal feel rushed and unappetizing. We got a mix grilled (£20) were the chicken wings and the shawarma was overcooked, the open chicken wrap £16 had only half chicken breast chopped in 6 pieces and half plate was salad. The chicken rice salad bowl had something sour in the rice, and had 3 sauces on top ( red chilli, sour cream and the green was a mix of uncooked spices). The staff, however, were polite, which was the only saving grace of the experience. Unfortunately, when the food falls short, even the best service can’t make up for it. Overall, not a place I would recommend for those seeking a satisfying Lebanese meal.

Ashish was very accommodating, attentive and just lovely! Food was delicious, we loved it so much we came back twice with in 4 days on Holiday.

Asish the waiter gave a nice service, we thank him

Very nice people and very good food. I love to come every time I visit London.

Great food, great service. Bhagi was very attentive!

Beautiful restaurant and INCREDIBLE food and very fun and original drinks. Ashish and B.D. were incredibly kind and helpful. Would definitely come here again!

Ashish and B.D. provided great service and the food was all amazing!! Such unique drinks and delicious food as well as a wonderful restaurant atmosphere.

Bhagi provided excellent service, witg wonderful food that was fresh and fast!

Bhagi is a fantastic waiter. We loved the food so much and have had such a good experience that we have been here three times in one week!

The food was delicious and the interior is beautiful but the service was disappointing. I had booked a table for 5:45, but when I arrived, I was offered a seat by the window, even though there were plenty of seats inside. The window seat was drafty and cold as the door was slightly open, despite asking to move, I was told all other seats were reserved. After my friend arrived, she too was shivering. I asked again and was finally moved, but was told we could only stay for an hour and a half, which was fine, but not a very pleasant thing to hear. Interestingly, the whole time we were there no one came to the reserved seats anyway. Please prioritise the customers u have in the restaurant first. The staff seemed inexperienced—there were no water refills, I had to clean the table myself when the mains were brought, and we had to wait a long time for the bill. They also took my friend's unlocked phone to scan the barcode, which didn’t feel very safe. Overall, while the food was great, the staff seemed disorganised , and it wasn't the most comfortable dining experience.

Esto es imprescindible cuando mis amigos y familiares me visitan. Awa es uno de los chefs de allí. Su presencia, su vibra, su gran sonrisa, su positividad y su sabor - faire son solo algunos de los que pude sentir y probar en el restaurante. Fui a tres de ellos (Sloane Square, London Bridge y Gloucester Road) en Londres. Todas están bellamente decoradas, con un ambiente cálido y colorido, un servicio muy agradable y amable, una buena variedad en el menú (para los niños también) de entrantes, platos compartidos a los postres y carta de vinos. El precio en general es asequible. Los platos están bien presentados, sabrosos y coloridos. Vine con amigos y con la familia para comer y cenar y siempre me he sentido bienvenido. Sin duda volveré a visitar y recomiendo encarecidamente ese lugar.

Delicious food that we had the opportunity to taste before visiting the Natural History Museum. The atmosphere inside is great, the minus is crowds and noise, but what can you expect in London...;) we paid £62 for two courses, a drink, a small beer and baklava. Service included in the bill

We had a lovely time for an impromptu mum and daughter dinner. Ashish was a great host. Thank you!

Ashish was wonderful and the food was amazing!

Food was delicious and the overall aesthetic of the restaurant was wonderful. Would definitely recommend to everyone of all-ages. Big thanks to Bhagi for taking care of the service.

I chose the Iftar menu as I am observing Ramadan and it looked great in terms of options and price

Tasty food and great atmosphere.

Lovely food, friendly service and fairly priced.

Outstanding Lebanese restaurant! The dishes are exquisite, with authentic and fresh flavours. The staff is extremely kind and helpful, always ready to advise and make the experience even more pleasant. The prices are really affordable for the quality of the food. When I return to London, I will definitely eat there again. Highly recommended!

Absolutely stunning food! So tasty, loved it. Will definitely be back when next in London.

It’s authentic and the staff are excellent. We came as tourists and typically don’t eat anywhere twice. This was so good we came back.

We ordered based on quick delivery time, long delivery time was displayed we tried to cancel, I called and they had no order, so I called another 2 outlets all with no order, food did arrive with very small portions and many items missing items, bad

Restaurante animado y colorido, fragante con los alimentos que se cocinan. Mi hija sugirió que comiéramos aquí como una reminiscencia de su primera noche comiendo en Londres durante un viaje de estudios al extranjero hace 8 años. El personal era muy amable y la comida era deliciosa! Comería allí de nuevo. Comimos aperitivos y sopa de lentejas ya que habíamos comido un almuerzo más pesado ese día.

Had my birthday at the restaurant in Gloucester road. Daniel was so helpful and we preordered food as it was such a large group. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent.

La cucina libanese mi è sempre piaciuta e quello che si mangia in questo ristorante è molto vicino alla cucina libanese del Libano. Servizio veloce (anche troppo) e cortese. Un antipasto e un piatto principale + una birra = £ 42 … ci sta.

I’ve visited Comptoir Libanais on Gloucester Road and in Chelsea, and both locations are fantastic. The atmosphere is really warm and inviting, with lovely, colorful décor that makes the whole place feel vibrant and unique. The food is incredible—packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. I had the mixed grill, and it was just right. The portions weren’t too big, unlike what you might get at other Lebanese restaurants, which I much preferred. Everything tasted so fresh and beautifully balanced. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. The service was quick and efficient, but you never felt rushed. Overall, it’s a great spot for anyone who loves good food and a relaxed, welcoming vibe. Definitely a 10/10—I’ll be coming back for sure!

Very expensive, bland food with small portions. So close to many London attractions, they are not short of customers so one would expect a better experience

We went to Comptoir Libanais in Gloucester Road on Saturday. The food was absolutely delicious. There is no availability to book on line but we hadn't realised we could have made a reservation over the phone ( our mistake!). As a result the restaurant was full. However, Daniel, I assume the manager that day, couldn't have been aand more helpful and found us a table in the lower level. The service was excellent and the staff were very friendly. We would highly recommend.

Comida fenomenal, comida absolutamente preciosa, lo recomendaría totalmente aquí 100% y visitar de nuevo. El servicio fue amable y cálido y nos sentimos muy atendidos. Increíble decoración. Y todo alrededor fabuloso restaurante.

Thanks to Awa and her colleagues for the welcome. Magnificent restaurant and it’s very good and the quantities are generous! Looking forward to coming back to eat there

I recommend this restaurant which offers very delicious dishes that fill your stomach well!

We went for birthday and place was amazing and the ambiance was excellent and the service we got from Iram was outstanding we would love to visit again. ♥️

Ashish best waiter! food very delicious, espacially the hummus and the baclava :)

ashish is the best, service is very friendly and the food is amazing

This is my go to place for food!! Me and my brother had Ashish as our waiter and he made sure to deliver some amazing and fast service. The aesthetics of the restaurant are also really warm and inviting, so it’s easy to get comfortable- not only that the food was incredible, really filling portions and had diverse flavours.

Good experience. I recommend. I really liked the chich taouk, not dry at all, on the contrary very tender, a soft rice pilaf and very well seasoned raw vegetables, as I don't usually like raw vegetables. I liked it too much.

Restaurant with beautiful decor, attentive service and delicious food. I loved it!

Food was flavourful but the price and portion size are really not. The service was pretty bad, they never bought our drinks nor checked on us once.

I was there for a dinner, I must say that for lovers of spicy but very spicy food, I had garlic breath all evening... the service was not friendly and needs improvement.

Very cozy, chic decor. Prices ok average. Food was good

We drank some peppermint tea and ate two pieces of baklava. Reasonably priced, tea and food very good. Staff quick and friendly.

Ashish was very friendly and provided my family and I with great service! The atmosphere is gorgeous and we went twice in our visit to London. The Mezze Platter was our favorite dish because it was great to share.

Comptoir Libanais offers a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere with authentic Lebanese dishes. The flavors are rich and well-balanced, making it a great spot for a delicious and hearty meal. The colorful decor adds a cheerful touch, enhancing the dining experience.

Truly delightful place! Cheery atmosphere and delicious food. I couldn’t ask for more! Ashish was our wonderful host!

Epically delicious food, good portions and beautiful atmosphere. The service was very attentive and friendly

Second time to order and received the wrong order request, always i find extra topping things on the order, and they change it up for me, i really don’t accept the exploit they use just to add extra money on the bill!!!!!

Ashish and the team were superb the. Food was fantastic will definitely visit again

The food is delicious but the amounts are very high

I saw a gril working there she was heating the Falafel in the oven.

Lovely food, friendly helpful and attentive staff, we were looked after by Ashish who gave us brilliant service. Would highly recommend 👌

disappointed with the service, a chicken tajine that looks more like the remains of a stew served in bowls of soup....only the decor, as in the advertisement, is disappointing and I apologize to my dear guest for the bad choice I made in choosing this restaurant.

Apart from the decoration which mixes the countries of the Maghreb as well as Lebanon with the floral decoration which is not to everyone's taste, I find that it is too busy and it also reflects the tastes of the dishes and their identities. A tagine if you don't know how to make it, don't make it or do it correctly. I'm not teaching you how to do it but I just want you to respect the culinary art of each traditional dish to put it in the spotlight. It’s about mixing specialties but you have to know how to master them. I was very disappointed.

Chef was absolutely amazing-food was fancy

Ashish, top and excellent food, I highly recommend!! 😋😋

Ashish, kind, cute, efficient, top. Hi Ale from Rome ❤️💋

Ashish was very kind, I recommend

Brilliant service, fantastic food and a relaxed and welcoming vibe.

Very nice experience. Taste-wise, the mezze plate is very well balanced. Bravo also for the cocktail it was great 👍

I was served by the waitress EKTA, very attentive and polite, really different. We ordered two dishes, both very tasty. I will definitely be back on my next trip to London.

The service was very good and we were very well received. Food also of excellent quality. We spent 5 days in London and here was our best dinner.

A diverse Arabic restaurant with a distinctive taste in the Kensington area

The restaurant is nice and functionally furnished. You shouldn't expect pink, elegant or hip furnishings. This doesn't make the food any better if it were. But the food is really great. The soup was super hot, the main course was also freshly cooked and hot. Service was very nice. We had two waiters who took turns. When it came to tipping (10%) I was asked if I was really sure. I answered yes. The waiter thanked us 4 times. Overall a great experience. I would like to go there again.

Hemos comido en 2 lugares diferentes de esta cadena, y ambos eran muy acogedores, la comida era muy buena, y sin duda recomendaría. Teníamos el schwarma, y diferentes tagines. Los postres eran fantásticos. El lugar era bullicioso.

Such good food and service!! Highly recommend this place! Friendly staff. Daniel was the best! Very attentive and forthcoming. The starters were amazing… I was too late to take a picture.. I already ate it all.

We had a great time here. Daniel was a great host. Thanks again Daniel and the other members of the crew. We love you!

The lebanese servant was rude and aggressive. Uncalled for behavior when my family and I were just trying to order some food. We cancelled our order and left. Never returning to this place again. It seems from other reviews that this is how he normally behaves with customers and management isn’t doing anything about it.

Venimos aquí todos los años a la vuelta del Festival del Recuerdo en el Royal Albert Hall por la buena comida y el servicio amable y hoy no fue la excepción. Cada artículo de comida era perfecto en términos de sabor, presentación y variedad. Todas las bebidas eran únicas y abundantes. El servicio desde la cálida bienvenida hasta el pago de la factura fue amable, atento y genuino. Nos encanta la decoración y el ambiente y los baños son los más vibrantes de Londres! Volveremos en un año!

Unfortunately, the meat is tough The style of some employees is not good and I was surprised The price is not worth it for its quality. The place is just as nice as the ambiance There are better options than him

When you hop off a tour bus and the first thing that greets you is a Lebanese restaurant and you have been dying to try Lebanese food, it’s fate! The vibe here is very welcoming, and the decor places you in an outdoor restaurant overlooking a desert view except you are inside. Foliage and flowers hang and decorate as well as colorful art and unique furniture. This is a place where I felt like taking off my shoes, grabbing a pillow, putting my legs up with a platter of something warm, drinking mint tea, chatting with friends while the meal was cooking. The hospitality was amazing, and the food even better. Start with the Mezze Platter, a nice combination of hommos, baba ghanouj, tabbouleh, falafel, natural labne, cheese sambousek, warm flatbread, and hot pickles. This pairs well with the Kiara Clos St. Alphonse Rouge and hot Fresh Rose Mint Tea. This meal begins with the eyes, everything on the plate is a work of art, and the mix of flavors is a tantalizing experience for your taste buds. If you have always wanted to try a Tagine, have the Chicken & Green Olive. It’s chicken, carrots, lemon confit, green olives and I prefer couscous over quinoa whenever I have the option. For those looking for a meat free meal, the Aubergine & Chickpea is eggplant, tomato, onion and chickpeas over quinoa. My only mistake was not ordering kebabs, I saw them float by and land on other tables and the smell had my eyes following and my mouth watering. Since I would enjoy nothing more than to visit this restaurant on my next trip to London, I will make sure I complete that mission with the next meal. I really had no idea what to expect, I figured Lebanese food would have some similarities to Persian food but wasn’t really sure, and I am glad we made the decision to give Comptoir a “go” as they say in England! Yes guys, the service charge is already included on the ticket, but since the hospitality was wonderful, we left an additional tip, but it’s not expected. You will also see VAT (value added tax) included, so no need to question the staff like they are over charging you. If you are looking to expand your culinary adventures, this is a great place to start. The restaurant is a work of art, the food is amazing, the service staff welcoming and warm. So if you find yourself in London off Gloucester Road desiring something wonderful, check out Comptoir Libanais, and don’t forget to tell them Unnerved Traveler sent you! Enjoy

Delicious food lead by chef Awa who checked on us if everything taste good, Lovely service by Ashish, 10/10 recommended

We had a great evening at Comptoir Libanais. The food was very delicious, the waiter (Ashish) was very kind and did a great job. Also the decoration and interior of the restaurant is so lovely! We would definitely recommend the location. 😍

A meal that satisfies you and at the same time is delicious. I ordered chicken kofta (kebab) and spicy potatoes, and the food came quickly and hot 👏.

Food was phenomenal. Fresh, tasty and beautifully displayed.

Stopped off here after a pleasant day at the V&A, good food, but I am not particularly impressed with the way the staff are spoken to.

VERY EXPENSIVE compared to the tiny portion size. One tiny flat bread costs more than 2 pounds, and this is a Lebanese/Arab restaurant, so most visitors expect to order bread. I would never go back.

My oldest and dearest friend introduced me to this absolutely amazing food as he has been recently travelling extensively all over the world. The food is fantastic and the service and atmosphere was above and beyond any expectation I might have had. Not only that, you would have thought that being in one of the most expensive areas of London, the prices would be ridiculous but no, very very reasonable. They come HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Enjoyed a lamb tagine, chicken wings and a nice tea with a friend. Friendly and helpful staff, nice decor, tasty meals.

Interesting place, mixture between Lebanese and Moroccan style. Tasty lebanese food, probably also the Tajine, but I didn't tried it this time. Staff is friendly and helpful. For sure again.
