Comptoir Libanais Gloucester Road in Kensington and Chelsea

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

Had a lovely meal with colleagues and food was great

Fantastic place, highly recommended!

Ashish was great, very kindly. He recommended us all the typical libanese dishese!

We stopped in for a bite and happened to arrive at happy hour. We were able to pick and choose a few menu for a really great price. Everything was so good, but the potatoes and hummus really stood out. The decor inside the restaurant was super cute and casual and everyone was so friendly as well. I would definitely recommend checking them out.

Good food Cosy atmosphere Bad point they charge you 12% for the service, you figure it out at the end when it comes to pay. Am not even sure it's written somewhere I did not see it to be fair and I find this absolutely nonsense and a lack of honesty. Be true and honest towards your clients and for your prices it's abusive. Try to review that charge or at least make sure your clients get the info.

Comptoir Libanais in London is a gem of a Lebanese restaurant that both my wife and I absolutely love. The vibrant, colorful décor instantly transports you to the Middle East, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. We ordered the mixed grill and the mezze platter, and both were simply delicious. The mixed grill was perfectly cooked, with tender, flavorful meats, while the mezze platter offered a wonderful variety of traditional Lebanese dishes, each bursting with authentic flavors. The service was friendly and efficient, adding to the overall excellent dining experience. Highly recommend for anyone craving a taste of Lebanon

Delicious food, our waitress Ekta was spectacular. I would definitely recommend this place

Had the friendliest manager take my order. He was so kind and cheerful he really made my day. Plus the food is delicious. I absolutely love their lamb wrap and lemonade. Great place for both a meal and a takeaway.

The staff are very friendly, and Ekta was an excellent hostess, providing efficient service. The ambiance is warm, and the food is absolutely delicious.

Wow this was a real great Mediterranean experience for me. Thanks a lot Amisha and Sagar for making this a memorable place. It is definitely a place I would return many times.

Totally disappointed by this restaurant, lousy cuisine and the same service, plus it's super expensive the last time we set foot there. I strongly advise against it!!

The food was extremely delicious the best libanais food I have eaten. The service was amazing. Highly recommend

Very tasty food, I recommend it! Very kind waiters , Ashish specifically took my orders and made sure I am happy with my meal and all.

The restaurant is amazing , the food absolutely delicious, best food we have eaten in London !! Our waiter Bhagi , attentive, knowledgeable about the food !! The whole place has an atmosphere that draws you in ! If ever in London again will definitely come back !!

This place has incredibly delicious food. The salmon is spot on. The chocolate and tahini mousse is amazing. This is one of the best meals I’ve had in London. Ekta and Sandeep are so wonderful.

Lovely food and friendly service, I would definitely be back.

Lovely meal. Many thanks to Sandeep for his excellent service and kindness.

If you are passionate about Middle Eastern cuisine, AVOID IT! A low quality fast food restaurant with London prices.

The best part of my meal was the water. I ate roasted salmon with traditional salad, fattoush. The fish was nicely cooked, but I didn't like the creamy sauce it was bathing in. The salad, on the other hand, was inedible, way too salty and bitter. Even when I told this to the waiter, I still had to pay for both this terrible salad and the service. All the waiter had to say was like, "Oh, I will let the schef know."

Having a department event here, was so delicious the menu. You should try the dessert as well.

It’s was very nice experience, the food was amazing and Ashish served as very well

Amazing food returned two nights in a row! Great service. Catered very well to gluten free Highly recommend!!

Great service, food was pretty good but not great (baklava were dry), atmosphere was a bit too fake for my taste.

The food was perfect: very tasty and perfectly cooked. We ordered a feast to share (with aubergine tajine, couscous and chicken) and every single item was delicious. We highly recommend and we will come back for sure. Everything was perfect.

I was extremely impressed with this place, everything beginning with the service (Daniel, thanks a ton!) and the food, atmosphere - top-notch👌🏻

I come back to London after many years, quality unchanged since Covid in this place! Very good food and gentle personal.

Beautifully decorated and great food. Loved it

My wife and I had a terrific dinner here on a Sunday evening. We ordered from the Prix Fixe menu and it was all amazing. Good selection of mezze and mains - everything cooked to perfection and so flavourful.

So pleased to stumble across this place. Beautiful food and the friendliest of staff… it felt like we were visiting friends!

Anisha and Daniel were fantastic! Food was delicious, authentic, and well priced. First day in London and I felt so welcomed by the resturant and the cool atmosphere. Will be coming back . Cool smiley emoji

Wonderful, 10/10, great staff great food

Delicious food, lovely service by Amisha and colleagues and great atmosphere.

Excellent food and very friendly service by the lovely waitress Ekta

Ashish was amazing with his service. Very fast and ensured our order was presented well. He had a wonderful smile on his face. 10/10 customer service. Will definitely be back!

We have been going here for the past few evenings and we could only describe our experience in one singular word:exquisite. The service is fast, the staff ( Ashish and the whole team ) is cordial and the food is delicious.

Lovely food. Really good quality. Bhagi was a lovely waiter

Great service and excellent food.

Fantastic food and services, especially they have a sweet buy 2 get 1 free event

Food and our server, Bhagi were great. Thank you

We had a great meal. Bhagi helped us and was great!

Great food & good service .. thanks to bhagi so friendly & cooperative 🙏🏻

Sagar was a great waiter today- very kind, attentive and smiley!

Been here several times in recent years Very very lovely staff / friendly service. Food. Coffee EXCELLENT . Which is why I’ve been here several times ! Jason

Lovely food and wine. We were looked after by Sagar who couldn't have been more helpful.

Cibo squisito, personale professionale e gentile e prezzi modesti. abbiamo scelto la location di gloucester road perchè vicina ns hotel e il locale ha anche una location molto carina.

Been here a couple of times and the food is delicious, service prompt and friendly without being overbearing. Baghi was so friendly and helpful recommending dishes

Stopped by as this place is right by our hotel and always seems busy. Food was delicious! Everything was prepared excellent. Bhagi our server was very attentive and great with the kids. Highly recommend!!!

Sundip is well fit mind, would come again

I could eat the Mama Zohra salad every single day for the rest of my life and die happy. Comptoir Libanais is such a great restaurant, with a lively decor, great service, and delicious food. Last year I was lucky enough to stumble across the South Kensington location before a trip to the V&A, and this vacation we chose this one, closer to our hotel. Beside the Mama Zohra salad, we had the falafel salad, fries, and fresh rose mint tea. We ordered more than we needed to; two lemonades, tea, olives, flatbread, and fries. You can skip the fries in favor of more of the warm flatbread. I can't wait for another trip to England for a chance to go back.

Daniel and team were great, had an amazing time with some incredible food

Mezze and mixed grill were terrific. And great service from Daniel.

Una mezcla maravillosa. Gran servicio de Daniel. Especialmente genial en el cuidado de mi compañero cuando se puso mal (no debido a la comida! )

the food is very tasty!! took chicken taouk , loved it. great service from Bhagi!!

Sandip provided excellent service.

Bright Lebanese inspired decore with colourful posters and bright lights and other decorations. Salads, burgers or traditional share plates of Lebanese dishes. Wine or beer available and friendly informative staff. Excellent dining experience. We'll be back.

Podría comer la ensalada Mama Zohra todos los días por el resto de mi vida y morir feliz. Comptoir Libanais es un gran restaurante, con una decoración animada, gran servicio y deliciosa comida. El año pasado tuve la suerte de tropezar con la ubicación de South Kensington antes de un viaje al V&A, y estas vacaciones elegimos este, más cerca de nuestro hotel. Era tan delicioso como recordaba. Junto a la ensalada Mama Zohra, tuvimos la ensalada de falafel, papas fritas y té de rosa menta recién hecho. Pedimos más de lo necesario; dos limonadas, té, aceitunas, pan plano y papas fritas. Puedes omitir las papas fritas en favor de más pan plano caliente. No puedo esperar a otro viaje a Inglaterra para tener la oportunidad de volver!

The Comptoir Libanais chain is an excellent chain and a great way to discover Lebanese cuisine. In all the locations we've visited, whether on Gloucester Road or elsewhere, I've consistently found high-quality food, excellent service, good cleanliness standards, and a very positive value for money.

Everything you would expect from a Comptoir Libanais. Very nice, although on a busy street.

Fantastic setting in a very vibrant part of london

Amazing food, super lovely service from Bhagi!

Great food. Quick to have our meals.

Faiz was a great waiter friendly and kind and always quick at serving.

Fantastic mixed grill and falafel.

Another delicious meal and wonderful service from Ashish. He made us feel so welcome and couldn’t do enough for us. Great upsell on desserts, which I’m thankful for as the rose tea and baklava was delicious. Thanks for having us, a real home from home.

Lamb kofta tagine was brilliant !

Husband and I came to this restaurant. Exceptional food and service by Faiz and his colleagues. We highly recommend this place!!

The meal and atmosphere was amazing. Daniel the manager made me feel very welcome and Faiz the waiter gave exceptional service and was a true gentleman. Bringing my entire family down from York next week and we will all be eating here again. Amazing food, great prices and amazing staff. I highly recommend.

Special thanks for FAIZ.. have been here twice and he was fast and amazing

Amazing service and hospitality! Especially from Ashish

Really enjoyed the Lebanese food here. Very flavorful and well spiced. Favorite were the halloumi and fig and the Sangria had a nice cinnamon flavor. Main entrees of lamb tagine and wrap were good And so was the falafel.

Very Nice food and service , recommended, Value of money

Everything was wonderful. Ashish was very attentive and friendly. The food and drinks were all amazing and the restaurant is a beautiful space.

Beautiful restaurant, delicious food, great service from Ashish!

Ashish was a great host, keep it up! :)

Loved the food and ambience , the service was excellent

Very nice food, great host Ashish, will definitely come back. Particularly recommend the Halloumi with figs, very tasty

Staff was very accommodating, and the i tried I would not say it was the best portion for x2 people and also the bread was not enough. Overall everything else went smoothly, just waited quite a bit for the portion of bread ordered the second time .

We came here to eat exhausted hot and tired. We were given a menu straight away with glasses of cold refreshing lemonade whilst we chose what to eat. After placing our order with the waiter we were asked about any allergies we may have, this is the first place we've ever eaten in that someone has asked about allergies. The food was prepared freshly in front of us, beautifully presented and the taste was impeccable. The bathroom facilities were clean and tidy and the soaps and Handwash smelt divine I don't remember the scent of the hanwash it was blackpepper with something else. I can't fault the service, food or the restaurant. Thank you for serving us.

I had a lovely mixed grill and the most amazing lemonade with rose syrup which was so heavenly a really a lovely place to enjoy your food plus amazing staff.

I had such a delightful time here! Ashish, who was serving us treated us like family. I took my mother there who has a language barrier and dietary restrictions. Ashish helped her find the perfect dish for her. The food was amazing, and the decor is fabulous. Highly recommend this particular branch!
