Diwan Restaurant in City of London, Westminster

I went for dinner with my two daughters. The staff were very friendly, welcoming and professional. The food was great. Great portions worth the price. Would recommend.

It’s very casual and it’s very good! Authentic menu of the usual Lebanese offering, but fresh ingredients , great flavouring, efficient service all combine to help this beat all other similar restaurants, and great value too! Def worth a try!!

This place is a hidden gem - looks can be deceiving, because it looks fairly small and basic. But the food is excellent, service pretty fast and the prices are surprisingly reasonable for this area of London.

My wife and I went to Diwan recently for dinner. I work in Central London and love visiting different places for dinner. Lebanese food is one of our favorites and this place was really good. Chicken shish and lamb kofte were both quite tasty. Had the chili hummus which was also good. Not too busy other than fair amount of takeaways so service was very attentive. Indoor and outdoor seating options. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend. Amazing food hummus taboule lamb shawarma chicken shawarma all spot on. Finishing it off with the Lebanese famous rice pudding as a dessert. A place not to be missed

Overpriced, rather mediocre food with condescending service, in an area that has so many more places offering better value for the money. Not recommended.

Restaurant located in Thayer St Marylebone on a corner location with small indoor dining space with open grill and some outside seating for food and shisha. Basic Lebanese foods done well. Shawarma platters were huge and tasty and nice selection of Arabic appetisers. Few Lebanese wines also available which are worth a try. Great value spot for a quick lunch.

We (6) booked this as an alternative Christmas lunch - no Xmas decorations, no turkey on the menu. We did take our Xmas crackers and no-one seemed to mind. We had one starter that we picked at between us, six mains (one a wrap) and soft drinks for just under £25 a head. Everyone said their food was delicious. Would definitely go there again and would be happy to recommend it to a friend.

Visited earlier in the year, only just posting review now, however have visited here now on a couple of occasions, the food is excellent and we were made to feel welcome. We will hopefully be visiting again this weekend as we are visiting London once again.

More if a diner than a restaurant with delicious food. The lamb was very high quality. House wine - Lebanese- we also enjoyed a lot. Staff are friendly. We would love to come back and try a few more dishes.

Had lunch at Diwan with friends. The welcome and service was great and the food was excellent. All of us had lived or visited the Middle East and Eastern Mediterranean and we all thought the food was authentic Lebanese and excellent quality.

We booked a table for Friday evening to celebrate a friend’s birthday. The food was lovely and plenty but unfortunately the service was slow and the waiting staff were not attentive - we had to repeatedly ask for things we had ordered i.e. flatbread, water. Then as soon as we finished eating they immediately brought the bill without us asking for it - I found it rude and the fact that they were clearly in a rush to get us out, made me feel very unwelcome. The way they handled it, was unpleasant and my friends and I felt uncomfortable and embarrassed. The short explanation we got was that there are people waiting because somehow they overbooked and they needed our table. Unfortunately this soured the mood as we wanted to present our friend with a birthday cake after the meal but as we were made to leave, we couldn’t celebrate the way we had planned. If you want to have a quick meal, the food is nice but if you want to have a lovely dining out experience, I would recommend you go somewhere else.

Ordered takeaway. OMG! Food was AMAZING!Meat was tender, full of flavour, fresh. Rice, dips, sausages, hummus was sooooo good!Portions are huge! Meals were definitely worth the price👍Well done guys😊 we will order again from you.

Me and my boyfriend order a delivery from Diwan at least once a week for over a year now and they ALWAYS do top quality food in the nicest possible condition. I would really like to thank every person working there for making an effort and always giving the best quality. We never got disappointed and always got top food from this place. The portions are very generous. The meat is fresh, tasty and grilled to perfection. The bread is amazing and the salads come with best vegetables and high quality ingredients. This is really our to go place for those days when we don't have time to cook. Thank you for making a lot of our evenings wonderful with the food that you make! All of the best to your business!

Very good food, fresh made and big variety, great quality for price. Very kind and fast service. Went there with my kids and they loved it. They offered us as a courtesy some baklava as dessert. Recommended for a casual dinner.

This is a small Lebanese restaurant with some seating outside for shish smokers. My favourite Lebanese restaurant was Beirut Express on Edgeware Road that closed some 2 years ago for a new development and has now been relocated in what was a Moroccan restaurant on...

Food was beautiful and very authentic, Michael was so lovely in facilitating our requests and made our experience wonderful.

This small Lebanese restaurant serves authentic Lebanese food and is much better than most of the Lebanese/Middle Eastern restaurants on Edgeware Road. The service was very attentive and the quality of food excellent. No alcoholic drinks but a choice of fresh juices.

This is a small Lebanese restaurant with some outside tables. We just stopped for a lunchtime snack and the food was excellent.

Went here for an evening meal on my own. Opted for a Batata Harra starter and the Lahem Meshwi platter main course. The starter was nothing special, but passable. However, when it came to the main meal, instead of getting a platter they offered up...

I used to live in the Middle East for many years and loved the wonderful friendly customer service and the local food. Hence being on business in London my business partner and I decided to visit this restaurant. The waiters only greeted and interacted with...

I have visited Diwan many times over the years as it makes for a convenient lunch spot. The food has a traditional Lebanese flavour to it that comes close to how Teta (grandmother) would make it. Excellent fatoush, hummous, foul mudammas, falafel and shawarma. They...

Good food & service with a BYOB ! Enjoyed all the platters though they do not inform you to not order a salad since every platter comes with one! So unfortunately lots of salad left at the table !

My latte was made to perfection. Staff are generous and super friendly. If you are a Sheesha lover like myself then you should definitely try the Sheesha here. I always start my day with their Sheesha and latte.

I live in the area, and have often walked past Diwan without stopping. However, this lunch time I really didn't want to cook myself, it was a warm sunny day and sandwiches are too 'bready' and heavy so I thought a light Middle Eastern meal...

We had dinner here last Thursday and it was very good. Starter: Shredded Lamb in Houmous and Grilled Halloumi which was amazing. Hubby had a mixed grill as his main which he enjoyed whilst I opted for the Marinated Chicken which was delicious. Friendly and...

Went here for some Shisha and some drinks on Friday night. The place was pretty much empty and we sat outside. We were told that if we wanted Shisha we had to order food, and even though we had just eaten, we said no problem,...

We had twice dinner at Diwan resturant the service, the food are perfect, the staff are very kind and nice. We ate mezza and salads and had shisha and once we finished the offered us free Baklawa which was very nice of them and really...

The food is excellent even though it is more like a café. A lot of Lebanese there which is a goo sign. They also have different daily specials which apparently which are worth trying.

An amazing experience with the family. Very child friendly and staff are very accommodating. Quality of food is superb and everything tastes so fresh. Will definitely be going there more often.

The title says it all - there are better places for food with more friendly service two minutes away at any of the Maroush restaurants on edgware road.
