Ishbilia in Kensington and Chelsea

One of the best Lebanese restaurants! The service to the quality of food, ambience just everything was amazing! Portions were good size and good value of money. Highly recommend this to everyone! If you have a chance to be serviced by Rakan you would be sure to have a fun night!

Amazing service and good . Special mention to Noor and Eszter for their exceptional service.

I love Ishbilia! The food is amazing and the service is great, especially Rakan.

Visited Fattoush last night with some friends, food was excellent, Fattoush Salad was surprisingly excellent, despite having meat dishes this was the standout for me. They gave fresh vegetables and olives as soon as we sat at the table. Then we had Fattoush, houmus, zaatar manakish and batata Harra, all of which we enjoyed. Then I had the lamb chops for the mains which came with bread and grilled vegetables. Very good food and probably the best Arabic food I’ve had in London, look forward to visiting again. Only 4 stars as food is pricey but not like you visit every day

A nice vibes & atmosphere restaurant. Nice location, welcoming staff, fast service and delicious food. Always visit whenever in London.

The food is delicious and the staff there is very nice as well. I highly recommend.

Simply the best Lebanese restaurant in London. The food is always excellent as is the service. The staff are always friendly and attentive. We enjoy coming here for small occasions as well as big dinner parties. Highly recommended for a good Lebanese meal any time of day

Although the place has big windows it's got very poor lighting so it's hard to read the menu! The waitress didn't seem all that interested in my needs and I didn't feel particularly welcome! They also had these little side plates with these green shoots that sting so much when you eat them you have to stop eating them! In general it was grey and dismal experience! Pity because the food wasn't that bad!

We have been coming to Ishbilia for more than 20 years. The quality of the food is excellent every time. The service is excellent and the staff are very friendly and attentive.

The worst restaurant that can serve grape leaves, very bad. This is a picture of grape leaves. It is clear that the paper is of very poor quality, and the filling is unfortunately worse, and the grain is very large?? Unfortunately, some restaurants distort the image of Lebanese food?? I wonder if you can remove grape leaves from the menu, it is better than offering a failed product, and the fattoush is fine

Food was pleasant in general. The meats of any dish were tender and flavourful. The hummous - I didn’t really like it. A bit too pricy for certain dishes. Atmosphere was normal, with heating available for outdoor seating. Good service

great food and great service from Noor. best syrian/lebanese food in london hands down

The service and food were delicious. Rakan was very helpful with us. Excellent service and everything was clean and tidy.

The food was incredible, every dish was great. shoutout to Rakan for the amazing service, he made our experience unforgettable!

Brilliant Noor was amazing Food is incredible

The food and service was absolutely outstanding definitely recommend. The experience was enhanced with Rakan’s amazing hospitality.

Absolutely fantastic experience, the food was superb. The kanafa is highly recommended! Will definitely be back soon.

Great service, very short wait and excellent food

A wonderful place for a family Birthday dinner. Exceptional service... Thank you Zack.. and astounding food

Can't recommend enough! One of the best meals I've had in London and amazing service from Nima and Zafar. The perfect place for any celebration

Still unquestionably the best Lebanese food in London. Been coming here for over 20 years. Great ambiance, very tasty. Particularly appreciated our waiter Zack this evening, extremely professional and attentive, which is a rarity in London these days. We'll be back soon.

Nema and zafa were amazing hosts and the food was incredible, thank you!

Very pleased with service. Delicious food and friendly staff

This is one of those restaurants that you walk into and feel at home. We showed up without reservation on a very busy night and they worked us in. Within minutes., a bowl of (very) fresh vegetables arrived. We both ordered one of their specials and they came in large bowls with serving spoons making it easy to share. The food is excellent Lebanon. A French merlot by the glass was exceptional. Go soon.

I would say average to poor. Very over priced. Small portions. Subpar service, but the main issue was the poor quality of food with a hefty price tag. Was disappointing and wouldn’t go back unfortunately.

We were at Ishbilia five years ago and the food was wonderful. It’s a great Lebanese Restaurant and we couldn’t wait to come back. It didn’t disappoint. The staff, chef(s) consistently wonderful. An elegant restaurant that makes us want to return again and again. Wish we had them in Southern California!

Excellent flavors, freshly prepared, only outmatched by the superior service. Ishbilia needs to be on your list if you like unique dining experiences. Hummus, mixed grill, 5 stars

We loved the food and the service was great. Zafar was extremely nice and professional

Fresh and delicious food, great service by Zafar, the waiter who served us.

By far the best Lebanese / Syrian restaurant in London and the most consistent. Highly recommend

What a great experience! We were a team of 20… amazing service, amazing food, amazing atmosphere! You must go!

Excellent food and service! The only thing is k ordered hummus with cumin, I would recommend the other type. This was too dry for me. Overall the staff were super polite and accommodating. The restaurant was very busy which is a good thing. Lebanese food is divine. Absolutely recommended!

Reservation required Very beautiful and very, very sophisticated Lebanese taste I just asked for pineapple juice and the waiter said that the juice machine was broken 🥲 and this upset me a lot I thank my brother and beloved Yasser, who was at our service to the fullest. Thank you, Yasser, for your generous hospitality.

Very kind and helpful staff, splendid food and reasonable prices. They serve raw vegetables and olives as couver!!! We asked for one extra chilly pepper 🌶 to bring back home, and they packed 5 without extra charge. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

Very authentic and delicious Lebanese food. The grilled prawns are out of this world, all the food tastes like it’s made with very high quality ingredients. Highly recommend!

Consistently Top-notch Lebanese food, service and ambience for many years. Mourad made our dining experience even better!

Visiting from the US. Amazing food, recommended kibbeh nayeh.

Okra is above rating 😋 Beiruti meat awsal and chickpeas are also special 👌

I was anxious to try Ishbilia and it didn't disappoint. I started with Hummous. It was so fresh and good. I then had their Fatoush salad. It may be the best Fatoush salad I have ever had. It was so fresh and perfectly cut into the right sizes. The pomegranate vinaigrette is perfect. Not too light or too much on the salad. Then I had their Bamia. Hearty and healthy lamb okra stew. Very fresh and flavorful. Overall, the food is great. Zack assisted and recommended the different dishes. He was very knowledgeable and professional. Very friendly and engaging. While sitting at the outside dining area, I noticed how the staff was very professional and did a great job of welcoming the guests, with or without a reservation. I recommend making a reservation so you can get seated at the time you desire. I look forward to coming back.

Bad experience, the manager and staff treated us badly, and the bathroom was very dirty, which indicates that the place is not clean.

The food was really good!! However, the waiter made us feel uncomfortable for ordering mezze dishes "only" in a passive aggressive way. Then he got the order wrong and brought us two tabouleh and the batata harra got missed completely. The mezze dishes weren't servered at the same time. I would still recommend that place (but without that waiter :D).

This restaurant was amazing for my first time trying Lebanese food. Riad was extremely helpful in helping me select the appropriate dishes for the table. Will definitely come here again when I’m back in London.

My favourite restaurant in the whole of london, the loveliest staff ive ever met, especially jonti and yasser. The food is incredible and always feels like home. Couldnt recommend enough!

I went with my wife last week found the starters ok but the meet was old and bad taste I had to return the kebbeh as very bad taste of meet, and mix grill was not fresh tasted old and frozen, very expensive Lebanese restaurant.

Bad and unprofessional customer service. Also in the reviews someone mentioned that he got food poisoning.

The food was super delicious everything was fresh and so tasty, and the service was amazing. I truly recommend it to everyone who wants to try a best Lebanese food. I well try it again for sure 🤙🏽

We were so happy to find this place for dinner after a long day of sightseeing and a matinee show. In a posh neighborhood of high end restaurants, this one is reasonably priced with an extensive menu of hot and cold mezzes, Flatbread, and mains. We shared a number of mezzes including the cold spinach and the minced lamb with mushrooms. Everything was very tasty and the service was excellent. Plenty of halal customers, and that was a good sign

Delicious and healthy food, relaxing atmosphere, nice service. Love this restaurant.

Amazing food, lovely restaurant and Siham was very kind and professional, highly recommended the place.

August 2024 Excellent Lebanese in London. This is definitely worth visiting because in Madrid I don't know of any in this category. Don't miss the lamb tartare. Excellent service

The best Lebanese restaurant in london 10/10 a must try 👍🏻👍🏻😊

Lovely place , friendly staff , amazing food best Lebanese restaurant

Lovely meal in the private back dining room with family. Great for big group. Amazing lebanese food! The entire staff is so nice

It was a nice experience for 6 people, the total account was 200 pounds, and a reservation was necessary

A bad experience. The manager and staff behaved poorly, and the bathroom was very dirty, which indicates that the place is not clean

Super service and ambiance very clean and good quality of food

A very beautiful and luxurious restaurant. I recommend it for fine food and fine service

Hands down the best Lebanese food i’ve ever had. For what you get, the food is pretty inexpensive and great for sharing, the atmosphere is great and you really couldn’t ask for better service!

The food is delicious, especially the fattoush and shish tawook. The restaurant is cozy and the service is very excellent.

I went for dinner last night with my friends. We had complete Cold Mezze and chicken as our main course. We all got food poisoning for it. The food was not hygenic. We had terrible exprience. I would not suggest to someone at all.

Excellent (delicious) food, excellent service, excellent atmosphere very friendly. I've taged this restaurant as we will return. A busy restaurant and we arrived without a reservation and they accommodated us.

Great food and best Hummus in London! Definately my favourite Arabic in London.

Amazing food. Excellent service and friendly staff. Good atmosphere . Would recommend to visit this restaurant when in the area. N

Family owned restaurant, amazing service and tasty traditional food

Ishbilia is one of my favourite restaurants in London - the food is delicious, the service is fantastic and I can only recommend it! Best Lebanese food in London!!!

Very pleasant lunch with friends. Great service delicious food with many meze options.

Amazing traditional Arabic food, reminded me of home! Great service, very friendly staff, and very delicious! I had a great time!

Wonderful atmosphere filled with families and couples. Authentic Lebanese food- very fresh and classic. The service was exceptional on a very busy night.

Amazing food.... service is excellent... will be back very soon! 😁

Very very good service very good food amazing ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

My girlfriend and I came for lunch and she just wanted a salad but we were told that we needed to pay £45 per person. I get that it's a fancy restaurant but forcing her to buy £45 worth of food for lunch is ludicrous. Its a more understandable policy for dinner but not lunch. I ended up having to eat about 4 dishes for myself and they weren't particularly special. Moutabel and fatoush were nice but not stellar. The koosa bi laban was extremely disappointing and not authentic Lebanese at all.

The food was above average. The restaurant rule required a minimum of 45 pounds (of course they told us after we sat down and they gave us appetizers). We had to order things we did not want just to complete the minimum order amount. Food in general is above average

Eat from the restaurant and you are reassured. The food is delicious and the service is great. The only downside is that the place is small and the service is fast. Thank you to the restaurant management and staff

A restaurant close to Harrods.. crowded in the summer at lunch or dinner time.. advance reservations are most appropriate... the food is good in general, the grape leaves are delicious.. the hummus is delicious. the atmosphere is beautiful.. the service is very good... there are outdoor and indoor seatings in the restaurant..

The food was outstanding, it was excellent. However the waiting time was very long because our order went to the wrong table but that’s a small mistake and mistakes happen. Overall the staff were very friendly and kind. I would 100% recommend this resturant to anyone in London. It’s exceptional.

Best Lebanese in town! always consistent!

Very good and tasty food. Nice menu and a lot of selections

An expensive and overpriced restaurant, and delayed food. On top of all of that, you will get very dirty, dirty treatment. Any Gulf citizen who is jealous of his relatives should not go to the bad Lebanese restaurant, because no matter what happens, the proverb remains: O stranger, be polite, and this employee would not be under my feet.

you need to pay under the table to get a table. Won’t come back again to such corrupted places.

Ishbilia we crossed oceans with thoughts of a table full of your delightful, delectable , colorful , richly textured appetizers!

Dreaming of Ishbilia on our flight from LA to London and Ishbilia did not disappoint! Mecca of divine middle eastern cuisine with an array of fresh, well balanced appetizers. Don’t miss the eggplant dip, the hot breads, the bright green tabouleh, the okra dish, the grilled chicken wings, the delicate and fragrant stuffed vine leaves… it’s best to go with a few people so you can share an a span of dishes. White table cloth and red carpet service. We come here on each and every trip to london and crave this cuisine all the time in between our visits. Wish our city had an Ishbilia so our palates would remain alive!

My friend and I went here when she was visiting me from Toronto. We were looking for good authentic Lebanese food and let me tell you this was the place. It was honestly some of the best Lebanese food I have ever had and if I ever find myself in London I will be going back. We went very late but they were super nice and gave us so many recommendations. We got so much food for the price we payed and it was all very delicious. Would definitely go back again:)

Great service, taste and ambiance

The food is very delicious Kofta with pomegranate molasses is amazing And also hummus with pine nuts

Best Lebanese restaurant in London, authentic food tastes like Beirut fine dining, highly recommended for romantic dinner

The best Lebanese restaurant in the area My sincere thanks to the waiters, Zafer and Momen, for their good treatment and service

I had a mix up while ordering on the app, which was admittedly my own mistake. However, when we discussed this with the staff in person, they were very friendly, and helpful. I was given my food quickly, and pleasantly. The manager and all the staff I encountered couldn't have been more gracious, and the food was fresh, and delicious. I'm very grateful for such hospitality, and absolutely recommend this restaurant when you're looking for a good meal.

The cupcakes are delicious and the food is delicious

Apart from the food which is excellent, the service was really friendly with a smile

Fantastic food, fantastic service, fantastic everything. Cannot fault anything. It’s always fab to come here, staff are very friendly and food very hearty. Noor and Eszter were absolutely amazing.

I recently dined at Ishbilia Restaurant, and once again, it exceeded my expectations. The food was excellent and so delicious as always. Everything was very fresh, and the service was outstanding. A special thank you to Eszter and Noor for making our experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Always great coming to isabella It's like coming to family's home. It was lovely chatting with Noor

I enjoyed the hummus and the kebabs. The service was amazing the staff are really friendly and attentive. I had a really good experience here.

I belive first in service in london Same level of top resturant in dubai

Great service! Extraordinary hospitality and welcoming people serving. Thanks to Mr.Noor.

Exquisite food, so delicious, attentive service nothing was too much trouble .Mahmoud was like a family member, he was chatty friendly and respectful. Beautifully presented dishes of yummy food.I didn't want to leave!

The food was delicious! Authentic Lebanese food. I recommend the tabbouleh salad as well as the chicken shawarma.

Never been before - but from the moment we arrived, we were made to feel like family visiting. The service was attentive but not overwhelming. Mahmoud"s care was personal and appreciated. The food was exceptional. A definite 'must go back'. Highly recommended.

Excellent service and the food was marvellous!

As someone who has been to Lebanon, I feel that this restaurant has really found the taste of Lebanon! highly recommended
