Kaslik in City of London, Westminster

We had a quite fine dinner, the food was good but not excellent, the staff looked inexperienced but kind and gentle that s more important.

Great food, lovely service and just an overall terrific time. Loved the ground lamb. The location could not be better. Wander around afterward. Maybe grab gelato at Lick (a few steps away).

Let me be frank - this place SUCKS. Avoid it like the plague.

Sólo nos metimos en aquí ya que estaba cerca de un club que íbamos a pero sin duda volveremos de nuevo y pasar más tiempo allí. Parece tener una decoración auténtica con un montón de lámparas y extensiones de materiales a través del techo. Como una de las otras personas que también nos dijeron que el comerciante de vinos había muerto y esta era la razón por la que no podían servir vino o cerveza libanesa. Nos tuvimos que apañar con una botella de Stella. También tuvimos que pagar en efectivo. Disfrutamos de nuestra comida.

Mientras que el ambiente era relajado, la decoración del lugar bien, y el servicio casi adecuado, era la comida me temo que grave. Parecía como si alguien sin experiencia previa cocina estaba tratando de hacer comida libanesa por primera vez. hummus Beiruty no tenía chili, y uno apenas podía distinguir cualquier tahini, más como guisantes Chick con yogur. Falafel era del tipo utilizado para conseguir en el Soho en los 80 s. Tabbouleh & Fattoush muy pobre como la berenjena frita - parecía estar viejo. Se sirve con pan pitta marrón asqueroso barato, quemada por un lado donde había sido asados a suavizar. vasos que la cerveza y el vino se sirve en estaban viejas y de calidad. hago una cantidad de comida libanesa en casa, y no es difícil - audacia para servir lo que hicieron y te cobran por lo que no es aceptable.

¿Qué una experiencia horrible. 1 botella de vino para elegir lo que era una estufa de gut Pinot Grigio,). Queríamos probar un vino libanés pero nos dijeron que no tenían ninguna, desde las 20 o así botellas en el menú. La razón: el proveedor de vino estaba muerto. Tuvimos que pedir que pedir una copa, pregunte a pedir comida. Luego, cuando hacer nuestra selección dijeron: no hay hojas de vid, no permiten pelotas de carne, varias otras cosas no disponible. Tras unos 30-40 minutos de comida en general ni siquiera un oliva me preguntó por qué no podíamos tener al menos algunos de los houmus picantes que pedimos, ya que no es como que tenía que ser cocinado. Vinieron y nos dijo ah lamentamos que tuvieran que también. Bien me dijo que tendremos houmus normales. No tenemos NINGUNA HOUMOUS. Cómo en la tierra puede un restaurante libanés acabarán Houmous y en el centro de Londres? Tienen babganoush dice. Bueno que decir. 2 Minuttes más tarde: Ah perdón, nos hemos quedado sin salir de eso también. al final coger el chapuzón único en el menú, que era un yogur con pepino y Pomegranite. En esta época los platos había empezado a llegar. Cuando tuvimos casi terminado nos dijeron que todo está bien? Dije bien no todavía estamos esperando un plato y es una fría??? Ah, me permitió ver lo que dice y vuelve a decir ¡están haciendo ahora. Luego el sombrero final de hojalata en la experiencia la máquina de tarjeta está rota, así que tienes que salir de la cama triples/ lluvia fuerte y sacar dinero del banco donde tiene que haber sido 10 personas en la cola. La peor parte era ni disculpa, ni verdadera comprensión que la noche era un desastre y ningún descuento. Pero para ser sincero no me podía esperar a salir. 2 horas y aún estábamos hambrientos. Los desastres. Creo que obviamente tienen problemas financieros, y no has pagado proveedores de ahí el menú limitado. Quizás esto explica la máquina de tarjeta que probablemente estaba trabajando.

Fue una de las peores "comedor" experiencias que he tenido. Un amigo nuestro había organizado una mesa para nosotros para celebrar su nuevo trabajo y que la mayoría de la fiesta era de ascendencia Levantian pensamos que apt para libanesa. Mala elección.

Fuimos un grupo de 5, aparece en una noche para reservar una mesa para más tarde por la noche. Al regresar más tarde nos llevó a dos mesas separadas por una puerta y nos dijeron que no era nuestro descanso. Evidentemente, nos preguntamos a sentarse juntos y finalmente nos trajimos a algunos taburetes tras esperar un poco.

Mi comentario es muy similar a los más recientes. El servicio era horrible, fui con un grupo de amigos para la cena que teníamos una reserva reservado y aún así tuvimos que esperar unos 20 minutos para conseguir una mesa.

Ayer mi amigo me llevó a este restaurante tiene dijo que él estaba allí antes y me gustó. Así que teníamos una reserva para 8 pm para 6, pero ya que estábamos atrasados, llamamos y fue cambiado a las 8.30 pm, lo cual nos quedamos muy contentos.

Save yourself a lot of stress and do NOT come here. We waited more than 90 minutes for 5 out of 7 dishes of our traditional meze, with one dish arriving every 15 minutes. Not sure what was going on but seems like they had no food to sell on a Friday next get, everything was sold out, terrible small portions and apparently they were making houmous from scratch at 10 pm. Shocking management, the staff were overworked and had no clue what was going on.

Viisited for the first time with a 'birthday' party group of 13.Was shown down to the traditionally themed basement, with lavishly curtained ceilings and walls, dimly lit by several ornate lamps hanging from the ceiling and with low bunk seating with numerous cushions and padded stools and traditional low brass tables - all looking very pretty/exotic, but rather cramped and first thought, with all the material on show and in this confined downstairs space, was that there was no evidence on sight of any fire exit...second was that several of the group, including myself, had noticed the strange aroma...of joss-sticks and drains!!Within a few minutes, we were greeted by a very over enthusiastic American male, who even more enthusiastically told us what wonderful things we could expect and proceeded to take our drinks orders...strangely telling us in detailed description, about the types of wine variety he had, but thar he only had one bottle of this, and one bottle of that, and maybe three bottles of something else - I ordered a simple gin and soda, which he then bizarrely said he would get the 'kitchen prepare' (??) - it took half an hour!! He returned flamboyantly with a kilner jam jar, half filled with ice and half a lemon and clutching a bottle of mineral water, and then proceeded to dramatically tell me loudly how he would pour the water in carefully to my specific taste due to the amount of gin the jar contained (not a lot)...as though he was preparing some extravagant cocktail!! And then to the food.... We had ordered 2 veg and 5 meat meze @ £30 for two persons. It arrived erratically and inconsistently (and amusingly - with the waiter hitting his head on one of the hanging lamps - which he kept doing throughout the evening)! - the food presented in tiny bowls that we were expected to share, containing barely enough for one. We were initially given one small plate of pitta bread - two pitta breads cut into strips...for 13 people (!!) and had to ask Captain America for more. And then it got even stranger - after noticing more inconsistency in what was being served - eg., 4 tiny plates of even tinier chicken wings instead of the 5 we'd ordered, then 4 plates of spiced sausage, we brought this up with Captain America again, who just said with a smile on his face, "well,we've run out of sausage, would you like more bread??" - No apology and on pressing, said, (still with a smile on his face, but still no apology), that is was because of a big party the night before??! We were eating on a Saturday evening, usually the busiest day of the week and they were running out of food?!And so it continued....bit like Oliver Twist....'Please Sir, can we have some more' (of anything you've got!!After we'd eaten what we were provided with (not a lot!)....Captain America and two waiters arrived unexpectedly, bearing a plate with 3 tiny baklava's and a lighted candle (still no sign of a fire exit)' singing Happy Birthday. Oh yummy, baklava....deserts...and with anticipation, after the let down with the lack of ordered food...we ordered baklava...... Hmmm, yep - our American friend smiled from cheek-to-cheek and said (you've guessed it!)' "oh dear, we haven't any baklava left - we gave our last three to the Birthday Boy!!"Time to complain....and we did politely....but Mr Smiley Patonising America then said (beaming from ear-to-ear) "oh dear, are you all getting cross with me....are you all getting angry with me??!!".....er yes, especially if you don't stop smiling as if this level,of service is completely normal!! He then made a dramatic and kindly gesture to knock of the 12.5% service charge!! We then, more assertively but again politely reiterated, that although we had enjoyed the dishes we had been provided with (however sparten), that it is the norm, that if dishes are not available or are running low, this should be made clear at the time of ordering....he then reluctantly took off the cost of one meze.And finally...in keeping with the traditional theme....you are not able to flush away toilet paper, but must use the very tiny and overflowing bin provided....apparently the bin for the men's toilet its actually situated outside the toilet itself and by the wash basin, so they have to carry their used paper with them!

This is my second visit to Kaslik. The first time around we went as a large group and so when the huge bill came it was easier just to split it and assume that some people had drunk a lot of spirits.My visit to Kaslik last night was part of a group of 12 people, some of whom were just eating and some who were just drinking. Despite us asking a reasonable request for meze (I eat a lot of meze so I know when the portions are stingy) to feed half the group, we were provided with the poorest amount of food. Those that ordered things like mixed grills were brought plates that resembled 'child meals'. We complained after we realised that no more food was being brought out to us and the waiter took £70 off the bill. To be honest, we should have just walked out as it was beyond unsatisfactory. We were ALL still hungry.

Probably the worst dinner I have ever had in London. The meat was awful. Very long service for ridiculous food.The young waiter was very nice, not trained but he was trying hard.I will never go back there neither recommend this place. Utterly disappointing.

Where do I start? Perhaps we should have known when we walked through the door on Thursday 8th january and we were met eventually by an obsequious American manager and waiter who was not even trained up yet. This has been one of our favourite restaurants in Soho for some time but not any more. One starter only arrived with the main,mixed grill meat poor quality,small amount and dry, prawns were mush and inedible. When we complained we were not offered any proper apology or money back and they were not bothered that we might post a review. Dreadful and it spoiled our evening.

Bon accueil, salle petite mais service rapide. Nous avons pris plusieurs plats et goûters a beaucoup de choses et tout étaient bon, le patron vous accueille bien, le thé y est très bon

Polite staff, quick servive, great food quality, romantic atmosphere. A bit more expensive than I expected.

Dropped in after reading the menu in the window for a quick birthday meal on the way to the theatre. We choose the mixed meze for two. Everything we had was tasty, well presented and plentiful. Our charming waitress told us that we would have plenty of food for two and we certainly did. I got the impression that the restaurant was fairly new, for example, they were waiting to receive a card machine, coming the next day. I am sure that if they keep up the fantastic standard of their food and service they will do very well. I will go back when I am in London next.

We were 6 people on a Sunday evening.Everything was as it should be!Great staff!Amazing food!Definitely recommanding it!!!Next time in London....we'll be here....

Went all through London to find this little gem and was thouroughly dissapointed when we found it closed. Had been there back in July, food was tasty and authentic, service excellent and friendly, cosy and relaxed atmosphere. I hope they open it again!

Definitely have a try here if you have a tastecard - instantly more affordable. I don't think it is good value for money if you're paying full price. The services is extremely slow (so don't go if you're already starving!!) but friendly, and the restaurant looks great with colourful decor and cushion seats. To tie in with the theme, you eat off massive tray-tables around lanterns and drapes. Slightly less functional, but a bit of fun. The food was ok, small portions and meat dry. But their veg dishes were much better.

Booked to go visit, but it was closed, due to court order as they have not paid their lease! Can't comment on restaurant service, but would have been nice to be informed somehow!

Appalling service and intimidating staff. Said we couldn't get 50% discount when the taste london website says you can. Loud music. Average food. Do not waste your money here.

This is a lovely little Lebanese restaurant in the heart of Soho, the tables are large golden metal and you sit around it on Pouffes, its big on atmosphere with authentic music being played and a fab menu, wit enjoyed a very reasonable Lebanese Rose very dry and delicate flavour, we started with a mezze, very superior Hummus and Tabbouleh, and followed by a great Lamb Shawarma and a Lamb Kofte (we also ordered a Greek Salad but a bit unnecessary) finally we had cinnamon coffee served up in a traditional ladled jug...excellent service too and a very reasonable bill, we shall return.

Myself and 3 friends went to this restaurant on a Wednesday after work and had a great experience. There was a lovely atmosphere and its quite small so always seems to be a buzz. One waiter was managing everything and he was excellent despite being extremely busy he still had time to make recommendations and give us everything we needed/asked for. The food was lovely we had a mix of everything and we were not treated any differently due to the fact that we were using a Taste London card. I would highly recommend this restaurant we will definitely come back.

Durant un week end de 4 jours nous avons diner dans ce restaurant. Très petit, intimiste, une personne au service très sympa et très... Honnête. Nous étions 2 adulte et deux enfants. Nous avons commandé un mix pour 4, il nous a répondu, pour 3 sera suffisant !!! Nourriture très bonne, prix très correct. A faire a Londres.

Having read some great reviews of this little Lebanese restaurant in Greek street, I booked it for dinner with a friend and his son who were visiting London from abroad. I love Lebanese food and fancied something tasty, fresh and not too heavy.Perhaps this is where things went awry. My expectations and the reality were way out of synch. I honestly don't know where they got their recipes, but the food was dull, heavy and without the freshness that bursts with taste and flavours that I've come to expect from Middle Eastern Food. We hardly ate any of the dishes, but yet I came away feeling definitely nauseous and heavy - as if I'd eaten a huge meat-frenzied meal. (My food was entirely vegetarian)The other point about this restaurant is don't go if you want to feel comfortable. The small table we were given was a struggle to put our dishes on, and my companion complained about sitting on a low stool for such a long time. It is atmospheric, but as a restaurant, I don't think it quite works - kitsch Middle East substitutes for comfort.I'm really sorry this place didn't measure up to my expectations. I don't know whether we just happened upon an off night, or perhaps we expected too much. It is however very reasonably priced for the area. Perhaps that should have been the clue.Sorry Kaslik

Nice place in Soho with a relaxed atmosphere. Good food and service. The chap even remembered that I don't eat raw onions!Worth a pop.

Posto davvero carino in stile mediorientale con cuscini e tavoli bassi. Personale gentilissimo e cortese. I piatti (ho assaggiato Fattoush e Kafta) sono buonissimi e in porzioni abbondanti, ben serviti e ottimamente accompagnati da squisito pane arabo. Si può pasteggiare con vino libanese. Il locale ha orari "mediterranei" (si può tranquillamente ordinare alle nove si sera) ed è frequentato anche da molti londinesi.Il prezzo è ottimo in rapporto alla qualità del cibo e del locale e sorprendente in una città considerata molto cara.

Visited with a couple friends on a tuesday evening using tastecard. It is clear every effort has been made to make the restaurant look its best, and surely attracts people. People with back problems might struggle due to the seating and table arrangement! I had the mixed grill which came with a salad, pitta bread and sauces. The food was lovely in my opinion but perhaps a little small. A lebanese beer was only £2.50 seemed very reasonable. Only wish the food had taken longer to arrive so we could enjoy the surroundings for longer.

It is a small and beautifully decorated restaurant. Food was delicious. They accept taste cards and hence worth the money. Will definitely visit again....

First impression: restaurant was nicely decorated - although sitting on certain seats mean you will rub shoulder with bypassers' bum.I ordered falafel and chicken shawarma but I've definitely had better. 1) Both dishes could've been seasoned better and 2) both dishes were cool by the time they arrived at our table. Service was good but I don't eat out for the service. So needless to say, I won't be rushing back to Kaslik any time soon. The dinner was extremely cheap with 50% off on Taste Card (£12.50 for a starter and a main, with a chai latte and gratuity) but I'd rather pay more for an enjoyable meal elsewhere.

We walked past here on a Wednesday evening and the decor and menu caught our eye. After a glass of wine at The Dog and Duck around the corner, my friend and I decided to go in and try it out for dinner. When we got back I was disheartened to see the place was full, this was a Wednesday after all and so I didn't expect this. However the waiter checked the bookings and was able to find us a table, my friend had a small suitcase with her and the waiter took this off her and kept it safe so that it wasn't in our way. The decor that had caught our eye from the outside was even lovelier once we were sat down, with an (unsurprisingly for a Lebanese restaurant) authentic middle eastern feel. The restaurant was quite small but wasn't cramped and had a lovely atmosphere. The menu had a good range of choices including about 18 different cold and hot mezze dishes from approx £4 upwards. For people wanting something more substantial there were a range of dishes from the grill, and my friend and I both had food envy at the girl next to us eating her amazing looking king prawn skewers. We were pleased to see a few cocktails on the menu as well as a range of wines and beers. My friend and I both opted for a gin mohito and were both surprised that when these arrived the glasses were not crammed with crushed ice instead of alcohol as they so often are, indeed they were a decent size for the price we paid (£6 odd) and most importantly they were bloody nice, I could have easily had another if it wasn't a school night.My friend and I opted for a range of hot and cold mezze. We had the jalepeno hummus which was pleasant enough if a little ordinary, however, that the hummus was a little ordinary is honestly, the worst thing I can say about this place. The rest of the food that we ate was absolutely lovely! I had the most delicious falafels that I have ever had, they were so light and tasty, we also both thoroughly enjoyed the baby aubergines stuffed with walnuts and the vine leaves were just so moreish. We also had fried aubergines with a balsamic and yogurt dressing, arabic rice, grilled haloumi and pitta breads all of which were very nice and went down well. For both my friend and I the star of the show were the walnut stuffed baby aubergines and I will definitely be going back for more soon!! After our mains we shared a portion of baklava of which we have both had a few in different places and agreed that these were up there with the best we'd experienced. For two cocktails, six mezzes plus a side dish of rice and two glasses of white wine our bill, including service charge came to £68 which we felt for such a lovely meal and such good service was very reasonable. Another thing that I liked about this restaurant was that I left feeling a lot less guilty than I would have if I had gone for a pizza or a curry, yes there was a bit of alcohol, a drop of olive oil , a smidge of cheese...oh and the baklava, but on the whole the food was wholesome and felt good. We're not vegetarians but almost accidentally we chose a vegetarian meal and when we left we both remarked that we felt satisfied but not as stuffed or as sluggish (or guilty for that matter) as we would have done perhaps if we'd gone for an Italian or Chinese meal and so I would recommend it for a guilt free weekday meal out.All in all it was a lovely restaurant, with a gorgeous interior and equally lovely food and service. The combination of healthy mezzes and perhaps the more filling (and also lovely looking) larger meat dished makes this a restaurant that you could frequent both midweek or at weekends. They also do take out lunch boxes and if I worked anywhere nearby I think I would go for one of these on a regular basis. I think it's safe to say I will be returning.

We stumbled across Kaslik on a Saturday evening when trying to find a restaurant in Soho. The restaurant looked tiny but lovely, and the menu looked really appealing so we took a chance here. We turned up at 8pm without reservation and were seated immediately at a large, circular gold plate as our table with little stools and cushions to sit on. The decor was something different, with a real Moroccan feel to it (hanging lamps and drapes etc). The waiter was quick and efficient and our food was brought out in a respectable time. We opted for hummus with pitta, a side salad, arabic rice with coconut, a chicken shawarma and a lamb dish - all of which were delicious. The cocktails (especially the wildberry with vodka and ginger) were really yummy and not extortionately priced for central London. This was a great little find in Soho, glad we came across it and would definitely go back.

Service was poor, we were asked to keep our starter plates and culturally for our main course and the waiting staff were generally very offish every-time we tried to order. The vegetarian tagine was dry and the starters over-priced. The waiting staff were slow.

Questo ristorantino, piccolino, vicino a soho square, vale veramente la pena. Si mangia veramente bene e il personale è molto gentile. Prezzi abbordabilissimi, anzi ottimo in confronto alla qualità. Ci sono anche molti "local" a conferma della bontà del cibo :-)

I ate at Kaslik last night as part of a group of four and found the food to be of great quality with very friendly staff. We were seated by the door upstairs, which I think is one of the best tables in the restaurant as it's one of the largest, which is a must if you order as much food as we did. We did have to wait a little while for our food, however we had ordered a large number of mezze plates and the others in my group also ordered kebabs. Also, it seemed that everyone dining at the restaurant had arrived at once and therefore the kitchen was obviously very busy. The food was certainly worth the wait once it did arrive and we found it to be of good value. There is plenty of food to satisfy everyone, with a great choice for vegetarians. My particular favourites were the fattoush, the batata harra and the moutabal, which was the best that I'd ever tried. I would certainly eat at Kaslik in future.

Food was lovely, flavoursomeAmbience, decor great. We sat downstairs as it was a large group. Upstairs is a bit crampedToilets STANK OF VOMIT!! Problem: Group booking was madeFood ordered! We asked for all our food to be put on a platter so everyone can help themselves rather than have loads of plates! They gave us 3persons serving rather than 8/9? One small bowl of chips one small bowl of rice and 6 different types of kebab! The starter was good as well however, Same problem, 3 servings! If we had asked for individual plates we would have had more! It was not worth the money we paid!

We only found this little gem because it was recommended on the Phoenix Theatre website, but I'm really glad we chose to eat there. We were out for my companion's birthday celebrations and followed up our matinee at the theatre with a lovely meal at the Kaslik. It's easy walking distance from the theatre.The restaurant is small, but we had plenty of room at our table. The decor makes it feel as though you are seated inside a tent, with fabric draping the ceiling. The cushined seating was a little low, but comfortable. The food was lovely, it was our first time trying Lebanese food so we ordered the mezze which gives the opportunity to try lots of different dishes. Service was good, the red wine was nice & I'd happily eat there again.

Det är en liten restaurang där man sitter på pallar och borden är stora brickor i mässing. Personalen är väldigt trevlig och hjälpsam. Eftersom den är liten så sitter man väldigt nära de andra sällskapen men det ger bara en intim känsla på ett positivt sätt. Maten var mycket god och kändes vällagad där smakerna satt som de ska. Servitören rekommenderade oss ett bra libanesiskt rödvin som passade utmärkt till den mat vi hade valt. Har man inte bokat bord här innan så behöver man inte gå dit, jag såg många som fick vända i dörren under tiden vi åt där. Här kommer jag äta igen när jag är i London nästa gång!

The food was decent but not great, the restaurant is a little cramped.The cocktails were not good at all.

Me and my also vegetarian friend were really happy with our food and service. So fresh and tasty, and it's really easy to have really healthy food here (plenty of norti options are available though if you prefer). Very reasonably priced too, and the Lebanese house red and rose wines are very nice. I'll definitely go back and try some of the lovely teas and desserts we didn't have time for.

I love this restaurant. One of my favorite places to eat in London. Friendly people, amazing food, good prices. On my recent business trip to London, it was so great hanging out at this little oasis one afternoon. I ate Halloumi, hummus, Baba Ganoush, drank moroccan tea, and checked my emails, before venturing back into the craziness of Soho. Looking forward to my next visit.

We had planned to go to a regular favourite, the 'Gay Hussar' opposite, but the kitchen was closed so found ourselves in the Kaslik. It is excellent, extremely friendy staff and great food. £76 for a shared platter as a starter, two mains and two bottles of wine and complimentary Baclava for desert. It has a quirky feel with the meal served on traditional tables, low level lighting and comfy sofas. The king prawns are a must. Great central london food stop at affordable prices!

I've been to Kaslik a couple times now and Im sorry to say the standard is declining RAPIDLY.Our party of 12 got charged £28 each for a group meze meal which was meant to be 3 course including fresh mint tea throughout the meal: starters was a platter with the cheap meze items (eg. falafel, pickles and houmous) with a coupple nice items although these were massively stingy (eg. had to share halloumi slices between us as there werent even enough to have 1 each), main: 1 stick of shwarma and 3 tiny pieces of chicken each, desert: 1 single piece of mini baklava each (!), AND to top it off the mint tea (1 shot glass each) was clearly from a cheap tea bag without a fresh mint leaf in sight. Such a shame from a restaurant that used to really excel in quality. Will not be returning.

I had my birthday dinner at Kaslik, and all the food was simply amazing! I'll definitely be going back!

ReviewI had organised a Christmas function to take place for 26 personnel. The staff were very flexible and helpful on assisting me on the organisation of the event. When we arrived we were served promptly with mulled wine and a good size portion of hot and cold mezze for a starter. There was a selection of main meals to choose from; meat, vegetarian and fish. I had chosen the fish and it was cooked perfectly. Soft, succulent and flavoured salmon. The dessert was nice and sweet. The restaurant was clean and played authentic Lebanese music. The staff are friendly and professional. I would definitely eat here again.Thank you for hosting our Christmas party.Kind regards, LoPR Company

Went for quick dinner with boyfriend , very taste good and friendly staff, loved a design ,definitely will be back again,

A friend and I always drop in here for early evening meal before going to the Borderline. Always an excellent meal with friendly staff, happy to please, a small but interesting venue. Must admit never been downstairs, to the toilet or eaten there with a large party but we are always made to feel welcome and enjoyed our meal.

Dined there on 19th December. Laid-back waiter with pony-tail took our order but didn't write it down. Meze and drinks arrived promptly but there followed a delay of 1 hour 40 minutes during which time various waiting staff (including the waiter who took our order) smiled at us as they walked past the table. The restaurant was extremely busy so we made allowances for the wait, but what we did not expect was to be told after the hour and forty minutes that the waiter had failed to record our main course orders onto the system!! This is what happens if incompetent waiters do not write down orders but try to memorise them. The waiter who told us there was no record of our order was not "our" waiter (who kept out of out way). The final insult was when we requested the bill and were asked whether or not we wanted the service charge taken off the bill - it having been added to it. Restaurants so badly managed as this don't deserve to survive.

It's rare for me to write a review a restaurant without having eaten there, but since I had to walk out of Kaslik before even being served, I thought I'd make an exception. We had a booking for a group of friends and, having already read the mixed reviews online, wasn't expecting too much. Unfortunately, even my already lowered expections were reduced upon entering their downstairs function area. It stank like a toilet, and had a layout totally innapropriate for dining. It was more like a shisha lounge, with arabic style cushions and rugs, with a lot of the seats not having proper access to the tables. Upon arrival a waiter handed us menus, but then took umbrage at the fact we wanted to order from that menu and not one of the set menus he kept telling us about. We said we wanted to order from the menus given, and then decided the awful smell and bad attitude was all we could handle. We walked out whilst the waiter went upstairs to speak with the manager. It's a shame, as I was looking forward to dinner with friends. I certainly can't recommend Kaslik to anyone, and am surprised it's still in business.

Are you in soho and want to run away from London for a while to Morocco? Come here, at least this feeling I had after entering this place and took a place around a table which was made by big golden plate. Luckily we didn't read reviews before, because that would put me off and we can't really complain about our experience. We loved the Arabic decor with sheets and lamps on the ceiling and nice relaxing music in background. Even if the place is small there were two waiters who run around all the time and were there anytime we needed them. Nothing seemed to be a problem for them. We had humus with meat and pita for the starter and really big king prawns and mix grill for the mains. If I can recommend, do not order salad as there was lovely vegetables decoration on plates which supplement salad very well. Everything was very tasteful and accompanied by house wine which was surprisingly good as well. In the end they have us baklava on the house and we were leaving this place with very good feeling.

Booked a table for 12 at 8pmArrived to be told the table was not yet free and the previous guess had just had more drinks served- come back later!12 people at 8pm on a Saturday is not easy to fit in anywhere else- so we came back, again and again. By 21.30 they still didn't have a table and didn't give a damn they had ruined our nightwho knows what the food is like- they just don't care, so I am only guessing how much effort they go to in the kitchen!

I booked the table and I arrived, by the way, 15 minuti before. Moreover we let them know we were waiting, and after the 15 mins, exactly at the booked time, they asked us to wait for five mins, then for ten minutes, after we complained they asked, ungently by the way, of waiting for some more time, we left after some minutes. I'll never come back here

Sono stato a cena con amici in questo locale e ne sono rimasto molto soddisfatto. Ottimo cibo libanese accompagnato da un buon vino. Bella atmosfera medio orientale. Di sicuro ritornerei volentieri. Da provare.

Went here with work. Arrived about 20 minutes later due to work commitments. The waiter was not interested in serving. Literally had to ask for menu, glass. The waiter didn't even ask if I wanted something to have anything to drink. Had to repeat my order twice before the waiter even acknowledged my order. 40 minutes after placing the order of Aubergine Moussaka I went to ask if they had maybe forgotten my order. The same waiter waived at me and sighed that, the food was coming. It did, 5 minutes later, 45 minutes after placing the order. The waiter didn't even bother to give cutleries. He just pointed to another table that was unseated asking me to get it myself!!! The Moussaka was meant to come with chickpeas, but there was only Aubergine with tomatosauce served with an additional portion of rice. The other shared platters were average standard but nothing spectacular. Until we actually asked for the bill, there was no sign of any waiter anywhere asking if we wanted other drinks, food, desserts or even if the food was good. Adding all this does not make up the nice decor and cosy environment. I will never set my foot here again and certainly never recommend it to anyone else. London is full of good lebanese restaurants offering better food and certainly better service.

This restaurant in Soho was a surprise. Since we had not booked a table, the manager asked us to wait 5 minutes. He checked and shortly after he gave us a table booked by someone else who had not shown up yet. The location is very nice and traditional. Not too much room for jackets, but food was very good. Lamb was delicious. Recommended to a group of friends (max 5 people).

We booked to go here after the theatre, we fancied Middle East food and we were not dissapointed, even though it is just round the corner from China Town it was a great place good atmosphere typical middle eastern layout with copper tables and cushions to sit on. The meze is very good as well as the grills. Lebanese wine was excellent. Will definitely visit again.

I took my boyfriend for his birthday as he liked the look of this place. The atmosphere and décor is lovely.The Mezze was so tasty and very filling. Reasonably priced too. We had a tastecard so this was even more reasonable. The quirky atmosphere adds to the experience. Service was quick and the waiter was friendly. I would recommend this to anyone who has not yet tried Lebanese food.

I had visited this restaurant about two years ago. I have to admit that this time I was very impressed. The food was excellent. I remember my ladt visit was just good. But Wow !!! This time I was very very happy not only for the food but the service was also excellent. I was born in Beirut and lived there for many years. So you must appreciate that I know what Lebanees food sjould taste like. And this is why I am giving it a good review. I will be visiting this restaurant again for sure.

Siamo entrati in questo locale libanese a Soho senza avere prenotato, attratti dall'ambiente che si vedeva dalla vetrina. Tavoli bassi, poltrone e cuscini nel tipico stile medio orientale. Al piano di sopra non c'era posto così ci hanno fatto accomodare al piano inferiore. La stanza è praticamente una tenda e questo ti fa entrare ancora di più nel mood. Il cibo nella media, forse perché ho avuto altre esperienze positive questa volta non sono rimasta molto soddisfatta. Non posso dire che si mangi male ma nella media. Lo sconsiglio a chi ha problemi di schiena o ha fastidio a mangiare seduto su divani e puff; lo consiglio per l'atmosfera. Io preferisco la prima stanza anche se il piano inferiore è più intimo.

The food is OK (starters/mezze much better than mains), and the atmosphere is very cozy and quite.. but poor portions and quite expensive.The service is good!

Ci siamo imbattuti per caso in questo piccolo ristorantino e devo dire che ne siamo usciti molto soddisfatti e felici.Abbiamo preso il menu degustazione e abbiamo mangiato tutto con gusto e a sazietà'.Carino anche l'ambiente e il personale davvero cordiale e disponibile.Da consigliare.

We go here every time we go to London. Great food, lovely people and super wine at reasonable prices for London. Book or turn up early as it's open from lunchtime. Recommend definately

This is a fantastic little place right in the middle of Soho (a stone's throw away from Soho Square) that looks quite pokey from the outside, but don't let that put you off. The atmosphere is fantastic and it's a very sociable and cosy restaurant. The starters were excellent (I can highly recommend the falafel and hummus with pitta bread) and they are incredibly filling. The mixed grill, with chicken and prawns was a particular favourite of mine and the Arabic fries (with garlic and thyme) went down a treat. The service was prompt, the waiters friendly and helpful and the food was outstanding. It's a little pricey, especially for Central London — an individual starter and main course with a side of fries came to around £17 but for the whole atmosphere and quality of food, I cannot recommend it enough.

I was searching in Soho for a little bit more exotic place with good food. A bit anonymous from the front, but fantastic when you are inside!

Went at 6 on a Wednesday eve and place surprisingly started to get really busy early on.We haven't eaten there for ages and I remember the service used to be a bit hit and miss (the food had always been good!). I cannot fault the service at all - we were attended to straight away, given a choice of tables and looked after all night. We had a mezze for 2 (£28), grilled halloumi, a mixed grill to share, one beer, 2 waters and a diet coke and the bill came to £62. (Including 12.5% service charge) The food as ever was delicious - my only minor negative was that the mixed grill was a bit paltry for £12. It was still delicious though. The mezze is gorgeous and all dishes were explained to us. The baba ganoush is still the nicest I've ever tasted. Definitely worth a visit

Ottimo ristornate libanese a Soho. Accoglienza e ambiente gradevole. Ottimo cibo .Ideale per cena romantica o in gruppo.Da provare!!

Grazie all'offerta del 50% off della Tastecard, ci siamo imbattuti in questo piccolo ristorante nel centro di Soho, anche per gustare e provare una cucina non proprio comunemente occidentale. Locale accogliente, piccolo ma elegante ed arredato a tema. Proprietario gentilissimo e disponibile, che a fine serata ci ha offerto anche dei dolcetti tipici libanesi.Cibo ottimo, cucinato con cura e di buona qualità. Abbiamo condiviso 4 Main Courses differenti e 2 starters. Consiglio il Mixed Grill e i Falafel "home-made". Prezzi nella media, considerando che siete in pieno centro, è più che accettabile.La cucina libanese si conferma delicata ma sostanziosa e il Kaslik ne è degno rappresentante.

My wife and I were looking for something to eat before going to the theatre in Soho and found Kaslik and we were delighted. Luckily we managed to reserve a table as by the time we arrived for our meal they were fully booked and turning people away.On arrival there was only one wait for a while who was polite, helpful, friendly and trying his best and it was a relief when a second waiter arrived to help with the workload.We chose the Mezze for two and had Jalapeno Hoummus,Moutabal, Vine leaves, Falafel, Jawaneh, Sujuk, accompanied by Pitta bread and Almaza Beer and it was ALL delicious and reasonably priced.We would definitely recommend Kaslik to friends and would absolutely go back again.

We decided to change our restaurant on the last minute due to an appointment to meet a friend in Soho. On that night we're feeling like middle eastern food and for our surprise this place was spot on!I called 30 min before going to make a reservation and the staff was super friendly. Also when we arrived there the atmosphere was happy, loud and decoration matching everything you would find in a restaurant in the Middle East!We ordered a selection of cold and hot mezze, which included, stuffed vines leaves, hommus, tabbouleh, baba ghanouj, falafel, vegetarian kibbeh, lebanese spicy lamb sausages, pitta bread and marinated chicken wings grilled, served with garlic puree!After we ordered it took 10min and the food was in our table! We're so surprised and wondering if all that quick serve would bring also any bad surprise with the food, but fortunately it didn't! Everything was really tasty and fresh! We saw all this food coming onto our small table, they nearly had to put something alway but we put the pitta straight in our plates and gave them a tiny space left to fit the last dish!Awesome quick meal! Only two of us and couldn't finish it all, huuuge portion that could perfectly feed three. The staff were great, always smiling and around! We had a bottle of lebanese white wine for the first time ever and it was actually quite nice!Can't wait to visit them again!

I went last night for a catching up dinner with friends, and we enjoyed it very much! It is a small restaurant but very cosy and charming. Food was excellent, the lamb and the hummus are to die for! I highly recommend it and I'll be back soon for sure.

We loved the feel and décor of this restaurant. The waiter was on his own and the place was full - all was good. We had a selection of 8 small dishes between 4 of us which was perfect. It was pretty much all delicious. Would go back if I was in the area again.

The food here is very good and nothing I ordered disappointed, the iced teas and cocktails were also excellent. There was a nice atmosphere and good service. Well worth a visit.

Perfect food: hot/cold mezes, mixed kebabs, schwarmas, Arabic fries all beautifully presented with attentive service, a couple of bottles of Rioja and complimentary platter of fruit, nuts and pastries for dessert. Couldn't fault it.

We made reservations at this quaint little Lebanese spot before our show so we were there early. The restaurant is quite small and is decorated with lots of fabric, small tables and poofs. We were the first there,which didn't seem like a good sign but soon a few other diners showed up. The location is perfect for a a Soho show. The service was very good and the mezzes were quite yummy and the Lebanese beer was cold. It's located on a great street to "people watch."

E' un ristorante libanese che si trova nei pressi di Sono Square e che dispone di 6-7 tavoli con il ripiano di metallo fatto a vassoio grande, tipici mediorientali; fatto importante per noi occidentali (o almeno per me) i tavoli sono alti a sufficienza da poter mangiare seduti su seggiole o divanetti. L'atmosfera è risultata piacevolissima ed estremamente cordiale ed il menù è stato abbastanza vario e di tipici piatti libanesi. Abbiamo preso anche del vino libanese bianco che è risultato molto gradevole. Il prezzo nella media.

Went to this place on a midweek evening before the theatre. A Bad start as the number we had off the Tastecard website wasn't being answered, once we found the place the gentleman advised us the number was working and it was our fault, however another couple had the same problem, he eventually realised. A nice atmosphere and very few covers in the restaurant, very cosy.The food was not too bad, the price reasonable with a Tastecard as it made it half price. We were not overly impressed and would not go out of our way to return but certainly not a place to completely avoid.

We visited Kaslik last Saturday and were so pleased we did. The seating is low and cosy, the atmosphere is relaxed and the staff make everyone feel very welcome. We ordered a variety of dishes and they were very tasty, especially the chilli salsa. If you want an affordable dinner (£60 for two including beer and wine) in the heart of theatre land make this a date!

We went here for a pre-theatre meal and were in a bit of a hurry. The waiters were very helpful in making sure we could finish in time. The BABA GHANOUJ (aubergine dip) was excellent. The HOUMMOS was the smooth variety (I have a personal preference for the slightly rougher version). The most important thing to note is that the LAMB SHAWARMA had a lot of cinnamon in it - so long as you like this you will find it delicious (as my husband did) but I didn't like it at all. The KASTALETA GHANAM were tasty. The KALAJ )(Grilled Halloumi) was nice as ever!The waiters don't know much about wine (they probably don't drink themselves) but were extremely helpful in letting us taste before we chose.

I have read some reviews complaining about the service. We never had any issues. The food was great and well priced. Do try the pomegranate martini dangerously nice. All said worth a visit

nice small venue. You sit on small stools so not ideal for large people. All the food was very tasty and arrived in good time. Service was very polite if not a little surly. I wouldn't go without a taste london card as I thought it was a bit expensive even with the discount for what it is.

Delicious food, friendly service and excellent value. I was worried that sitting at a low table would be uncomfortable, but it was perfectly OK and added to the authenticity. The menu was not dissimilar to Greek or Turkish, but different enough to make a change. Given the location in Soho, near to shopping, theatres, etc, Kaslik offers excellent value.

Had the sharing Mezze platter and there was loads of food-loved the vine leaves, sausage and falafel. The Lebanese wine was surprisingly nice and it was a really cosy restaurant. The Waiter was helpful and service good. A non-optional service charge of 12% was added to the bill which was unexpected but we did get free pitta breads and probably would have given 10% anyway. Would return on our next trip to London.

Found this restaurant through our taste card restaurant finder app. Thought we would give it a try. Staff very friendly, lovely atmosphere, food was fantastic. We used our taste card which gave us added value. Would recommend.

Siamo capitati per caso davanti a questo ristorante e sbirciando dentro siamo stati subito attratti dall'ambiente caldo ed accogliente. Senza prenotazione siamo entrati e fortunatamente abbiamo trovato un tavolo per 4. Non conoscendo molto questo tipo di cucina abbiamo seguito l'intuito prendendo degli assaggi di antipasti, del riso e 4 piatti di grigliata mista accompagnati dal loro pane (pita). The verde alla menta accompagnato da 4 dolcetti. birra e acqua abbiamo speso 95 sterline in 4. Eravamo più che sazi e il cibo era ottimo. E' un cibo naturalmente abbastanza speziato per chi piace questi sapori. Il locale è pulito e tranquillo. Ottimo per una serata in 2 ma anche per una cena tra amici.

My friends and I stumbled across this little Middle Eastern gem one Monday evening. It is quite a small restaurant with gorgeous decor-it really is like stepping into Morocco with lots of deep red’s, green’s, gold and lots of decorative cushions. We shared a selection of starters including hummus with lamb, tabbouleh, falafel and a grilled halloumi which were all absolutely delicious. We then all had our own individual main courses and we all chose lamb kafta which was a decent size portion and really delicious. It was a really unique meal and one that I haven’t had in London for a long time. We will definitely be returning especially as it was so reasonable! Could not recommend more.

We stubbled across this eastern delight whilst walking through soho and despite not having a reservation on a busy sunday evening they were able to accommodate us. Not your usual london resturant, you sit on tapestry stools with your backs to the walls and your table. The waiter is very attentive and keeps everyone happy, the foods is lovely tasty simple fayre with a gorgeous meze of starters to share to taste the true experience. Avoid the tourist traps and go for the small friendly tasty eastern experience instead. Meal with two courses and two drinks each was a respectable £45.

We went with a group of 6 and shared the mezes and main meals to try the different dishes. The food was good and the portions were a good size. We shared 9 starters and this was plenty. We also had 6 mains and shared these but we could have made it 2 mains and 2 more mezes and this would have been more than enough. Try the hummus, really good and a selection of the other dishes on the menu. All served with pitta bread so a filling meal. The tables are a bit low, in the Turkish style, and being by the door was freezing as people entered and left the restaurant. Prices per person for 2 mezes and a main about £20 without drinks.

The food here is amazing, and it’s even better if you're able to visit with an offer like tastecard or when they are doing a set lunch menu.I read a couple of reviews that said the service wasn't very good and that the staff could be rude, but I have to say I’d never seen that. I've visited the restaurant a few times, and each time the waiter has been really polite and attentive, whilst not always hovering round the table making you feel uncomfortable.The restaurant itself is really amazing as well. The interior design makes you feel that you’re on holiday somewhere exotic, not sat in central London just a stone's throw away from Oxford Street.I would definitely recommend visiting this place if you love good food and a relaxed atmosphere.

I went here with a group of friends for dinner on a Saturday night, as it being a Saturday and the restaurant was busy we were under no illusions that it may take awhile for our food. We ordered and had a couple of drinks and were patient but we did enquire where our food was after an hour. Our starters eventually arrived after an hour and a half from arrival, the starters were great but didn't really have time to enjoy it as the main came 5 minutes afterwards and with no space for the plates we had to shovel the food in as quick as possible. The mains were really good but no one could even attempt to finish it due to being forced to eat the starters so quickly. It was a big shame as the food was great but with service like that i wouldn't bother going there again.

Turned up 30 mins before our booking, no problem. Ordered in 5 mins, food arrived in 15. And what food! Spicey cauliflower delicious, great meze and beautiful lamb. Huge quantites. Bill for two, £40 including service. Oh, and a large bottle of mineral water is £2, in Soho. It's brilliant, eat here.

Un petit resto chaleureux comme on en trouve pas Bcp a londres.Nourriture de qualité et plat copieux.Personnel attentionné et chaleureux.Prix raisonnable.Enjoy kaslik!!!

My daughter booked this on Tastecard as a convenient place to meet for a light lunch. We ordered a selection of dishes which were all extremely tasty and nicely presented. The drinks were well priced. When we had finished we were presented with a lovely complimentary dish of Baklava which we had not ordered (and was delicious) - a very pleasant surprise - the waiter had noticed my daughter wish me a Happy birthday and give me a card. It represented excellent value for money. Will return.

I stumbled across this restaurant on Saturday night after a trip to the theater and absolutely loved it. The food was heavenly and the ambiance was incredible. The placed was very busy and we were lucky to get a table. Would definitely go back.

Good little Lebanese restaurant on Greek Street. A nice middle eastern ambience, our table was a bit small for a group of six but the service was efficient and the food and wine were excellent. Great value for money and I will certainly go back. One letdown was that the toilets could do with a bit of an upgrade.!

Trovo il ristorante per caso, mi attrae l'ingresso totalmente rosso lucido. Il locale è piccolo, ma molto accogliente e carino con cucina separata, quindi non si impuzzoliscono i vestiti (importante per le donne!!!) . Abbiamo preso Hummus, falafel, formaggio, vitello e gamberi. Devo dire tutto molto buono, in particolare l'hummus...avevo le lacrime da quanto era buono. Con il vassoio di dolcetti abbiamo pagato sui 60 euro, quindi non partcolarmente costoso per Londra.I camerieri non sono tutti spiccatamente gentili, meglio sapere già cosa mangiare.

I used to always go and eat at this lovely restaurant but recently I encountered an unhygienic situation where I was waiting to use the toilet and I saw someone that looked like the chef with glasses leaving there without washing his hands. I stopped going there since that time. Its a shame that these things happen there.....

We enjoyed our office Christmas meal at Kaslik last night - the food was tasty although it would have been nice to be able to choose a main in the Christmas menu as the vegetarian main offered was a bit unexciting. The wine was a good quality for the price. The service was a bit slow but very friendly, however when we questioned whether the service charge went to the staff we were told it was kept by the restaurant, which was a bit upsetting. For this reason alone I probably would not eat here again.

The decor and music of this place are lovely, so why are the owners letting it down with grumpy service? Well, the waiters certainly did not have to work for their tip, since 12.5% was automatically added to the bill. Humph. The actual food was nice, but having been to many Lebanese places before, it was not amazing, and the portion size of one of the veggie mains was more like a mezze, which was disappointing. Good falafels though.
