Le comptoire in Kensington and Chelsea

Very healthy, appetising and fresh food in a busy but enjoyable environment. Good for a jaded palate, especially for lunch. Sadly my companion’s bag was stolen from her chair while we were there. So hold onto your belongings. We were well looked after by the management who did not charge us for our meal and were able to see the thief on CCTV.

I had booked this restaurant for Valentine’s Day, like most places , we knew it would be busy and perhaps service a little slower due to a popular evening to dine out. We were sat on a table for 30 minutes without a menu / being able to order a drink. There was one poor waitress working the whole of the downstairs. There was 30 minutes inbetween each course , the drinks, starter and main took so long that we couldn’t be bothered to wait for the final course. Many people were unhappy with the service and food at the Ealing branch that evening.

Ottimo cibo. Qualità varia e porzioni giuste . Materie prime buone e personale gentilissimo. Servizio veloce e prezzi con ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo . Zuppa di lenticchie TOP! Bella anche la location a due passi dal National History Museum

on a trip to london, food was amazing, quiet atmosphere which was strange after tasting the food. lovely staff and lovely facilities me and my girlfriend were more than happy!

Delizioso locale arredato con gusto e con originalità. Delizioso accostamento di sapori e di colori. Da provare! Da farsi trasportare!

We went just after Xmas, so as expected it was very, very busy...... staff were rushing about, goodness knows how they coped as every table was full. Service was however efficient under the circumstances. We shared a mix grill and a Mezze platter, both of which were very good and would happily recommend both dishes. Only downside is that the tables are "very" close together, feels cramped. Otherwise the ambiance is very good and we would happily return.

Wow food was amazing. It’s perfect for lunch or to pitstop and refuel between visiting any of the local museums. We got the lamb and chicken Kofta and they were delicious. Would highly recommend for great tasting great value and super fast service. Will go again on our next trip. We noticed the queues build very quickly outside after we were seated but I’d say it’s worth the wait.

Amazing food- so good, we went back the next day and had the same thing! Fully recommend if you’re in the area

Always a fave and the South Ken one is a fave! Lovely location and atmosphere, feels more authentic inside than some others. Also a great location if sight seeing and visiting museums. Service is always friendly and bright, nice buzz inside and of course lovely food. Will return

We arrived here for lunch - it was very busy and raining and we were given a table outside under a canapé which had holes in it so the water dripped onto us. We were a party of 2 adults and 2 children and the kids were very cold as the heater didn’t work and there was no attempt to keep any of the heaters on, despite seats being offered outside. The staff were very busy and it took at least 3 or 4 attempts to get some water. the food was good when it arrived but we ate it quickly as we were cold. I’d advise that you go either when it isn’t so busy or in the summer!

My son and I had an amazing meal here last Sunday, it was very busy but we were squeezed into a small table for 2 and completely surrounded by others but this probably added to the atmosphere as I’m nosey. I’m always dubious about eating in a chain but have to say the food was outstanding, very well presented and flavours were fantastic, reasonably priced and the service was brilliant.

We were late finding a place and this one had a some openings. So glad we stumbled upon it. Great food. Nice staff. Would definitely go back.

Fantastisch gegeten. Het personeel was buitengewoon vriendelijk en meedenkend. Een gerecht dat we niet lekker vinden (en wat dus onaangeroerd...

I love the ambience of this place -- it makes me feel like I'm back in the Middle East. And top tip for Sheila!

Best Mediterranean meal I’ve had outside of Turkey. Fab, fresh, authentic, will eat here again if I’m nearby.

We were there with out three young kids on holiday and staying nearby. The kids always love some hummus and falafel, so this was an easy choice to try. It is also a lovely, well-decorated space. Staff was welcoming and kind to the kids. Food...

Très bon rapport qualité-prix. Excellents wraps, tout était parfaitement assaisonné. Service souriant et plutôt rapide malgré le nombre de clients.

Excellent middle eastern cuisine. We had mixed grills, seasoned small potatoes (Batata Harra) and Hommos. More than sufficient for four adults. Service was very good and responsive. Very cafe ambiance. 76UK pound.

The food was magnificently fresh! We had the mezze for two, plenty From pita bread to hummus excellent. We had passion martini worth it!! We had a great experience!!

J’étais resté sur un avis mitigé après un passage en 2019 au " Comptoir Libanais". Le service avait été long,...

Excellent food. Excellent service. Ashish was friendly, helpful and charming. Thank you x Apparently I have to add more characters! Done!

Stumbled across the restaurant on a sunny day - it was very busy but looked very pleasant. Waited around ten minutes for a table. Staff generally not attentive, had to approach regarding seating and again to remind waiting when tables were sat empty awaiting clearing...

Excellent food in a casual atmosphere. The lentil soup was delicious. Very authentic. We would definitely return when we come back to London

Good selection of cold an hote mezze. Our favourites were the lentil soup, classic hommos, and cheese samboussek. Lamb tangine was done in a spicy style and was delicious. Cocktail selection, including non-alcoholic cocktails, was impressive.

Très bon restaurant libanais où vous trouverez le traditionnel mezze ainsi que des wraps et salades. Le service a été...

Incredibly slow service, the waitress was not very attentive. Had to wait about 25 minutes for a very simple dish which was tasty. And then had to wait 10 minutes for the waitress to come back with the dessert menu (after clearing the plate). One...

We visited restaurant for lunch. Staff was friendly and served our food fast, even was very busy. My lamb kofta was tasty and juicy. I strongly recommend this dish.

Having lived in the Dubai for several years I love this sharing food. We got a table having being ignored at the Spanish place next door. We ordered I had taboulleh very good more lemon please or a supply to squezzo . Humus was good...

Super endroit pour manger d'excellents mets libanais. Ambiance décontracté et nourriture de grandes qualités faits d'ingrédients frais. Très bon service...

Very expensive food. Slow service. We were waiting 15mins for someone to talk to us to start ordering. There only appears to be one toilet for a busy restaurant. Food OK, but not spectacular. Was a late lunch between visiting the musuems and Kensington Palace.

Very good food. Generous portions and a great selection of both food and drink. Be prepared to wait for a table during busy tourist season.

I enjoyed having dinner here so much I decided to return the following day. Had the mixed grill and loved it. Good value and very filling. I was especially impressed with waiter Ashish. Very efficient and attentive. You are in good hands here.

Food is DELISH and the service was great. The servers were attentive and made sure everything was to our liking. We enjoyed the outside seating and plan to return next time we are in London.

Dining at Comptoir Libanais in South Kensington, and it was truly an adventure for the senses. The restaurant exudes a vibrant atmosphere with its cool and eclectic decor, adorned with fascinating colorful lamps hanging from the ceiling and paintings of famous people donning those iconic...

Came here off chance, as we were attending the RAH for the Gregory Porter concert, what a chance find too. We had the chicken koftas and a couple of drinks, the Gin Garden Spritz and a lemonade with ginger and mint. Both the food and...

The food was absolutely fantastic! Highly recommend if you like Lebanese food. The service was great and the food came out pretty fast.

It is very close to the Natural History Museum and on a street with wide pavements that can then let the restaurants have plenty of outdoor seating. We sat on one such table and then ordered drinks and food. Falafels, batata harra along with Aubergine...

Great food. We felt like in Lebanon. Extremely fast service. The whole experience was great. A wonderful lunch on a sunny day.

Where to start? We were seated and had to beg for someone to come and take our order. Aside from being seated next to the bathrooms, the food did not taste good. It had nothing to do with authentic Lebanese food that I'm used to...

This restaurant is meant to be a Lebanese restaurant with Lebanese foods, however it is far from that. We've ordered Mixed grill and it wasn't cooked properly and was a bit raw. In a traditional Lebanese cuisine, the grilled food (i.e. grilled chicken/lamb) is normally...

Positioned where they are (on a very busy thoroughfare) it would be all too easy to not try too hard. But I got the sense that they really cared about what they put before each diner. We had several different ’plates’ and every one tasted...

Accueil déplorable. Refus de 9 personnes à 21h alors qu’il y avait de la place. Manifestement les serveurs ne sont...

I don't reaaaaly liike this restaurant they haave such a very weeiird food and i waited like 2 hours

Terrible ... i will never come back again. The price is high and the food is not tasty .i don recommend.

Very nice lively and very good Lebanese food. Great service from Kareena. An imperial college graduate doing computing. From Nepal. Very charming and helpful. Got me the table I wanted. Outside. Excellent fresh food. And lovely pavement outdoors atmosphere. The decoration is really original and...

Place looks really nice. Food was tasty. Nice terrace although not on the sunside. But with such dirty toilets I always wonder about hygiene in general.

Vraiment déçu. Une attente de 30mn, un service vraiment moyen, le serveur ne comprenant pas la commande alors qu’on lui...

Such a lovely place! We received amazing service from Kuda. He was very friendly and helpful. And the food was delicious!!

Very friendly and efficient service. The waiter was smiling and polite. The food was delicious and arrived promptly. We enjoyed the music played in the background. The restaurant and the toilets were brightly decorated and very clean. Lovely baklava and mint tea.

Had to queue, but museum's had just closed so this was expected. Didn't have to wait long to be seated. We knew what food we wanted and ordered upon seating. We didn't wait long for the food to arrive. We have the same items each...

Really wanted to give a good review based on the food but can’t I’m afraid due to more cons than pros.. Pros: Lovely food Good location Cons: Very small pour on cocktail costing almost £10. Prosecco with strawberry syrup was barely halfway filled. (See photo)...

Spoiled by unannounced charges. 12.5% service chrge who’s not shared with the personnel + £1 « voluntary donation » for Turkey and Syria food relief. Although I’m happy to donate for earthquake victims I WANT to choose my donation scheme. No info is given to this scheme...

Nice and very good food. The staff where good to explane and recomend different type of food.we ordered different small dishes.Rustic and cozy place.

Leider war ich sehr enttäuscht, man hat das Menü geändert und viele schöne und leckere Sachen waren weg. Es ist...

Been coming here for ages. Think the menu and/or management may have changed recently - I ordered the marinated chicken which was lovely and juicy/tender as usual, but the inclusive salad didn’t taste particularly fresh. I think it would also be better value to include...

Déco locale qui n’est pas forcément vendeuse, mais grande qualité des plats proposés, à des prix très raisonnables!!!

Na een museumbezoek zijn we hier gestopt voor een lunch. Het personeel is heel vriendelijk en het eten is echt...

the food was delicious. The decoration is beautiful but what I liked the most was the attention of Gina and Chaymae

La cucina British si sa non offre molto. Venendo a Londra sapevamo che avremmo trovato molta internazionalità…ma trovare il Libano...

Comida deliciosa e ambiente agradavel! A sobremesa estava impressionante e fechou com chave de ouro a experiência gastronomica!

We have been to this lovely restaurant before. When we arrived (around 6 pm), all tables were full and a queue had formed. We were ushered to s table very quickly. Our waitress was very attentive and we saw her buzzing about in the restaurant,...

Managed to fit us in to a tight corner, lovely food, quick service, reasonable price for London. Definitely use again.

Don't want to travel all the way to Lebanon? Just go here and get the experience. Great food, reasonable prices.

Had a voucher to use so came here for lunch. The waitress was absolutely awful and completely miserable- it was like everything you asked her for was a trying task. Food was great- especially the smooth hummus. The only shocker was it was the first...

Ho lavorato due anni in questo posto. Il cibo è nella media ed è quasi tutto, tranne la carne, preparato...

Excellent fresh food. Great flavours. Really good staff. Vibrant interior. Loved it. (Nothing else to add except padding to reach 100 characters)

Incredibly popular and busy, but we managed to get a table right on the outskirts of the outdoor seating area, it was a bit chilly as we were away from the heat lamps. Due to the outside dining being so vast it took a while...

The food was mediocre, although the chicken was quite dry and lacked flavour. The service was extremely slow, and we had to get up and tell the waiter ourselves the order. Our table was half cleaned and the rest of the dishes was still not...

Recently had much her with family during a busy lunchtime. The food was good, we all had wraps and hot drinks. The staff were busy but took our orders and food was delivered in a reasonable time. First time visiting this restaurant and really liked...

We visited on busy Thursday lunch time. We had the mixed meze and a couple of other dishes including the honey halloumi which was delicious. The only niggle is that the tables are very close together and apart from being able to hear other peoples...

The food was OK and authentic, but was let down by service and aggressive “table churn” Never have I been presented with a bill during the main course and half way through a bottle of wine - clearly they needed the table. Within minutes they...

They have obviously started to cut costs. Quality has nosedived. I has a chicken taok which i always have fir tears and was shocked to find that they have replaced the side of rice/fries with just more salad and kept price same. Chicken was really...

Fantastické jedlo! Fantastická reštaurácia s nádherným priestorom a kultúrou z Libanonu. Veľmi sme si pochutnali. Prídeme znova, ak tu budeme...

This dining experience left a poor impression and after giving this place a second chance after a very average first visit, I won’t be returning. The wait staff were so inattentive we may as well have been invisible and the food was very average. Our...

Arrived at 5.30pm to find the restaurant absolutely packed, with a small queue waiting to be seated (it's not currently possible to book ahead). There seemed to be plenty of seated diners waiting to be served and with a performance to attend at the Royal...

Terrible, terrible, terrible. Good food but atrocious service and experience. The staff are some of the worst I have ever encountered in a restaurant. Stay clear of this place.

I ate salad and drank hot tea. Service provided by Kuda was excellent! Salad and tea were delicious !

Our experience couldn't have been better, if Arjun(Server) wasn't there. He suggested us that we go for Harisa & Honey Chicken which came as half cooked chicken perfectly cooked with baked potatoes which had a good amount of garlic flavour in it. I just loved...

Virkelig dejlig og velsmagende mad. Gode portionsstørrelser. Lidt for få tjenere, men virkelig søde. Vi fik te efterfølgende, også rigtig...

This is a chain. It has lovely outdoor tables with blankets on Duke of York Square. Service is lovely. Food comes quickly but you are not rushed. Mezzo for ne is lovely and large for 11.50 GBP.

Called in on off chance after late visit to V&A on a warm Friday in Sept. Located within steps of South Kensington tube station. Website shows no pre-bookings available but walk-ins welcome. Several tables had reserved tags outside but after a brief wait at 'wait...

I have visited this place with friends couple weeks ago and the food was OK, didn't look so fresh but still OK. Service wasn't that attentive. Very good location

Had lunch at the restaurant today. My friend ordered a wrap and salad. She took one bite of the rap and said it was awful. We immediately told the manager this is awful and we won’t be paying for it. I ordered lentil soup which...

Lovely place to sit and watch the world go by and eat flavoursome Lebanese food. Excellent service and particularly attentive to my husbands wheat allergy …. there was a small mix up but a a result they wouldn’t charge us for our meal. It’s been...

I really enjoyed the Seabass Sayadiyah and the passion fruit cheese cake is delicious! A nice relaxed atmosphere, for easy dining. Great location in South Kensington, a short walk to most places.

We had a train to catch and needed to eat and move on in 45 minutes.....given the streams of people heading down Exhibition Road, I was a bit dubious about our chances. But this place managed it, and in style. Friendly efficient staff, great food....

Food was great, nice to sit, personell made you feel very unwelcome. Located near the Victoria&Albert Museum and the National History Museum.

Quick service, inexpensive. Ganavi did such a great job serving us she was very friendly and was quick in answering and giving us and advice! Very good food! Id definitely comeback!

On a adoré ! Les plats étaient savoureux et généreux et le service parfait. Petits et grands ont passé un...

My husband and I are in London on vacation and went to Comptoir for lunch. It was delicious, reasonably priced, and a very cute place. We would definitely go back.

I wondered why this restaurant was so busy and realized after eating there that the food is tasty, with generous portions and lots of vegetarian options. Pleasant service. Highly recommended.

We had a great evening trying out this lovely Lebanese food. I was torn whether to got for Very good and this is when I wish Trip Advisor didn't use the word average. This place is not average. The food is super tasty, the ambience...

Could not believe the rudeness of the waiting staff , we were eventually greeted with ‘Yes?’ after waiting ages for our order to be taken. Left waiting ages for my drink too, food was best described as adequate , but the atmosphere (or lack of...

Nourriture juste correcte mais service catastrophique: manager non aimable, lenteur absolue, moitié de la commande oubliée… Plus jamais pour moi!

Family day out with a toddler at the museum. All our food (starter, side and main) was served all at the same time, for 3 on a 4 person table. There was absolutely no space to do so. We had waited 30 mins for the...

Nous sommes arrivés à 19h15, la prise de commande a été très très longue, l’arrivée des boissons aussi, et celle...

We had a nice dinner here outside in the sunshine. The sharing meze platter was divine and the cocktails were yummy too. Friendly service.

Great Libanese food and very good service ! We will definitely visit again. Thank you for your help Stefan!

We basically alighted at this place at random. Service was fairly fast and friendly (albeit a bit too busy to do more than trade smiles). We sat outside - beware of cheeky pigeons if you do this! We had spiced potatoes, tagine, and mixed grill,...

Amazing food and great service by Benny and Dev. Very attentive and promt service. Will visit the place again.
