What a fantastic place for a quiet, late lunch. Excellent food- took a little while to come - definitely not fast food! It was freshly prepared (I was sitting next to the kitchen) - well worth waiting for! Unhurried, unhassled and not over priced for their lunch time menu (available until 5pm!).

Ordered 2 wraps, chips, halloumi, rice and hummus. - chilli sauce was sour as if off - hummus bread was stale and dry - got only a few chips which were cold on delivery - no halloumi in wrap Phoned to complain and got told there was no order. Delivery over 90 minutes later. Called up and got offered a portion of chips and halloumi by this point it was far too late. Left a review on Uber and got asked to email the restaurant for them to put it right - they then ignored my messages.

Good food, the Lebanese lemonade is as good as the menu promises. Service was a bit slow and music was a bit loud, temp a bit chilly (but I am someone who generally prefers a higher temp so thats a me problem). Portion size was great - I am glad I only got a main without starters as I wad duper full with myh dish already! Would go there again.

I've eaten at Lebaneat twice—once for lunch, once for dinner—and been impressed both times. Large portions of outstanding, flavourful food, at a reasonable price. My only caution is this: Be aware that this is Lebanese, not Greek, cuisine. Someone in my party ordered the moussaka and was expecting something different from what arrived. What she was served was good; it just didn't match expectations. My lamb shawarma, on the other hand, was superb. Highly recommend as long as you read the item descriptions and know what to expect.

I've used Lebaneat for several years now with no complaint, ordered my usual mixed grill with extra bread at 17.55hrs and low and given a 50 minute delivery time, almost 2 hours later it hadn't arrived! Rang Lebaneat who said they would check orders and kitchen and ring back. Seconds later the meal arrived warm not hot, half cooked flatbread and the dish was mostly Schwarma chicken a little bit of lamb and some chicken wings. Not impressed with food and even less impressed with Just Eat who were delivering unbeknown to me! £29.50 sorry won't be ordering again for some time. 😐

My dining experience at Lebaneat has been primarily centered around takeout student meals, providing a generous 50% discount on wraps. While I've been a consistent customer since 2021, the main drawback has been the inconsistency in meat in that sometimes it can be served raw .. The range of food here is good, with 11 options for wraps making it an attractive and affordable option for students seeking a quick meal. However, the occasional issue with undercooked meat has been a persistent concern. If this particular issue were addressed and the meat consistently cooked to satisfaction, it would undoubtedly warrant a five-star rating from me. Despite this setback, I find it a reasonably good place to grab a meal and now I get the veggie wraps to avoid experiencing raw meat again. One of my go-to choices now is the spicy lebaneat wrap and the special lebaneat wrap. Staff are pleasant and friendly. Moreover, the online ordering system for pickup is incredibly convenient, making the entire process hassle-free.

Visited Lebaneat in Durham yesterday to celebrate a family birthday. When we arrived we waited 20 or so minutes for someone to take our drinks order. No one came. It was a red hot day and we were flagging in the heat and desperate for a drink. We had to go and find them and ask if we could order drinks. They said they'd be with us in 2 mins. It took them another 10 mins to come to us. It's not like they were busy as only one other couple there. They were just standing around ignoring diners. Anyway, they eventually came to take our drinks orders. We ordered our food at the same time as we didn't trust them to return. Our food began to arrive sporadically. 4 out of 5 of us received our orders but my son was left out. After about 10 mins waiting I had to go and find a waiter to ask if we could please have my sons dish. It hadn't been ordered. Then the mains started to arrive but my son still hadn't had his starter. His main course arrived after we'd all finished over an hour and a half after entering. No one came to see if we wanted any more drinks so we just didn't bother ordering any more. No apologies from the staff who just looked like they couldn't be bothered. It's a shame as the food that came was absolutely delicious so compliments to the chef. Unfortunately the service from the waiting staff was probably the worst service I have ever experienced in a restaurant. No tip left. We shan't be dining there again!

Delicious starters and drinks but don’t bother waiting for the main courses which are made without love or care. They managed to destroy what would have been good ingredients by dousing them with too much oil and salt. I usually leave good reviews but this place needs a warning. Looking forward to reviews which prove they have a new chef who cares.

Lebaneat, the Lebanese restaurant, is arguably the best dining spot I've come across in Durham. The flavors and presentation make this place an absolute must-visit. Truly the crown jewel of Durham :) We had an amazing meal here. They were quite busy, so the service was a bit slow , but it hardly mattered. My appetizer was huge and could easily have fed two. The lamb chops were perfectly cooked, and the bill at the end was surprisingly modest considering the quantity and quality of the food served. Lebaneat provides an exceptional culinary experience that's not to be missed, setting the bar high for other eateries in Durham.

Just ordered spicey Lebanese wrap and chicken shwama wrap, with chips. with baklava for desert. Food delivered on time. Was hot. My spicy Lebanese wrap was quite big, hot and tasty. My partners was thin in size and didn't look appetising. But he enjoyed it. Chips, dry and a little undercooked in the middle. Now, the baklava was freezing cold and soggy! I was not impressed at all. I love baklava, and was looking forward to eating this more than the wrap,and I'm sad to say I was very disappointed. Felt like they'd been taken from the freezer and defrosted. Please guys, these should be warm with the filo pastry a little crisp not freezing and soggy. Update on review: Please can you refund my money as you have given me food five days out of date. Update: In reply to your comment regarding my review about the 5 days out of date food. We will not be eating here again, you haven't provided a refund, and trading standards will be informed of this. You do not sell out of date food and expect a customer to return!

Late afternoon visit before an evening engagement. Place practically empty, people, I guess family, hanging about. Service fine to initially. Starters were fine but my main, chicken, was dire. It had clearly been around for a while and now reheated was scorched and bone dry. The waiter took shelter behind his lack of language. Together with children screaming, the atmosphere was uncomfortable so we paid and left. Go somewhere else, there's lots of choice.

Came at lunch for a works do. Most of us had the deal of a starter and wrap/chips or rice for £11.95. Starter of spicy potatoes was delicious and def on the spicy side. Main of chicken wrap was large and I couldn't finish it. A couple of friends took half home as they offered a take out. Also do things like pizza if you're not a fan of curry/spice. Very little choice of soft drinks- no soda or sprite on offer.

We had a group meal out here and overall it was great. The restaurant was very full to start with and it was really noisy and a bit hard to relax and chat. Later when the crowds left, it improved. The Lebanese lemonade was tasty and refreshing on a hot evening. I enjoyed my chicken and lamb shwarma meat with salad, glad I didn't ask for chips as it was already very salty and not a vegetable in sight otherwise, aside from a pickle garnish. It wasn't really clear who the flatbreads belonged to as they were just put down in the middle of the table. They were good though, made some tasty wraps. The vegetarian dishes looked interesting and I think I'd try one of those next time, perhaps with someone who was up for sharing their meat dish - just for balance. It did feel a bit expensive, but a good evening and I'd try them again, but perhaps at lunch time when they're less busy.

Shared a mixed platter which when it arrived looked absolutely stunning. A mix of salads and meats from the restaurants menu. At £25 a person I thought was great value. The lamb chops were my personal favourites. Everything was so tasty and very full filling. I had asked our host if we should get starters, and thankfully, she smiled and said no. I didn't get her name but she was attentive but not overbearing. Ten out of ten for service and the food. We will definitely be coming back.

As an African whose taste buds are used to unique spices, I don’t get easily impressed by foods at some restaurants but Lebaneat completely blew my mind yesterday with their Shawarma chicken. I almost chose to eat the chicken with chips but the waiter suggested that I try it with the rice in order to get the full experience and I am so happy that I listened to him!!! This meal was a party in my mouth and I made sure to eat every single grain of rice & piece of chicken on that plate. I also love that the meals come with some Lebanese bread and garlic sauce! My friends also loved their meals and I heard no complaints. The service was spectacular and the waiters were always available to assist us with anything. They were also very willing to take photos of my friends and I, which I appreciate so much. I’ll definitely be returning to this restaurant!!!

The place looks inviting, the food is great also. However, it was a little difficult ordering as the waitress did not understand what we were asking. I asked if there was beer on draught, but she did not understand. I just ordered a bottle. I later found out there is no draught served only bottles, which are quite expensive, nearly £4 for a 300ml bottle. So, come to ordering food, 2 of my party ordered wraps - pointing to it on the menu as her English didn't seem too good. The food came, very good quality, very tasty and worth the money. Only thing was, the two who ordered wraps, didn't get wraps at all, but just left it at that due to the difficulty in ordering food. Apart from that little issue, everything was great. Food absolutely gorgeous and staff very polite and friendly. Would I go back, yes, would I recommend this place, definitely. Only thing I would say is make sure you are clear with your order.

After reading the rave reviews my boyfriend and I were excited to try the food at Lebaneat Durham and we were hugely disappointed! The food was bland and cold. The front cover of the menu states if you want something made spicy the restaurant can accommodate this - sadly this was not the case. The waitress didn’t smile once and unfortunately there was an odour issue from her which was rather off putting. She threw ingredients into a jug wearing no protective vinyl gloves. She touched the ingredients with her bare hands! My partner’s lamb wrap was greasy and bland. My kofta kebab was tasteless and rubbery. It was the worst Lebanese meal we’d ever had and we won’t be returning.

Unfortunately after liking this place very much the first time I visited it, I've got to leave a negative review now. They demonstrated they couldn't upkeep the good standard, so I do not recommend it anymore and won't be visiting again any time soon. See on the photo the same dish me and someone else ordered. We ordered the same. The price is £18.95. First we were told we need rice as a side in addition. I said I prefer it with vegetables, which are listed in the dish anyway. Another person wanted rice. Then they came to confirm we indeed want rice, but explained it's a part of the dish, so I said yes, that's fine, bring rice too. And we both ended with salad (different) and chips, very little vegetables, no rice for me, plus two side chips. Why would we need so many chips??? Could have gone to chippy. Then we were said even if we don't want them just take them home. What an attitude, how generous! My lamb was also hard, and the 3d person in our company had beautifully arranged king prawns, but cold. I think the cook made an english version of the dish for some unclear reason. The person supervising the floor is unexperienced, the waiters are all young. They are trying to be nice, helpful, and do their best I'm sure, but they make mistakes too. If you want to pay for their work experience go on, book the table. I think the fault is with the management, not the waters.

Lovely food that's delicately spiced and not greasy. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere very relaxed. Thank you.

Food was decent, not amazing but not bad £2.50 for a coke was a bit much when it's poured out of a can in front of you. Would say 6/10 would be a fair rating overall.

Despite its status as a household name amongst Durham's students I've always found the grub here to be a little disappointing and service mixed. Certainly the food is nice by and large, yet it's just never quite perfection.

Have visited many times and always enjoyed it but not so much this time. Called it around 5 on Saturday no other customers in but it was after new year. There were 2 people sat at a table one with her coat on slouched over engrossed in her phone the other man came to serve us. Service was good. We ordered a few dishes too share among the 5 of us. Calamari was excellent but small portions even though we ordered 2. Prawns were great. But most of the other dishes were very very salty on mentioning this to the server he simply didn't seem bothered at all.

Stayed in the B and B which was reasonable, went down to the restaurant part to have some tapas, everything is sticky to the touch tables menu chairs, and the smell of grease is off putting. The female serving had an attitude, there was obviously some contention between staff as I heard a few comments, the tapas arrived, they were OK although that same greasy smell was lingering, my pizza arrives and its soggy and that smell again, you know when the toppings literally slide off the base in a oner. I sent it back, there was lots of noise coming from the kitchen following my complaint,the wine was awful, I went back to my room, my partner finished her steak n chips which she said were ok, apparently when I'd left the chef was arguing with her in the restaurant over comments about the pizza, he still charged for it, I wanted to go back down and speak to him, she advised me not too, it's been a long time since kitchen staff have actually come out in front and had a pop, I mean that says it all, no wonder its shutting down, I do not recommend it.
