Orjowan in Kensington and Chelsea

For an authentic taste of Lebanon in London, Orjowan is a must-visit. This family-run gem serves up a vibrant mix of mezze, grilled meats, and traditional dishes in a warm and inviting setting. Signature dishes include the crispy, flavor-packed Falafel, the rich and hearty Mousaka, and the refreshing Salata Jabaliye, a Lebanese mountain salad bursting with fresh ingredients. For mains, the Lahem Meshwi, featuring tender charcoal-grilled lamb skewers, and the succulent Sea Bass served with spicy potatoes, showcase the kitchen’s skill in balancing bold spices with fresh flavors.

One of the best Arabic/orientalic restaurants I have ever bin to. 10/10

Whilst it was quiet when we ate (early) the combination of welcome, advice, friendliness and then tastes could not be bettered. The atmospheric music was there but not overpowering , complementing not drowning the senses. The Aubergine Moussaka was to die for, warming and flavorsome. I had no complaints about the mixed grill. Overall our experience was simply a wonderful start to our few days in London

We found this amazing restaurant out of pure luck and all I can say is wow! Incredible food and the staff were so friendly and gave great recommendations. So tasty! 100% recommended and we will be back for sure next time we visit London!

Este restaurante de propiedad familiar es con mucho el mejor restaurante libanés donde he estado comiendo. El servicio es 100% atento. ¡Gracias!

We went there with a group of nine, the service was very pleasant and accommodating to our needs. On top of that, the food was delicious.

We have walked past here a few times and thought this place looks good. Tonight, we finally ate here. Come here hungry. I read the reviews, and everyone said, get the set menu. GET THE SET MENU! You can't go wrong with this. It has a bit of everything, and you will leave here very full. The house red wine is also very good, fruity and full-bodied. The staff are very friendly and attentive. They even said you would not need to order extra dishes with the set menu, and I am glad I did not.

What a great place! We were welcomed by lovely staff who assisted us in choosing our meal. There were two adults, and a young teenager, and he said that the set menu for 2 would easily feed us. We should have listened ! We ordered a couple more Meze dishes for our daughter, and when the food started arriving I wasn’t sure it was going to stop ! Wonderful tasty food. We were stuffed. We would highly recommend eating here. We are so glad we tried somewhere local to where we were staying. We based our decision on previous reviews, and they were spot on!

Ali and his team colleagues were wonderful managed my wife and my allergies with carefully chosen individual meals. The Lebanese Merlot was a treat. Thank you to the owner.

Found this gem while staying in the area. We were greeted by a lovely gentleman who recommended the set meal for 2, which we decided to go for as it gave us several dishes to try. The gent also helped us pick a wine, which was deliciously fruity! Highly recommend the set meal.... there is so much food! We started with a selection of small plates; humous, pitta, chicken wings, falafel, salad, potatoes, and a cheese filled pastry. For main, we were served lamb and chicken skewers with rice. Everything was absolutely delicious, and we took some baklava home with us for the 3rd and final course as neither of us could eat another bite. Brilliant value for money, delicious food, generous portions, beautiful wine, and a great service from start to finish. Thank you for a great evening 😊

Very good food and friendly staff.

Great experience. Lovely food, great staff.

Great restaurant with a lovely service and an incredibly exquisite food. Super recommended!👍

Lovely friendly staff,with great service! But the food was just ok..not the best of taste.

Absolutely no faults. Best hummus I’ve had in a long time. My dad cleaned every single plate and polished off 2 incredible Knafeh desserts. Can’t recommend enough!

Lovely food. Authentic Lebanese. Subtle atmosphere and great choice of background music. Highly recommended

Delicious food, well served, spaced out but not excessive. The very kind and close attention of its owner

Eaten vegetarian/vegan/fish. Everything was very tasty, pleasant atmosphere and good service. Thank you.

The service is good The food is delicious Especially the manakish, which is hot

Very good dinner, Ali very friendly and kind.

Came here for a date, and wasn’t disappointed. Hard to go wrong with Lebanese food, and the staff in Orjowan have nailed it. Ali in particular and his lovely female colleague whose name unfortunately escapes me were stellar. Worth the money, couldn’t recommend more! -Ash and Aidan

Esta fue una experiencia realmente pobre. La comida es de baja calidad y el servicio muy lento. No puedo recomendar este restaurante. Teníamos grandes esperanzas, pero no es nada como lo que esperábamos. El pollo estaba duro y masticable. El cordero era muy desagradable.

Wonderful family-owned restaurant just off Earl’s Court Rd by the Tube station. Do not miss!

Restaurant très bon, très bien, beaucoup de saveurs . Bon rapport qualité prix Juste un petit bémol sur la musique un peu forte

the Kellaj wasn't very good. dry and small size. the cheese sambousek is one of my favourites - please stop putting it on top of the salad as it makes them completely soggy by the time it is delivered!

ambiente accogliente, personale gentilissimo e cibo ottimo

It was very good but i wouldn’t reccomend because the morning after i ate it I threw up everywhere and had a terrible stomach ache

Great lunch at Orjowan. We really enjoyed the food, we got a lot of mezzes fo share. Our favorites were the hummus, samboussik cheese, spicy potatoes and manakeesh bel zaatar. Unfortunately service was meh :/ . Good lunch, service and ambient could be improved.

Fantastic place, great atmosphere and service

Me and my wife has a late dinner at this place Food and appetizers were amazing! We ordered humus, labneh, and Kafta for the main dish. I really recommend this hidden gem!

Really amazing place to have authentic Lebanese cuisine!! Highly recommended!! Props to Ali for such a great hospitality!

Great food. Kind people. Been there a few times. Ali has been excellent!

Really great food, a unique discovery. Amazing service as well! Couldn’t recommend more! The only thing I didn’t like is that they add 12.5% service fee which I didn’t expect to have to pay and it made my bill much larger than anticipated. I believe this should be an opt in, the service was so good that I felt bad to ask them to remove it.

Incredible. The welcome was lovely and the service was excellent. The food! Omg. Absolutely delicious. Including the wine! Do not miss this family run magnificent restaurant x

Food and service were amazing, would highly recommend

I got food poisoning from this restaurant

Great range of dishes, was more impressed with the hot main meals than the ‘mezza’. Easy going and friendly service.

We went for 3 cold and 3 hot meze and a couple of drinks. Too much food! Unfortunately two of the dishes were very similar (should have asked). Would definitely recommend salad with pitta bread, the sausage stew and chicken & pine nut patties 😋

Freundliche Bedienung, leckeres Essen, große Auswahl an Speisen und Getränken, zentrale Lage am Earls Court.

Nice place, good food and friendly service.

Great food and lovely staff! Will definitely be back!

OMG this place is AMAZING! The food is scrumptious! We wanted to lick our plates - it's that good! Quick cheery friendly service and relaxing at the same time. No one was rushed. Very enjoyable evening out!

Helpful and attentive, generous portions, I really liked the falafel, perfect value for money. The restaurant is old, tables very close together, uncomfortable chairs. The wine list at abusive prices

kharoof meshwi was dry dry dry. needs more gravy. seems to be going downhill. I only order from here for this one item as it's usually really good. but not so much anymore.

The restaurant is located near Earl's Court tube. Our table was next to the door which was mostly left open and it was cold. The service was quite fast. I liked the hummus but I didn't like the ravioli at all.

Extremely friendly staff and delicious food! The portions were generous but the waiter offered a doggy bag so I didn’t waste any food. I had the houmous with chicken, the halloumi and fattouche. As dessert I had the Lebanese Delight (Mahalabia), which was perfect. 10/10 can recommend!

The servers were nice and very responsive. The food was good and the portions were bigger than expected.

Low-key place with amazing food. 100% a must-go.

Acabamos de tener la cena más fabulosa en Orjowan. Realmente estamos tratando de comer en pequeños restaurantes familiares mientras estamos en Londres. Esta golosina libanesa está justo al final del camino de nuestro hotel. Caminamos un par de veces y decidimos probarlo. Nuestros chicos compraron pollo kabab y compartimos la más deliciosa lubina a la parrilla. Nuestro servidor, Ahlaem, era tan encantador — tan cálido — nos sentimos como si estuviéramos con la familia. Podríamos tener que volver mañana por la noche. Muy recomendable!

Primera bandera roja: el pan de pita comercial en un restaurante libanés siempre es una mala señal. Segunda bandera roja: el cordero shawarma estaba muy seco. Tercera bandera roja: la caña de cordero no tenía caña y era insípida, simplemente algún cordero cortado amontonado en ricas. Quizás sus otros platos son mejores, pero no estábamos rondando para averiguarlo.

The food was really good and lamb shank tasty

Orjowan no es solo uno de nuestros restaurantes favoritos en Londres, es uno de nuestros favoritos en el *mundo*. Hemos cenado allí 4 veces y cada una ha sido una gran experiencia. Todo es sabroso y bien ejecutado. Mi opción principal son los langostinos Orjowan King: los langostinos son suculentos y están bañados en una rica salsa picante. También hemos probado varios de los pollos principales y el Kafta Meshwi, todos los cuales están especiados y cocinados perfectamente. Para el mezze, pruebe el Hummus Beiruty, Halloumi y Mousaka. Si no estás cerca de Earl’s Court, Orjowan todavía vale la pena el viaje. ¡Es un 15 sobre 10 en la escala “yum”!

To be honest, the restaurant is very, very excellent, and the people there are very helpful and kind I ordered mixed grill, kebbeh with yoghurt, moussaka, hummus and rice The food was 10 out of 10, especially the grilled meat and the Lebanese kibbeh, and the price was excellent and very reasonable. I highly recommend it, especially its outdoor seating area, which is very beautiful.

The food was amazing and we were shocked at how little it cost. We were a family of 5 and shared 7 small plates for less than 60 pounds.

The Meal was small and i‘m a normal erster. I finished After 5 Minuten. The staff didnt Even Talk to us except Taking out orders. Not even a thank you for a 20% top. Nothing. No good bye. Very Bad experience

We hadn’t booked and just happened upon this wonderful restaurant and I can’t recommend it enough! The food was incredible, it was flavourful and the portions are bigger than expected but just the right amount for sharing. The service was fast and delightful, it was really quiet when we went so we sat outside and enjoyed a quiet meal for two. The price was reasonable for the amount we got and the desert was beautiful! We will definitely be back when we are in the area <3

The homemade food, atmosphere and service were all outstanding. This family run restaurant is such a good find. Thoroughly enjoyed it! The Lebanese beer is pretty good too 😊

The food was really delicious, menu is quite rich and service totally sympathetic.

Very welcoming staff, wonderful meals, amazing location, I will go there again and again.

The food is delicious, especially for a woman. Awesome menu, enough for more than two people. Delicious, delicious👍🏻 I forgot to take pictures, to be honest.

Friendly staff, food was prepared quickly and good choice of interesting Lebanese dishes, a few of which were new to us. We chose both hot and cold mezze and had no room for main courses! Prices are reasonable and, although it was busy, it was not to noisy. We had a good evening - a family reunion in pleasant surroundings.

Great food from a family run restaurant.

THERE IS A SCAM GOING ON HERE- The owners are working with professional pickpockets!!!!! We sat inside to eat right near the counter. When we were Getting ready to pay the bill and my husband took his wallet out , two women came in with laminated sheets saying they needed money… the hostess/ female owner was very comfortable with them coming in, that should have been a red flag !! They whisked in and one of them placed the laminated sheet on top of my husbands plate area and pointed to the sheet obviously begging for money - and placed it right on top of where his wallet was . The owner was processing the credit card and when the women left, they took their laminated page AND MY HUSBANDS WALLET!! They were professionals, and we have NO DOUBT in our minds that the owners knew these two women because they had such a lax attitude about the whole incident and has no problem with them coming in to beg for money . We called the police and THEY NEVER SHOWED UP. Said there were too many pickpocket complaints and they couldn’t keep up with them . DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT!!! We went through hell cancelling credit cards , husband has to get a new license , plus we felt so utterly violated and it pretty much ruined our vacation .

pretty decent authentic lebanese. shish tawooq is the best on menu. the kebab is average, shawarma also average. perfect humus beuriti

Good and nice. Staff are friendly

There is a young boy there who is rude, has no manners and also has over charged me for a bowl of salad. Service is awful, food isn’t great, customer service is totally terrible. I ask to speak with manager they refused to speak to give me his details. Honestly before you come here plz check your bill, because they overcharged you without you being aware!

La qualité de la nourriture et le service. On avait réservé à 20h30, à 22h30, on s’est un peu fait mettre dehors. L’addition est arrivée sans que l’on la demande mais sinon resto impeccable et très bonne nourriture.

Outstanding food, better than any comparable restaurant I've found in the U.S., very pleasant staff and overall experience. Potential allergens are clearly listed on the menu, dish by dish. Do not miss this gem in the Earl's Court area of London! (Just a couple of blocks from the underground.)

Excellent food and very friendly service at outdoor tables on quiet lane very close to Earl’s Court Station. We ordered more than we could finish so we took the rest to go. Has a shared kitchen and take out space attached with what looks like the same menu.

Really nice food, good service. Well recommended (chicken liver was 👌)

Definitely my new favorite Lebanese restaurant in London. The food is really good and very tasteful, the service is amazing, they are warm and welcoming. If you go, try the hummus Beiruty. We are coming again soon for sure.

Fantastic local Lebanese restaurant in London. A little gem and great food and service.

My husband and I had dinner here while visiting London and I am already overwhelmingly excited to come back the next time we travel to the UK. Everything we ate was so delicious and the service was wonderful. We shared the hummus beiruty, spicy potatoes, kibbie batata (wow wow wow!), and lamb shawarma. Amazing dinner!

Supertrevligt, och jättegod mat!

portion of kharoof mehshi is getting smaller. hummus awarma had a funny taste and smell... didn't seem fresh and drenched in oil. quality is becoming bad

Το φαγητο ηταν υπεροχο το οποιο μου το προτεινε η μοναδικη και εξαιρετικη AHLAM η οποια με υποδεχθηκε με ενα τεραστιο χαμογελο θερμα και φιλικα , Το περιβαλλον το εκανε το προσωπικο πολυ φιλικο και το φαγητο φρεσκο και πεντανοστιμο !! Εξαιρετικο !!!

Great location, superb service and delicious food from appetizers to dessert. Would definitely come here again.

Amazing experience and great service by Ali! He looked after us so well. We will definitely be returning because of his great personal attention to the guests.

Brilliant family meal at this restaurant, lots to choose from even with my two veggie (and fussy) daughters. Lady running the show was engaging and great with the girls felt like it’s her place. Definitely return if we are passing again although it will be a while before I need to eat again!

Found on trip advisor so many choices so was recommended 4 meze that were a great choice and. My husband and I shared a main course with a side , could recommend

The vegetarian moussaka with grilled halloumi was my most enjoyable meal in London.

This is just off earls court high street .staff were lovely and food amazing

Best Lebanese restaurant in Kensington.

Great Lebanese food, very friendly service, and nice atmosphere.

Very good food! The hummus is delicious! We got three or four other starters and a mix of grilled meat, everything super! Really recommend! PS: the waiter was very kind and professional

Not happy with food quality, called restaurant and made a complaint. Nothing done

Over-priced, over-cooked, bland...1 star only because 0 isn't an option! Ordered from here for the first time based on reading reviews - terrible mistake. Chicken was overcooked, like leather and bland, tasted like it was bleached! Kibbe was absolutely fried to a burned crisp - inedible Hummus was edible NEVER AGAIN!

having not ordered for quite some time I was disappointed with the kharoof meshwi which is the only reason I order from here. there was too much fat left hanging on the meat. also, the portion size has reduced significantly. it was lacking the much needed gravy which makes it special. the lentil soup and hummus awarma were fine.

Excellent food, highly recommended for authentic Lebanese and reasonably priced

Friendly, welcoming and available staff. We ate very well. The house wine was very good. We enjoyed the atmosphere of the place.

The four of us wanted to have a lovely quiet meal. The two young men serving could not be bothered to actually get our orders. No water, no drinks, no foods nothing. I made eye contact with the woman (who I assumed was in charge) and she quickly told them to get to us. No apology, takes our order. It should be noted there were only 2 tables in the restaurant. While the service was legitimately terrible (and of course they put a service charge on the bill), the food made up for it...and the twinkling lights enveloping the dining area.

Good food, if you like Lebanese cuisine you’ll like the restaurant. Service and atmosphere average

Yummy food, brilliant atmosphere and superb staff.

Good restaurant for middle eastern fare - the kebob was great. The Lebanese wine was quite nice.

Very average. Nice enough but not as good as we were expecting. Staff very accommodating with our baby and pushchair. Very hot inside, uncomfortably

Delicious and great service! Get food to share. I highly recommend the hummus beruity, falafel, moujaddara, and spicy potato! You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu
