The Pine in City of London, Westminster

Walked in for a quick lunch - got offered delicious Lebanese food prepared by a lovely family. They are using fresh ingredients and presentation is simple, yet the taste is mind blowing. If you like Middle Eastern cuisine and are around, visit this place. It’s basic but very tasty.

Family run place with picture of Lebanon on the walls and pink roses everywhere! Super warm and friendly service with delicious food, fruit juices and dessert. I can't wait for my next visit to London, Just to eat here.

Best fatoush I have had! Excellent service and lovely food overall!

A gem of a Lebanese restaurant. The cook has a deft hand, service is great, and for your picky eater a children's menu. Well worth our walk from Paddington. We split kebabs and shwarma between us. Each came with a side (rice, chips, or a nice salad). Portions are relatively large and many dishes are perfect for sharing. One of our top restaurants in a week of searching. I would love to try more of their mezze (starters) next time!

Was terrible service, took too long and messed up the orders. Food was poor.

Everything was good aside from the chicken shawarna, which was a little dry

Kibbeh maklieh was crispy on the outside with perfect fragrant meat inside. Moutabel was lovely and smoky. Baklava was the freshest I've ever had. Staff were friendly and polite.

Food was great and wait staff knew all about gluten free. Were able to order and enjoy chicken, lamb and hummus. Good option for those looking for gluten free.

We had an amazing time in our family dinner at this restaurant. The food is delicious 😋 the staff were really nice and it was quick to receive the plates. The decorations is beautiful with a lot of flowers 🌺 I noticed they don’t sell alcohol, but the thee was so good that we didn’t miss anything. I recommend this place and we will definitely come back to try other dishes.

Best Baba Ghanoush I ever had. Staff so friendly and a cozy atmosphere.

We had dinner on the first evening in this place, tasting tasty and well-served dishes with a welcome and availability to be appreciated. Before leaving we returned for dinner and our expectations were pleasantly reconfirmed.

An absolute gem of a place just round the corner from Paddington. Service was exceptional. Friendly greeting, spot on service throughout. Just brilliant. Food was exceptionally good. Fabulously tasty, well presented, excellent portions. Everything we had was top notch. A genuinely great find that I will be going back to. Was an oasis of calm and delights in a busy city.

Baba ganouj was good, but chicken shawarma looked and tasted like it’d been cooked the day before — very dry.

Amazing fettoush salad and chicken shawarma! 😍

Loved this place. The food was delicious. The portions were very generous. Good value for money. The staff were friendly and they do a fantastic carrot juice.

Very tasty, authentic Lebanese food at a fair price. The service was very friendly, definitely recommended!

Will definitely be returning here for a delicious and unhurried weekend lunch. We particularly enjoyed the mutabal and hummus/schwarma appetisers. Friendly and attentive service rounded out the experience.

Delicious food served in a wonderful, warm friendly atmisphere.

A unique place, upscale service and acceptable prices

Its well worth a visit! After looking on Google Maps to find a restaurant that was highly rated, well priced, and had a good menu. The Pine Restaurant checked all of those boxes for me. I had a view of the menu online and made a reservation. When I arrived, I was greeted warmly by the hostess and asked where I would like to sit. There was plenty of seating within the restaurant, and it's beautifully decorated! I had a good look through the menu and honestly found it hard to choose just a few things! It all sounds so delicious!! When my food arrived, the presentation was lovely. It was not just thrown onto a plate! As anticipated, it was absolutely gorgeous. My meal was so good, I asked the hostess to please thank the chefs. It was my first experience eating Lebanese food, and I was blown away. The Lebanese certainly know how to be hospitable and welcoming. I say this because, while chatting briefly to the hostess, I had mentioned it was my first time eating at a Lebanese restaurant and how I was excited to be doing so. When I had paid and was about to leave, I was so kindly given a bag with Hummus, flatbread, and a dessert as a parting gift!! I really enjoyed everything about my visit to The Pine Restaurant, it was the best decision I made, thank you for giving me a lovely experience.

Well worth a visit . Delicious food . Very friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely be going back .

5/5 The food was absolutely amazing 🤩 Everything was fresh and so tasty. There are many Lebanese restaurants in this area, and this place is the best one to visit. It's reasonably priced, and the staff are lovely. If you visit, I'd recommend trying the Baba ghanouj, the cheese sambouusek, mixed shawarma (the garlic sauce is amazing) and the Mouhalabieh (dessert) Oh and the coffee with cardamom was lush.

You can really tell the food is cooked with love and the service is so friendly

MSUT TRY! Best Lebanese in London. Their Farrooj and salads are incredible. The service is always amazing, they're all so polite especially the young man who greets us with a warm smile and a welcoming attitude. The whole staff always make us feel welcome. I've been there twice in a week and will definitely be going back soon.

The food is absolutely delicious and the staff is super friendly

Such a wonderful place to eat. Fresh and extremely tasty food. Very friendly staff. Great service. Reasonable prices.

This is a small, family-run restaurant. The food was excellent, the service was friendly and attentive, and the prices reasonable. What's not to like? We're sorry we don't live nearby, as we'd certainly re-visit. Highly recommended.

Lovely atmosphere, the venue is clean and decorated stunningly, good clean bathroom, food was really affordably priced and portions were good size, food was flavoursome and fresh, server was very polite and friendly x

My wife and I were in the area for an evening and we visited the restuarant due to the great reviews. We got so much more than a great meal. It felt as though we had spent the evening with friends. The food was delicious and healthy, and served with such generosity! I tried a shisha for the first time, and it rounded the meal of in such a relaxed way, chatting to the staff and other guests. If you are not from the Labanon it is worth visiting and taking time chatting to the staff about their food, their country and their lives. So beautiful, generous, warm and friendly. We loved every moment we spent here. We can't recommend this restuarant highly enough.

Fantastic food and service, would definitely recommend!

Amazing food and hospitality. Would recommend!

Food and service were both amazing!! Very generous and delicious

What a great experience! The lamb and chicken are so tender and juicy. The hummus is the best one I’ve ever had. And the service is perfect with a nice dessert at the end!

The customer service , food and atmosphere was phenomenal and I shall be definitely coming back here again. My friend proposed for us to visit this restaurant where we were able to have a thorough catch up The interior design is amazing along with the food quality being also great. I could not fault anything of this experience 😊

Amazing restaurant and my go to Lebanese. Thank you Mohammed!

Extremely friendly and attentive service, and the food is wonderful.

Excellent service by a male staff member (sorry unsure what his name was!) and a young lady, Miriam. Attentive, professional and kind. Miriam was very welcoming and accommodating. The food was also very nice and the washroom was very clean. Will definitely be visiting again in the near future.

Service was brilliant, the decor was classy and the atmosphere was cosy. The owners were really friendly and engaged with us. I struggled with my main as there were two carbs (rice and naan) and found the kebabs quite chewy which made it a dry dish. But my vegetable soup was comforting and tasty and the desserts were a special treat and unique. I would give this place another try but go for a curry dish instead. (Which my brother had and he enjoyed).

We had a great moment, the food is exquisite (the mutabal and the houmous are the best I’ve eaten) and very generous. The staff is also welcoming and very kind, a place to go without any hesitation

The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and the staff is so kind and accommodating. But the food is the best part of the experience, it’s delicious! Well worth the visit

Excellent service. Amazing food.

Great and authentic food. Very friendly staff. They gave us dessert for free too!

Super leckeres Essen und freundliches Personal. Die Platte für 2 Personen, die Linsensuppe und der Humus sind Weltklasse. Thank you for the nice evening.

Sabores incríveis e um atendimento espetacular

Impeccable experience! Our server Mohamed was very kind, hospitable, professional, and accommodated to our preferences. Food was 10/10, great portion sizes and authentic. Kids’ options were varied. Ambiance was charming and well curated, music choice was very welcome! Would say that the staff were the highlight of our experience, will definitely be coming again!!

I had a lovely evening with my family there. The food was perfect, felt very authentic, and even tasted a bit of home. The staff was very kind and helpful. We had no trouble whatsoever and they made sure we are comfortable and satisfied. Highly recommend this restaurant.

We had a great time, very nice atmosphere, food was great! Service was top notch!! The owner even offered us sweets on the house!!

Excellent food and the best hospitality seen. The staff is very very friendly. Service is amazing. Chef is very good and came to table as well. Everything we ordered was very nice. The meat was juicy and tender. We were also offered free dish of the day and desserts. We had an amazing experience. Will definately recommend this place.

Absolutely lovely place, food was gorgeous to say the least but the hospitality was 10/10 we were visiting from liverpool and the woman was kind enough to go out of her way and gift us lebanese deserts out of her own generosity! Definitely visiting again next time we return to london☺️

Sharwarma served tender and moist but not hot. Meat served almost cold. Also did not look fresh. Bread served not fresh Decors there but quality of food lot to be desired. For Lebanese cooking. The food was not too par. Recommend go for the starters not the sharwarma Sigbature Drinks were good

Very authentic Lebanese restaurant. The portions were generous and the food tasted great. Specially the rice and the grill. Chicken shawrma was a bit bland but otherwise everything was excellent. Good bathroom's too and seating areas was nice. Was a good shout coming here (got complementary food as well. People here are really nice)

My work team and I went for a meal here (a large group of 11) and from booking right through to the end of our evening the service, food and atmosphere was wonderful. The staff are extremely friendly and accommodating, really making you feel at home in the restaurant. It is clear they have a love for sharing food and giving people an enjoyable night.

The food was delicious 😋 and the staff were so lovely. I definitely recommend 💯👌🏻

Amazing food and amazing experience. We got the family meal and every dish was excellent. Very nice staff as well.

Wonderful place, fantastic service and amazing food!!!

We had an amazing time this evening. Mourane is such a lovely guy, we have also met the chef Ismail. The food was amazing. Lovely atmosphere. Shisha was great. We can highly recommend this place. Very nice relaxing evening

It was an amazing quality time. The food is delicious, the price is super good and we had a lot of options to choose from. The service is superb and I would definately come back.

Best hummus and flat bread I ever had. Meat and desserts are also excellent. Reasonably priced and no service charge.

Lebanese cuisine of the highest quality, with extraordinary dishes, value for money is very honest. Staff really friendly, helpful and kind. Definitely worth returning

Surprising dining experience right in the heart of Paddington.

Over the top Lebanese hospitality with gracious service and multiple items “on the house.” Portions are large and the prices are too low considering how expense London is. Dinner was only 42 pounds for three people and we took probably half of the food home.

Great food and superb Lebanese hospitality! We thoroughly enjoyed the vegetarian mezze platter, and the baklava and homemade custard were divine. We will definitely go back.

Lebanese; charming and welcoming with tasty food. I enjoyed the lighter style of Lebanese cooking. The baklava was scrumptious and the yogurt/orange desert with pistachios delicious. Recommended.

Delicious food and very kind staff! Prices really honest too Really recommended

We honestly can't speak highly enough of this incredible restaurant. The food was delicious. We had the mixed shawarma, lamb shawarma and the lamb cutlets. All three were perfect, not to mention to amazing Lebanese bread that accompanied them. What really sets this place aside from the rest is the service. Each staff member we spoke to was friendly, attentive and clearly passionate about their restaurant. They really made us feel that nothing would be too much trouble and couldn't have made the experience any better. The complimentary deserts and tea were a really nice touch and they surprised us again by handing us some extra desert to take away with us. We won't hesitate to to return here when we are next in London. If we lived locally this would become our regular restaurant for sure. If you are looking for some authentic, delicious food and great service then make sure you try this place. Without a doubt the best meal we have had on our trips to London.

Came here with my family to celebrate my daughters birthday. The portions were good, food was well presented and served promptly. They menu was extensive with a good variety including vegetarian. There was a friendly family atmosphere that was really endearing, in particular with the female waitresses.

Really friendly and tasty restaurant. Highly recommend the 2-person set which would be a feast of juicy meat for you!

Really good food and service. Took my family here and we had a fantastic dinner!

The food was amazing and the service even better. The Moussaka and Kibbee were perfect. The atmosphere is friendly and comfortable but still fun!

Nice looking little restaurant, food was okay, had a hair in the food and lamb had lots of greasy bits, some bits of the chicken were not well cooked, didn’t enjoy it that much.. I had a grapefruit juice that was nice and freshly squeezed!

Ate there yesterday - food was ok. What we didn’t like was that we had barely put our forks down and the waiter took our plates away. He gave us some comp Baklava and then gave us the bill almost straight away - it wasn’t even busy. It was very bad manners so I did not pay straight away. Waiter did not like it at all. We won’t be going back 😏

Очень вкусно. Рекомендую. Мясо - бомба!!! Порции большие можно брать одну на двоих.

A very good option on the Edgware Road for amazing Lebanese food. Very clean and good decor. The staff is very warm, polite and happy to help. Would recommend them for the food and a 100 percent for their kindness and hospitality.

Simply phenomenal food and incredible service. We had the Mixed Meze which included some of the best humus and kibbeh we've ever had. All of it was outstanding!

Stopped in for some hot drinks and a shisha to kill some time. We received a warm welcome and were made very comfortable. Our waiter was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The Baklava was delicious and the shisha was great quality. I had a Lebanese coffee which was exquisite. Highly recommended.

Very tasty food and nice staff!!

Refused to take my reservation, but appears still available on thefork.

الاكل جميل جداً انصح فيه والشيشه من افضل الاماكن اللي جربتها👌🏻

الأكل جداً لذيذ المكان أجوائه لطيفة وكان التعامل ودود وراقي من المالك الأخ علي و العاملين أيضاً الأخ مروان أنصح في المطعم والمقهى 👍🏻

Best chili sauce ever. I would like to buy the whole bottle if they sell it

Had a nice team dinner at The Pine! Service was good, authentic cuisine and nice selection of juices and teas (no alcohol). We got a mix of the vegetarian and non vegetarian sharing platters, with some other dishes - some of the meat was a little dry but the flavours were great

Amazing traditional food with great service. The best in the region.

I recently visited the restaurant on Wednesday evening with two friends and my experience was exceptional. The food was divine and well presented. I had the pleasure of meeting one of the managers who took time to explain the Lebanese cuisine to me and recommended the chicken shawarma. Thank you for the experience definitely will return.

We came in a group of 8 people and can say that this is a place in London with the WORST SERVICE from the owner Mr. Bassem. From the moment we stepped into the restaurant and sat down, he behaved aggressively and rude towards all of us. My friends were asking me why he is behaving that way if we haven't done anything wrong. At the end of the evening, I had to ask the waiter if the owner does not like us dining at his establishment, to which he replied that the owner was just overworked. The owner then proceeded as a final to tell us off for holding the door open for too long to leave the restaurant and then shaking his head. I do not usually leave negative reviews, but this one deserves it because it was bordering on abuse. Mr. Bassem, I hope you will read this and take it to heart.

This restaurant blew me away. It's easy to see that the staff there takes pride in the service and the food. Even the drinks, like juice or ayran, are made in house fresh to order. I ordered the Lebanese salad and grilled mix plate. It was phenomenal. The meats were juicy and cooked perfectly. The salads were fresh and healthy. To finish off the meal the waiter offered a small sweet treat which was appreciated and generous. I look forward to the next visit.

This was our last meal in London and it was amazing! The owners anticipate your next move. Their spicy sausage (Sojuk), spicy salad, sandwich & mixed grill were by far our favorite. Thank you for a lovely meal!

Great meal, great service. Thanks so much!

The staff was very friendly, the food was really good and for 33 pounds we ate a lot! (2 people). We ordered 1 chicken shawarma sandiwch, one meze, one diet coke, and a fruit mix drink.

Genuine Lebanese restaurant. Authentic, with a broad variety of food on the menu in comparison to other Lebanese restaurants in London. Highly recommend visiting this place. The staff are very kind and especially the manager Bassem, he is running the show very successfully.

I was very impressed by the food and and atmosphere Zozo the chef prepared the food very delicious and handsome I had to give a tip. Bassem the manager was very polite and well managed the restaurant I do recommend to people to come and enjoy the lovely food .The guys working here were very nice and friendly and asked me if everything was ok.

We go there for shisha but it's hard to resist a dinner sometimes!

Veryy good middle eastern cuisine. Visiting from USA and had visited this restaurant a few times during my few days trip it was that good. I'd say the best middle eastern food iv had overall. We had mixed dishes and appetizers and they were all top rated. This place is definitely a gem in London. The service was top notch. I will be missing this place when I'm back in the states!

Food was very good. Disappointed by the fact that is the first time in London that you cannot have tap water for some reason behind my knowledge since the table next door had two glasses of water and no plastic bottle in sight, And when asked also been treated with an attitude. Service was cold for no reason since we were nice.

Good food and excellent service

Excelente servicio y comida. DE DIEZ.

Excellent food and service. The best libaneses food.

الاكل عندهم مرره جميل والخدمة جداً حلوه وراقية وتصميم المحل جميل والاسعار هذا ارخص مطعم لبناني بشارع العرب و الاهم انه راقي

For some reason they decided to put three teabags into a tiny pot of tea with mint in it. I was expecting mint tea not black tea with mint in it.

Delicious 😋 food great stuff reasonable price. Highly recommended.

Ottima cena libanese con ingredienti scelti e piatti gustosi e abbondanti, personale cortese e professionale
