Yasmeen Kitchen in Brent

One of the closest restaurants near home. First visit in 03rd June 2018. It was during Ramadan; we were given some dates for iftar Very welcoming and polite staff. The restaurant is off Abbey Rd, on side street.

The food is delicious. Perfect spice. Reminds me the food from my grandmother.

The food is absolutely delicious. Very polite and professional customer service and very easy to contact. Great quality food worth every penny! Thank you again!

One of the best Middle Eastern restaurants I’ve ever tried in London, reasonable prices and lovely service. Yasmeen kitchen never fails to amaze me with their top quality dishes❤️ It’s a must try, I recommend.

Amazingggg food and loveley service also very responsive and I definitely recommend it to everyone who loves middle eastern food.❤️❤️

Very highly recommended, authentic kitchen full of great food, very generous meal with great service and value ! Who needs more than that..

I was never disappointed with the food here , it is always fresh , tasty and one of the best definitely

Once I came to London in 2016, I always wanted to have good Lebanese food. However, the restaurants claim that its Lebanese, but it does serve true Lebanese food. Yasmeen Kitchen is one of the best restaurants that serve Lebanese cuisine. The food is delicious, the staff are very friendly, and the serving time is fast.

Fantastic food. Great service and responsive. Recommended to all my friends.

Some of the dishes we had, particularly when it came to the cold mezzes, gave us a good idea as to why Yasmeen Restaurant & Cafe has, in a short period, received a number of awards. We're confident in saying that the Hummus, Vine Leaves and Moutabel were some of the best we've had. However, while the starters were, on the whole, impressive, the two mains didn't quite maintain the high standards, despite the Mixed Grill of kebabs being thoroughly enjoyed. And though one of the two desserts will have us cooing for some time to come, overall, we concluded that this Lebanese restaurant serves above average dishes, with a few outstanding ones, in an elegant setting. Apparently, the restaurant also does a Kunafa that takes 24-hours to freshly prepare, and, we were assured, would beat any Kunafa out there. Sadly, we only learned of this half way through and, thus, didn't get a chance to test the claim. There's a discretionary service charge of 12.5% added to the bill. Yasmeen Restaurant & Cafe also offers a full catering service. Menu Recommendation Drink - Champagne Starter - Hummus/ Vine Leaves Main - Mixed Grill Dessert - Mouhalabia HALAL STATUS: Alcohol served

We've not eaten specifically much Lebanese food before, and the staff was super helpful in helping us explore a few options. We have had falafel before, but this was one of the best I have ever eaten. I wish I lived near this place, or I'd be here far more often.

Nice family place with delicious comfort Syrian food.

Dropped in because we read their reviews. We were not disappointed! Fabulous food, wonderful service and an introduction to a great Lebanese wine. We had a great time, thoroughly recommend! We will be back@

very lovely food and atmosphere although staff seemed rushed and eager for us to leave

I thought this place was ok. I would probably give it 3.5 stars because the desserts were more western and what I prefer. Other than that I could not find anything distinct about this Lebanese compared to others I have been. I have to admit they all merge into one. We are vegetarian and had falafel, halloumi, hummus etc. For dessert we had the chocolate fondant. It was very rich and quite bitter. I think the centre could have been more runny. We spent 33 each. This was for 5 starters, a dessert and a drink each. I think this restaurant is on the more expensive side.

Really lovely restaurant. Delicious food, good portion sizes, good price and excellent service. We will definitely be returning!

Outstanding!! Super delicious meal from lovely starters to end

Friendly saff, delicious food, great atmosphere!

Very friendly ambiance. Great coffee. Lovely place to sit & chat.

I've been here twice . Both times enjoyed great food& Lebanese wine was excellent. Staff were friendly and attentive. Will visit again soon!

Solid 9/10 Lebanese restaurant coming from a person who’s eaten Lebanese food around the world. Excellent service as well.

Went there last night. Food was good and service was AMAZING!!! Food came out at the perfect time. Would i go back? YES!!!

Eaten here a few times now since moving into the area, been brilliant every time. Really warm and attentive service and a wide selection of Lebanese dishes. Particular mentions for the fatoush and Baba ghanoush which are both excellent. I haven't had any of the mains on my visits, but have picked a range of the cold and hot mezze options to share with friends- would definitely recommend that approach! Will certainly be visiting again very soon!

Delicious food, prepared and presented beautifully. Warm, friendly and gracious service. Lovely calm ambiance. Just perfect. 6+ stars.

I can say enough about how lovely this place is! Food is fantastic and service is lovely. The setting is really warm and nice whether its a family night out or a date. Highly recommended

Beautiful tasty healthy food with some nice vegetarian choices. Great service.

Its the best Lebanese and Moroccan cuisine restaurant in entire London. Both their food and customer service is 5 star quality. I would strongly recommend you to visit the restaurant.

I had the most amazing experience at Yasmeen. It was for my grandfather’s birthday. Service, food, drinks was top notch without the top notch price tag. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great Lebanese food.

Awful food and customer services.

The worst food I ever eaten in my life!!!

Great service, friendly staff and wonderful food. We are always greeted with wonderful pleasantries

I've ordered from Yasmeen many times over the past 5years. Never any issues with the food. This time around i am absolutely HORRIFIED! I decided to eat the other half of my takeaway from last night, for my lunch today. On chewing the last mouthful of my food, i bit down on something hard. It felt like a small stone. I spat my food out on my plate. What i did bite down on was a DECAYING HUMAN TOOTH. I feel physically sick. I've completely lost my appetite today. EVERYBODY NEEDS TO AVOID THIS PLACE, SERIOUSLY. A HUMAN TOOTH IN MY FOOD! AVOID!

Really bad experience at Yasmeen restaurant. Terrible service and we were ignored. We waited for such a long time and had to actually call the restaurant we sat in to ask for our order to be taken. The lady didn’t even come! What’s worse is that they weren’t even busy. Really not impressed from the get go. This is an instance where the food could potentially be great but is ruined by the service.

No one was here, service was very slow.

One of the best Lebanese restaurant I've tried, and they also do Moroccan traditional dishes! A must try!

Nice ambiance. Good quality food. Pleasant staff!

One of the best restaurant in the uk

Great food, great service - highly recommended

Pathetic, poor and embarrassing service! The people working there are confused, unprofessional and unfamiliar on their own menu! We had to wait 1 hour for the food, despite there being 4 tables in the place fgs! Waiter seemed confused with serving, he was unprofessional, ridiculously imprecise and hazy with orders which is embarrassing! When we refused to pay service charge, they mixed up the service charge payment after the guy with glasses refused to refund it back claiming it wasn’t giving to him! This place is a joke and shambles!

Just had early dinner at this restaurant and it was absolutely great. The staff were polite and service was friendly. We told them that we just moved into their neighborhood and the guy welcomed us very pleasantly. Food was very good. We had moussaka and butter chilly prawns and both were delicious. We also tried their chicken and lamb wraps and they were pretty good too. Definitely will return . Thank you again for the hospitality and great service.Cheers!!

Great food and lovely outdoor patio; good neighborhood spot

Food was either very good or average depending on the dish. Meats were cooked rather dry, soups were delicious and so were falafels. The service was kind and obliging but lacking in professionalism. The waitress would serve drinks by holding the top of glasses and bottles where you drink from with your mouth... that was a bit shocking. I would give it another go as maybe this was an off night but so far that’s our opinion.

Cons: Do NOT order the baklava By far the worst baklava i have ever had in my life .it was literally rock hard(like it was old and was stored way more than it should), it was absolutely hilarious how hard it was that i was too busy laughing and forgot to take a picture , it costs 7 pounds and some change for 6 pieces i wouldn't even eat if it was given to me for free. Pros: -booking online via the website was very easy and convenient -The restaurant looks super nice -The menu was very clear , and the website had many pictures which i find helps a lot when ordering. -I ordered a hot starter of fried butterfly prawns which were good but nothing special .and main dish of shish tawook with rice which was ok. -overall a nice place to go to just avoid the baklava

The night started quite well. We liked the decoration of the restaurant, the ambience, the soft music that allowed a good conversation, the detailed menu, etc. After taking a look at the variety of options, we chose our starters and mains. I ordered the fried kibbes and the lamb tagine, along the lemonade that was recommended in other review I read. At this point it was a 5 star experience. My other 3 colleagues also enjoyed their food. Vegetarian couscous and kofte tagine if I'm not wrong. All was so good, we decided to order a dessert. And how can you go wrong with ordering baklava at such restaurant? Well, what a shocking surprise. Hard Rock baklava. Stale, with the syrup solidified, and with an hilarious 'clang' one piece of it made after falling in a plate. We told the person serving us that it was really bad baklava, my Egyptian colleague tapped on one monolithic piece to demonstrate its outstanding hardness, and this person sheepishly lied telling us it was fresh. We were so amused and laughing so hard about this abomination that we left it pass; but just as a good dessert can save a bad dining experience, a bad one ruins any previous enjoyable meal. How much does it cost to make decent baklava? Does it really worth losing clients and earning a bad review a couple of pounds? My advice to the owner: Throw it away, or even better, give it as a courtesy just before it reaches such a sad state. Tell your clients to choose a different thing... Crass quality mistakes as this will harm badly your otherwise enjoyable business.

Excellent customer service food ✅💯👍

Very nice area with a fantastic restaurant, nice mood in this place enjoyable would return. Food so nice pricey but delicious may I say..

الصراحة مطعم الياسمين حلووو جدا ونظيف جدا وأشكر مدير المطعم احمد والاخ مصطفي

Great service. Good food. Recommended.

Fantastic place excellent food wonderful staff highly recomend its a mist please go

Lovely atmosphere.Very nice and tidy restaurant. Me and the wife were greeted with a smile as soon as we stepped inside which made us feel welcomed. lovely food and very quick service. I would reccomend this place and will be visiting them again with out a shodow of doubt.

Realmente genial. Comida libanesa

Delicious food, great service, friendly staff.

Delicious food and very friendly attentive service. Highly recommend

Do not be fooled by the good reviews for this restaurant, most likely written by the staff. Terrible terrible terrible customer service, waited around for more than 30mins,to be acknowledged by a member of staff. I gave up and took my money elsewhere. I later rang the restaurant to speak to someone more senior, he wasn’t interested. Avoid avoid avoid!!

An absolute gem in St. John’s Wood and probably the best Lebanese food I have had! Never disappoints :)

*update* we had the chance to try the revamped menu tonight, and we love Yasmeen even more (if that was possible) - a lot of new starters (including the calamari and chargrilled lamb/cheese pita sandwich), and a new selection of Moroccan mains, including plenty of tajines. The presentation of the dishes and the flavours are even better! The terrasse has been beautiful redone as well. Always such a treat to have dinner at Yasmeen, thank you! A favourite of ours - the hors d'œuvre are all delicious (the Humus Kawarma, with minced lamb, the Fatayer and the Prawns Fried are all amazing), and the mains are very generous (the Damascus Kafta, delicious lamb meatballs in a tomato sauce served with rice) is big enough to be shared by 2. Plus, in the summer, the quiet terrasse is lovely, with enough space (for once!) between tables and comfortable chairs. And you can book a table outside! Service is attentive and lovely, and the Lebanese house wine at 24£ is perfect.

Accidentally discovering Yasmeen on th Google map, I tried Bahrain and Morocco cusines for the first time, the kind and warm staff's explaination and serving made us feel comfortable and have a great experience there. The staff recommended us to visit Bath, I hope to do nex time. Thank You so much~!! Anyway I sincerely recommend this restaurant to anyone wants to try the cusines or plan to go Abbey Road Cross of Beatles!!!

love the outside terrace and the great food

Fantastic food and amazing service. Everyone is so friendly. Highly recommended!

Wonderful lunch! Best falafael and hummus in London!

Superb food and service. Our top favourite restaurant in London so far.

Really enjoyed our meal here. The menu includes both well know dishes and more unusual ones. All were delicious . Service was friendly and the price very reasonable.

Great service and great food. Thanks so much

Delicious food, very neat place. Incredibly clean and great waiting service. However it is a bit on the expensive side but then again it is worth it. The food is fantastic. It is located on a private road so it is very quiet and you are able to dine on their patio.

I went here yesterday for a work team lunch and it was fantastic. The service was quick, Bashir's team are a delight, especially the young lady who brought my latte out in record time I have ever experienced. The food - well I got some of the remaining food as takeaway - so I was doubly satisfied. A real taste of Lebanese food - I even tried new food I had never known about. And! the halloumi was delicious. I usually avoid this in restaurants because it's hard to not get this tasting like rubber, but at Yasmeen I even asked for more. Enjoy!

Went here for Valentine's Day, really liked the decor of the restaurant, and the staff were friendly. Was strangely empty for the romantic day of the year, and the barman wasn't around so no cocktails. That said the food was delicious we both had the mixed grill which was good value for money. Will be going back here again.

Lovely people and a lovely meal.

What can I say? Food to die for and delicious Lebanese wine. Bashir (?) was attentive - to the point of annoying my companion - but I adored him. I'm trying to find reasons to eat in St John's Wood. Loved it.

Very friendly and curtious staff good quite good too we all had a beautiful time celebrating the Mrs 65th

Great middle eastern restaurant tucked away off Abbey Road with good decor and quality food. Intimate place to dine in with friends and offers take away too. Highly recommended.

Great food but the Manager / Owner behaviour was not appropriate. I will not be going back again

The food was okay. It was also my first time eating this kind of food before.

Excellent service, friendly atmosphere. Clean and welcoming..

Excellent food and super friendly service! I've been here a couple of times and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone. Many Thanks to Bashir and the rest of the Team :)

The food was amazing and the staff were very friendly.

I've ordered there few times already and never been disappointed.

Food arrived unappetising and stone cold - v disappointing

I had a wonderful experience at Yasmine restaurant. On my way home I noticed that beautiful place with white table clothes which I like. I've parked my car ( had to pay for parking but it was only £1.5 I think). As soon as I entered I understood that I made a right choice as the restaurant looked very clean and chic. There wasn't many people as it was Tuesday afternoon. The manager offered me to choose any table I like and he never tried to move me to a smaller table as I've chosen to sit at a table for 4 ;) even before getting a menue I got a plate with olives and a warm wet towel ( was very pleasant). I ordered humus and shish tauk with rice (there was a choice between rice and a French fries) . Unfortunately I forgot to make a picture of the main dish( it was amazing 👌🏼🤗 When I they served me with my delicious humus they also brought some fresh warm flat bread 👏🏻 I had couple glasses of wine ( asked to bring me "something nice " and they brought me some beautiful wine ( didn't ask which one was it). The total bill was very cheap for that kind of place £35. The staff was super welcoming and very polite! When I have a chance will definitely come again! Thanks for my super experience!

The food is awesome and the staff is brilliant.

They delivered the wrong order but that happens it's how they corrected it. Amazing and will be going to eat there in person. Thank you lovely people look forward to dinning there. Food was very good too!

Excellent service. From start to finish. Food and service were of very good standard. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend or return. Definitely a little gem in St. John's Wood. Lebanese wine is worth a try, lots of character and uniqueness. Their food equally shared the spirit of Lebanese cuisine. Thumbs up all the way.

Abdulla and Andreea and I forgot his name the other guy (first time tonight ) I have to be honest I have never ever seen staff like them Totally amazing great service great welcome the staff unbelievable Yasmeen Restaurant deserve more than 4.2 Rating Best Food love you

Came on a Sunday evening with a friend after seeing positive reviews on Google. Staff were unfriendly and the quality of the food was poor. Although the place itself looks very lovely. It may have just been a very bad day for whatever reason but probably not worth going to again.

Great food, great place and one of the most friendly staff i have ever met. I will come back!

Amazing place to dine in, feels like home, well trained staff and respectful. Loved it

5 Stars is correct .A great night out for our party .We are putting together a date for our next visit ,really looking forward to it ,Food service ambiance 100% .Definitely worth a visit

Loved loved it. Never had such good food for a long time in London. I must say that this is my favourite restaurant even though I've only been there once but I would definitely go back to it on my next visit to London.

As we entered Yasmeen Restaurant we were welcomed with a smile and seated immediately. There were ten of us altogether out on a work do and I'm always sceptical when in a group that the service won't be able to manage all of our expectations, but I must say... I was very pleasantly surprised. The waitresses were attentive, the ambiance was comfortable and the Lebanese food was delicious and served fresh in good time. I, and a few of my colleagues had the shish taouk main which I'd recommend as we all thought it was very tender. Some of my other colleagues had the falafel, baba ganoushe and kibbeh etc... at the end of the evening, it was clear that everyone really enjoyed their meal! All in all this place is definitely somewhere I will go back to and will be recommending to my friends and family. Keep it up Yasmeen!

“A FIVE STAR MIDDLE-EASTERN RESTAURANT WITHOUT THE FIVE STAR PRICES” My wife and I were in London for a week last month (July 2015). We stayed at the Sofitel St. James Hotel and had a wonderful time there as we always do. We wanted to invite few friends for lunch; so we asked the concierge to recommend a restaurant that will impress our guests but not break our budget. He recommended a new restaurant in the St. John's Wood area called Yasmeen. What a delightful surprise. The food was to die for, the service impeccable, the decor very elegant and the prices very reasonable. Everyone in our party had a wonderful experience. Can't wait to go back to London and have another meal at Yasmeen. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
