Yasmeen Restaurant

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.

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!!

*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!!!

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.
