Comptoir Libanais

Had put off checking this branch out as hadn't recovered from closure of Comptoir Libanais in John Lewis, indisputably the best family dining experience in London. Their children's menu sets the standard for quality, flavour and price for any restaurant. Had tried revisiting Carluccio's etc but none meet this standard. Didn't see any of the CL staff from John Lewis but did meet the manager, Edith and her colleague Aggi. Their welcome and service was as good as anywhere and shows that Tony Kitous has a team he can be proud of. Will try Wigmore street next and then make one of them our regular after school and school friends restaurant.

Yummie Lebanese food in central London. Beautiful interior and friendly staff. Didn’t have to book a table. Prices are reasonable. There is a counter style bar for takeouts. Had the mezze platter for 2 and some other separate mezze. Amounted to a good 70£ for 4 pax with drinks. Food quality is absolutely reasonable. Hummus is good (4/5), mezze were good as well, but a bit dry. There is free refill of flat bread. Friendliness of staff however was reason enough for a 5 star rating 😊

Food was good, service was relatively fast, the waiter was courteous but not overly friendly. We ordered kebab wrap and shish tawook platter. The wrap seemed pre prepared and just heated. The most didn't seem well done. The Hummos was very good. The side salad was bland, but healthy. Nice outdoor seating area when the weather permits.

Great breakfast and a good variation if you are a tourist always getting an English breakfast in the mornings. The environment resembles what one would expect a restaurant in Beirut to look like (even though I've never been to Lebanon so slightly biased there) ;-) and the staff is friendly. We had to remove milk but that was no problem for the service minded staff. The breakfast was delish, and well worth the money. Included is coffee/tea, juice and some typical Lebanese mese-styled breakfast. Nothing to complain about and can recommend a visit! A side note is that they have pictures of famous people in fez-hats which is a bit fun.
