Beirut Express Ii

Truly fantastic! One of the few authentic Lebanese restaurants in the UK. Located nearby to South Kensington underground tube station and plenty of buses stopping bear the restaurant, the location is excellent. The waitress was so lovely, friendly and talkative and made sure we were all happy. Furthermore, for a shop that looks small from the outside, there is lots of space inside. The toilets and the entire restaurant was clean and well kept. The food was extraordinarily mouth watering! The price was decent and plentiful and food was served quickly. There is such an enormous range, including a myriad of traditional Lebanese starter mezze's, an enormous range of meat, rice, vegetarian dishes and sandwiches including shawarma. The freshly squeezed juices were incredible. At the end were pleasantly treated to an assortment of fresh fruit and 4 pieces of chocolate halawa/halva as desert on the house aka it was free! A brilliant way to end the day. I have provided a photo of the dish I had, which was roasted baby chicken, on-top of brown rice mixed with mince meat and roasted pine nuts, garnished with salad and complemented with freshly squeezed fruit cocktail smoothie!

This is your standard Lebanese food, which is well above par of all other cuisines. At least in my opinion. Lebanese food, and Beirut Express included, is delicious. The small plates and the large lamb dishes are quite good and will leave anyone craving more. Come and give it a go. This place should always be packed, but we were the only customers here when we ate. Edit: from 4 to 5 stars based on service and great care for my family. Free Chips for our daughter and a free fruit dessert plate. Excellent service and very kind care.

Large-ish portions for the price. Complimentary green olives and fruits...biggest portion of free fruit I've ever seen. Got the mixed grill and while grilled lamb and chicken were good, the minced lamb was a standout for flavour and seasoning. Completely unexpected as minced beef is usually worse than chunks of beef, but here the minced lamb clearly won. Hummus smaller than expected but still enough.

Nice place. Most cooking takes place in front of you I open kitchen. Tried Fresh salad called Marroush , Chicken-lamb mix shawarma, and Turkish lamb kofta on skewers were good. Tap water comes with a slice of lime. Post lunch they gave a portion of sliced fruits and baklava complementary. Lunch for 4 would cost about £55 without drinks.

Food was good as usual. The menu is cheap and cheerful. Got the mixed shawarma, side of fries and melon juice. Melon juice was great, really refreshing. Service this time around was slow. Waited a while to get our bill, ended up making my to the till and asking for it. Otherwise, would have been 5 stars.
