Stopped here on the hop on hop off bus. We decided to grab lunch and this was perfect! Fresh high quality ingredients! The mezze platter for two was just what we were looking for. Place was very busy, glad we were seated so quickly. Highly recommend!
Being a Yank on a solo trip and having no idea where to eat-was actually pretty fun! I took the Underground from my hotel to visit the museums. Since my inner clock was very out of whack, I visited the museums early and after set off for a bite. Comptoir is so appealing from the outside, I thought for sure-tourist trap-and I didn't care. I ordered a chicken salad which was delicious. I wish I had more time to people watch, this is a great spot for that. Hopefully I can return.
We stopped by Comptoir Libanais after the Natural History Museum and were happy to see all the outdoor seating on such a beautiful day. We ordered olives and the mezzo platter with prosecco, and we didn't stay long due to all the bees - beware if you have allergies - but the service and food were amazing and convenient to other cool local bookstores, shops, and restaurants. If you're craving Lebanese food and are sauntering around London, Comptoir Libanais is a great stop with beautiful decor, food, and service. Visual Review: https://youtu.be/rbeeZLHOEcY
After walking 19,849 steps, amounting to 8,7 miles, I was parched and hangry AF. Not that we hadn't been stopping to refuel, but sightseeing took a toll that day... Before getting on the metro at South Kensington - very conveniently situated in a colorful square, is this fun restaurant serving up delicious Lebanese cuisine. Just-right-sized portions, delish ingredients mixed and perfectly adorned with sauces, leaves, spices, veggies and fruit. Pure goodness. Excellent service, fun decor, dinner for two hungry tourists: £38. Perfect.
Friendly, attentive service with a very colorful cozy vibe. This was my first night visiting London from the U.S. and I was happy to come across this restaurant when it was time to eat dinner. The vodka apple, mint, ginger lemonade was tasty and so was my main course of the falafel wrap platter. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was that the bread was a little too hard for my taste (not sure if it's cuz it's Lebanese bread versus Greek bread) and I've had better falafel. But overall a good choice for decent food, an aesthetically pleasing place with great service.
A great restaurant with great atmosphere. I would have rated this a 4.5 but I am rounding up because of the great entree, reasonable prices, and very good service. I got the lamb Kofta tangine and I highly recommend it. Lots of flavor ! The pickles entree was really good too. My wife got the spinach fatayer and it was good but a bit too much bread for our taste. Both of our teen kids got the marinated chicken taouk and loved it. The chicken was fantastic!!! On a side note, I got an Almaza beer and probably would not get it again nor would I get a fresh mint frozen lemonade - it was not sweet enough. Overall- The place was rocking with a good mix of couples on dates and families eating there. It was a good casual place where everyone could be comfortable.
Exceptional middle eastern food. Everything was fresh and delicious. I had the falafel wrap plate. It arrived grilled, warm, flavorful. My friend had fattette with lamb, also superb. Decor is bright, colorful, and service is fast and warm. A great place to stop on the way back from the V&A or other Kensington museum on the way to the south Ken tube!
