5 /5 Catherine D: An Unexpected Gem – Authentic Lebanese Cuisine at Its Finest
We were initially hesitant to try this restaurant, as we were the only ones there, but we’re so glad we took the chance as it turned out to be an exceptional dining experience.
It was still early in the evening, and before long, the restaurant began to fill up. What followed was a rare treat: beautifully presented, authentic food made with genuine love and care.
We opted for the Mezze 6, with a mixed selection to suit both my vegetarian diet and His penchant for meat! Every dish was utterly mouth watering. The flavours were rich and balanced, the textures varied, and the colours vibrant. The rice was light, fluffy, and cooked to absolute perfection with ample portion sizes.
The baklava, served with tea or coffee, is the best I’ve had since a trip to Jordan nearly 20 years ago. Delicately crisp, perfectly sweet, and simply unforgettable.
Pierre, the owner and manager, was warm and welcoming, as were the rest of the team. Their hospitality added so much to the experience.
Highly recommend this restaurant if youre in the Barnes area or craving a taste of Lebanon. Thank you for such an incredible experience — we’ll definitely be back!
