We had been to the place several times and we like it so much that we decided to order in for Xmass night.
Fortunately, they delivered a lovely meal on time at a reasonable price.
The food was good, presentable, and generous. I really liked it and thought it was better than most turkey meals, sides, and stuffings I've had before. They did forget the cranberry side we specifically requested.

Best Lebanese food in town! Quality food..
The atmosphere is formal, good for business dinners or family dinners. They also have outside seatings and heaters.
Manakesh Ishbilia could be their best dish from the starters! Its zaatar on pitta bread with halloumi.

A great Lebanese Arabic food at Knightsbridge. Had to wait for 35 mins to get seats. Ordered hummus Beiruty, falafel , halloumi grilled, zaatar manakish. All were good but the best was the halloumi grilled and humous. For desert had kunafe and didn't impress me at all. Have had much better kunafes.
Delicious. Hummous was fantastic and caused me great pleasure...
I've tried to get into Ishbilia before on a Sunday, and I've been denied. So I book way in advance and we get the table for 12. I arrive at 12, and I am the only person there. It's funny, in a sweet way. The server brings me a complimentary coffee while I
One of the best Lebanese Restaurants ive been too .. Went there for a Family dinner.
The food was amazing and the service was really good .. Staff were friendly and welcoming.
Started with Cold and Hot mezzeh and tried their koftah bel laban.
For superb Lebanese food, look no further than Ishbilia! They never disappoint, and tonight was no exception.
We started with some hot mezze: delicious hummous kawarmah (with diced lamb and pine nuts), nice and creamy, made with more tahini than most; juicy grilled halloumi (theirs is the best!); cheese sambousek (little pasties); jawaneh (fried chicken wings in a lemon and coriander sauce) and bamia bil zait (an okra stew). We then shared their delicious shish tawouk with garlic sauce.
We were already stuffed after all this, but we were offered a complimentary fruit platter and Lebanese pastries.
They have a good wine list, with both Lebanese and European wines. We chose a Lebanese red, Massaya Classic, which was very drinkable.
All in all, the bill came to £92 (no service charge included here), including a £2.50 cover charge per person - for this, you get some olives and a bowl of salad vegetables, which you can cut for yourself.
We will certainly be back (hopefully soon!)
This place has great Middle eastern food! Their Mashawi Mshakalah (Mix Grill) was tender and juicy! I went there with a big group of friends and colleagues and the place easily accommodated us. The staff were welcoming. The food was amazing and felt just like if you were actually in the middle east and eating from a high class restaurant. Their hummos is quite nice also. Overall, i highly recommend this place to everyone!
Very enjoyable experience, the team working there were very lovely and efficient. Food was amazing and had authentic touch to it.
Would definitely come again.
Thank you :)
Oh my goodness some friends from America suggested it and may I say it was a burst of amazing flavor.such a relaxing atmosphere and I’m thankful that I felt so welcomed and the staff were attentive and soo kind.I even got a cute birthday plate of fruits and pastries 🥰🥰 I 100% recommend
An exceptional Arabic restaurant .The food was really delicious and professionally prepared .Mr.Maher who helped us choose the menu for our dinner gathering was an amazing person .Throughout the dinner ,the service was great thanks to Nema and Radwan .
Our guests were thrilled and it was a night to remember .
What a find! Homus, grill items. There was a rice dish that is typically a Sunday special..and such a buzzing atmosphere. Die die must try!
Best labanse by far in London
Loved the hummus with lamb and shesh Barak !!!! Friendly staff and very nice seating definitely coming back and recommend !
Amazing food and service. Have been here a few times now and it’s hard to decide what to even order, it’s all so good. Highly recommended!
Authentic lebanese cuisine - and by far the best in London.
For raw meat tartar/ Kebbe Nayyé lovers, Ishbilia’s take on the dish is even better than the ones all over Lebanon.
Excellent service by Mohamad.
Came here on a Saturday night for a dinner I am pleased to say I had the best experience here. Staff were really nice we were served by Riad such a great guy.
Absolutely the BEST Lebanese restaurant in London. Get the hummus, you won’t regret it. Same with any of the lamb dishes. Also our server Nema was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. She really added to the experience in such a professional way. Will absolutely be visiting here again!
The food was absolutely amazing. The flavors, the ambience and portion sizes were perfect. It’s the perfect place to get dinner with friends and family. Will definitely be coming back and highly recommending to others!
Had the mixed grill, lamb cubes/chicken/lamb kabob. So glad I did! Each bite was wonderful. Great service and certainly a great place to taste a different part of the world. Don’t forget to try the baklava!!
The place to go for exceptional Lebanese cuisine 👌🏻⭐️
I have been to many Lebanese restaurants throughout my life many in Lebanon. I can honestly tell you this is one of the best Lebanese, no I would say best restaurants I’ve been to a long time. The service, the attention to details, the food. Everything was spectacular. If in London, you must go here. If available I would give this restaurant 10 stars not five. It’s seriously that good.
Whenever I am in London, I try visit this restaurant - We are always extremely satisfied with the quality, consistency and authenticity of the food! Today, the restaurant accommodated a large group of 12 of us at short notice and, ensured that a waitron was always available; Throughout the meal they were attentive and hospitable. The food was quick, fresh and tasty. It is conveniently situated a short walk from the iconic Harrods department store. The inside can get a little chaotic during busy times especially if there are families and children which is to be expected but the space is quite restricted.
The food was amazing and authentic Lebanese. Halloumi was incredible as well as the lamb with okra. Needless to say the hummus and tabouleh were also on point. The rice was very fluffy and soft and apparently done via steaming and not boiling! Suleman was a very attentive and helpful waiter and his recommendations were fully appreciated. The veggie basket of snacks was also a nice and surprising touch.
Nice big seating area, we walked in while the restaurant was quite empty but in no time it got packed with people , delicious Lebanese food and great quick service too. Pricy but for such a location this was expected
Rajan was the best server I ever had in a restaurant. His kindness and genuine interest in making sure we had a wonderful experience is inspiring. I wish I encountered more people like him in my everyday life.
The food their is excellent, but every time I order from them they forget an item. If they can fix that problem it would make me give them 5 star ratings
