An early movie meant that was plenty of time for dinner afterwards. Around Swiss Cottage, there seems to be a limited amount of places to dine. Most of them are more towards Finchley Road such as Zizzi and Sprinkles Gelato. There was Del’Aziz but this closes early. Two of our favourites, Me Love Sushi and Guglee would have been perfect but unfortunately they have both closed down.

Love this place. I have been working nearby for years. Very friendly staff. Quick service. Delicious menu. Great prices. Highly recommended
We booked a table here before watching a play at Hampstead Theatre. There was just one lady at the front of the house, but she was super efficient. When we told her we had a play to attend, she ensured that we were served quickly. Portions are huge and tasty. I would have definitely packed the leftovers, if we hadn't been going to the theater. The complimentary baklava at the end was fantastic.
A gem when you're looking for something authentic and honest amidst the same ole.
The restaurant is clean and so too is the front grilling area which you can immediately see when you enter. Its always reassuring to see a chef in his spotless chef whites too.
The staff and owners will do anything to help. There is a sense of being part of a family home kitchen. If we can do it we will attitude.
I usually have the mixed grill. The meat is fresh, tender and cooked perfectly. Im never disappointed.
I have mine with salad and I cant resist the side of tabouleh which gives me an automatic feeling of Mediterranean flavours and freshness.
It has become a local spot for me where I'm guaranteed to transport myself from the the norm of London and enjoy the taste of east, its food and its hospitality.
Remarkable price for an exceptional hour or two.
What a lovely place! Super friendly staff, warm and cosy interior and fantastic prices, too. Really well catered for if you’re vegan. Food came in a good amount of time and the portions were more than enough to fill two people to the point of explosion. Will be back for sure.
Just had dinner there and it was great. I love the fact that you order per slice; as we were 6 people, we were able to share and taste all the different pizza. They were all so delicious, tasty and original.
The Nutella pizza to finish the meal is a nice bonus!
What a precious gem in the neighbourhood! Amazing Lebanese cuisine, exceptional food, and superb staff, friendly and attentive! Will definitely come back!
Incredibly friendly host that made this restaurant one of our favourites. The food comes with generous portion and reasonable price. We were welcomed with olives and farewelled with Baklavas.

Had dinner here tonight and food was amazing and while service was a little slow since packed she was very good. Had vegetarian mezza which had hummus, falafel, grape leaves, tabouli and more. My main course was bbq mixed grill. It was so good. Very nice space and prices were so reasonable. Mix up with reservation however they resolved it and worth the small wait. Picture of my entree was after I had eaten the lamb chop and two huge cubes of lamb and one chicken and still plenty!
We visited late Saturday afternoon. Beautiful food, lovely staff and were so glad we went. Beirutí humus was fabulous and we highly recommend the potato with mincemeat starter- to die for. Sharwarma for mains was delicious but we were too full to finish it so took home. Reasonably priced and very generous portions. House Lebanese white wine was perfect. We will return.
A really nice restaurant, very nice service. The shawarma is a bit dry, but you can order yoghurt sauce (additionally, it is not on the menu, but it is free and went flawlessly). The portions are very big, you will be more than saturated from one dish (without starters). They also gave us (free?) tea and a lot of free baklava. Also a really cozy and personal atmosphere. In the end, the card reader didn't work but I assume it normally works, so that shouldn't be much of a problem for you.
We visited Arabesque before a matinee show at Hampstead Theatre, and it really made our afternoon so special. The host was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious. We even asked for a doggy bag as we couldn't finish it all, which they very kindly obliged. Such a lovely restaurant, a real hidden gem.
My sister, mom and I came here during our trip to London and this was hands down the best food we had our whole trip. The amount of flavor these dishes have is amazing and you get huge portions of food. We came her multiples times after our initial visit and if ever we are in London again we will be coming back. The staff was super friendly and welcoming as well. The baby chicken is truly some of the best chicken I have ever had as well as the hummus and chai tea! 10/10 recommend!!
Incredible food - super fresh, great value for money (£22 for 2 people, a massive feast) and authentic ❤️ Brilliant service too. Highly recommend!
The mezze alone--and there must be over 40 of them--are worth a trip. Then add in the perfectly marinated and grilled meats, the small but well chosen wine list, and the fresh-mint-leaf tea, all of the above served by friendly staff, and you'll be planning your next visit.
This is the most relaxing place to eat with slow music. Very nice food, lovely clean place, super service. We always visit this restaurant, it is worth travelling to it and spent the time there.
