A trip to London is incomplete without trying the Middle Eastern restaurants there! Eager to try a convenient location for good Middle Eastern food, I dined at Najma Lebanon (One Hamilton Place, Park Lane, London W1J 7QY, United Kingdom). An award-winning team dedicating themselves to a cuisine inspired by the acclaimed Lebanese chef, Georges Rahme from IHG Hotels and Resorts in Dubai, this restaurant is known for its meat platters and mezzeh (appetizer) dishes. Eager to try their renowned dish, I ordered a platter of mixed assorted meat. A delicious dish made up of lamb chops, beef kofta, chicken wings, and skewers, the meat was served with a side of chilli garlic aioli and wild rice! A carnivorous feast that promised a variety of flavor, the lamb chops were grilled to tender perfection, showcasing their rich and robust taste, complemented by a slight char from the grill. The beef kofta, with its aromatic blend of spices and herbs, offered a juicy and flavorful bite, while the crispy chicken wings boasted a delightful combination of savory and smoky flavors. Finally, the assorted skewers, threaded with marinated meats and grilled to caramelized perfection, provided a delectable variety of tastes and textures in each bite! The chili garlic aioli added a zesty kick that contrasted the meat flavors and the nutty wild rice was the perfect canvas to showcase the variety! Truly a meat-lover's delight, made even better when washed down with a refreshing Aqua Panna. Living up to its starry name, Najma truly deserves a 5-star rating for its delicious menu, high-end ambience, and professional service! Should you find yourself in London looking for VIP treatment, the hotel and restaurant are both highly recommended!

I tried the 4-course menu as my friend suggested to visit this restaurant after work. The food was excellent and service was great. The waiter was very patient to tell us about the story of the chef and the bread. We were both particularly impressed with the sourdough. The environment overall was great especially for after work talks. The chocolate souffle was a bit to my surprise as it was very dense and rich in flavour, at the same time light and melting in your mouth. Wonderful.
