Just perfect place for dinner before going to Hampstead Theatre next door. Lovely food. Very friendly staff. Quick service and nice seating area. So close to Swiss cottage station.
Definitely an amazing experience here. This is the best middle eastern restaurant near St Johns Wood. From the warmth and hospitality to just simply the cuteness and quaintness of this place. It was a wonderful meal. With a really great grill.
The atmosphere and the service was phenomenal. There hostess Ruta. Was warm and it made the dining experience on a warm sunny Friday afternoon definitely worth every decadent bite.
Would definitely also recommend the baklava and the freshly made humous.
My new favorite Arabic restaurant near Hampstead Theatre! Delicious vegetarian options with amazing service. Great for pre-theatre dining with indoor and outdoor seating. We even got some complimentary dishes to try, such as baklava. Will definitely be back!
Amazing place, very homely feeling. Great value for money good quality meat and halloumi. The waitress was from Lithuania but we thought she owned the restaurant because of her testament to us. She was brilliant. Thinking of a great Arabic restaurant? Come here.
So glad I found this place! Very fresh and delicious dishes from a variety of Middle eastern restaurant. The restaurant seems super clean and so does the staff. Prices are very affordable too! The host is very friendly, warm and welcoming.
Great Middle eastern restaurant in Swiss Cottage with food options and service, fulfilling portions and affordable prices! They also catered small/big events for my company and it was wonderful. Thank you guys 🤍
Incredibly friendly host that made this restaurant one of our favourites Lebanese restaurant. 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! Definitely the best middle eastern restaurant.
What a precious gem in the neighbourhood! Amazing Lebanese cuisine in Swiss Cottage library, exceptional food, and superb staff, friendly and attentive! Will definitely come back!
Great Arabic restaurant and generous dishes size, great feeling of hospitality and reception from kitchen and service staff as well.
A really nice Arabic restaurant in St Johns Wood, 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.
Incredible food - super fresh, great value for money (£22 for 2 people, a massive feast) and authentic ❤️ Brilliant service too. Highly recommended middle eastern restaurant in Swiss cottage!
Great midlle eastern restaurant in St Johns Wood, the hosts are very professional and generous. Really made us feel at home! Excellent food too.
This is just an amazing place! They have been serving Lebanese food since 1992. I went with a friend for lunch and we were spoiled with all the delicious food and generous portions. The staff/owners were so kind and lovely! I loved the decor as well. It wasn't busy at lunch time on a Saturday but it would be a popular spot for afternoon/evening pre-theatre meal. Hampstead theatre is just next door. Arabesque is just next to Swiss Cottage Station on the Northern Line. I'm looking forward to coming back soon.
I Enjoy the Mixed BBQ Grill and Fresh Orange Juice and Amazing Food, Comfortable Atmosphere and Excellent Service and Anna is friendly, Thank you. Amazing Lebanese restaurant near Swiss Cottage Library just close to Hampstead theater.
