  “Have been here several times, food is fantastic, feels like it’s cooked with love (that’s the only explanation I can find, otherwise how else it should be that tasty?) staff’s very lovely and helpful, portions are big if to say the least, strongly recommending”

  “UNBELIEVABLE!! Authentic Lebanese soul food. The BEST ingredients. Vegetarian friendly. The host offered specials and tailored the lunch set menu to our needs. The dessert specials were out of this world. Even the coffee - Lebanese, achingly fresh, infused with cardamom. Every dish and part of the dish was like I was eating for the first time. I am high, wide-eyed and giggly with how much I enjoyed this meal. Not the cheapest. But where in London is?! And this is a small, independent family business. The owner is the chef. And came out to speak with us about 7 DAYS preparationprocess for the orange dessert! Go! Go Now!”

  “The food was absolutely delicious! I loved it and the chicken was so juicy and rich. There was a table next to us that was being quite loud but that isn’t really the fault of the restaurant and the waiter took a bit long to take our order but it all worked out. Great place expect to come again.”

  “The best Lebanese experience in London, from the food to the service. They have any dish you can think of, their dessert menu is extensive, and the café blanc is special too. A must try!”

  “Hoping for a good experience but ...unfortunately the taste of the food, freshness, or method of cooking, the value were the reasons for the 2 star rating. The service was good, it was empty so how could it not be and the restaurant was clean. So, asked if the lamb shawarma came with anything, was told vegetables. When it arrived, there was some cut up raw onion, one long red chilli and one small roasted onion. Judge for yourself. I have had better takeaway lamb for 11GBP, I'm being honest. Considering the price of 20.50 GBP I was not impressed by the sparse amount of meat and it was dry and lacking any depth of flavour. Moving on to the Bemyeh Bel Lahme - described as okra cooked with tender lamb in a savoury tomato sauce. It came with rice. What I got was either canned okra or okra that had been so overcooked it was soft and yellow. The lamb was tender, but again in a flavourless tomato, runny soup. I had to add the chilli from the lamb shawarma for any flavour. Again at 21 GBP this is shocking value. When asked how was everything, are you really going to accept my criticism, so I said it was fine, knowing it was not and was I going to be offered any compensation? How are you going to make it right? I also paid the 5GBP service charge which in hindsight, I should have asked to be taken off. Not a repeat visit for the reasons stated.”

  “This place is exquisitely wonderful and I can’t believe I’m just stumbling upon it today. The owner was so kind and made a couple suggestions food wise and I’m sure glad they did because it might’ve been the most delicious thing I’ve had in a while. 10/10 will be coming back here again”

  “This is from Saudi Eats in London, with 90k+ followers across social platforms. Instagram & Tiktok: saudieats.ksa Fresh, homemade Lebanese food in the heart of London 🇱🇧 — healthy Mediterranean cuisine made with authentic ingredients! @josephs_brasserie This place truly blew us away — every dish was bursting with flavor from start to finish. The shawarma platter was incredibly fresh and perfectly seasoned, while the mixed grill was an absolute feast of juicy, tender meats. But the real showstopper? The rice with kharouf — unbelievably soft and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The kharouf with rice was equally outstanding, rich, and full of authentic Lebanese flavor. From the food to the service, everything here is top-notch. If you’re craving genuine Lebanese cuisine, do yourself a favor and check this place out — you definitely won’t regret it!”

  “A great Lebanese restaurant on Kensington High Street. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, which added to the experience. The food was tasty and well-prepared — I especially recommend the rice and lamb, which were delicious. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.”
