Quick info
About Ecklee Grill
On W Barnes Ln in New Malden, Ecklee Grill is a Lebanese restaurant serving Iraqi and Middle Eastern dishes with table service. The Chicken Combo pairs chicken cooked with aubergine over vermicelli rice, alongside a Vegetable Combo and a Fasuliye Meatball Combo on the same vermicelli base. Grilled chicken wings, chicken shawarma wraps, and a mixed grill round out the menu, with tabouleh and hummus, including a spicy version, ordered alongside the mains. A chicken special for two is often paired with spicy houmous and tabbouleh. Portions run generous enough that leftovers are commonly packed up to take home. The restaurant also caters both indoor and outdoor private functions. Batata hara appears among the sides, and the dining room is kept quiet.

Customer Review Summary
Shawarma wraps draw repeated praise, with reviewers calling the chicken shawarma and the mixed grill consistently fresh and flavorful, and several single out the tabbouleh and hummus alongside combo plates like the vegetable combo with vermicelli rice and the chicken special for two. Portions are frequently described as generous, and multiple diners mention using the restaurant for catering at private functions. Staff across several reviews are called friendly and welcoming, though one reviewer found the person taking their order irritated and unhelpful when asking about a menu item, leading them to say they would not return. Value is contested too, most call it affordable, but one reviewer describes paying around twenty pounds for a lamb shish wrap that arrived mostly bread with little meat or salad, calling it not worth the money. The recurring close: regulars keep coming back for the grills and shawarma year after year.

“Coming from similar heritage and who spent years working in hospitality and later looking for a place that serves authentic Arabic food was a mission. Honestly, I can’t highly enough recommend this place, the food is amazing, the service is amazing, the owner and staff are extremely friendly and kind. I have had food from lots of places and nothing can top their Tabouleh and hummus 🥰🥰 So lucky to have this place”

“Top food. Top service. Shawarma wraps and mixed grill are perfect here. Talha and Serkar always look after me and even let me sample some of their specials when they’re on offer. Couldn’t recommend more. 5 stars !”

“Ecklee never disappoints. We have been coming here for years and love the taste of the grills. I highly recommend the chicken special for two, we tend to have it with the spicy humous and the tabulah. We have also often used Ecklee to cater for both indoor and outdoor private functions. They are always polite, professional and provide excellent service.”

“The food is tasty and well prepared. but unfortunately the service was very disappointing. I asked a simple question about one menu item before placing my order, and the person taking the order seemed irritated and unwilling to help with a clear attitude of not wanting to be bothered. While the food itself was good, the poor service and lack of basic customer care mean I won’t be returning.”
