The Lebanese Diner

I eat at this Lebanese restaurant whenever I am on business in Kensington its just two minutes from Kensington Close hotel. The food is always excellent with fantastic service and some very well cooked daily specials. My favorites are Taboulleh and Haloumi for starters then followed by chicken taouk BBQ and washed down with a lovely Lebanese beer. I recommend this place.

The food in this lebanese restaurant was to die for, it was well presented and very tasty, we were surprisingly full after the second course and forced ourselves to try the baklawa. We had a fabulous wine. The atmosphere and service was impeccable.

we are looking forward to many more visits.

If you are planning to eat at THE LEBANESE DINER then I would advise you to go when you are really hungry because it’s a real treat. I ate there last Saturday and had a fantastic meal. I would have to recommend the Shish taouk barbequed chicken it was honestly it’s the best I have ever tried followed by a glass of white wine, the wine was so fantastic and a perfect accompaniment to our food. The bill came to about £20 per head, which is amazingly great value for money. If I lived in Kensington I would be a regular. I cannot wait for my next trip to London to come back and try the other items on the menu which also looked amazing. Overall if our experience is anything to go by I can thoroughly recommend this restaurant, for both lunch and dinner it is a culinary delight!

I went there last night with my friends, great food, generous portions and wonderful knowlegable service. The mezza starters are the best i have had in long a time, it was tasty and fresh, The wine was so nice that we had to order another bottle. Well worth the money! The only downside was that was I too full to eat any more. I am definately going back

Excellent authentic Lebanese food.

I took my parents to this restaurant last week, they were on holiday, My dad is very fussy about where he eats.

They usually eat in top restaurants, so my dad is tough to please.

anyway I begged him to try the food at least, he had a few starters(tabouleh and fatoush followed by grilled aubergine, hommous) and Lebanese wine Ksara, which was astoundingly different and underrated, I did not realise the Lebanon produces such wines.

I'm happy to say that my dad was more than impressed - excellent, genuine tasty food, which was cooked with care and attention. The service was attentive and friendly without being overbearing and prices just right.

I'm not usually a person who writes restaurant reviews on websites, but this was the best I have visited in quite some time, so felt that it was only right that I should.

I'll be back again, and would recommend this to everyone to try.

Seven friends and I visited The Lebanese Diner last Saturday for dinner. The staff were so friendly and helpful, truly delightful people and the food was fantastic, beautifully cooked and presented, We started with the starters Hoummmous Tabouleh Moutabal (traditional Lebanese flat bread) followed by the main course Shish taouk (slow cooked chicken cubes) and lovely Lebanese wine, then finished with baklawa sweets its amazing!)

The decor and ambience of the restaurant set off the authentic lebanese feel. Overall an outstanding evening I will defiantly be returning in the very near future. 10 out of 10!

In response to the review complaining about the Mousaka, I would like to add and say I am a regular customer at The Lebanese Diner for the last six month, I am a vegetarian and eat their mousakaa & Green beans all the time, I am grateful that they have a lot of vegetarian food, I advise the customer to read the BIG V V V V sign next to every dish next time.

How can this customer expect meat in a dish which has a "V" sign next to it! Also Lebanese food does not contain bechamel sauce perhaps she or he in the wrong place! I know that north African do make it with meat, but their it says in big letter Lebanese.

Last I advise (her or him) to go back with open minded and try it again.

I went there for lunch yesterday and it was a rather bad experience.

They had forgotten to change the dish of the day on the board, which resulted in me having a dish I had not ordered. And I was quite disappointed by their moussaka, which is more a sauce than a dish, without meet or bechamel...

I would definitely not recommand this place.

We went there to take advantage of the lunch offer, The service was good and the food is great, the Lebanese wine exceptional and fantastic value at £19 and one of the best wines I've had in while!
