I too strongly recommend a visit to this place. I've tried a number or Lebanese/Turkish restaurants and this has to be one of the finest.

The food was fresh, scrumptious, affordable and the service was spot on. As previously stated, staff were indeed attentive and courteous and gave us space unlike some local restaurants!

If you're a meat lover this place is a must.

I visited with my family (a total of 6 people) Service was friendly and efficient. The startes were tasty and flavoursome, however, the mains were a complete let down. The Lamb Sherwama was completely dry and contained no flavour. I was very let down by this as reading some of the reviews had built up my expectations. I have had much better for much less on the Edgware road!

The mix platter was £16 and contained 9 cubed pieces of chiken and kebabs.

The breads were cold and did not taste fresh as they should.

Overall a very disheartening experience, will not be re-visiting

I highly recommend this place.

The food was delicious and beautifully presented. I loved that each dish was accompanied with colourful vegetables and salads. The aubergine humus with pomegranate seeds and the lamb dishes were especially wonderful.

The set meals are good value for money, but I recommend sharing a few dishes between your party so you get to try a little bit of each!

Service was wonderful. The staff had good knowledge of the food and were very courteous and attentive. Bearing in mind we were basically the only customers there however so this may change at busy times.

The location is awful to get to unless you live on Canary Wharf. I printed out a map from google but it was totally useless and I had to ring the restaurant to get directions. The staff however came out to find us and took us back to the restaurant! (It happened to be located on the other side of the building that faces the street its meant to be on!)

Once you get there it is a lovely place. Swanky interior with a glass front that allows you a beautiful view of the waterfront.

If you go, be sure to print out the map on their website and take their phone number with you!

6 of us were there last night, having read reviews here and elsewhere, and wanting to celebrate a few events.

We had the Moutabal Baba Chanouj (which was beautifully smokey set off nicely with a few pomegranate seeds), Hommos, Kibbeh, Soujok, Samaka Harra, and Byblos Arayes as our hot and cold mixed mezes. These pleased everybody, considering one hadn’t eaten this type of cuisine before. Mains were a couple of Meshukal Meshwi’s and two Roast shanks of lamb’s, as well as some other bits. Again, everybody every satisfied by their choice and the shanks were beatuftiful I’m told, as was the Meshukal Meshwi I can vouch for. White wine we had the Ksara White Blancs Blanc De Blancs, Bekaa Valley, Lebanon, which set the meal of famously.

After this banquet, there was only just enough room for one of us to have desserts and he was dispirited there was only Baklawa left, having previously set eyes upon the Ossmallieh. To make up for the disappointment, we were treated to a complimentary fruit platter, of which the freshness and overall conclusion to the night could not have been received more gratefully.

We’d all recommend Byblos Harbour and having travelled two hours to get there - suggest that if you like a city waterfront venue with top Lebanese cuisine and friendly staff - do so too!

My boyfriend and I went there and I wish they were a lot more restaurants like this one in London.

The food was great. My favourite was the houmous with the pieces of marinated lamb. The portions were generous. So by the end of the evening my boyfriend and I were really full.

The atmosphere was cosy, and the decor is relaxing. The service was very good and we were suprised by the bill as it was very reasonable.

We will defenitely go back.
