Joury Knightsbridge

I simply can say,,, This gathering place stands out so highly among other places in London...

It is a place where you can meet your pals, sample the delicious food, and enjoy the real middle eastern hospitality.

I am a journalist, I travelled across the middle east, I tried the food in so many places over there, I honestly can say there is not a place in London that serves good food and make you feel as welcome as this place.

Best of Luck Joury

This by far has to be the worst Lebanese food I have had in London.

The time we spent time there, me and my partner witnessed about 10 people come in and leave out within the first 7 minutes because of poor service.

The music was terrible and the food even worse. The shish tawouk came pinkish and all that i could taste was the heavy sauce the chicken was drenched in. The fattoush was as terrible as it tasted nothing like fattoush.

The only semi decent thing was the decor.

I would not recommend anyone go there as it is a total waste of money.

We went to Joury on Sunday. I have not had many expectations except of having decent size wrap with meat i.e. shawarma. The price of £5.50 per wrap appeared to be reasonable for a wrap with meat but under priced for this area. Nevertheless, we have decided to give it a go. However:

1) Service - our waiter was not very attentive. No problem with that, we have not been expecting too much of them anyway.

2) Menu - unless you come from this part of the world, you would not be able to figure the menu out. Of course, shawarma or falafel is common dish in London but most of the dishes on the menu did not have basic description. Still, you can live with this.

3) Food - now, this is something interesting. Food was good i.e. eatable BUT hugely overpriced for the size! The wraps, which can easily be mistaken for main courses, are much smaller than regular samosas from Camden market (at £1). I mean these are starters for an average person. Fair enough, this is Knightsbridge but still.

4) Drinks - BIG disappointment! I have ordered a Lebanese beer at £3.95! Wow, I thought, this must be good beer and I was looking forward to have a nice pint of beer. Well, all I got was ...a GLASS! I was furious believe me!

5) cover charge - £1 per person -??? . This charge is for ...a seat. I truly felt I was being mugged …by a WAITER I have been living in London for over 7 years, travelled half of the world but £1 for seating is something I have never experienced before. Only Ryanair is better at inventing similar extortionate fees.

Verdict: NEVER EVER AGAIN!!! HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT.

I just love this restaurant.

The food was amazing, it's one of those places where you can pick any food off the menu, and you can be sure it will be good.

The athmosphere also was just amazing, the decorations very real looking and the service was quite good, except we had to go ask for more coal for our shisha and then our bill. But who cares?

Stop complaining about the somewhat high prices. It's opposite to Harrods, people! That's where all the rich people who wear Louis Vuitton and Emporio Armani go shopping.

If you can't appreciate how amazingly the shisha was displayed, served and how good it was, then just go to McDonald's where you belong.
