    Very drastic experience. I bought food and when reached home opened the boxes and food was very smelly and stale. Rice were too sticky and bad smell can be felt. When I called to make a complaint staff didn’t listen to it and hanged the phone up. I tried four times but they didn’t listen to me only told me to bring the food back to their shop. Very bad customer service and unhygienic stale food. Council should visit this business seal it as they are selling stale food to people. I will never visit this restaurant again. I wish I could give zero star or minus marks to them.

    Food are so expensive for the portion size. We had to wait 45 minutes for our order to get ready as we saw many other people who ordered after us getting for their food. This place is a takeaway place which shouldn’t be that expensive per portion but we felt that they cheated in their portion. We had a mixed grill with chips and it is supposed to have a good amount of meat in it but we were surprised when we arrived home that they put a little bit of meat and cut it in small pieces to cheat their customers and that was for 14.50 and a big size of kofta for 8.49 pound again very little amount of meat even the chicken wings there were 7 wings for 4.50. We really were upset with the food portion compared to prices and don’t advise anyone to waste their money here there is other restaurants which offer better portion and better quality for the same price.

    Numerous time walking pass by this kebab place, always a long queue. So today we decide to try. Firstly it is cash only. £7 for a chicken wrap, the chicken is very tender, you can taste the flame in the wrap, and the garnish put inside the wrap also tastes very good. All in all a good wrap, but I don't think it is exceptional. I would happily come back again though.

    Ordered a lamb kebab and it took a significant amount of time to arrive, despite other customers receiving their orders very quickly. Not sure why, as the place wasn't that busy early in the evening. Kebab was a good size, albeit lacking some flavour. The lamb was tender but didn't have much flavour.

    A wonderful meal indeed. Huge portion for the price. Smoky meat seasoned with Mediterranean spices, grilled over charcoal, and doused in various sauces, out of this world! But because of the hype (from social media), I refuse to wait in the queue. The need for a gatekeeper here is real, LOL

    Really tasty halal food. There was a queue outside of 10 customers. Can be quite busy at times and there is no eat in option, only takeaway! Everyone ordered the half chicken with either chips or rice (Most popular dish). Definitely good value for money and the chicken is the best grilled chicken I've had. 👍

    Good food and very filling however they need a better way to order and give food. The ordering is literally done by someone by the door taking orders. The queue is a mess and just a big group of people squeezing through each other. A simple ticket number system would do the trick. They only accept cash sadly. Parking is hard and there's nowhere to sit and eat. If they simply allowed you to order online and used a ticket system to collect, it'd resolve the queue. A card machine would be great. The food otherwise was lovely and filling and as expected of a place like this... The atmosphere, people and type of customers, perhaps not so much.

    Half chicken with spicy rice is amazing. Come from far away for this and is always worth it. Quarter pounder also nice n juicy. Chicken wrap decent also. Great prices for the taste.

    This place is always so busy...the taste and quality of food is the reason for this. The chicken and lamb is of high quality and really tender. Highly recommend you try this place if in the area.

    The spicy rice is delightful! Sampled the half chicken but would opt for the chicken shish next time. It's take out, cash only and very reasonably priced.

    A few days ago I placed an order on the phone for collection and I was told to come in 20 mins and my order will be ready. I went to collect my food and the guy said I don't know what you're talking about. I clearly said you told me my food will be ready in 20 mins so where's my order? He said I don't know about any order. At this point I was very disappointed and I gave him my order again and the guy was being very RUDE! I waited another 1/2 n hour for my food. Secondly he said to me cash only and I asked him you didn't say that before or its not stated in his shop. When i took my food home the food was freezing cold, wasn't fresh and cost too much. A very overrated place big queues outside waiting at least 1/2 n hr. Would definitely not recommend this place at all! Big waste of time! Over priced! DO NOT GO HERE EVEN BY MISTAKE!!!

    Food is really good, neighbourhood not that much. The fact that you should wait outside, puts me off plus there's a lot of people smoking drugs which makes your appetite down. The staff is pretty kind. Another thing to know is that you cannot pay with card, cash only.

    10/10 for food taste, never had a problem with the flavour &taste. Generally speaking, quick efficient service. This time they gave me the wrong order and then I had to come back (as they don't do delivery), and wait another 15 minutes for another one, when I was told it would be ready as soon as I got there to swap. Check your order before you leave, the one time I was the one to collect the order and forgot to check! 😔

    One of the best Lebanese places I've been to in London. Good flavours in the half chicken and spicy rice. The lamb shish wasn't tough and the sauces just brought everything together. This will be my new regular now.

    Just a takeaway, not sit down dining but the best grilled chicken. It has a charcoal smell and the smell of this food lingers until later. Super delicious chicken and rice and their orange sauce is soooooo good. Better than any other sauces. The service is good and fast and to the point. Always queues here

    Food taste great but need to fix up on customer service. You make a phone order to collect and when you get there it either isn't done or they say they didn't get the order, which is a let down.

  • 1/5 Rey A. 1 month ago on Google • 19 reviews New
    This place was a go to. But since they become popular service and food quality has gone down. I noticed everyone checks their takeaway before taking food as this place is used to misplacing orders or some orders are missing oncr you get home. They also pretend to take phone orders but really they do not take it and just say come down, once you go there they do not have a clue about your order and start making it while you stand in the cold. They have done this with many customers now

  • 5/5 Rubel A. 1 month ago on Google • 14 reviews New
    Always excellent never and a bad meal. I visit this place on average 2 to 3 times a month. The Lamb sharawma is the best I ever tasted sadly its only available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays

    the food here is sublime. It’s the best Lebanese food here in London. It explains why there’s always a queue at the door. However they need to sort out their cust service. There’s no orderly queue and people just yell out their orders hoping it’s been noted & food takes a while to come out and it’s a game of luck if ur order is correct. This needs to be sorted out, surely u can’t run a serious business like its a food cart

    Driving down the A2 on the Old Kent Road late on a Sat night looking for something highly rated and open on Google Maps restaurants list, we found this place with a 4.5 and nearly 2000 reviews, which is rare, so had to try it... the comments were going on about the half chicken and chips, and they were right crispy flavoursome boneless chicken on a bed of super crispy chips, and nice sauce and salad, this place fits the reputation... the lamb cubes wrap was okay, average, and its an interesting area with fights breaking out at the Hispanic place further up, and a group of friendly yardies crowding the grill, it was very busy with big line of people waiting to order but service was quick, as soon as I ordered my food had come out in around 5mins. So it is a well known busy place, and recommend it if your nearby.

  • 5/5 Antonio C. 6 months ago on Google
    A real gem of a place for grilled chicken and other meat - you don't get better than this. Prices are also extremely good, so they offer amazing value for money and excellence all round. The constant queue of customers outside speaks for itself. I have been here many many times before and not once have I been disappointed. If you go once, you'll inevitably find yourself back over and over again! Great work Lebanese Grill

  • 5/5 John S P E G. 1 year ago on Google
    What a place to eat This is one of the most amazing places that I have been in, in London, my friend took me there for a surprise, and I have to say that this is some of the most delicious food that I have tasted. I have not eaten Lebanese food before, and I was amazed at the taste of this food. I will certainly be recommending this restaurant to all that I know. Plus I will most definitely be returning to have dinner there once again very shortly. I was treated with utter respect from all in this restaurant from others patrons to the amazing staff, who work tirelessly to get you seated to getting your food on the table asap. I would recommend this place to all, and cannot think too highly of all who work there. Thank you for an amazing evening John

    I’ve been wanting to try food from here for a while so when I was in the area I couldn’t miss the opportunity. Got the half chicken and spicy rice and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. I’m not usually a fan of rice when eating out but this was delicious with the chilli & garlic sauce. The chicken was full of flavour and delicious, I couldn’t fault it. It’s cash only but there’s a cash machine a few steps away

    Ordered the half chicken with chips and it tasted amazing! One of the best places I had! Definitely coming here again ,can recommend it to anyone!!

  • 4/5 Adam W. 1 year ago on Google
    Like many others I highly recommend ordering the half chicken with spicy rice. Cheap yet delicious. Absolutely full of flavour.

  • 5/5 Al H. 1 year ago on Google
    If you know about grilled chicken then you should know about this place. I travel over an hour to come here after midnight to get the famous half chicken and chips or rice when available. Salad and sauce always. I don’t know what it is but the way the chicken is served and the sauce that’s on top is just something else. The flavours that come out of the box is different. Trust me give this place a go you won’t be disappointed. Only takeaway no place to dine in. Still not complaining. Love it!!!
