    Hands down the best Lebanese food I've had.Thought I had tasted the beat before coming here but I was proven wrong. The mixed grill was amazing, the grilled meat was very juicy and fresh. The presentation of the baklava was very modern and tasted even better. You can tell it is fresh when the pastry is crispy and the nuts are, well, nutty! Would recommend to anyone searching for good food in London. Will return when I'm back n town. Oh and did I mention that the staff were extremely friendly!

    This was our first visit to a Lebanese restaurant which is family run where the friendly owner will spend time with you to go through the menu and explain about the food. . The food was amazing all fresh, hot and cold depending on what you ordered. The service was excellent too with friendly attentive staff. We'll definitely be back next time we're in London & if your in London I can highly recommend this amazing restaurant.

    Food is good but wouldn’t say out of the world. One thing we like is that it was made out of fresh ingredients esp tomatoes. No canned tomatoes were used. The dish description said minced lamb with tomato sauce etc but it was actually lamb seek. I was expecting it to be more kheema ( minced meat) kind of dish. Service - was prompt and good. Cecilia was very cordial. Value for money - one starter and one main dish was £30 as they charge some good 13% service tax! No accompaniments are offered before or after. Note sure why but stomach felt quiet heavy after the meal. We couldn’t go for another dish after that.

    I really enjoyed their Lebanese food. I took the Lebanese salade as a starter and the mixed grill as main dish. The staff was very nice and friendly

    By far the best Lebanese food in London!! I come here frequently and every time my friends and I have the best experience. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu; everything is delicious, fresh, and authentic. Not to mention the presentation is stunning!! The atmosphere is also really nice, you feel at home and relaxed when you are here. Overall, the food is amazing, the staff is SO friendly, and the location is very accessible! Doesn't get better than this if you ask me! I will never stop recommending this restaurant to my friends and family.

    Could not have been better. The food has such rich flavours, I was truly blown away. On top of that, the staff could not have been nicer. If you ever have the opportunity to eat here, do not hesitate, you will not be disappointed. I just let the waiter decide the combination for me. Was just perfect

    Chamisse is a lovely Lebanese restaurant with authentic food and a homey atmosphere. I regularly visit with friends and family, and the experience never disappoints. The owner is great, I recommend 100%

    We visited this place on the last night of our London trip. Everything looked and tasted fresh, delicious and authentic to the best standards of Middle Eastern cuisine. Great service and not very crowded. Hoping to come back and sample more dishes on my next visit to London.

    The only Lebanese restaurant we order from in London, whenever we need office catering! The best homemade and traditional Mezzes, sandwiches, finger food and sharing salads such as Fatush and Taboule, including a large variety of vegan options. Thank you!!

  • 5/5 L 2 years ago on Google
    This is a lovely restaurant with really friendly and polite staff. Food was great and portion size was just right! It’s a nice place for a friends to eat together and just chat. Not overly crowded or busy and reasonably priced. I really enjoyed this and would definitely come again. No service charge added to the bill which we definitely chose to tip.

    Perfect meal! Excellent 👌. Also at a reasonable noise level I could easily talk to my wife throughout the meal which is not always the case in restaurants. I bought a bottle of Lebanese wine which went very well with the food. Portions are generous

  • 3/5 Mayra N. 5 months ago on Google
    The food here is decent. It was quite pricey though with a high service fee that you need to be wary of before visiting. While our appetizers - Moutabal and Soujok - arrived promptly, our wait for the Shish Taouk meal was quite long - almost a 40-50 minute wait, which hampered the experience a bit. Appetizers were great, and the shish taouk was nice but not amazing. Ambience was also cosy.

    We ate outside, which was loud but perfect for us given covid cautions. Someone noted they do add 12.5% for gratuity, so be prepared. The food was well seasoned and fresh. I don't recommend the tabouleh, which was all parsley, no coucous. The black eggplant starter was really good. They gave us a piece of baklava at the end. On the expensive side but enjoyable.

    I recently dined at a Lebanese restaurant in East Central London, and the experience was exceptional. The warm ambiance, coupled with the aromatic flavors of traditional Lebanese cuisine, created a delightful dining atmosphere. The mezze platter showcased a variety of authentic dishes, each bursting with distinct flavors. The attentive staff added to the overall positive impression, making it a memorable dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant for those seeking a taste of Lebanon in the heart of London.

    Honestly, the only good food I’ve had in London. I came here my first time to London and had to make a trip back. There is limited seating inside so make sure to make reservations ahead of time. I got the full meat platter with chip and also the cheese empanada. Everything is SO well cooked and seasoned. I am so happy to finally have decent food that isn’t salty or dry. Will definitely be back each time I visit London!!!

    We visited the restaurant late around 7 pm , so we were the only People in the restaurant. We could hear some music but it was so quiet and we couldn't hear it well , place is calm , cheerful, our host was nice man who helped us with the options, food was fresh, fast and so tasty. Lentil soup was also so tasty. After he brought us complimentary Turkish sweets which were delicious. Paid around 55 GBP for 2 persons including main dish , soup and drink. You can pay cash or visa. Toilets downstairs nice and clean. Chef didn't say hello to us when he went in and out couple of times and wasn't even making eye contact and even didn't answer us when we thanked him for the nice food but still overall enjoyable restaurant.

    Great dining experience. Everything was nice here - food, service and atmosphere. All dishes we ordered were tasty. My favourite was Lebanese spicy sausage in tomato sauce (appetiser) and lamb cutlets (mains).

  • 5/5 Friederike K. 2 years ago on Google
    Awfully delicious food. The food was so tasty and yummy. I highly recommend this place and I will send lovely greetings to the wonderful service! It was a pleasure and looking forward to the next visit.

  • 5/5 Ash 2 years ago on Google
    Sublime food and impeccable service! We opted for a few different dishes and sides (pictured) all of which did not disappoint. Firstly, the meat across all dishes was fresh and cooked perfectly. I have historically found that with a mixed grill the meat can be somewhat dry - not in this instance! I cannot rate each meat highly enough, simply sublime! The additional lamb dish we had was equally fantastic. Secondly, the starters/sides were all fantastic; from the rice, to the hummus. The Tabouli is mentioned in its own right as it too was sublime and is certainly the best we have had in London. The service was fantastic and I commend all the staff on their friendly and helpful approach. Lastly, it was great value for money. I highly recommend a visit guys, you won’t be disappointed.

    Gorgeous food and wonderful staff. We don’t live locally but we love it so much that we happily make the journey down to Chamisse. The staff always remember us and give my partner and I the warmest welcome. Food portions are generous and always served hot and fresh. For authentic Lebanese cuisine look no further!

    I've been yesterday evening for dinner here with my family. It was an amazing experience the foods delicious, services quick and precise. The staff was so lovely and ready to suggest and help with the amazing options they offered. I've been in other Lebanese restaurants but this is definitely an hidden gem in the city, I'll definitely come back and recommend it to others. An amazing experience, thank you! 😊

  • 2/5 Rafia N. 2 years ago on Google
    Very average, could’ve been better specially the spinach/cheese pastries were soggy & not how it should be.. the best thing about the restaurant was very very friendly & polite staff.

  • 5/5 Lorenzo B. 2 years ago on Google
    This restaurant is simply awesome. Rabih is a real gentleman, kind and polite. The food is delicious, both savoury and sweet recipes. I suggest various lamb based plates and the incredible Baklava. Hope to come here again soon!! Congrats from Italy.

    If you want an authentic Lebanese culinary experience in London, this is the restaurant to visit. Staff are professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Everything is made from scratch so tasty, homemade cuisine is guaranteed. The grilled selection is fresh and plentiful. The added bonus is that they are family friendly restaurant and off high quality food that is great value for money. There is a strong possibility that you will become a regular customer once you have tried Chamisse.

  • 5/5 Normän N. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing: Food. Service. Ambiente. Experience. Just has to be on your list of places to go and support. No excuses. It's healthy, full of flavours and a taste pallet you'll never forget. Try the Za'atar Flatbread. Try the filled wine leaves, try the hommos and try the tabboule. Grab 2-5 friends and just order everything you might possibly want to try. You won't regret it. And don't forget to thank me later ;)

  • 5/5 Kwan K. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food and great service from the staff. As I was not familiar with Lebanese cuisine, I asked one of the staff to order everything for me and every single dish was amazing with detailed description everytime he served the food. Highly recommend to people who want to try fantastic Middle Eastern food.
