Maroush II

The best Lebanese restaurant in London in my opinion. Great food, like if you were in Lebanon, great service, maitres D Shadi and Tony embody the true Lebanese hospitality. The prices offer great value for what you get. Jim Z

Fatoush salad, eggplant dip, house-​made pita bread, chicken shwerma, falafel and complimentary baklava with fruit delighted us. The pomegranate seeds sprinkled on the dip and salad added a special fresh flavor. I would love to eat here again.

There are so many Maroush restaurants in the area! Food was good, although slightly overpriced. Decent experience overall.

I took some visitors here based on all the great Unilocal reviews, and we were not disappointed! There are certainly some bizarre aspects to this restaurant, such as the giant bowl of uncut veggies sitting on the table when you arrive, but we saw other people digging in so we did the same! We tried a little bit of almost everything on the menu, but the Hommos Shawarma, Kibbeh, Fattet Hommos B’laban, and Mixed Grill were table favorites. The pita bread was also very fresh and toasty, and the waiters kept our bread plates full. After the meal we were served a corresponding plate of uncut fresh fruit and some little pastries, which were delightful. A must try if you are in the area and craving good Lebanese food.

Although I’m currently living in America, when ever I’m here this by far is my no1 spot!

Maroush is the closest to home cooked food, which is the best compliment I can bestow. The ambience is great and the staff are extremely friendly. It may not be cheap, but the quality is simply the best for Lebanese food.

I come here once a month and I believe they have the best lambs shawarma in London! I make them put extra sauce on it with pickles and tomatoes and sweet peppers. Today I managed to eat three but my record is for four:) are usually have it with mint tea tea which is very fitting! At the end of the meal you will be served some fruit and some sweet cakes which I find wonderful. I have also eaten other things here which are also nice but the lambs schwarma is definitively the best!

We were craving lebanese food. We based our decision on both Unilocal and Tripadvisor reviews. While our entire experience wasn’t the best because of a large family that came into dine, we made the best of it. Given some of the issues trying to put a family in a room that we were dining in, the servers realized the issue, put us in a different room and made our experience more than anything we would have ever asked for due to the issues. We just wanted to sit in a different room because of the obnoxious family. There was about 15 of them, so I’ll let you think of what we went through.
The staff is amazing from start to finish. Very friendly individuals, all of them. The location is very convenient being close to Harrods and in a very boutiquey shopping area. I ordered Shish Tawok and it was supurb. The flavor was incredible. My partner ordered the Chicken Shawerma and was also very impressed with the flavor. We both expected that our orders would be over a bed of rice, but it didn’t matter. It was delicious.
Given the mixup with the family the staff went out of their way to make sure we were happy. They brought us a fruit tray, which normally I don’t eat fruit, but this was definitely the best fruit we’ve ever tasted. Very fresh. It was almost like it wasn’t real because of how fresh and delicious it was. They then brought us out ice cream, which was also some of the best homemade ice cream we’ve ever had. Lastly, to cap it off they brought us mint tea. I have to say, for staff trying to ensure the rest of our experience was perfect, they didn’t an amazing job. They went way out of their way. Because of this, we will be back soon. What a great place. I highly recommend it to those who love middle eastern food.

Found this place on my way to Notting Hills. Did not expect much as it was at 1:00 am, but the food was of superb, gourmet-​level quality.
A must try and worth it to visit during the day also.

Great place in a perfect location just behind Harrods.
Lots of choice for veggies and vegans and surprisingly cheap, especially given the location.
Would definitely go back.

Get the check, a 4pound «service charge» for each person. I ask what this is for and I’m told «for the seats». I’m sorry it’s a service charge to sit down?
The food here is delicious if you know what to order. Staff won’t help, they just bark «what do you want?» And will leave you alone until you ask for a check. No water, no offer of coffee or anything else.
Giant bowl of un-​cut raw vegetables? Including whole tomatoes. Sure why not.
Enough fruit for 6 people after the meal? Ok.
Just so confusing. Felt like they wanted us to leave, yet we sat there for 20 minutes after eating and no one said anything. but hey the food is good so enjoy.

Good food, good service, good staff.

We walked in as I was familiar with this place. We were fresh off the plane and in need of good quality london dining in contrary to the worst airplane food experience in my lifetime on my favorite carrier — Delta.
Was a little worried about our choice as we chose the dining room and not the bar casual area. The wait was long but only one server greeter and bartender all rolled in one. But the food came and we were pleased.
We had chicken wings for my son, mixed grill to share, hummus and falafel appetizers. See the pictures.

This place has too many doors to enter through causing confusion about who to ask for a table. We were seated at what appeared to be the last table which was the least desirable because the two seats were not across from each other (it was stuffed in a corner) and which otherwise would have blocked the main aisle. We later saw there were more tables in an adjacent room which were not offered to us.
The waitstaff seemed impatient and almost annoyed at our non-​local presence, however the ordering process went smoothly and our meal came out quickly. We were never again visited by our waiter but were able to flag down one of the food runners to have our bill settled at the appropriate time.
Overall I would say the quality was about average for a middle eastern restaurant compared to those back in the States, especially considering the prices.
Grilled cheese app — a bit dry but tasty
Green salad — Very colorful and tasty. We were led to believe the salad portions were large but in our case it was barely enough for two to taste.
Babaganoush — best part of the meal — you gotta order this
Fresh pita bread — they were dryer than I hoped for — if they were indeed fresh as opposed to just reheated. Passable.
Lamb shwarma wrap — heavily flavored which was helpful in taming the gaminess of the lamb, but I wasn’t expecting the serious amount of cinnamon. Live and learn.
Chicken breast wrap — tasty although it didn’t appear to be 100% chicken breast
Lebanese Coffee — I have never had this before but assumed it would be similar to Turkish or Greek coffee and I wasn’t disappointed. Definitely an acquired taste.
Plate of mini backlava and a plate of fruit — gratis and a nice unexpected treat, however our jaws dropped when we saw the much nicer fruit plate given to a nearby table.

My chicken shawerma was phenomenally good. I almost ordered a second just to taste it. Wasn’t even hungry anymore.
While I was sitting there eating mine, the next 3 or 4 people ordered it. I guess it’s a specialty. I’m not surprised.
Babaganoush was very good.
I liked the vibe. Owners and crew were warm, energetic, busy.

Best meal we’ve had in London, which has a reputation for terrible food. The food here, however, was exceptional. Amazing flavour, and okay on price. The service was quick and polite.
We had the Business Sampler Plate between the 2 of us and it was a nice amount of food for a light dinner.

I came here after reading about it on Unilocal,and wow was Unilocal right! This is some of the best Lebanese food I’ve ever tasted, every bite was absolutely bursting with flavor!
I had the baba ganoush and the mixed grill, both exceeded my expectations. I also had a beer with my meal, a Lebanese brand, and it was really good.
I’ll definitely be back!

After a late night partying in London, this is where people end up for some late night food.
You can order all the usual shawarma wraps and they have good hummus.
Avoid the cabs they recommend outside, just catch a black cap its cheaper

Great food. Wonderful staff. Reasonable prices. Open til very late. I went there on my first night in London… Woke up at 2:00am with jet lag… Got there around 2:30 and it was packed… The food was amazing and the staff were awesome… By the time I left there to go back to my hotel it was around 3:30am and more customers kept coming.
Bottom line: Strongly recommended.

Boy, this place has some really, really good food. Coming from a Lebanese family with many great cooks, I am pretty picky when it comes to Middle Eastern fare. I can confidently say that aside from home, this is the best Middle Eastern/​Lebanese food I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying.
Service is amazingly attentive. Prices are reasonable. Food is outstanding.
Definitely order:
— hummus (or hommos)
— the spicy Lebanese salad (or Marroush salad if you don’t like spicy)
— shish taouk — amazingly tender chicken skewers served with garlic sauce
— lamb shawarma — enough said
— kafta khosh-​khash — minced lamb skewers with amazing sauce and onions
I wish I had more room to try more because I’m sure you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. They also give you a plate of complimentary fruit and dessert when you finish.
Tip: definitely order dishes to share (family style)

Super libanesische Küche. Frisch, köstlich, cool. Ein Muss in London.
