Lebnani is an everyday Lebanese restaurant inspired by the culture of Beirut with a menu of traditional mezze and charcoal grills all designed for sharing. We use fresh and seasonally inspired ingredients sourced locally to create a new kind of Beirut Soul Food.
Our restaurant is a family sharing ideas and inspiration, all under the guidance of Chef Jad Youssef. Jad was raised in a Lebanese family in Beirut, where he grasped from an early age the significance in life of good quality food. During his childhood, he observed his mother crafting traditional, authentic dishes, always from scratch.
Jad an alum of Celebrity Master Chef UK, is celebrated as one of the foremost experts on Lebanese food for his reverence for traditional dishes while making the cuisine relevant to the current dining landscape.

The Observer's Jay Rayner - “It is food that makes you feel like you are engaged in an exercise of profound self-care. It’s “me time” in a succession of beautifully dressed plates.”

We had the festive menu which included a whole chicken. It was delicious, plentiful and wonderful to have new dishes to try. Particularly loved the freekeh and the brownie was to die for. Definitely recommend.

Can’t fault the food! We will 100% be back or order from there again, so fresh and tasty! Unfortunately the tables were really cramped together and the service was ok but they just wanted us in, eat and out - couldn’t 100% relax as the staff were just watching over everyone ready to swipe plates :/

Found the food rather bland, chicken wrap had almost as much lettuce in it as the salad which was just too much and not very much chicken Hummus was also bland and the bright purple pickled turnip was flavourless! Asked if would like some olives when we first sat down which I thought was a nice touch - only then to find an additional £11 on the bill!!! Not very impressed at all Service was good however
Lebnani RestaurantResponded on December 2, 2024
Dear Rob, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are surprised by your comments, as they do not reflect the quality we aim to provide. Our chicken wraps are a customer favourite, known for their great value and flavourful fillings. We take care to ensure the chicken is generously portioned. Our creamy hummus, it's made in-house with only the finest ingredients and is widely praised for its smooth, creamy texture and rich flavour. As for the olives, they are clearly listed on our menu at £3.95, and they are marinated in house to be slightly salty, citrusy and sour, as olives should be. The claim that you were charged £11 for olives is not accurate. While we appreciate your positive comment on the service, we feel it’s important to clarify these points regarding the food and pricing.

Love this place, can’t fault the food but this is the first time I’ve eaten in of an evening. Usually do lunches or take aways. Firstly, too many servers. Got asked within minutes of sitting down what we were having. I think we had to ask them to come back about 3 times as different servers wanting a drink order within minutes. Ordered drinks, leave us to look at the menu and catch up. Again, pressure to order very quickly, difficult as mezze is bits and bobs and we were both deciding. Again, sending away servers as we weren’t ready. In the end we decided a main on the spot so they would leave us in peace. Table then too small for what we had ordered, which was the recommended amount. Juggling plates while we shared. Food was amazing as always! Then 90 minutes in, told we had to vacate our table as there were people waiting to sit there, right behind us. Awkward. Paid and left. Think I’ll swervefor eating in as it’s not relaxing at all, and the pressure is on to order, eat and leave. Repaired to The Bell for a nice ambience.
