"You’re a few dates in and it’s taking every fibre of your being not to offer up the right side of your bed at the casual mention of their lease ending next month. Play it cool. Book a couple of counter seats at this casual but impressive Lebanese spot in Marylebone. Impress them with your ordering—get the crisp fattoush salad, creamy hummus topped with glossy pieces of beef, and some of London’s best falafel. And avoid any talk of moving in until you see how they react to splitting osmaliyeh for dessert." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak
