"By 7pm, Beirut Knightsbridge turns into a buzzy, chatter-filled space where meat-topped hummus should be ordered in threes, and crispy arayes should be dipped straight into it. As well as the mezze, we’re fans of the lamb kabseh—a peppery rice dish with soft aubergine and tender lamb chunks—as well as their changing Lebanese specials like the tangy kibbeh bil laban. We’ve even been here when loud work dinners take up half of the restaurant—and we still had a good time." - rianne shlebak
