"Ô Gourmet Libanais is located in a soulless part of Battersea (right off the humongous Wandsworth roundabout) that feels far from wholesome, but look past the towering glass new build it’s in and you’ll find a whole lot of neighbourhood charm. Locals pour into the warm room, with its tiled floors and glowing mosaic lamps, ready for smoky moutabal dips, chewy lahem-bil’ajeen, and citrussy fattoush salads. It’s the kind of place you pop into midweek, with no reservation and a big appetite. Order the special (it’s pretty much always a lamb kabseh) and some mezze, and be in and out in under 90 minutes." - Rianne Shlebak
