"We’re going to level with you, Fairuz is truly a great dinner option at any time of day. But 5pm does make the intimate cave-like nooks and hidden-away back corners feel even more charming. The menu at this family-run spot in Marylebone is a mix of classic Lebanese dishes, but they’re a cut above. Creamy aubergine fatteh and tangy, nutty kibbeh b’laban—a minced lamb-stuffed ball in a garlicky yoghurt sauce—should both be on your table. This spot is the epitome of a Great Little Place, and coming at 5pm you get the feeling that you’re in on one of London’s tastiest secrets. " - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, jake missing
