"Ishbilia has been around for more than 20 years, serving Harrods shoppers and Knightsbridge locals—and their house staff—traditional Lebanese dishes in a relaxed, white tablecloth setting. It’s a real mixed bag here: old friends catching up over creamy hummus kawarmah, families with children who are quietly fighting over fries while the adults put their efforts into a lamb maklouba special, and people who have walked in right off the street, following the smell of grilled chicken. Although it can sometimes take a little while to flag down a waiter, that’s also part of the charm." - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, jake missing
