Al Arez

Fantastic Lebanese restaurant with authentic food and great atmosphere. Everything we ordered was fresh, full of flavor, and clearly made with care. The mezze were excellent, the grilled dishes were perfectly cooked, and the portions were generous. Service was friendly, efficient, and genuinely welcoming without being overbearing. You feel looked after from the moment you walk in. Clean place, warm vibe, and real Lebanese taste—not watered down. Definitely a place worth coming back to, whether for a quick meal or a relaxed dinner with family or friends.

Lovely experience dining and great customer service. Atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Food was served swiftly fresh off the oven. We got the platter was two which was very filling. The reason for 4 stars on food, on a personal preference, was the level of spice and flavour on the meat was quite simple. We were also given sweet bakhlawa on the house which was delicious 😋😋😋

Absolutely fantastic Lebanese restaurant! The food was incredibly fresh and full of authentic flavors. We tried several dishes and every plate was perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented. The grilled dishes were especially delicious — tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection. Generous portions, great quality ingredients, and a lovely, welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Al Arz chicken shawarma always delivers and never fails to hit the spot—it was an absolute joy to have it again. Even though this wasn’t the Brompton Road branch, which I’ve been a loyal customer of since 2010, the food quality was still excellent and just as satisfying. The only downside was the service; the staff member I dealt with seemed a bit furious and not very welcoming. That said, the food more than made up for it. Still one of my go-to spots for chicken shawarma.

Came here for many times already, ordered Chicken liver and Halumi cheese every time. They go amazing well with their bread, the bread is the soul of chicken liver and halumi cheese, hope someone could get this point. The staffs are super polite and friendly, especially Hassan, he literally make our dinner experience nice every time.

Right outside South Kensington station, near the V&A, Natural History Museum, Imperial College and the RCA. Hands down the best lamb rice dish around. I’ve loved this place for many years. Authentic Middle Eastern flavours, but perfectly balanced. Not heavy, not gamey at all. The lamb is slow-cooked until incredibly tender, soft, and deeply flavourful. Perfect comfort food for winter. It comes with aubergine, cashews, almonds, peas, potatoes, and cauliflower. Nutritious and satisfying. Finished with a fresh mint/dill cucumber yoghurt sauce that brings everything together beautifully. Rich layers of flavour without being overwhelming. I could eat this forever. Restaurant: Al Arez Dish: Stuffed Lamb Highly recommended if you’re visiting the museums nearby.

Outstanding service, amazing food! First time Lebanese food and it is WOW Very fast service, big portions, definitely come back and recommend to friends and family! Thank you guys for hard work! ❤️

The food here is simply excellent the meat is tender and full of flavour, and the shisha is top-quality. The staff are genuinely kind and respectful, which makes the whole experience even better. What I particularly appreciate is that the prices for shisha are very fair, especially for locals. A place well worth visiting.
