"This all-day restaurant in Park Royal serves some seriously good Middle Eastern food. Beit El Zaytoun is a great place to enjoy a relaxed Lebanese brunch in their outdoor area, with meat and cheese mana’eesh, halloumi, and zeit w za’atar all on the menu until 2:45pm. We’d opt for a selection of the mana’eesh, some mezze, and a fattoush salad on the side. It also stays open until late when you can get shawarmas and wrap platters." - rianne shlebak
"All-day restaurant Beit El Zaytoun makes a seriously good Middle Eastern brunch. Located in Park Royal, just off the canal, the semi-outdoor area is a good place to be when the sun is out and you're in the mood for hummus. With a brunch menu filled with things like meat and cheese mana’eesh, halloumi, and zait w zaatar, it’s the perfect scenic spot to spend a couple of hours nibbling away at some falafel and tahini." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley
"Ever since it first opened, Beit El Zaytoun, a Lebanese restaurant and shisha cafe in Park Royal, has been a hub for Muslims to gather during Ramadan—for a hummus-filled iftar or a shawarma-packed suhoor. This year, there’s a £25 buffet with daily changing specials like lamb kabseh, sheikh el mehshi (meat stuffed aubergine), and mezze. There’s another location in Chelsea where they’ve got an iftar set menu." - rianne shlebak
"A five-minute stroll from Harlesden station, Beit El Zaytoun has a semi-outdoor, covered terrace that is the answer to your latest weather app-related crisis. It’s open from lunch until late during the week, but really you want to stop by at the weekend for a relaxed Lebanese brunch, featuring hummus, mana’eesh, and more hummus. Call ahead so you can secure your riverside view with a side of zait w zaatar and smug skip-the-queue satisfaction. " - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
"The best thing about a retractable roof, other than the obvious protection against British weather, is you kind of feel like you’re sitting outside. Which is why we always ask for a table at the back of this Harlesden spot, with a view of the canal, because water equals holiday, right? Brunch here comes with a healthy dose of fresh air, Lebanese mana’eesh, and creamy hummus. Sit by the window, order the meat and cheese manoushe, and don’t make any plans soon after, because you won’t be getting up for at least a couple of hours." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
