Authentic Lebanese dishes, intimate cave-like nooks, and cosy vibe
"We get teary-eyed whenever we think about this romantic Lebanese restaurant on Blandford Street. The rustic walls and candlelight make it charming enough that we’d probably fall in love with Severus Snape if he took us to dinner here. The cosy front section of Fairuz teeters into ‘accidentally dipping your pitta in the next table's moutabal’ territory, which is fine if you’re in a group. But if you’re hoping to seduce someone over creamy aubergine fatteh, head there early to snag a seat in the hidden-away back corner." - rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna
"Fairuz in Marylebone is a place where friends bring friends who will inevitably become regulars, and couples cosy up while sharing some of London’s best Lebanese food in the cave-like nooks. The tightly packed room teeters into ‘accidentally dipping your pitta in the next table's moutabal’ territory. But with Fairuz—the iconic Lebanese singer and namesake—playing in the background, it all adds to the homely charm. The chef specials, like slow-roast lamb knuckle fatteh and comforting makloobeh, will have you returning." - daisy meager, jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, heidi lauth beasley, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna, jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, sinead cranna, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, heidi lauth beasley
"At Fairuz, the lighting is low, the nooks are plentiful, and the aubergine fatteh will steal your date’s attention. This Marylebone spot is a great little place to know about when you want warm charm and to scoop superior, nutty hummus into your face—or theirs—with warm pitta. The menu has a mix of classics that you’ll find at most Lebanese restaurants, but at Fairuz they’re a cut above." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, sinead cranna
"The ultimate Great Little Place, Fairuz is a rustic restaurant in Marylebone with an aubergine fatteh that will live on in your daydreams long after your meal is done. Little nooks and intimate three-seater tables tucked away in the back mean it's perfect for an overdue catch-up. Arabic music plays in the background, conversations are started over citrussy hummus and finished over the last bite of tender aubergine and perfectly pink, lamb-filled makloobeh. Come for the best versions of classic Lebanese dishes you’ll find in the city, stay for the romantic lighting and cosy set-up." - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, jake missing
"At Fairuz in Marylebone, the lighting is low, the nooks are plentiful, and the lamb knuckle fatteh will dominate all conversation as soon as it lands on your table. The menu has a mix of classics that you’ll find at most Lebanese restaurants, as well as some specials like the makloobeh which has melting aubergine and pieces of lamb that a newborn could chew. Meet an old friend for thick, creamy hummus and crispy falafel, and dissect the same situation you’ve discussed 100 times before." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
