The Best London Restaurants For Eating At The Counter - London - The Infatuation

"Toum is a Lebanese restaurant in Mayfair that doubles as the perfect burgundy backdrop when you’ve decided to bless the masses with your first thirst trap after a six-month posting hiatus. Sure, quite a lot of the dishes here lack oomph, but it turns out that their supremely creamy hummus goes great with skinny fries, big hair flicks, and developing a fixation on the mustard colour of the countertop. It’s so buzzy and flirt-ready that any leather-stool-numb-bum consequences are entirely worth it." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak

Toum - Review - Mayfair - London - The Infatuation

"Toum’s burgundy dining room is the kind of cool place we’d want as a backdrop for a thirst trap after a six-month posting hiatus. It’s where we’d want an ex to see us through the huge windows, sitting at the counter, skinny chip in hand, mid-catch-up, with a fresh blowdry. The buzzy, romantic-feeling room is a good mix of date nights and friends splitting a whole rotisserie chicken—and by 7pm it’s lively, without being too loud to have a conversation. The Lebanese menu sounds exciting but lacks oomph, with things like the musakhan rolls being too light on the sumac, and chicken that relies on the accompanying dips for any flavour. There are some stand-outs: the hummus is creamy and smooth, and the samboussek is a crispy pastry pocket of peppery beef and lamb that should be on your table. Food Rundown Hummus Hummus that’s so creamy it looks like it’s been piped with an icing bag, this thick, tahini-laced dip is topped with a herby green olive oil and crispy chickpeas. Get this. photo credit: Rianne Shlebak Musakhan Rolls These pulled chicken rolls needed more sumac. More salt. More onion. More zest. More tang. More of everything please. photo credit: Rianne Shlebak Rotisserie Chicken The rotisserie chicken is nice and tender, but it needs the garlicky toum dip to be interesting. photo credit: Rianne Shlebak Samboussek Skip the pitta bread and dip these meaty pastry pockets in the hummus instead. They’re perfectly salty and moreish. photo credit: Rianne Shlebak Slow-Roasted Lamb Shank On The Bone This is a hefty piece of lamb, and sure it could be softer, but if you’re stuck between the chicken and lamb, we’d go lamb. photo credit: Rianne Shlebak Fries If you’re a fan of skinny, crispy McDonald’s-type fries, these are for you.

Toum - Review - Mayfair - London - The Infatuation

"Toum has opened its doors in Mayfair, where it specialises in rotisserie chicken and fun twists on classic Lebanese dishes. There’s a fun counter, a terrace, and a basement listening bar called Encore. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

Toum is an excellent restaurant in London. The chicken dishes are outstanding, and the food overall is delicious and full of flavor. The service is excellent and very professional. The appetizers are great, especially the grilled chicken, which is a must-try. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for high-quality food and a great dining experience.

Well what can I say!!! Hands on heart this place is 10/10. If you’re planning to visit Toum Restaurant, please make sure you book in advance — it gets busy for all the right reasons! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, elegant, and full of that authentic Lebanese charm. The food was flavourful, fresh, and beautifully presented — every dish tasted like it was made with love. A special shout-out to the amazing team: ✨ Manager Hssien – for his professionalism, kindness, and the way he makes every guest feel valued. ✨ Karina – always smiling, attentive, and delivering service with genuine warmth. ✨ Clara – so friendly and efficient, making the whole experience even better. The combination of delicious food and exceptional service truly sets Toum apart. I’ll definitely be coming back — highly recommended! 💛🍽️

Toum brings Lebanese flavours to London with confidence and flair. The star of the show is the rotisserie chicken — golden, juicy, and unapologetically indulgent, especially when dipped into their namesake garlic toum. The menu reimagines classic Lebanese dishes with a modern edge, balancing comfort and creativity without losing authenticity. Stylish yet relaxed, the space hums with energy, matched by warm, attentive service special thanks to Carla who was super nice and her hospitality was for sure next level. Add inventive cocktails and bold flavours throughout, and Toum becomes the kind of place you visit once — then crave again. A standout for anyone seeking Lebanese cuisine with a contemporary London twist.

We came to Toum for lunch and had a genuinely delightful experience. The pumpkin hummus was amazing, rich and perfectly balanced, and the beef tartare was also great. The chicken here is super good tender, flavorful, and even better with their signature garlic sauce. We ended the meal with the tahini/sesame cookie, a really nice sweet finish. What truly elevated the whole experience was our server, Lana. She was active, attentive, and pleasant throughout, making us feel well taken care of from start to finish.

Loved the food here, the rotisserie chicken with the Toum sauce was delicious. Also tried the aubergine main and the halloumi with hot honey + musakhan rolls. Everything was fantastic including the tahini cookie which I highly recommend for dessert. Will definitely be back!

I sat at the counter, the meat is halal, verbally confirmed by the restaurant. Their chicken was absolutely delicious and their side dishes were fresh and amazing, the bread was alright nothing to rave about. I also wasn't a fan of bow salty the tahina cookie was. The artichoke and the aubergine were amazing!

This restaurant serves some of the best rotisserie chicken I’ve ever had — perfectly seasoned, juicy, and full of flavor. Their variety of small appetizers and side dishes makes every meal exciting, and the aubergine dish is an absolute standout. The atmosphere is inviting, with both indoor and outdoor seating available, and the staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. A fantastic place to enjoy a delicious, well-rounded meal.
