Lebanese Gardens Lounge 225 Balham High Road, London SW17 7BQ

"Wonderful amazing food! I am on a boring vegan diet and I didn’t expect the food to be so nice and the customer service is amazing. I have been there twice and I plan on coming again next weekend with my freind, can’t wait!"

"I was happy to see there was a restaurant that was open later than the usual ones around in this area. I asked to be seated in the warm area as there were not many customers. There was a light breeze coming in, which was not great. The service was slow, but i believe the waiter/waitress was maybe new. Me and my friend were hungry, so I asked the waiter what was the best and good size dish to go for. He recommended the mix grill (which you will think is a selection of all meats that are already on the menu with a choice of sides) £19. To my surprise, it looked a little bigger than what you would think was starter size. It tasted really good but could not hide the fact that I am getting ripped off. Once the waitress came to collect plates, I asked This is the first time I have seen just 3 types of meat for a mix grill and on your menu it shows that you sell wings and Chops too? You would expect this to be in a mix grill? She said this is how it is, and I am not the first customer to complain. So I after paying £48 for 2 mix grills and 2 ginger beers. Very disappointing"

"Lovely venue and the food is good however not recommended for large groups. Attended a family birthday meal for approx 50 people and it was mayhem. We had to pay a minimum of £25 up front per person so the restaurant was aware of the numbers attending but they could not cope. It did not help matters that the waitress failed to write down our table numbers when taking our orders so that when it arrived they had no idea who had ordered what! Also 3 hours later our orders were still being served. I ordered a main after 8pm and received it after 11pm. It did not help matters that the restaurant had taken a booking of around 15 people along with our booking and was also still taking online orders! It was like something out of Gordan Ramsay Hell's Kitchen. The staff were not rude but something went terribly wrong. I don't blame the staff as they worked hard but it's on the management as they took on more than they could possibly cope with."

"Great place, very tasty, large portions, good prices. Super shisha. Abdoo served us, made a very cool shisha, everything was delicious, fast. Special thanks to Abdoo he is a great guy! Thank you so much for amazing experience!:)"

"What a beautiful place, clean with pool and a terrace where you can smoke shisha, you can also bring your own alcoholic drinks because they don’t sell. The service was on point, very attentive. We will come back!!"
