Lal Qila Lebanese

"Parking was ample as we went at a quiet time but it also meant we were waiting for 10 minutes (no exaggeration) before we were seated as no staff were present at all. The chef did appear and was very polite. The decor is very dated and hygiene was poor unfortunately. The kettle the mint tea was served in was dirty and the yogurt dip that was put on our table had a fly in it. I did point this out to the chef who kindly brought out another one (a dip, not a fly to clarify). The menu had a wide range. The dishes were served quickly but without any serving spoons or forks. You are left to yourselves but would be nice if someone popped over to check if all is well with the dining experience (they had plenty of time as we were the only 2 people in the restaurant). Food was ok but nothing was memorable enough to want to try it again. I think for the prices they charge there are better places with respect to decor and food but not the worst I’ve been to. The staff in the Shisha section were friendly. I probably went on a bad day but I won’t be going again."

"The food was good. Service was good but took long. We had a mixed grill and kanafe. The restaurant inside needs to be updated as decor is outdated. However the garden is more modern and has comfortable seating. As there is a shisha section."

"Quiet during day but heard that it gets busy during evenings. We went to restaurant for a late family lunch (rather than Sisha section). Very tasty, fresh Lebanese food. Really good size portions & good value. Staff were also polite. Definitely recommend!"

"Went for a meal with my family last night. Was a little concerned initially as although the shisha lounge looked busy, there was no one else in the restaurant seating area. However, service was excellent and food was fabulous! Would definitely go back again soon"

"Ate here this evening with my colleagues. Really impressed by the service we received. The food was delicious, the staff were incredibly polite and friendly. I have allergies which were 100% catered to. Will certainly be back soon!"
