This is a very good Lebanese restaurant. Exemplary Babaghanoush and Hummus. Grilled meats v good. Falafel were as good as anywhere, though I do prefer these warm - they'd obviously been cooked that morning though. They don't serve wine, but corkage is a reasonable £10. Good value for Marylebone

I really enjoyed the hummus and the pomegranate cocktails It's in a quiet part of Notting Hill I'm less familiar with and would recommend it even for drinks as well as dinner if you want a quieter place for drinks/a date.
