What people say

Lebanese cuisine is known for its bold and exotic flavors, and Ishbilia Restaurant in London's Belgravia area is the perfect place to experience it. With a reputation for producing the finest and most authentic Lebanese food in London, Ishbilia has been voted the UK's number one restaurant for Lebanese cuisine by Zagat Magazine for three years in a row.

Under the direction of world-renowned Head Chef and owner Mohamed Alkhlaifaoui (Abu Mahmoud), Ishbilia's philosophy is simple: to produce honest, wholesome, and traditional food in a relaxed, vibrant, and chic setting. And with a recent expansion and refurbishment program that created a much more spacious dining area, private dining room, and Mezze Bar downstairs, there are now even more ways to enjoy this exceptional restaurant.

The new private dining room provides a luxurious setting to experience the cuisine in an intimate atmosphere. Meanwhile, the Mezze Bar offers wall-to-wall banquette seating for a more casual and comfortable dining experience. Two recessed alcoves embellished with metallic mosaics also create an intimate ambiance not to be missed.

Aesthetically pleasing with comfortable velvets and silks in varying colors and designs reflecting different atmospheres throughout the three dining areas - Ishbilia Restaurant is truly an exceptional destination for anyone looking to indulge in authentic Lebanese cuisine.
