Comptoir Libanais Reviews 

My experience at the several locations I've been to has always been good but my experience at the London Bridge branch in December 2023 was truly exceptional. I love all the food and needed to feed a guest who was celiac. I ordered a large amount of takeaway as I wanted to serve six of us in my home.
Dom and his team went the extra mile, at a very busy time of year. The food was great, the large order was correct and packaged well, and the service exceptional. Thank you!

Don't bother coming here food less then average and lukewarm.
Grandson asked if he could have his chicken taouk open wrap wrapped. This caused quite the confusion as they are only able to wrap for take away. When requested after this conversation, the waitress had to check this was ok to do with the chef. It was in fact, possible to fold the bread! WOW! This came out after mine and my daughter's food, after we asked where it was, and was in a takeaway box. What a waste of packaging!
The lamb and white bean stew was relatively tasteless and not hot when served. The zaatar flatbread was more like a garlic flatbread with absolutely no zaatar on it at all.
The lamb kofte open wrap was mediocre - not something to be recommended.
We all got a Mira frozen which sounded delicious in theory. In reality, it tasted like crushed ice with a squeeze of flavoring which was lost if the straw hit the wrong part of the drink.

Good food, expensive, good enough staff. But for some strange reason they will not being my bill. I have waited over an hour and still my waiter ignores me. Many who came after me have been gone for a long time.

We are regulars at the Comptoir Libanais in Kingston and we have always had a very good experience. This is the first time that we have visited the South Kensington restaurant and it was very poor. From the arrival outside, where your host was trying to persuade us to sit outside, but we had to insist on more than one occasion that we wanted to sit inside and did not mind waiting which seemed to annoy her.
Having ordered, we remarked between us how quickly the food came, it was barely 10 minutes after we ordered it and we were surprised it could be prepared from fresh so quickly. We were right to be concerned. We normally love the food but none of our three main courses were good. My wife's lamb tagine was lukewarm/cold and not enjoyable, my chicken and olive tangine was bland and I could not see or taste any hint of olives, and my daughter's lamb grill appeared burnt.
If all this were not bad enough, my wife and daughter said that the ladies' toilets were in a bad state, so much so that my daughter would not use them and in the end made use of the disabled toilet on the ground floor.
All in all, this was a very poor experience, and £66.70 not well spent and we were really shocked as our visits in Kingston have always been excellent.
In addition, we registered above on the CL website and we have never heard anything back. Possibly suggests they do not care.

Exeter Branch.
Our server Aiden was so efficient, he checked back on us to see if we needed anything once our food arrived. The service, atmosphere and food was amazing.

Brilliant welcome, atmosphere, service, food and very bright and colourful.
I have been several times. The puddings are always the highlight but today we had breakfast. Waiting staff explained they were so busy yesterday they had run out of some ingredients. Fantastic replacement items and a beautiful Lebanese breakfast. Waiting staff wonderful as always.

Great decor and atmosphere but totally sub standard food. Kofte drowned withe cinnamon and slightly rare. Shame!

Comptoir Lebanais in Westfield White City (London) used to be our most go to place for lunch. In recent months, not only have prices spiked (as with all things in the country) but the amount served has drastically reduced in both quality and size. The mixed grill and salad platter (£18) with one lamb and one chicken kebab have reduced to no bigger than my forefinger (about 8.8cm). The six dried up 2cm cubed chicken pieces in Mama Zohra salad at £13.95 were tasteless and resembled wooden dice. As for the flaffel salad at similar price - well they were little golf balls. Only the salads surrounding these plates were tasty. Comptoir Lebanais Westfield White City branch are definitely not worth going back to.

Nice experience! Great salad! I loved it!

Teşekkürler! Kamal and the gang at this fantastic Lebanese restaurant in the heart of Exeter! Great, efficient, polite and friendly service. We had a short time and our Mezze came out within 10 minutes. Beautifully tasty food, all lovingly prepared and served- probably the best houmous we’ve ever tasted! (“Tony’s”) and the coffee is to die for!
The ambiance and decor is interesting, relaxed and relevant without being OTT; indoor and outdoor seating and affordable wonderful food.
As we’re vegan it’s so nice to see and eat gorgeous tasty food in a restaurant where anyone can feel welcomed!
Thank you and we’ll definitely be back soon! X

I have ordered a chicken wrap and salad.salad was not ready than he gave me only cabbage that’s it and the wrap was with peppers and chicken only. I bought something from another restaurant,was rubbish

Precooked. Tasteless nothing like Lebanese food. Very disappointed.

Sad to see a nice place going bad. Visited Kingston branch. Food was ok but nothing that you can't get elsewhere at better price and much better service. Cocktails were ridiculous, very small and served in a 1/3 full small glass. They have over 12% service charge.
Always check your bill too! We were overcharged £20 for 2 extra cocktails which they told us they don't have so we had choose different ones. Funnily enough they had included these in the bill! Shocking! Luckily we spotted that and they reversed it. They didn't bother apologising and seemed annoyed. I always spent between £170- £250 on a single bill every time I visited so it makes me question their billing now.
Never going back there or any of their branches.

I visited the Comptoir Libanais in Kingston and was served by the loveliest girls - Sanchi & Gina. Such customer service orientated and charming young ladies. Their service was brilliant and they are true assets to this establishment, as well as lovely girls in general. Thank you again <3

Ashford restaurant comptoir lebainese is the worst, would never visit again, food is disgusting, meet dry like from a week old, no taste, bland, stuff unexperienced and confused, not had a training, disorientainted. No idea what waiter should do. My wife order fish with rice, rice was dry in clusters being so dry and old.
Poor, poor, poor.

Had a fantastic lunch at the Birmingham New Street Station branch. The waiter molly was very hospitable and helped us with our food choices
The food as always is to an excellent authentic taste. Loved, loved the Mira mocktails.

We dined here last night for my sisters birthday and it was amazing. The food was absolutely delicious, the staff were super friendly and our hostess Millie was so adorable, she even gave my sister a complimentary cake. The only criticism that I do have was it would have been nice if all of our drinks and desert came out together as there was a bit of a gap. Other than that if was perfection and I’ll definitely recommend this place

Had a wonderful time here. Lush dinner and excellent service

Very tasty authentic Lebanese Middle Eastern food. Beautiful décor it looked like a Lebanese street. My only issue is that I asked for no olives but it came with olives, but I gave them to my mum as she loves olives. Otherwise brilliant restaurant would go there again.

Bad experience at Broadgate Circle. Fantastic location, below part service, no hummus (on a Lebanese restaurant!), the main salads are more like side salads in size (not price). This chain used to be great it is really a shame that the expansion has affected the standards and value.
