Reviews of Al Balad
N. A.
First, the location on the map is not correct, check pictures on the map for an easy understanding where it is, it’s at the beginning of Edgware road if you coming from marble arch (hyde park), it’s on the left corner, opposite of Starbuck.
Food was not great, I ordered my plate as boneless lamb from the menu, but they served it to me with bones, which was kind of annoying but the taste was good, the mixed kabab was not that great, and a bit pricey compared to the quantity. The manager was nice and so does most of the staff, Sitting area was very tight, you can barely move the chairs which was not comfortable, they serve shisha at their outdoor space but you can smell it if you’re sitting indoor.
M. K.
Great location on Edgeware Road. Easy to find and seating was OK for a fast food outlet.
Nice varied menu with something for everyone. Child friendly and high cgairs available.
A. M.
What can I say about the experience at All Balad. There was 3 of us we wasn't sure what to eat. Manager came to us and ask what we liked and made custom meals for us for example chicken and meat separate.
Now the food by far the freshest and tasty Hummus I had. Normally there are bits in humus but this was really smooth. The meat was so juicy. Salad was freshly cut and made. The meat it self didn't have any weird smell that comes from donner kebab. Sitting was really comfortable and also had wifi.
Will highly recommend and the price was really fair.
J. M.
Good food, varied Lebanese food menu, Wait staff polite however demonstrably lack food handling experience. Also bread came cold, and not does not match the quality of their other ordered food menu.
T. W.
Been there a couple of times on my way home from work. I found the wait staff very friendly and nice but as other people have complained it’s quite difficult to get through in one piece unless you speak Arabic, and very loudly too!
The waiters are always rushing about everywhere so you have to get their attention rather than wait for them to notice you and at times I have noticed that others who came after me were getting their food and leaving.
The reason I am not too angry about it is because I can see that they are not doing it out of rudeness or racism or anything, they are genuinely just busy and disorganised.
It has the vibe of a lively restaurant that is actually located in the Middle East which is why I don’t feel any negativity actually directed at me personally but I would say they need to pay attention to their other clients since our money is worth just as much as that of people who speak their language.
And the food was very tasty by the way!
A. m. A. (.
Good food a bit slow service but kind staff.
A. P.
Best hummus in the UK! And not forgetting the falafel
Y. W.
Lovely food.good service.great atmosphere.my daughter ordered chicken nuggets and they were plentiful and tasty.
R. A.
I've been here many times with the family and the food is amazing one of the best Lebanese restaurants in London hands down!!! Unfortunately the staff are rude and not very attentive and if you don't speak Arabic its a struggle!! Other than tjay much recommended!
A. J.
Authentic Lebanese place. Recommended. Felt like I was in Dubai again
S. C.
Non vegetarians may like the main course but the veg options are limited. Hummus was tasty and so was falafel. However the okra in tomato curry was pathetic. And to add there was a group of 10-12 people who kept on shouting as there is no one around.
D. M. V. N.
Excelente food. Fresh ingredients and we'll cooked. I really enjoy my visit and dinner. I will definitely go back.
Z. A.
It's not fancy, and is very busy at peak times but the food and service here is 10/10. Delicious shawarma wraps, lovely salads and starters and great service with a smile! Highly recommend!
A. S.
The best Arabic Lebanees food so far in London
V. N.
We went to the one in 60 Edward road. The food there is delicious, very nice variety and flavours. The service though is awful, it is slow, unprofessional and clumsy. You have to repeat everything you need at least a couple of times. Aside from the staff a lot of random people came and asked if the food was ok. If we asked something more for the table they will say ok and then disappear without bringing what we asked for. These people came from the basement level it all seemed a bit dodgy as they never went back. One of the guys came with his jeans completely wet in the front like he wet himself (this might’ve been an innocent accident but the whole situation was bizarre).
We ordered a couple of things a second time and when they came the second time it was made differently. One of the servers said that the food gets better and better the second time you order it so you might have to order twice to get the good stuff. (To be honest the second time it was better).
I would definitely order take away from there but probably won’t visit in person again.
S. Y.
Lovely place for Lebanese food! Staff is very friendly and welcoming ! Food is very delicious and comes in generous portion ! hummus here is divine !
I. F.
I went in for a couple of times at this place. A good range of choices in the menu. The shawrma is delicous, they also have a dessert menu I tried the knefe with tea and it was good quality. I would recommend it . Costumer service is good and food was served quickly even less than 5 minutes. The prices are quite high but it's acceptable since its based in london.
H. I.
Service was very good. Fries nice. Fish was a little over cooked. Meat dish ok but not as flavourful as I like it.
A. K.
Was a lovely family dinner, but the staff forgot alot of our side dishes! Also the Kannafe dessert takes to long to make, they should tell customers the wait time. The deco is good, the seating was a bit squashed, not comfy.
t.
Good food, but the other customers were quite rude. Also a bit pricey but ok and the waiters were rlly nice and helpful :))
Z. F.
One of the best authentic Lebanese restaurant in London. Great food and amazing service. 👍🏼
D. A.
I went to Al Balad restaurant in Edward Road in the UK, first the manager Mr Rami was not welcoming me and my friends because we only ordered deserts, however I did t like the attitude but later the same manager was nice and explained that he did not want us to occupy the table in weekend and then he provided free sweet and tea. I understand his reaction because its low season and he want to reach his top sales in the weekend which is the most busy time.. over all the sweet was good and the place is cosy and definitely i will visit again to try the food.. There are outside seating area also Shesha..
M. R.
The hummus is to die for! It's super rich and just so creamy on the tongue! The lamb in the shawarma was tender and the salad, OMG, amazing! The lemonade was delicious and refreshing, though the drinks were rather expensive.
W. F.
Excellent food, great service and friendly staff which is unusual for edgeware road. This was the newer branch across the road
The humus was made to perfection, the shawarma was tasty and the juice selection was lovely.
Great experience and highly recommended
g. k.
Amazing food! It might not have the rich interiors and ambience but the best thing about it is the local cafe feel & very tasty food 👌
F. S.
Food was really good.
Nice ambiance clean and tidy.
Bit congested but it's alright.
M. A.
Their restaurant is nice the food is good however there toilets near need more attention
A. A.
One of London 💎, delicious food ( mix grill, shawarma platter chicken/meat and Fattayer mix, also aubergine raheb cold mezaa 👍 is one of a kind.
Professional friendly staff they offer Baklawa and tea with mint as a competent.
Clean restaurant close to Hyde park and Oxford street.
Lebanese and prices are good
Me and family definitely will go again and again.
M. R.
I tried lamb shank with rice, which was very tasty £14, salad was so yummy (fattoush) £7 almost but must try dish, mixed fatayer was not good so i don't recomend this,hummus was delicious £6.50 fresh lemonade was so refreshing, shawarma's are excellent too. Ambience not too great service is quick, they do sheisha as well. . For 2 it was almost £48.Over all good experience.
N. M.
one of my favourite lebanese placrs on edgware road i only ever get tameaway but love the food and great customer service.
M. M.
The best shawarma in London, I've tried many other places that were good but this one is excellent.
R. R.
Quality of the food is not that great, also quantity is less. Although good service!!! 😊
M. G.
I've been coming here for years. Always delicious and the people are very friendly. 👍
A. S.
Nice middle Eastern food
S. S.
Delicious BBQ and Fresh Food.Must try Mint Tea in the end.This place is open until 2am
M. A.
Delicious food, service is good. But the amount of served food has been reduce, before it was big meal where u can enjoy,
N. M.
By far the best Arab restaurant I’ve been to in London. Great customer service as well tho I did feel bad for the man who was serving us because my Scottish accent was a little hard to understand but overall great service, thank you!
M. D.
Great halal restaurant serving Lebanese food. Most of the dishes are great and my preferred are shish tawook and shawarma. Tends to be busy towards the evening, especially weekends. You could also smoke shisha / hoka but that would be outdoor. Highly recommended.
J. R.
One of the waiters seemed moody and disconnected from servicing us. The other guys have been perfect. Food was good.
a. j.
This place is a cute little restaurant just on the corner of Edgware Road after oxford street. Prices are very reasonable. If you require assistance in a wheelchair or have difficulty with stairs please be advised the toilets are downstairs. Food tastes great here
M. T.
They have the most tasty and fresh hummus on Edgware road. Meat are fresh and juicy. Love
D. P.
Good first experience with my Lebanese friend.
In general all the food was ok.
One of the lamb bites was a little bit burnt and taste oil.
The hummus was amazing.
A. s.
Al Balad halal Lebanese resturant located on Edgware Road London is a nice choice to take dinner if you like tasty Arabic food and smoke shisha than must try it. Per person cost around is 20£ to 25£.
S. L.
The food was so delicious. The sawda (chicken liver with pomegranate sauce) was so good! The fattoush salad was extreme flavorful and crunchy. We ordered a lot of things and everything was wonderful, service too! Speedy order taking and serving. Clean and spacious area. We ended out meal with a kunafa (soft/ brown kunafa) and it was heavenly.
H. M.
Good service and lovely freshly prepared food. Slightly noisy but generally good atmosphere.
J. G.
Great Lebanese food. We haven't had the opportunity of sitting in yet. We have just has takeaway. Be prepared to wait awhile for your orders as the seated patrons get served first. It is worth the wait though.
A. K. U.
The restaurant is positioned really well. The staff are nice but are very out of sync and spaced out a lot. (I will excuse this, possibly they were fasting as it is ramadan) I got my order but not exactly what I asked for. The food was well seasoned and full of flavour except the chicken shawarma meat was over salted. Would I go again? Yes, but only after ramadan, hopefully the staff members would be more attentive.
G. M.
Lovely friendly service, delicious food and fun people watching with the odd supercar. Outdoor seating was a bonus
R. Q.
Friendly staff
We tried the Hummus, Fatiah and Falafel, all tasted good , the fatiah had a lot of yogurt in it so wouldn’t order it again , the falafel were tasty it was nice to eat falafel that taste like the original
J. M.
Great food. Hospitality from staff is second to none.
M. C.

Food is good and tasty. Service is terrible. Please dont go.
S. A.
I’m so amazed, sometimes when I go to restaurants I don’t feel like reviewing them but this restaurant is incredible. I had a big order and it came in 3-4 mins. The food is phenomenal too! I can’t explain. They are amazing!!! I definitely recommend this restaurant.
H. 7.
Very nice food , good service ..
But bad Shisha!!
H.
Delicious Lebanon’s halal restaurants in London!
R. E.
Fantastic food & great staff. Always head here when I'm in London.
E. H. T. t.
Without question, the finest Shawarma and Tabuleah in Town. Travelled all the way from Yorkshire just to get my " fix"
N.
Probably the yummiest hummus you’ll ever taste in London. Shawarma was great too and the fattoush is to die for. However the manager was very rude and if I go again and get yelled at I will most definitely will replace it with Marroush.
A. J.
Alright. Recommend the salad hummus and rice with chicken. Dint like the recommended 'chefs special'/rice with lamb too much veg not much lamb or spice/wow factor. Read in the reviews there is complimentary baklava but dint get any
A. A.
Amazing, spectacular
T. S. (.
Really great and welcoming service, and amazing food!
T. B.
Food was tasty and interesting, could have been a bit hotter. Quite pricy.
F. -.
Great food 😍
E. K.
This is a great restaurant serving authentic Lebanese food. Highly recommended.
J. E.
Since the closure of the best restaurant ever which was Beirut Express, this has to be one of the best remaining on Edgware rd, mostly the rest have gone downhill, but these guys notably the shawarma have kept standards high.
A. I.
Good food but a bit too expensive
R. R.
Very nice food it is beyond expctation
C. L.
Nice food. Rude customer service (by the owner) . Hence 3 stars
M. P.
I was travelling for about 4 hours on the motorbike and I was incredibly out of it as it was a hot summer day. Completely dehydrated and I ordered my food as I had my gear on, I didn't opt to sit in. Although the heat got the best of me and the owner told me to sit in an eat. Will always remember this day. Thank you ❤
A. A.
Nice and lovely place to eat n smoke shisha.
Had a lamb shawarma wrap, it was nice but a bit cold, ordered around 1015 pm.
Shisha guy keeping topping it with coal, very good. Thanks
C. C.
Service can be a little slow. But you should definitely plan around that, because the food is entirely worth it.
I had a dish of grilled liver and pomegranate molasses which may be the best thing I've eaten in months.
And the hummus and schwarma were top notch. My friends also thoroughly enjoyed their food, one of which was vegetarian.
There's not a lot in the way of kid's food if your kids aren't adventurous eaters, although you can get a bowl of chips (every bit as good as the rest of the food).
M. A.
Amazing shawarmas, great customer services. Since it is one of the few places open until late, may get a bit crowded on weekends.
F. H.
Food was good and portions are big. Roasted lamb was delicious. Good place to try Middle eastern Lebanese cuisine. There is waiting usually during dinner time. Customer service needs improvement specially in rush hours. Prices are affordable.
A. E.
It was fantastic lunch very delicious and HALAL. Friendly and nice service 👌
T. B.
A nice place to eat especially if you are very hungry! The portions are very generous, however, if you can't finish all you've ordered they will happily pack for you to eat at home later. The staff were friendly and when they served ordinary tea, instead of the mint tea we had ordered, it was immediately changed without fuss and with an apology. It cannot be regarded as a cheap place to dine, but ok for central London and I would regard it as value for money
M. C.
Food was great... customer service was a bit lacking
U. A.
Not the friendliest of staff and need to improve customer service. But both the Lamb and Chicken Shawarma tasted great
A. M.
Very nice place in Central London.
Liked the Lebanese Shawerma and the tea.
Friendly staff, affordable cost and nice view.
B. M.
Superb food with reasonable prices ..Thank you ..the serving staff was very kind and polite..Over all experience suberbb...
O. H.
Nice food but little pricey!
S. F.
one of my favourite restaurants but i feel like it is getting more expensive than it used to be
K. B.
Amazing Hospitality and really tasty food.
K. S.
What can I say... Been coming to this place almost 4 or 5 years, at least 1 every couple of months. Good is excellent, the service not so much. They seem to rush you a lot these days. Their signature dish, the lamb roast was indeed a hearty meal. Big portion even for a foodie look like me. On my latest visit this October I was a bit disappointed. The quantity has shrunk dramatically. Wish Management would do some about it. Good luck and happy munchies...
k. f.
They serve the best shawerma I have ever tasted! Oh and their shisha is sooo authentic btw!
A. S.
Good food but expensive for the portion sizes. The kids had to have a Shawarma from Cafe Helen next door afterwards.
i. s.
Food is very delicious excellent 👍
H. H.
Food was great, wonderful service.
m. m.
I tried their chicken shawerma sandwich . Coming from an Arabian guy ...it is delicious however waiters are noisy screaming at each other the whole time . And the guy taking my order wasn't concentrating . Floors and tables are dirty this place will definitely have a higher rate once service is improved !
A. R.
I should have posted this earlier, but I was still reeling under the influence of the amazing food I had at Al Balad. I took a friend who had never tried Lebanese food and she was blown away. The service was fabulous, they suggested some dishes (which turned out to be superb choices), let us enjoy our meal without rushing us and gave us free baklavas! I can’t wait to go there again – well done!
s. m.
Great food and service! Definitely come back again.
S. W.
Tastiest Lebanese food! We ordered the lamb shank and chicken shwarma, houmus for starters and some seasonal salad, it was truly the most satisfying meal I have had in a long time! Recommend it to anyone visiting edgeware road!
M. “. D.
Food was very good. Meat well seasoned and succulent. Fresh Ingredients. Healthy. Good selection of beverages.
B. S.
The food was great.
I had a mix of chicken and lamb Shwarma and Hommus. I had tea for beverage.
Cramped table indoors. Outside patio is spacious, but more reserved for Hooka.
The waiter got our order wrong and it was difficult get it corrected
G. P.
Food is ok, the service is poor
S. F. R.
Friendly service and great atmosphere
Perfect to take your family there to enjoy a nice meal
M. C.
Great food, big portions!
D. B.
Absolutely delightful choice of delicious and authentic Lebanese food. Always a good experience. The staff are courteous and even the cooks seem to personally talk to those wanting a takeaway. Would be interesting to know if the food is from a particular part of Lebanon.
h. j.
Good staff , muhana was good guy ♥️
I. A.
Great food amazing service...
A. I.
Liked it but little expensive as per quantity and taste
Y. C.
Food is very tasty and delicious. It a proper Lebanese restaurant with good quality and oriental tasty. Because im a lamb meat lover, i always get lamb shank roasted with rice and peanuts on top. The sauce and rice is a great combination. They serve olives as a complimentary welcome, pickled olives are delicious. If you want to get a shisha you can sit out side and drink a nice mint tea with it.
Very good place to spend time and fill you stomach
A. O.
Came here at midnight on a Saturday night. Place was absolutely buzzing with locals, families, children. Had to wait a short while for a seat. Food was absolutely stunning. Certainly the best meal I've had on the Edgware Rd... by a long way. Can't wait to go back.
S. S.
Amazing place in city of London to try the Middle-eastern Lebanese cuisine. There is waiting usually during the dinner time. But they also do takeaway. It's value for your buck & the host is very welcoming.
M. K.
Truly excellent food. Excellent staff. Excellent shisha. Can't give it enough praise. Only downside is the space they have to work with, it can feel really cramped when the place is full, but the food is worth it.
A.
I think is among the best Lebanese in Paddington area, definitely
E. I.
Al Balad is definitely a must to try if you like Lebanese food.
The place is really nice, the music makes the right atmosphere and eating inside gives you the opportunity to jump into another country, You do not feel being in London anymore.
The restaurant is well located and easy to get by bus, tube and taxi.
The food was fantastic. I had a dinner with a friend and we got hummus , mutabal and some main courses with kebab and lamb from the grill...amazing stuff!!! We got also mix fruit juices which were the perfect match with the food.
Also after trying their hummus you really understand that there is no comparison with the low quality one we get from big supermarkets.
To conclude, I'd like to say that staff was very friendly, professional and they followed us for all our meal, even if the place was busy.
I will come back!!!
Thank you!!
K. A. K.
My favorite Arabic Restaurant in London everything is perfect.
J. T.
Absolutely brilliant Lebanese restaurant. Friendly staff and delicious food 😋
H. A.
The chicken meal was so delicious!! My husband got the lamb dish and he also enjoyed it. The service was very good. Middle Eastern food should defo be recommended from this restaurant!
A. A.
Very good food. We choose different starters and it was all tasty. £4.5 for 1 water bottle is a bit much but the price of the food is reasonable.
P. R.
Excellent restaurant, delicious food from an extensive and easy to understand menu, reasonably priced. Very helpful staff and good service. Some nice little touches like providing bread without being asked and not charging for it. Wanted to give us complimentary tea as well.
s. a.
I did not have much to eat there as it was more for some mint tea and a snack. We had the baba ganoush which was not particularly tasty-but obviously they have an extensive menu which may be great. But it was the service-or rather lack of service-which startled me. To be honest i don't think anyone said anything to us the whole time and felt a little uncomfortable. Not going back.
S. Q.
Good food as always, service at times can be a bit slow.
J. H.
Decent Lebanese food - perhaps not quite as polished as my old stalwarts like Noura and Ishbilia, but correspondingly it felt a bit more family oriented and of course cheaper. Quite bustling on the weekday evening when I went, but they didn't seem to have a problem finding me a table. The mezze staples which I tried were all done to a good standard, again perhaps without some of the finesse you might get at higher end Lebanese places, and they didn't fuss over presentation too much, a sort of home cooked feel I suppose, which is no bad thing. Hearty and tasty loubieh bel zeit, very fresh and zingy tabbouleh, respectable falafel and the kallaj was perhaps a bit on the thin side to my tastes but nice enough. Prompt and friendly service. No alcohol served AFAICT. The bill therefore seemed very reasonable.
K. a.
My favourite place for food on Edgware Road. I think it serves the best shawarma and middle Eastern dips. Only snag is that the service is quite slow especially when picking up the bill.
A. I.
Not bad
A. K.
Their taboulah and homous are sooo nice.. havent tried such yummy taboulah in UK.. didn’t like the chicken shawarma plate that much.. or i guess if i took it as a wrap will be nicer
M. S.
It is fun to eat in a middle Eastern restaurant again v you have the choice of sitting outdoors with a heater. Delicious food
K. N.
Waiters can be a little bit rough around the edges. However, food is delicious and I come here every so often and bring different friends here and they all approved of it every single time. Absolutely recommend this place. They also have Shisha
R. F.
Good food, especially the starters
D. S. O.
Lebanon dishes with big hospitability. Experienced lamb dishes recommended by the restaurant, we all satisfied. The restaurant locates in very convenient place near Marble Arch 5 minites walk from Hotel Hard Rock.
A. Q. S.
Friendly staff, try that Lebanese hummus 3 star unfortunately service taking too too long
M. R.
Lovely food and service was very good . The waiters looked after us . Very friendly staff. Would recommend to others definitely come. Again
H. A.
This restaurant has very good location which connecting Oxford Street by Marble Arch station with Edgware Road the most busiest Arab street. You'll find lovely lebanees food but I give 4 stars cuz their food prices are increasing sharply.
W. S.
Friendly staff and quality cuisine. Our first visit to this particular restaurant in Edgware Road but we are very fond of good Levantine cuisine and this ticks most of the boxes. Recommended.
B. k.
Delicious food and excellent service! What more could you ask for!
U. K.
overpriced, decent food
S. C.
Delicious food, very polite and hospitable staff. Complimentary tea and baklava after a tasty meal.
M. D.
If you've been walking for a while in Edgware road and all places are busy to smoke some shisha, this place may have some space as it's a bit far from the rest of the shops. If 8 ignore the annoying street beggars, the atmosphere was nice but food wasn't as what u was expecting.
C. P.
If you fancy a nice Turkish food and tasty meal for a reasonable price, don't think twice.
w. e.
The food was very nice. Be careful of the credit card scam. The waiter refused to accept payment through credit card. He claimed that, the machine was not working. I went to the cashier and paid with my credit card.
P. S.
This one of the best proper Lebanese restaurants. Food is delicious, good portions, lovely atmosphere,and staff very helpful. Highly recommended eating here.
t. h.
Having just read the other reviews of this place I felt compelled to leave my first ever review of a restaurant on Google in their defence. We eat at Al Balad as often as we can as we just can't get enough of their chicken and kofta shish taouk. Out of the many Lebanese restaurants we have tried all over London, Al Balad is the best in quality, price and service. Highly recommended.
A. L.
My favourite shawarma stop off Delicious Quick Service Friendly Staff. 1st Shop on the famous edgware road. The further down you go the lower the quality gets. 👍
T. K.
Delicious food, had dinner first day and breakfast next day
Z. K.
Tried the lamb shawarma here as well as ayran and smoked sheesha - all good experience and recommend checking it out. Service is actually attentive but the amount of clients going in and out disrupts service sometimes.
p.
Hello! Al Balada was a good experience the first time , food was good , the waiting staff kind , but struggling with the food knowledge . Second time I went for vegetarian , all good and fresh, fast service, but the male waiter was flirting with me a bit more then normal witch made me feel uncomfortable so only four stars . A bit more professionalism will be good 😉😉
S. G.
Delicious food, lovely services, will definitely be back! Thank you! 😊
R. S.
The best Fattoush in London! The food is fresh and tasty. It does get very busy so best to book especially if you are a large group.
M. A.
The food here is beyond anyone's expectations for an Arabic cuisine in London. Their mezzas, especially the fatoush, hummus and tabbouleh are some of the best I ever had in my life. The staff are very friendly and polite despite the fact that the place is usually packed, especially in the weekends. Their prices are very reasonable considering the location of the restaurant in the heart of London. If you are into shisha as well, their shisha is the best proper Arabian shisha you can ever get in London.
K. H.
The food was good however service was slow.
s.
Don't do London without a visit to Al Balad. Amazing food, reasonably priced and the staff can't do enough for their customers. The fattoush salad is a must.

fair price charged with excellent quality of food. only problem is, you wont be able to find seat for your self easily, but that tells you about the quality as well.

Very delicious food especially bamya and rice, reasonable price compare to high street, the service was good , the lady working in the resturant shouting with colleagues loudly regarding cleaning , I think personal issues should solved quietly away from customer .. it was not nice to see that!

Great food but pricey, probably like all around this area so. Try the lamb wrap with some chips on the side with some hot sauce

Best Middle Eastern restaurant in London and the only place that tastes like a restaurant in the levant...don’t even bother with anywhere else...the first time I tried it I came back the next day and then a third time in the same week....
