Black Cab to Beauchamp Place: £5 Three Chicken Shawarmas: £12 Hot Lebanese food in Belgravia on Sunday night at 11:55pm? Priceless. Maybe it was the *hiccup* influence we were under, but with fresh homemade hummus, chili sauce and a bit of onion, pickle and tomato, this was the best kebab (ok fine, shawarma) I've ever had. (Should I be concerned that a 4 minute taxi ride cost more than my meal? Maybe tomorrow...) read more

The best falafel we had by far. My family still raves about it and reminisce. We had a 20 minute wait for lunch, but well worth the wait. The pita they made was amazing as well. read more

We were craving lebanese food. We based our decision on both Yelp and Tripadvisor reviews. While our entire experience wasn't the best because of a large family that came into dine, we made the best of it. Given some of the issues trying to put a family in a room that we were dining in, the servers realized the issue, put us in a different room and made our experience more than anything we would have ever asked for due to the issues. We just wanted to sit in a different room because of the obnoxious family. There was about 15 of them, so I'll let you think of what we went through. The staff is amazing from start to finish. Very friendly individuals, all of them. The location is very convenient being close to Harrods and in a very boutiquey shopping area. I ordered Shish Tawok and it was supurb. The flavor was incredible. My partner ordered the Chicken Shawerma and was also very impressed with the flavor. We both expected that our orders would be over a bed of rice, but it didn't matter. It was delicious. Given the mixup with the family the staff went out of their way to make sure we were happy. They brought us a fruit tray, which normally I don't eat fruit, but this was definitely the best fruit we've ever tasted. Very fresh. It was almost like it wasn't real because of how fresh and delicious it was. They then brought us out ice cream, which was also some of the best homemade ice cream we've ever had. Lastly, to cap it off they brought us mint tea. I have to say, for staff trying to ensure the rest of our experience was perfect, they didn't an amazing job. They went way out of their way. Because of this, we will be back soon. What a great place. I highly recommend it to those who love middle eastern food. read more

This is the only Maroush i have been to, and given its location (basically its proximity to Harrods), i was initially quite apprehensive of the cost. That however turned out to be a pleasant surprise. We were seated upstairs. We followed the waiter into almost the kitchen before we realized their is a small passage beyond the takeaway counter that leads to an extensive dining area. The food is very good, and they have an extensive selection of starters and main courses from several middle eastern countries. I would strongly recommend the kalawi (lamb kidneys) and the standard meat kebab dishes. The service was good, and we received generous help in selecting our dishes. -1 star for the service time. It seemed to us that they took an inordinately long time to get the food, the bill and everything. What they got after the delay was great though :) read more

One of *the* post-clubbing dining staples in the West End. I've been here countless countless times - gratefully noshing away at 4am. Oh my dear Maroush - what would I do without you?? You see, even in a slightly inebriated state, I'm still one to turn up my nose at fast food and those questionable kebab outlets, so the best part about Maroush is that, not only is it open late, it's really *good.* Good enough that I come here on lazy Sunday afternoons when I'm absolutely sober and can't get the thought of their hommos or their moussaka or their fresh and tangy salads out of my mind. Good enough that I practically proselytize about their baklava (which comes complimentary at the end of every meal). And good enough that some dude who once tagged along with my friends and me here after a night out, had the *nerve* to text me only once again - at 3am on a Saturday night - to inquire where in the world "that really great Lebanese place we went to" was. Ha... I didn't bother telling him, but I'm telling you. Go forth! read more

We chose to come here on a Friday after work, because it reviewed well on Yelp! and we felt like trying somewhere new. Perhaps it was too early, but we were the only ones there at first, in what seemed like a large space. We studied the menu and saw a wide selection of hot and cold starters, pastries and main courses. We wanted to enjoy a variety of flavours, so we chose 6 of the starters to share as our entire meal. The food was ok, but not great. It had a sameness to it all. I probably would not come back here: there are bound to be other better Lebanese restaurants to try. The service was similar: ok, but not great. When we got the bill, we noticed the £2 per person cover charge. Restaurants with cover charges annoy me, and I decided I would give it one less star as a result! read more

Delicious delicious ...had the hommous shawarma, Roast Lamb, and King Prawns ...all were tasty, full of flavor, and just right portions. They also have fresh squeezed mango juice ...yay! read more

Shockingly good! We don't find ourselves in Knightsbridge often, but after an event at the Austrian Cultural Foundation the other night, we needed a quick dinner, and resorted to the interwebs for some suggestions. In keeping with our "Don't Eat British" policy (because really, why would you?), we found this place on yelp, chowhound, and various other boards, and thought we'd give it a shot. Thank god we did. Amazing. Delicious hummus, fantastic kibbe nayeh (raw lamb with onions and herbs), and good chicken shawarma (an extra tomato or two could lift that to a higher level). Hummus was balanced, flavorful, just the right amount of spice to make it interesting, and the right amount of oil to make it oh so good. The kibbe nayeh was a new experience, and definitely worth it. Up there with the best steak tartare, this was finely chopped, almost purreed, and nearly melted in your mouth, tasting nothing like the lamb I had ever had before. Delicately spiced, and with an incredibly unique taste that's hard to pin down after only one try. Nothing very fancy about it, just a really wonderful little sit down place, surrounded by fascinating Middle Eastern families discussing their weddings, truant sons, and princess daughters. Quick service, excellent food, and yes, a rolls Royce or two waiting outside. But for us, our bicycles. We will absolutely be back, even if it means braving the night-time hordes that turn Brompton Street into little Dubai. read more

The best Lebanese food in London. This restaurant has the most amazing range of typical Lebanese staples. All of their ingredients are super fresh and the quality of the food is outstanding. If when you go you are in a rush or just don't want to sit and pay, go directly to de deli and get a kebab to go, its pricy but you won't regret it. Otherwise if you have time and a little more money to spend, have a sit and enjoy the glorious food. I recommend you get the lunch box for two. It has approximately seven courses, including dessert and the sweets here are fantastic. read more

Maroush II - Middle Eastern Near Me - London, XGL

I come here once a month and I believe they have the best lambs shawarma in London! I make them put extra sauce on it with pickles and tomatoes and sweet peppers. Today I managed to eat three but my record is for four:) are usually have it with mint tea tea which is very fitting! At the end of the meal you will be served some fruit and some sweet cakes which I find wonderful. I have also eaten other things here which are also nice but the lambs schwarma is definitively the best! read more

Best meal we've had in London, which has a reputation for terrible food. The food here, however, was exceptional. Amazing flavour, and okay on price. The service was quick and polite. We had the Business Sampler Plate between the 2 of us and it was a nice amount of food for a light dinner. read more

Linen tablecloths! Huge bowls of mouth watering fresh vegetables. Delicious plates of dips and spreads. And all that to nosh on just as we reviewed the menu. Service and attention to detail was high caliber. Our host patiently offered suggestions and explanations of numerous dishes. Each dish was presented beautifully. Portions were quite large and very tasty. We planned on having dessert at their next door ice cream location, but were too full from dinner. All around wonderful. read more

Beauchamp Place is terribly posh. The people are posh and the prices are posh. Maroush is a restaurant on Beauchamp Place that cooks Lebanese food. Kebabs to you and I. So of course the kebabs have to be posh. I'm somewhat of an East End London boy so I don't really belong in West London and it may be the reason I don't like it. Maroush is a Lebanese restaurant that has an excellent reputation with the locals, but not with me. It is very expensive to eat in the restaurant, so I don't. I've bought lamb and chicken shawarma's that are nice but small, and for £4 just not enough. A shawarma is a fancy try at a kebab wrap. The service is aloof and smiles tend to be reserved for friends of staff members. I do not doubt the food as it is tasty, but the attitude really puts me off. read more

Yum. Lebanese food has my name all over it. Had a wonderful dinner here several years ago. Love all the hot and cold mezza - hommos, foul medames, lebneh, kibbeh, you get the idea. Since I kind of OD on these appetizers, I'm pretty full by the time the main course arrives. My husband loves raw kafta so we had that as well as fattoush salad (one of my favorite things). Next time we have to try to the lahem pizza! As I am not a fan of rosewater, the baklawa was delicious but I do want to try the ossmallieh next time. read more

FALAFEL When I think of a good falafel, it's all about texture. You have a moist center with a crunchy crust. Simple enough right? Not necessarily so. I've been to way too many Middle Eastern restaurants that get it wrong (overly mushy, borderline wet). Maroush gets it done right. TABBOULEH They use flat leaf instead of curly leaf parsley, which makes a big difference as flat leaf has a stronger flavor profile. LAMB SHAWARMA Sometimes I find lamb to be a bit too gamey for my taste. I'm not sure what they do here, but I found their lamb to be fantastic. Just thinking about it makes me want to hop on a train and head over there right now! ADDED TOUCH At the end of the meal, they give you a small complimentary plate of sweets. If my boyfriend and I weren't running out of time, I would have ordered a full serving. OVERALL This place will not disappoint. read more

Get the check, a 4pound "service charge" for each person. I ask what this is for and I'm told "for the seats". I'm sorry it's a service charge to sit down? The food here is delicious if you know what to order. Staff won't help, they just bark "what do you want?" And will leave you alone until you ask for a check. No water, no offer of coffee or anything else. Giant bowl of un-cut raw vegetables? Including whole tomatoes. Sure why not. Enough fruit for 6 people after the meal? Ok. Just so confusing. Felt like they wanted us to leave, yet we sat there for 20 minutes after eating and no one said anything. but hey the food is good so enjoy. read more

You are in London, and want to get something to eat at 2 am? Where to go? Maroush II is where you go. Call a taxi and head over here. It is a buzz on the first floor where people are eating at the bar, or if you want to relax and talk head upstairs for dining. This is a great place for heading out for amazing food in the wee hours of the night. I think we were there at 2 am and had fresh, well prepared food upstairs in the dining room. That they are still on the ball at 2 or 3 am is amazing considering that most of the clients at this point have had a few too many cocktails. We had the hummus, two lamb plates (schwarma and cubed lamb) and we hung out talking after that for quite a bit of time drinking spring water. It was the perfect place to sober up before walking around the block. Great night spot for simple fresh Mediterranean food! read more

Good Lebanese after a late night out I eat Lebanese food so I'm Super picky But if you go here , get a wrap like most do and u will be happy I asked for a normal salad and beef on it Fat posh Schwama and the girl had no clue Asked for sumac and Zatar spice and once again A dumbfounded look Most Lebanese restaurants give u zatar and oil when you site down and pita bread This one gave u pita bread, made no sense read more

Probably one of the best value options for food around Knightbridge. Excellent Lebanese food and great restaurant, both to eat there and for take-away. I no longer go there as much as I used to but this is a perfect late night dinner place as they are open until around 2am I think, which is really rare in London. read more

Maroush II - Middle Eastern Near Me - London, XGL

I came here after reading about it on Yelp, and wow was Yelp right!! This is some of the best Lebanese food I've ever tasted, every bite was absolutely bursting with flavor! I had the baba ganoush and the mixed grill, both exceeded my expectations. I also had a beer with my meal, a Lebanese brand, and it was really good. I'll definitely be back! read more

This place has the most amazing hummus EVER. They charge £2 for sitting in vs take-out, which as far as I know is unique to this location & the Maroush Gardens on Edgware Rd, but it's totally worth it. The food is reasonably priced & my friends & I generally get a bunch of hot/cold mezze to share (usually Spicy Lebanese Salad, Tabouleh, Hummus Shwarma, & falafel. I've made an exception to this a few times & gotten their shish taouk - so SO good. Also, I love that at the end of the meal you get a fruit platter & seriously the best baklava I've had in London. read more

I had no idea humus or baba ganush could taste so delightful! And the Shawarma? Out of this world. The interior could a bit cleaner. read more

I came here with a friend and we had the menu for two. I cannot say I was so overwhelmed that I would queue to get in again and recommend this place to all my friends, but at least the amount of food was very copious indeed. The humous was also quite good, though I was not too fond of the overcooked sujuk (lamb sausage). We ate in the covered terrace, which looks and feels like a cheap suburban converted greenhouse so the ambience was not too wonderful. Service was quite OK, though they hit us for cover charges of £8 (for no reason that I can think of). The Middle Eastern music was competing with some bar disco noise thumping up from downstairs or next door, so it wasn't the most harmonious of evenings. Still, if one wants to be thoroughly fed, then this place fits the bill, especially with the menu for two. read more

My chicken shawerma was phenomenally good. I almost ordered a second just to taste it. Wasn't even hungry anymore. While I was sitting there eating mine, the next 3 or 4 people ordered it. I guess it's a specialty. I'm not surprised. Babaganoush was very good. I liked the vibe. Owners and crew were warm, energetic, busy. read more

Maroush II - Chicken shawerma, babaganoush, fresh melon juice. A treat at 1am. - Middle Eastern Near Me - London, XGL

One of my more expensive Lebanese experiences but wow was it worth it. Got a bunch of small plates to share. Hummus was spot on. My brother really wanted falafel and that was just amazing. Shawarma was some of the best I've had outside of the Middle East. Definitely a place to go. read more

I have been to Maroush a few times with friends, I am a very fussy eater and do tend to stick to 'traditional english' food, as i am not great trying new things. (I didnt eat chinese until last year! And still havent worked up to Indian yet lol) But this was a lovely meal. The waiters are so helpful, they even chucked in free drinks and other dishes etc because we had spent so much, and my friend was a regular. The food was very nice, although i was a bit scared to try it, it all tasted gorgeous and definatly worth going back, I was expecting the price to be very OTT as the restaurant was very well presented and in a great location in London, but i was so shocked by how cheap it was! A great night out, would definatly recommend. read more

If Lebanese food has a spirit.... Then it's name should be Maroush.... Excellent Shawarma.. beiruti Hommos and Maroush salad will form an excellent choice for a mid day meal... Outside seating are excellent and the area is quite and not as busy as nights bridge... read more

Maroush II - The entrance to the restaurant - Middle Eastern Near Me - London, XGL

Hands down, the best Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food I've ever had and I've been to countless number of them. I give it five star for food, not service. In my American mind and expectations, it was absolutely ridiculous to ask three different waiters for a glass of water and get nothing until the fourth one brought some. BUT, that's the case pretty much everywhere we've eaten in London. So, it might be a cultural difference between the UK and US to offer water/drink as soon as the customers sit down and offer refills. read more

Amazing food! Amazing ambiance! Amazing customer service. I would especially like to give a shout out to Sergio, the best waiter I have ever seen at any restaurant :) we keep returning bc of how good it is. read more

Quality of food is not as standard. Service very slow and will be lucky if some one stop by. They will take the order bring the food and disappear till you leave. I was not happy from quality of food and presentation. When restaurants charge this much for food, they must pay attention to quality and presentation of food. Sorry I don't usually leave negative comments, but I felt that I have to share my experience so hopefully the management will act. Will never come back read more

The two on edgeware road and the Ranoush on Kensington high street used to be top notch. I remember many a nice evening in those places, although the atmosphere and service are still there I just think the food is missing the passion it had before. Last time I went in I had the Lamb Shawarma, which although was spiced correctly was very fatty and this gets worse if you allow it cool down. The mezes are a bit commercial also, you pay a bit over the odds to eat here and yet it's not the best anymore. There are other tastier and cheaper alternatives on edgeware road, as anybody who goes there knows it's full of lebanese and middle eastern resturants so there is a lot of choice. I just think they might end down sizing in the number of outlets they have in the near future because in this market and with the knock on effect of the credit crunch only the best places will survive in the short to medium term. read more

A few simple words should do it Amazing lebanese kebabs actually a lot more than that spicy leb sausages humous chefs spicy salad chicken livers awsome ,,great place to see and be seen read more

A little piece of Lebanon in London. My Lebanese partner takes me here as he swears it's the best Lebanese food in London. His claim is supported as most of the clientele are Arabic. It's busy weekend evenings and I'd strongly recommend booking, during the week and lunchtimes the place is pretty quiet and you can just walk in. I would choose this place over anywhere on Edgeware road. We go with a selection of hot and cold mezze and the portions are large so be careful! I've yet to find a lamb dish here I didn't find juicy and delicious. They have a good selection of red wines and I recommend their chateauneuf du pape. Upstairs is a formal restaurant and downstairs has more of a relaxed cafe vibe. The service is efficient and the waiters are very patient when I attempt to talk to them in Arabic. read more

The best chicken and lamb shawarmas and hummus in town. I have eaten here (and had takeaway) countless times. It's some of the tastiest food you can find in London. The toum (garlic sauce) is pungent and amazing with anything. The hummus is smooth and creamy with a good level of tahini in it read more

Fully enjoyed the set menu for 2 (hommos, moutabal, tabbouleh, falafel, soujok, batata harra, jawaneh, skewers of minced lamb, cubed lamb, cubed chicken, fruit plate and tasting of various sweets) plus added an order of kibbeh. There was enough food for a second full meal! Authentic, quality Lebanese food. Loved the mint pudding with rose water and crushed pistachios. I'll dream of that pudding for years to come. read more

We sat upstairs,which is I think more posh than downstairs. We went at midnight, and there were still loads of people around, which was cool. The food was good, I especially liked the choice of hot mezze, but be careful- the portions of each was very big! The fresh fruit juice (I had melon) was really yummy. Slight confusion at the end- one of our mezzes wasnt served, and we were still charged, but the waitress did recognise the mistake right away and subtracted it from the total bill so was fine. Good points- ice fruit juices, open late, good atmosphere late at night, nice lamb!!! read more

Im a regular to Maroush restaurants, Beirut Express, Ranoushall !! :) They are all the same network and i can said i love their wraps, hummus but my favourite is Maroush Express in EdwardRoad, they use diferent kind of bread, ;) another good branch is the Ranoush in High Street Kensington. In general, the food is good like the service, and is also reasonably price, is one of my favourites when i'm with hurry and i want something real good ;) Another day i tried the RANDA, from the same company, the same quality but more sofisticate. FV read more

I LOVE MAROUSH!!! All of them! Maroush Ranoush, Maroush II, V... this is my latest brand that I'm fully backing because 1) The food is amazing! Baba Ganoush, their garlic yogurt, spicy sauce, spicy lebanese salad, shish tawouks, omg (again why am I writing myself into a food frenzy at 7:30am when everything's closed) 2) Healthy and fresh! You can order a huge plateful of fresh veggies (this is sad and wrong how hard a simple thing like unaltered veggies can be to find) 3) Complimentary baklava (GOOD baklava) at the end (and sometimes complimentary fruit and veggies - not sure how this works, but I've got it sometimes other times not) 4) Affordable prices 5) They are everywhere!!! Maroush and I just seem to get along really well. Kind of like the relationship I had with Starbucks for so many years (the familiar comfort of knowing what you're getting. Except here you are obviously not getting your venti triple short skinny) Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmaroush!!! read more

I only get take away, so I don't know what it's like to sit down and eat, but the quality is good and the turnover high. There are a lot of spin-offs and sister restaurants of this place (I swear that Ranoush Juice must put crack in their shwarma's after 2am, because they work you up into a frenzy) but I think this location is one of the best. True, it always tastes great late at night and there's usually something amusing going on the later it gets - although, last time, I saw a couple of lads on a bender who had one of their mates suffer a heart-attack while waiting for their midnight special... so, be forewarned. read more

The hommos and baba ghanouj were excellent. Lamb shawarma and kafta khush-khash were packed with flavor and there was plenty of it. Complimentary dessert of fruit and staple pastries. Could hardly walk out, but can only blame that on myself. read more
