The menu had a selection of tapas, including classics like patatas bravas and tortilla, and a selection of mains from the grill as well as pizzas, pastas and burgers. We ordered a couple of tapas plates as starters, and a dish each from the mains. The food was of good quality and prepared well. The portion sizes from the grill weren't as big as I'd have liked, but the prices were reasonable so ordering a little more wouldn't have been a problem. They had a varied wine list, with both new and old world options. I was surprised to see a lot of French wine, maybe because I was expecting a dominance of Spanish and Italian wine given the mediterranean food. The restaurant wasn't busy during our visit, but there was a steady stream of visitors coming in. Service was attentive and we weren't left waiting for anything. Definitely worth a visit.

Really well prepared food with menu that includes many of my favorites from my last trip to Turkey. By comparison, I found that Meydan does not salt the food as heavily as what I had in Turkey and some of the better Turkish restaurants. I find this to be a really strong selling point. You can taste the ingredients. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Meal started with a slaw of mixed veg. The salad was perfectly dressed and crisp. The generous portion of humus (£3 what a deal) was a great way to start with bread. I had the mixed kebab which came out hot and flavorful. I am looking forward to coming back and trying some of the other dishes.

The cook also put his apron back on again and came and made us a nice meal. After a few hours at pub we decided to take a taxi back to the Excel only to realize many of the restaurants around here were already shut. I walked in here and asked if they would kindly serve us a meal and they obliged. The menu is big and has plenty of choice for veg and non veg eaters. The hummus to start was very nice and flavourful and the shawarma from chicken that followed was also very nice. I had takeaway from here one night and it was also quick and very nice indeed. A decent place for a meal in the area and I would happily come here again.

Second night here, and had previously gone to another Lebanese restaurant the night before. This is only 0.6 mile away from Aloft and is 5 short minute walk from the ExCel. I ran pass by it the day before and I was quite pleasantly surprised this is NOT inside of the ExCel but rather close to the dock. Took photos of it so that I'd remember to come for the evening meal after the show. At 9:30, the restaurant was not too crowded. Ordered Beirut hummus and Lebanese sausage to start. For mains, we had lamb stew, lamb shank, mixed grill and chicken kabobs, It was a lot of food, and they were very very tasty. The place is average priced for Lebanese food, and the portions are fairly decent. The flavors are really good, especially that it came with chips (for us Americans, it's fries, but for the little people who grew up with Charlie and Lola and Doctor Who, they know what's what) for the little people instead of the rice. A very nice gesture. Bread was very fresh. A super satisfying meal. An unexpected treat of that evening: there were fireworks off the dock. While in Britain, someone is celebrating Fourth of July like us. I can assure you this never happens in France over Fourth of July. As happy as it can be.

Not an overwhelming drink menu, which was kind of nice and made it easy to pick something local (my one choice). Sadly they were out of bruschetta (why was I ordering that anyway) so I settled for olives to accompany my lamb chop and vegetables. All was cooked perfectly and the 10-mile run also required creamed spinach. Those vegetables come in a hot skillet which was a nice touch. I've had more favorable lamb but still everything paired well and did the trick, as I was completely full for once. Mostly empty since a Monday, but a nice ambiance, pleasant evening, and tasty meal.
