Al Arez has three restaurants in London and on a recent visit, my husband and I ate at each of them. What a great find they were! We were seeking a welcoming and casual place with healthy food choices in a location convenient to our South Kensington hotel and these easy, friendly and busy spots were a great solution. Great service, good prices, and the best lentil soup I've had in years. At each meal we shared starters and then main courses like falafel or kebabs or chicken shawarma so we could explore the generous menus. Good for families, singles, or couples.

This is my favorite place to eat when I come to London. The food is excellent with great service. It is located right across from Harrod's so usually I eat and shop. I usually eat chicken shawarma and lentil soup. The ambiance is clean and very quiet. I strongly recommend and will be back for sure. Thank you

Very tasty! Loved the humus and the lamb kabob. Mix chicken and pam shawarma was also delish !!

Al Arez is a casual Middle Eastern restaurant with multiple locations around London serving up wraps, shawarma platters, and more. The mixed shawarma platter was ginormous and delicious--I left totally stuffed. The wraps are ok if you want something smaller or for takeaway. Overall a nice option for tasty Middle Eastern cuisine.

Pocket friendly and super tasty! I really enjoyed my chicken wrap- It comes in large and small - the small is more like a medium. I was full. You must get the cauliflower side dish (I think it's lightly fried with lemon).

Definitely delicious all around! I had both a chicken and a lamb shawarma, which I now partially regret... because I ate too much! Haha! The chicken shawarma was my favorite, but I'm not a huge fan on any lamb not called gyro anyway, so the fact I enjoyed it at all was a surprise. Both were the smaller £4 variety but when they arrived I swear they made a mistake and gave me the large. Nope. I'm now scared of how large their larges are! For £8 I walked out like the marshmallow man in Ghostbusters. Totally stuffed! My wife had some other side dish that was decent. Delicious sauces on everything!

This is a tiny place, definitely not fine dining, but the food is just so good! They have seating upstairs. The space is tiny but comfortable. I have eaten here a couple of times and taken away shawarma rolls at others. They have a lot of items that aren't easy to find in other Lebanese places. When you eat in, you get complimentary pita bread, garlic dip, tomato dip and baklava at the end. I love their mahammara, it amazed me to find jallab (a drink with rose, pomegranate, pine nuts and other stuff in it) that is amazing even though it's made from a commercial syrup. Their potato starter and chicken wings are good too. I prefer their chicken over the lamb shawarma as it's juicier and softer. Personally, I like to order a lot of starters rather than a main course at Lebanese restaurants. I find the starters are often better flavoured than their grilled meats. But this is a personal preference. However it also means that I have never tried the mains here, so I wouldn't be able to recommend something in particular. Washrooms downstairs are adequate and they offer hookah on the outdoor tables (with blankets to use for the cold days) I often head here after visiting one of the trio of museums nearby. It's very non-commercial / non-tourist-ripoff and as I said before, the food is amazing!
