We had dinner here last Saturday and the place was very busy. Most of the diners appeared to be Arabic which we take as a good sign. You get olives and salad to start with which we enjoyed an arak(or two). The Lebanese house red...wine was also very good. They play Arabic music in the background which adds to the ambiance. We had hummus, kibbeh, fattoush, and chicken livers-all of which were excellent. The bread comes warm is delicious and they bring a second one during your meal. The only food that was less than perfect was the mekanek ( sausages) which were over-cooked and dry. The wait staff were all very nice but were very busy as the place was full. The bill for 2 people including Lebanese coffees and service was £160. When we told them it was my partner's birthday, they brought baklava and played 'happy birthday' over the PA system. A little boy came over from a neighbouring table and wished my partner 'happy birthday' which was very sweet and charming. We will of course be back.More

I went here on a Saturday afternoon as a group of 6 friends before a concert at Hyde Park. It was fantastic and the place was full. Our waiter was so lovely and helped us navigate our way through the menu. He recommended some starters...and then suggested he order us a selection of dishes for our mains. All of the food was great - full of flavour, fresh tasting and lots of lovely dips and sides. Lots of the guests were Middle Eastern which must be testament to the quality of food. Location is great for anyone going to British Summer Time in Hyde Park. The Lebanese bottled beer was great and the meal was very good value. Would definitely recommend.More

Fantastic restaurant. We were told by everyone in the area that this was the place to visit. Of all the restaurants in the last 30 days in the UK, this was our favorite. The food was fantastic. Service was great.

Very poor quality food The filo pastry’s had no meat or cheese and only a thick pastry The aubergine starter was straight out of the freezer For a resteraunt in such a nice location, get a new chief

We had a groupon deal to eat at this restaurant, had booked for a special occasion for a family, some had travelled a distance to be there. We booked for 5pm but the restaurant didn’t open until after 5.30 and we’re clearly not prepared. We...attempted to order mezze but options for groupon were restrictive, then we were told some things were not available, leaving choices so limited we said we were leaving but the waiter got the manager on the phone, they said we could at least have the potatoes, so we stayed. Big mistake. Mezze were brought out haphazardly, some were forgotten about so we had to remind them, we had to ask for cutlery, and nobody else was in the restaurant on a Saturday on Baker Street. Was bizarre. As if they didn’t want anyone there. Such a big disappointment and the staff did nothing to help the situation. Please do not go here if you value any kind of service let alone good service. Are other Lebanese restaurants nearby.More

Great spot for couple, families, business dinner. The food and service were excellent. The eggplant/tomato vegetarian dish was fantastic. As was the shawarma hummus and the mixed grill platter. Atmosphere: Lively without being too loud. Good for talking. Good prices.

Delicious traditional Middle Eastern cuisine. I have to admit that I do not know the difference between Lebanese and other sub-varietals of middle eastern cuisine but what I could tell you is that Al-Hamra is very very good. What a prior reviewer probably mistakens for...rudeness, is not accurate at all. The waitstaff is formal...they are dressed impeccably and they are quite serious about the food. They are also kind, friendly and they will serve you with a smile. Specifically, the meat kabobs (chicken, beef and lamb) were succulent, the hummus was sublime, and the feta salad was perfect. Topping it off with a mint black tea and a plate full of baklava that had the perfect balance of sweetness and nuts. Al-Hamra is a winner and it is a reasonably priced alternative in a very expensive neighborhood.More

Visited here on a sunny weekday and we were the only diners in this spacious restaurant at Baker Street. Interior of the restaurant was very cold and we had to dine with our coats on. We went on a deal of 2 courses with a...drink and started with a glass of wine each. For starters, we had the lamb sambousak and falafel which was of a good portion and tasty. Mains of shish taouk came with rice,chips,naan bread and salad was very good .Service was very friendly and pleasant from Walid and Sumaya. Will be back to try other dishes and will highly recommend to all our friends.More

We found ourselves in search of (again) some late-night food and found the options limited. A friend that had previously visited recommended the area as a go to spot for some food. As we ventured into the area, we found several spots that were open...despite walking several miles without finding anything available. They were getting close to closing time, so they had plenty of spots available and we ordered quickly We ordered the hummus, lamb shawarma, and the fish. They all tasted very delicious - I also appreciated that they provided some hot sauce which was very tasty.More

A very friendly atmosphere! A must have original hummus was so good. And also we had the soup of the day lentil also so good. Making a resevation is best bet!

Worst restaurant in london. Horrible service. Rude waiter who felt he was doing us a favor by serving us. Pita bread was stale and hard as a rock. There are far better lebanese places in london. Avoid this like the plague. Hope it shuts down.

This restaurant was highly recommend by local foodies. We made a late dinner reservation and were blow away by both the service and meal. Truly one of the best dinners we’ve had in London, by far the best Lebanese we have ever enjoyed. We’ve had...many of these same dishes at high end middle eastern restaurants in New York but every dish here was the absolute best of its kind we have ever enjoyed. We started with grilled aubergine, hummus topped with shredded lamb, stuffed vine leaves and the crispiest falafel. This was followed by the most tender boneless baby chicken, exquisite chicken and lamb Sharma all accompanied by flavorful sauces and freshly baked pita bread. We ate until we couldn’t fit another bite. Our waiter then very generously complimented our tea with an assortment of traditional desserts that were both delicious and impossible to resist. Can’t wait to recommend to our friends and family. We will be back for sure!More
