Great Lebanese food. We are vegetarian / vegan and there were plenty of delicious options for us. The restaurant was busy all evening too, so we were clearly not the only ones who enjoyed the food there.

Good quality authentic Lebanese food. The service was friendly and efficient and we had a lovely evening. We had the set menu for two, which gives you lots of variety. Be aware the portions are very generous, so you won’t go home hungry!

We were a party of 7, and all of us were really happy about the food and it's quality. All the hot mezze were simply delicious, i discovered an aubergine dish (cold mezze) which i will definitely try at home. As usual, i haven't been disappointed and i'm always happy and confident to bring friends to this little gem. Thank you .

First time there, delicious food. The 4 of us all loved what we ordered. The only downfall is we were at a table near the door and it was a slightly chilly that night.

Excellent restaurant! We have been to many Lebanese restaurants in London and this one is really first class! Fresh, delicious and above all GENEROUS helpings of fabulous food and wine, all brought quickly with great service and a lovely casual, easy atmosphere. It's a favourite with our family and friends, and we always enjoy ourselves at Orjowan! Can't wait to go back!

The food is fantastic, especially the cold mezze, and service is friendly. I would have given a 6 rating except that we had to remind the waiter to bring our bread in order to eat our hummus, etc. It was very hard to stare at those mouth-watering mezze for 10 minutes without the bread to eat it!

This was the first time we had been, the staff were attentive and very knowledgeable, even suggesting alternatives to our Meze choices where he thought they were not good matches. The food was excellent and the dolmades especially were excellent, as were the olives and smoked aubergine. I can’t recommend this place enough, it is going to become our regular restaurant when we visit London

The food was divine. We had a table of four. The waiter recommended we have 6 starters and 2 main courses to share between us and he was spit on. The 6 starters gave us the opportunity to try various dishes and the two mains came with rice. We had a beautiful bottle of red Lebanese wine to accompany the meal and all cost a very reasonable €40 per head. Superb value for this quality establishment with very helpful staff. Dinner was rounded off with Lebanese liqueur and coffees all round. It was the first visit for most of us to a Lebanese and if they are all this good, we’d be eating there every week. Take a bow Orjowan!

I am never disappointed when I visit Orjowan. I visit a lot of Lebanese restaurants around London and Orjowan is on my top 5 restaurants to eat at. Would definitely recommend, its relaxed, friendly, they don't rush you and the food is full of flavour.

My partner is vegan. The staff could not have been more helpful. Our host recommended dishes that were suitable - she was helpful and kind and all the staff likewise. The food was amazing in a great, authentic atmosphere. I would travel miles to go again - brilliant!

Had been looking forward to eating here but the food was not pleasant. None of our party enjoyed their main meal - the chicken shwarmas in particular, were served with the fat on the meat, pink and some pieces clearly undercooked! Service was also inattentive unfortunately. We did receive complimentary baklava though, which was lovely

Just fab food, I'm a veggie and the choices are limited but it doesn't matter as they all look great - I went for the moussakka and bread on the side, absolutely wonderful. Large portions, be hungry! Lebanese Chardonnay was delicious.

This was my first visit to Orjowan and it was an underwhelming experience. The service was not patchy and not at the professional level I expected. Overall, the quality of the food was reasonable, but nothing more than that.

Little place tucked away with awesome food and big flavours. Not sure it's possible to choose a bad dish. Would recommend a selection of meze and share rather than a big main dish

The food here is always so delicious! The service is sometimes a little slow but that's because it's usually very busy. A great restaurant that we will go back to.

For a Lebanese restaurant it was on the verge of "ok"; food was acceptable (but expensive for what it was , not the mains but the appetizers/mezzah , and that's what constitutes the backbone of the meal) portions stingy (especially proteins like yoghurt - labneh etc, less than 50gr per bowl when we were charged almost 6 pounds for it) but what was annoying was the Maitre D's arrogant style of service and mood when we ordered (pushing for expensive wine etc), last but not least I've never been to a restaurant in London where we were literally pushed out when we finished our meal (they were collecting glasses whilst we were still sitting down !) Shame ;-(

Brilliant. The best lebanese I've had in years. Friendly service as well. I'll definitely be going back. And I've already told my friends they need to go.
