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.

Friendly Restaurant with a delicious menu of Lebanese food. Would return again to enjoy the wonderful food. Reasonably priced menu for London and for the borough of Kensington in particular.

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!

Great food with an authentic feel. Very friendly staff and made to feel welcome. Really enjoyed the smoked aubergine and the lamb topped hummus was amazing.

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

Good vibe and atmosphere but the table cloth was stained with wine spots. The food was impeccable. The staff were very attentive and friendly. Wine is a bit expensive there though

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.

Everything we ordered was absolutey delicious, from the Shawarma to the foul madamas. This is flavorful, fine Lebanese food. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere, warm and homey, and the staff is attentive and kind. On our next trip to London, we will definitely come back.

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

Very busy. Excellent food and staff. Shame we were sat right by the door as we had reserved. Good choices on menu. Lots of repeat local clients, always a good sign. Very good experience and no signs of upselling.

The mezze was very good but the staff were inattentive and the mains were not nice. We left most of our main course, big shame. Expensive bill for not good food.

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.

Great food, service and atmosphere. The mixed grill was delicious and the quality of the meat too. There is also a huge variety of vergetariam and vegan dishes too, so it was perfect for our party of mixed diets

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 ;-(

Food is amazing, staff very friendly, we had a blast. Ordered lots of starters for 4, and then two main and two dessert, we were stuffed at the end of the meal and really happy about it. payed 34£ each but didn't complain because we were really surprised but the attention to details when it come to the tasty treats that we orderd

The table wasn't ready when we arrived and the restaurant was packed out, so we went for a drink across the road. We had the set menu. The food was varied and really tasty. Two of the group I went with had never had lebanese food before and really enjoyed.

Great service. Advice given on portion sizes saved us over ordering. Food was excellent, restaurant very busy, tables not large and with little space between. However this only made the atmosphere more inclusive for the multi-cultural clients. Most enjoyable.

The good reviews of this place encouraged us to dine here on a Sunday evening. It is a nice little restaurant. The food was ok, but i have eaten much better lebanese food from other establishments, the service was very friendly, a down side was that all the dishes arrived simultaneously and we felt very rushed, finished our meal quickly and left the restaurant - a little disappointed.

A great buzzy restaurant with fabulous Lebanese food of the highest quality. We had a selection of beautifully fresh mezze, all served in generous quantities by friendly, good-humoured staff. The Lebanese wine was excellent and the main courses and desserts were all delicious. We will certainly be back again soon! Thank you Orjowan!

A wonderful experience in Orjowan. The food was delicious and the waiter/owner couldn't have been more helpful. He even gave us some of the gorgeous baklava to take home with us. Will def be back.

We had a really good early evening meal at Orjowan before heading off to a concert. The food was excellent - the manager provided advice on what combination of mezzes would go together which was good. Our only quibble was that the main courses arrived before we had completely finished our starters, so we felt a bit rushed. That was only a minor thing and we would definitely recommend the Orjowan to anyone.

Excellent professional and friendly staff, food and service truly Lebanese, natural like Lebanese home cooked food. We, party of 4, all tried each other's food so I can recommend the lamb and fish sayyediye and kofte. Hommos, taboule all very good. Good to find a Lebanese restaurant in a good district of London. Thank you, we will be back!!

It was a really lovely place, the staff were really quick to seat us. We had a reservation, which I would recommend doing as it looks like it is quite popular (we went on a Friday evening and there often were people queuing throughout the evening). The food was really good and came quickly considering it was very busy. They have a selection of Lebanese wines to choose from and are worth trying. We had a wonderful rosé to go with the food. The staff were really attentive and friendly. It made for a lovely evening. Worth noting that the restaurant is quite small with a lot of tables but not uncomfortably so for myself or the other diner who was with me.
