Great food, great service. We always come to this restaurant whenever we are in London. The staff is very friendly, and the service is very quick.
Fourth time here. Food delicious as always. Lots of variety on the menu and good portion sizes. Not cheap but reasonably priced for this part of London. Negatives: tables very close to each other and too cramped, we were asked a number of times to squeeze in more so people could pass behind us although this was not possible. This was extremely irritating. Bathroom not as clean as it could/ should be.
Excellent Lebanese food! I highly recommend it. The restaurant is quite small and the reservation should be done early. I will definitely come back soon!
Very nice food - perfect service - had a good laugh with the waiter with the big smile :-) NIce to see many local people. All in all a very good experience.
I visited Orjowan again after 3 years with high expectation. This visit with a group of 9 people did not disapoint us! Brilliant food. Original and cosy. Recommend highly. Will definitely come again.
Nice small venue with efficient and friendly staff. Not ideal for a romantic dinner! The food is very nice but I was expecting better given the reviews and having eaten Lebanese in the Middle East. I suspect Saturday night is not the best night to visit. We walked past on the previous evening and the tables were laid out differently and it looked more appealing.
We went on a Saturday night, and the restaurant was extremely crowded. It was difficult to squeeze past tables or even to take off and put on coats. Most casual would-be diners were fitted in, but some were turned away. The food was fresh and tasty, especially the mezzes, and food arrived in reasonable time. However it took a long time and two reminders to staff to get the tap water we had requested along with our drinks order.
The food and service was amazing. Really enjoyed the experience & would definitely go again. Reasonably priced too. Three of us went, one new to Lebanese cuisine & we all enjoyed our choices & the meals were very generous portions.
Meat tasted dry and pre-cooked. Bread was cold. Service slow despite only a few customers. Better experience last time I came to this restaurant a few months ago.
Great selection of hot and cold mezze, excellent Lebanese wines. Friendly and swift service. Price/quality ratio good. Will go again. Does tend to get full later in the evening, so reservation recommended.
Excellent food. Friendly staff. My second visit and the service is still too slow. I had to chase the staff to get all of our order. Frustrating.
The place was nice (white tablecloths and friendly staff). The hummus and taboule, and the chicken skewer were absolutely delicious. The pita was not authentic; it tasted as if made with sweet white bread flour. There are some spare sesame seeds on top, but this was a major letdown for me. We also had the cheese-filled pastry (hot mezze) and one was cold inside. For a place touted as authentic, this was a letdown.
Lovely staff who smiled a lot and were very helpful. Food was top quality and delicious! We went on a Saturday evening and would definately advise booking!
Good food. Service became very erratic once the restaurant got busy. Would return but order entire meal at start as orders get dropped later on
Seriously delicious Lebanese food. Generous helpings and a few complimentary treats added. Super friendly waiter and very understanding of our delay in getting there. Only tainted by an annoying tipping system which meant that we paid twice for service. There was a 'service charge' on the bill, which came to 12% added on to the bill. When paying by card, the machine asked if I wanted to add a tip (in addition to the service charge). I asked the waiter to confirm that service was included in the bill, and he said that the service charge was for the owner not for the waiters. He was very nice and polite and said he didn't mind if we didn't tip him, enough so that I would have felt guilty if I had not given him a separate tip, and I couldn't figure out how to get past this second 'tipping step' on the machine anyway, so I added a 10% tip. So, effectively, we paid 22% for service. The food was delicious. The meal was good value. The service was great. It's just a pity that one feels slightly 'had' by the necessity of double tipping like this. And having worked as a waitress in the past myself, I'm sure the waiter was telling the truth when he said that the 'service charge' is not passed onto waiting staff.
Very enjoyable meal and the mezze starters were delicious! Staff were very freindly and attentive and only too happy to help and advise on choices. Will have no hesitation in returning.
Good food and atmosphere. Much better than bland chain restaurants that now dominate.
Fabulous food and friendly service. There is a great selection of hot and cold mezzes and so much to choose from. THis is a place I will keep going back to
In an area of many restaurants such as Earl's Court, it is difficult to stand out. Orjowan differentiates itself by sticking to Lebanese cuisine and most of its customers when I went there appeared to be those who went for that, including myself. I enjoyed the opportunity to have vegetarian food and enjoyed Lebanese wine to accompany my meal. However, there is significant competition even in the niche of Lebanese restaurants and this was good but did not stand out within that niche. Service was friendly but slack.
Food was great but service was a bit shaky: Wine arrived after food, water arrived halfway into the dinner,...Reason could have been that it was quite busy.
Really nice Lebanese food with great service. One of my favourites
Excellent service food and pleasant surrounds what more can I say really recommend this restaurant to anyone .liked it so much went two nightstand the trott please give it a try
The food was absolutely delicious! I would definitely return and tell my friends
Second visit just as good as first.food very fresh plentiful just wished this restaurant was nearer to home in Norfolk.we went to trade show at Olympia so was convienent on way back to hotel
We were at Orjowan on a short visit in London and enjoyed our evening: Good food, friendly athmosphere and excellent value for money. This Lebanese restaurant deserves a visit.
Thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Orjowan. The food was beautifully tasty and the service relaxed and friendly. This was a great find which enhanced our enjoyment of our brief trip to London.
We had a fantastic night at Orjowan. The staff and owner were very helfpul (guiding novices through a Lebanese menu isn't easy!), The food was excellent as was the Lebanese Musar Jeune wine. We will defiunitely go there again when visiting London. Fabulous!
great place and great food!!! exqusite traditional taste of the lebanese cusine! feels like home
Just fabulous!! Delicious, freshly cooked, authentic food. And in a nice environment too. I really cannot fault it!
The place is really nice and elegant, staff very kind and attentive to customers. The food was excellent! Can't wait to come back and try other choices in the menu! The booking was quick and so easy!
Quick and easy reservation, quick confirmation. Very good hospitality at the restaurant, good food, superb wine. When things works like this, life as a tourist is wonderful!
The restaurant is cosy and the staff very friendly offering to make any adjustments to the menu that is requested. The food is superb and freshly prepared. It was a delightful experience that I will repeat as soon as possible.
Revisited this restaurant which we previously enjoyed in 2014. Food remains excellent, delicious flat bread from their bakery served with hummus, great starters, super main courses including meaty kebabs, Chicken Shawarma and Kebbeh Bissayniyeh (minced lamb, bulgur wheat, pine kernels). We didn't have room for dessert after this but were given complimentary baklava to finish. Look forward to a return visit.
Fantastic service and food as always. Great local restaurant and quality of cooking throughout. I cannot fault the food or service. The best falafel we have ever had.
We were rather a big party so I was so glad they accommodated us on Friday evening. Their recommendation of the food was spot on, everything was so tasty and we enjoyed the whole atmosphere very much. Thank you!
