1st time having Lebanese food so we wasn't sure what to have so we asked the waitress about the meze for 2 which had a selection of different dishes which we throughly enjoyed. Also near the London palladium so we had plenty of time for a meal & didnt have to rush. Lovely experience & would try Lebanese food again.
