Najma Lebanon

A trip to London is incomplete without trying the Middle Eastern restaurants there! Eager to try a convenient location for good Middle Eastern food, I dined at Najma Lebanon (One Hamilton Place, Park Lane, London W1J 7QY, United Kingdom). An award-winning team dedicating themselves to a cuisine inspired by the acclaimed Lebanese chef, Georges Rahme from IHG Hotels and Resorts in Dubai, this restaurant is known for its meat platters and mezzeh (appetizer) dishes. Eager to try their renowned dish, I ordered a platter of mixed assorted meat. A delicious dish made up of lamb chops, beef kofta, chicken wings, and skewers, the meat was served with a side of chilli garlic aioli and wild rice! A carnivorous feast that promised a variety of flavor, the lamb chops were grilled to tender perfection, showcasing their rich and robust taste, complemented by a slight char from the grill. The beef kofta, with its aromatic blend of spices and herbs, offered a juicy and flavorful bite, while the crispy chicken wings boasted a delightful combination of savory and smoky flavors. Finally, the assorted skewers, threaded with marinated meats and grilled to caramelized perfection, provided a delectable variety of tastes and textures in each bite! The chili garlic aioli added a zesty kick that contrasted the meat flavors and the nutty wild rice was the perfect canvas to showcase the variety! Truly a meat-lover's delight, made even better when washed down with a refreshing Aqua Panna. Living up to its starry name, Najma truly deserves a 5-star rating for its delicious menu, high-end ambience, and professional service! Should you find yourself in London looking for VIP treatment, the hotel and restaurant are both highly recommended!

Wonderfully crafted food - the tuna tartare was delightful, and the pork chop cooked to perfection. The staff were excellent. They were more than happy to accommodate my request of a plate change for the pork chop, as I had an issue with the texture between the contact of the knife on the plate. The only gripe I have is with the Yuzu & Tonka Mille Feuille. While it looks wonderful, the Yuzu overpowers all other flavors in the dish. Else, the entire meal was terrific! 10/10 on starter & entree, 8/10 on dessert.

The service was impeccable, attentive, and very friendly. Service with a smile, indeed. We were so impressed by the beautiful delicious well presented tasting menu dishes, customer service was impeccable, attentive and super friendly! Delightful end to our evening as Alex himself came out to meet us. A must try is King prawn, cod & mussel bouillabaisse, rouille mayonnaise and Hattingley Valley Classic Reserve NV sparkling wine. An absolute gem of a restaurant.
