There are better Lebanese restaurants out there and this was not value for money and had poor service.

The look of the restaurant is nice and we got seated quickly but then the waiting began. We waited ages to get our order taken and at all points during the evening it was very hard to get the waiting staff's attention, they didn't have many people serving which didn't help and in a restaurant that size you expect it to be adequately staffed.

We were having a mix of starters to share, and the waitress told us that we had not ordered enough food, knowing other places we've eaten at I thought we'd be fine but the portions were tiny, and the lady fingers puny. The mixed dips was a rip off, and the coriander potatoes too acidic. We continued waiting for bread and our salad, at last when we got the waitress' attention we asked 'does bread come with these dips' and she looked a bit confused and said 'oh, yeah' and we asked for our salad again. The bread came, the salad never did.

Belly dancing was fun but went on too long so don't go here on a Friday if you're looking to chat with your friend, and they seemed to run an advert over the loud mike which was cheap.

On leaving I asked for the salad to be removed from our bill, the waiter then blamed the girl who had been our waitress as she was new. This only added to my poor impression of the place, you just apologise, you don't blame individual members of staff and if they are new you train them!

Won't be going back, much better Lebanese restaurants out there.
