Absolutely divine! We ordered the Zahli banquet for two. The salads were crisp and fresh packed with zesty flavour. The seafood was gorgeous and buttery tender. The meats were so tasty and succulently tender, the entire meal was so flavoursome, we were oohing and ah’ing all night. If you love Lebanese food, Zahli is an absolute must try venue. Ps the breads and dips are so damn good too!

Really enjoyed the crispy bread, the dips (especially babaganoush), the fatoush salad, the meat shaboushek, and the deliciously tender kofta. It is a must for those looking to indulge in Middle Eastern cuisine.

Service was exceptional, food excellent, though I found the chargrilled baby octopus a little bland. Thankfully the lemon helped! Shawarma lamb made up for it.

Very noisy, we were seated at a big round table which made it difficult to converse. Our table was right by the drinks service station and staff were continually squeezing around to get to the wine shelf. Staff were good, food was fine and plentiful.

Tasty food, very helpful waitresses. But absolutely deafening noise when the belly dancer came on for a very long 15 minutes. It was IMPOSSIBLE to hear your companions speak. So loud it hurt my ears. The food was good but I certainly wouldn't return. Really, really intrusive into a good night out.

We shared a fatoush (very good) and a superb mixed grill. The meat was as tender as possible and the preparation exactly right. The plastic/leather bench seats need a good scrub...they are sticky and soiled.

Everything was good. Staffs were friendly and attentive. Restaurant has a warm atmosphere. I recommend to try its lebanese coffee and tea. The only negative point is that this restaurant is a bit pricy.

Our second time to Zahli and again it didn't disappoint. First time was before the theatre, last night was more leisurely and we had the Mediterranean Banquet which was lovely. A lot of food so a little doggy bag to take home. Chicken skewers were lovely and tender and lemony. All the food is very tasty and fresh. The owner came around to see how everything was and we've always found the staff attentive. We'll be back.

My 4 guests and I enjoyed our pre-theatre Zahili banquet. Our hostess was most helpful and since my quests had recently been to Solvakia and since she was from Slovakia she interacted with them which added to the dining experience.

The food and service are excellent. Really great food, we ordered the Banquet with Meat, everything was very good, quite hard to pick out something in particular. The Massaya wine from Lebanon and the Al Maza beer served Mexican style are must haves.
