Beirut Canteen Restaurant in London

Reviews

1. Sam Greenman ★★☆☆☆

   I recently visited Beirut Canteen in New Cross and unfortunately had a mixed experience. On a positive note, the shawarma was very good – fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavour. However, the lunchtime deal signage outside the restaurant is unclear. The information about the timing of the offer is printed in very small text, which can be difficult to read for anyone with poor eyesight. This makes the promotion appear somewhat misleading and disingenuous, as the actual deal conditions only become apparent once you’re inside. When I questioned the charge, I felt pressured by a member of staff (a short, tubby gentleman) to pay rather than have a proper discussion about the misunderstanding. While the situation did not escalate, it left me feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. I would encourage the management to make the offer details clearer on the outside signage and to approach customer queries with a bit more understanding. The food is enjoyable, but the overall experience would benefit greatly from clearer communication and a more considerate attitude toward customers.

   Very delicious food, and such good value. Had an amazing vegetarian mezze plate for £11.99 that was huge, such a generous portion of incredible food. Super friendly atmosphere from the second you come in. Definitely will return!

   Service was bad, we ordered £24 food for 2, I asked for both rice and chips and it only came with chips, it was a food for 2 and no bread was given with it so again I had to ask for bread...?? But the upside the kebab was good, so I gave 4 stars, sauces were nice but I had to ask for it, I regularly go to Turkish restaurants and you don't have to ask for none of that, they bring it all to the table, it was cheap shop bought wrap bread and when 2 people order food at least give one each..?? Friendly people but a lot to learn how to serve food, I recommended because food was good...

   Cheap and cheerful - if you need your fix of shawarma, grilled meat or halloumi this is the place. Plenty of chips and rice in the plate dishes, will fill you for a night out. Fast service and quite a lot of seats.

   We have takeout from here at least once a week and it’s always fresh and delicious! Would recommend!

   Food was good, my highlights was the Halloumi and chips. The man serving us was very friendly and welcoming. A local of Lebanon and we exchanged stories which was nice. It was a bit cold inside and a lack of heating was a downside as we are experiencing a cold snap in London. My chicken wrap was good and I should have asked for the sauce separately, I didn’t try the falafel but will recommend and visit on a warmer day. Adequate food and priced accordingly. I paid £13 for the chicken wrap and cheese; I didn’t pay for the falafel/chips.

   I went to eat with another geezer a few weeks ago and the chicken was burnt inside and raw inside while the rice was microwaved, dried and with no taste involved. Nonetheless, the lady who served us was really friendly in delivering a good customer service. I think the "chefs" should have more passion and love in what they do..

   I’ve been going quite frequently to Beirut over the last year. This is the best falafel halloumi you could possibly imagine to have. Or at least I ever had and I did try many places. The head chef is such a nice human being and always makes sure me and my partner feel at home. Thank you!
