   Right outside South Kensington station, near the V&A, Natural History Museum, Imperial College and the RCA. Hands down the best lamb rice dish around. I’ve loved this place for many years. Authentic Middle Eastern flavours, but perfectly balanced. Not heavy, not gamey at all. The lamb is slow-cooked until incredibly tender, soft, and deeply flavourful. Perfect comfort food for winter. It comes with aubergine, cashews, almonds, peas, potatoes, and cauliflower. Nutritious and satisfying. Finished with a fresh mint/dill cucumber yoghurt sauce that brings everything together beautifully. Rich layers of flavour without being overwhelming. I could eat this forever. Restaurant: Al Arez Dish: Stuffed Lamb Highly recommended if you’re visiting the museums nearby.

   As always, the food is outstanding! I had the hummus and the Kafka. Both were superb. I highly recommend Al Arez for your next Lebanese food fix!

   I’ve been to many Middle Eastern places around London and this was the best lamb wrap ever. And the best food I’ve eaten around South Ken. £8, not big but enough. Juicy, barbecued lamb and this one comes with tahini based sauce which is quite unusual but it was incredible. Not much salad but it works. Really worth asking for the separate chilli sauce (free).

   The food here is simply excellent the meat is tender and full of flavour, and the shisha is top-quality. The staff are genuinely kind and respectful, which makes the whole experience even better. What I particularly appreciate is that the prices for shisha are very fair, especially for locals. A place well worth visiting.

   Came here for many times already, ordered Chicken liver and Halumi cheese every time. They go amazing well with their bread, the bread is the soul of chicken liver and halumi cheese, hope someone could get this point. The staffs are super polite and friendly, especially Hassan, he literally make our dinner experience nice every time.

   The lamb rice was really good, the aubergine stew not so much (there was almost no aubergine, just potatoes). Food prices are fair and outdoor seating is a plus. But 30 gbp for shisha is a bit too much….

   Loved the food. Took me back to the Middle East. Portions were very good. Loved their arayes and shawarma. The salad that came with the baby chicken was delish!

   Very good food, but the standard was off in seperate dishes. The shawarma platter was definitely better than the shawarma wrap. The starters were really good

   This is the 2nd Al Arez we've eaten in and the food was just as good as we remember! Lamb was tender and flavourful, hummus was delicious and kibbeh was fabulous! Wonderful Lebanese food! Always a winner. Seating both inside and outside. Efficient staff.
