Abd El Wahab Lebanese Restaurant Belgravia

One type of food I don’t have very often is Lebanese, I’ve been to one Lebanese restaurant before and I really enjoyed that so I was excited to hear about a new restaurant launching in Belgravia called Abd El Wahab. They already have some popular branches in the Middle East so I was excited to see what they had on offer.

Upon arrival we were given a glass of Prosecco and made our way to the table where Sam and I were sat with some other bloggers. I love the decor of the restaurant, it’s elegant and modern with a unique green nature wall.

The Food at Abd El EWahab

The Lebanese culture is to share lots of mezze dishes together, so to start we shared a range of hot and cold starters such as stuffed vine leaves, fattouch salad, sausages and baba ganoush. The fattouch salad was very fresh with peppers, tomatoes and crunchy toasted bread pieces. Lebanese food wouldn’t be complete without some hummus, this was deliciously creamy and served with fresh warm bread, it was hard to stop myself filling up on just this. Another very tasty dish was the cheese rolls, the crunchy filo pastry complemented the soft creamy cheese so well.

Next up was the mixed grill, this was definitely my favourite savoury dish. The chicken was incredible, it had been marinated with spices and was served with crisp tomato flatbread, potato and marinated lamb.

Desserts

We then moved onto desserts, sampling an array of fruit and baklava’s. The baklava’s were sweet with a crispy pastry. The maamoul flake was the star of the show, it looked a bit like a cloud with candy floss on top. It had a floral taste of rose and a sugary sweet taste from the Ghaz El Banet (Lebanese cotton candy) which went really well with the crunchy biscuit base.
