LASplash.com: International Levant Restaurant Review - An Exotic Escape in the Heart of London By Haya Zoubi – Former Freelancer – No Longer Affiliated
Levant restaurant provides as authentic an introduction to a Lebanese feast as you will find in London. The food, along with the unique decor and exuberant entertainment, will transport you to an exotic place far away. The dining room is a replica of an Arabian style palace. Located one level below Wigmore Street in Central London, a trail of rose petals will lead you down to the lively Mezze bar area which features a full bar and seating area to enjoy before your feast. Guests are seated on plush pillows around ornately decorated wood tables, while waiters in traditional garb assist with the beginnings of a culinary journey.
Levant serves Lebanese and Middle Eastern cuisine using the freshest ingredients and traditional techniques to prepare the dishes. The multi course feast, prix fix menu served here can include calamari, grilled fish or meat, fresh salads and onto exotic desserts. If you're a lone diner in search of a quick bite, this might not be the place for you. Dinner at Levant restaurant is an entertaining dining experience that improves exponentially the larger your party and the longer you linger. Enter an exotic Arab world of belly dancers who shimmy around the exquisite bar and dining areas or experience a snake charmer who comes in once a week, lounge around, order drinks and laugh out loud with friends. Levant is also a wonderful place to celebrate a birthday party and the guest of honor will be made to feel like a king or queen in an ornately tiled palace.
If you have a table maximum of five people then you can order a-la-carte here otherwise it is suggested that you experience the fixed price multi-course feast. In the “prix-fix” menu you can choose the vegetarian feast, surf and turf, meat or fish. Starting with appetizers such as hommus, baba ghannuge, tabbouleh, crispy halloum and more and on to the specialties such as batata harra (spicy potatoes), falafel and soujoc (homemade spicy sausage).
The main courses are each sublimely seasoned and delectable. Perhaps it's the atmosphere that makes everyone eat more than they expected, but you'll be thankful that dessert is a simple fruit-and-nut basket, accompanied by warm mint tea poured into traditional glasses. Levant restaurant that everyone should experience whether you live in London or just visiting, it serves up the best food, sexy atmosphere along with excellent customer service.
