    Hands down, the best Lebanese restaurant in the UK! Part of the Maroush group (who are probably the most well known lebanese chain), you get the same quality ingredients for a cheaper price than their proper restaurants. Obviously this cheaper price means less good service and facilities (no toilet, cash only payment). but good is fantastic!

    Have the best chicken shawarmas on edgeware road as far as ive experienced so far! Lamb ones are nice too but i have found juicier!! Nevertheless, a great eat in place with the family, very popular so can take time before you are seated, but the aroma in the air deffo gets the mouth salivating and helps you enjoy the meal when you tuck into that chicken!!!! Halloumi wraps are lovely too :) Thanks Beirut Express!!!

    Awesome food at awesome prices, every month we say we'll try something different but we always end up in Beirut Express. Highly recommend the Fatoush salad and well, pretty much everything on the menu.

    Whenever the kids wanted pizza, i'd get them the lahm bill ajin. It is the most interesting , different, spicy pizza one could ask for. also the maroush kalaj, baked lebanese bread with cheese on the inside. Food here is great.
