Beirut Garden is a Lebanese restaurant at 218-220 Shaftesbury Avenue, close to the British Museum, Covent Garden and Soho. Its central location and relaxed atmosphere make it a convenient choice for lunch, dinner or a meal before a nearby theatre performance, with dine in, collection and delivery available.
Cold and hot mezze provide an easy way to begin or share a meal. Hummus, moutabal and tabbouleh sit alongside falafel, kibbeh and batata harra, combining chickpeas, grilled aubergine, herbs, sesame, lemon and warm spices in dishes that reflect the freshness and variety of Lebanese cooking.
The main selection centres on shawarma and grilled meats, including lahem meshwi, shish taouk and kafta. Chicken, lamb and minced meat are seasoned and cooked for a savoury finish, then served with rice, salad, sauces, pickles or bread, while vegetarian plates give groups plenty of flexibility.
Traditional sweets bring the meal to a rich conclusion, with assorted baklava, warm knafeh and milk pudding among the familiar choices. The combination of mezze, grills, wraps and desserts works equally well for a quick meal or a shared spread, and the restaurant’s long daily opening hours suit both visitors and local diners.
