Anbar is an Arabic and Mediterranean restaurant at 7 Pavilion Road in Knightsbridge. Its elegant interior uses warm lighting, patterned details and ornate lanterns to create a setting suited to both casual meals and larger shared feasts.
The menu draws on the cooking of Lebanon, Syria, Morocco and the wider Arab world. Cold mezze such as hummus and baba ganoush can begin the meal, followed by hot starters, falafel and freshly made flatbreads.
Charcoal-grilled lamb kofta, other meats and seafood sit alongside aromatic rice dishes and wraps. Breakfast, soups, desserts and hot or cold drinks extend the offer from morning through dinner.
Communal dishes make Anbar particularly well suited to groups, while individual wraps and grills work for a simpler visit. Sesame, nuts, gluten and dairy feature in many Middle Eastern recipes, so diners with allergies should confirm current ingredients with staff.
