Abd El Wahab is a Lebanese restaurant at 1 to 3 Pont Street in Belgravia, bringing the hospitality of its Beirut origins to London. The name comes from Abd El Wahab El Inglizi Street, where the original restaurant opened in 1999. An elegant dining room and generous style of service make the London location suitable for a leisurely lunch, dinner or a large shared celebration.
Cold mezze begins with hummus, baba ghanouj, stuffed vine leaves, fattoush, tabbouleh, pickles and other dishes based on vegetables, pulses, herbs and olive oil. Hot mezze includes kebbeh, cheese rolls, falafel, spiced sausage, chicken wings and potatoes with coriander. Ordering a broad selection allows the table to experience the contrast between fresh salads, smooth dips and crisp savoury pastries.
Charcoal grilled meat forms the centre of many main courses, with lamb cubes, kafta and chicken taouk combined on mixed platters with grilled vegetables. Slow cooked lamb with oriental rice offers a gentler alternative to the direct heat of the grill. Fish, jumbo prawns and seafood dishes extend the choice, while the extensive mezze range gives vegetarian diners several substantial routes through the meal.
Lebanese baklava, maamoul, milk based sweets and seasonal fruit provide a traditional finish alongside coffee or tea. Lebanese red, white and rose wines complement the regional food, joined by cocktails and bottles from other wine producing countries. Abd El Wahab presents its dishes in the natural order of a Lebanese feast, encouraging guests to eat slowly, share widely and enjoy the table together.
