Yasmina Lebanese Restaurant is a bakery and restaurant at 18 Western Avenue in East Acton. Its warm, casual setting supports breakfast, lunch and dinner, with freshly baked bread and savoury pastries giving the venue a strong daytime identity.
Manakish comes with toppings such as za’atar, cheese, spiced meat or spinach, offering a quick and deeply flavoured meal from the oven. Hummus, tabbouleh and fattoush add fresh herbs, vegetables, lemon and pomegranate molasses to the table.
Charcoal grills include chicken shish and kafta, bringing smoke to marinated meat served with sauces and a choice of sides. Mezze, wraps and Lebanese style pizza make the menu flexible for sharing or for a straightforward individual meal.
The bakery counter and substantial grill menu allow Yasmina to serve several different occasions without losing its neighbourhood character. It is especially suited to diners who enjoy warm bread, bright salads and generous Lebanese seasoning.
