Ishbilia is a long established Lebanese restaurant on William Street in Knightsbridge, offering an extensive menu in an elegant dining room. The restaurant is particularly well suited to shared meals, allowing guests to explore a wide selection of small dishes before moving on to grills and traditional main courses.

Cold mezze includes hummus, moutabal, labneh, stuffed vine leaves and vegetable dishes prepared with olive oil, lemon and fresh herbs. Hot selections feature falafel, kibbeh, halloumi, lamb sausages and spicy potatoes, providing a balance of vegetarian choices and richer meat based plates.

Charcoal grilling is central to the main menu, with lamb cubes, chicken skewers, kafta and mixed grills served alongside garlic sauce, vegetables and Lebanese rice. Sea bass and king prawns provide seafood alternatives, while slow cooked stews and baked lamb dishes represent another side of Lebanese home cooking.

The restaurant’s bakery produces flatbreads and pastries filled or topped with cheese, spinach, herbs and seasoned meat. Traditional desserts, Lebanese coffee, private dining and a smart dress policy complete an experience designed for celebrations, business meals and longer evening occasions.

Address: 8–9 William Street, Knightsbridge, London SW1X 9HL, United Kingdom
