Al Arez South Kensington is a Lebanese restaurant at 5 Harrington Road, moments from South Kensington station and the area’s major museums. It brings the group’s emphasis on Lebanese hospitality and generous traditional food to a central location with indoor and outdoor dining.
Cold mezze offers a broad introduction through hummus, moutabal, tabbouleh, fattoush and stuffed vine leaves. Warm pastries, falafel, grilled halloumi and other small plates provide contrasting textures, making it easy to assemble a shared opening course for the whole table.
Shawarma and charcoal grilled meats form the heart of the larger dishes, with lamb and chicken served alongside rice, bread, salads, pickles and garlic sauce. Mixed grills allow diners to compare several preparations, while vegetable dishes and salads give the meal freshness and balance.
Fresh juices, Lebanese sweets and hot drinks extend the experience from breakfast through to late evening. The branch also has an outdoor shisha area and a basement space for group bookings, supporting birthdays, family gatherings and other celebrations as well as everyday meals.
Address: 5 Harrington Road, South Kensington, London SW7 3ES, United Kingdom
