Beiteddine Express is a long established Lebanese restaurant on Clarges Street in Mayfair, serving from late morning until night every day. Its menu moves easily between a quick shawarma wrap and a full meal of mezze followed by charcoal grilled meat. The broad selection supports solo lunches, group dinners and tables that want to share several dishes in the traditional Lebanese style.
Cold mezze includes hummus, smoky aubergine moutabbal, parsley rich tabbouleh and fattoush with crisp Lebanese bread. Stuffed vine leaves, green beans in tomato, aubergine moussaka, labneh and lentils with rice create a substantial vegetarian spread. Okra cooked with tomato and garlic, mixed pickles and freshly dressed salad add further colour, acidity and texture around the table.
Hot starters range from falafel, fried kibbeh and lamb or cheese sambousek to spinach fatayer, grilled halloumi and spicy batata harra. Hummus can be topped with shawarma or diced lamb and pine nuts, while arayes and Lebanese flatbreads bring minced lamb, herbs, cheese or za’atar into a crisp baked format. Chicken livers, wings and spicy soujok sausages offer richer choices before the main course.
Lamb, chicken and mixed shawarma can be served with rice, chips and salad or folded into a wrap for a faster meal. The charcoal grill covers shish taouk, lamb cubes, minced lamb kafta, cutlets and boneless baby chicken, with mixed platters simplifying the choice for groups. Baklawa, knefeh, Lebanese coffee, fresh juice and jallab provide a traditional finish after the savoury mezze and grills.
