Grilandia is a Lebanese restaurant at 19 Westbourne Grove in Bayswater. The dining room uses warm lighting, comfortable seating and abundant greenery to create a garden inspired retreat near Royal Oak and Queensway. Its menu is built for sharing, moving from freshly prepared dips and salads to pastries, charcoal grilled meat, fish and traditional desserts.
Cold mezze begins with smooth hummus, smoky baba ghanouj and yoghurt with cucumber and mint. Fattoush adds crisp bread and lively vegetables, while hot plates include falafel, lamb kibbeh, spicy batata harra and small lamb sausages. Mixed platters gather several dishes around fresh Lebanese sesame bread and are an easy introduction for a table.
The charcoal grill prepares shish taouk, lamb kafta, chicken wings, lamb cutlets and tender baby chicken. A mixed grill combines several skewers with rice and hand cut chips, and grilled king prawns offer a seafood alternative. Wraps turn chicken or falafel into a quicker lunch, while grilled halloumi and the broad vegan selection ensure the menu is not limited to meat.
Set menus extend from dips and fattoush through hot mezze to a mixed grill, finishing with baklava and basbousa. Fresh juices, soft drinks, Lebanese coffee, wine and other drinks accompany the food. The generous format, warm hospitality and options for private gatherings make Grilandia suitable for both a casual meal and a longer family celebration.
