Orjowan is a family run Lebanese restaurant on Kenway Road in the heart of Earl’s Court. Its cooking celebrates recipes from Lebanon and the wider Levant, with an emphasis on fresh preparation, generous hospitality and dishes designed to bring people together around the table.
Bread and pastry are central to the restaurant’s identity. A stone oven brought from Lebanon is used to bake fresh bread, mana’eesh, cheese filled pastries and lamb topped flatbreads, giving the kitchen a direct connection to familiar Lebanese bakery traditions.
Cold and hot mezze offer many ways to begin or build a shared meal. Hummus, moutabal, vine leaves, tabbouleh and fattoush sit alongside falafel, kibbeh, spicy potatoes, grilled halloumi and dishes based on aubergine, lentils, beans and seasonal vegetables.
Charcoal grilled lamb, chicken, seafood and mixed grills provide substantial main courses, with vegetarian stews and rice dishes offering further choice. Lebanese wine complements the savoury menu, while baklawa, rose scented puddings and other traditional sweets provide a fitting finish.
Address: 6–8 Kenway Road, Earl’s Court, London SW5 0RR, United Kingdom
