The Cedar West Hampstead is a Lebanese restaurant at 202 West End Lane that has served the neighbourhood since 2015. Vintage furnishings, wooden tables and a warm, informal welcome create the feeling of a family dining room where guests are encouraged to settle in and share food.

Cold and hot mezze provide the natural starting point, with dishes such as hummus, moutabal, tabbouleh, vine leaves, sambousek, fatayer and kibbeh. Fresh herbs, pulses, aubergine, yoghurt, tahini and crisp pastry bring contrast across a selection designed to be passed around the table.

Grilled kebabs and other meats can be paired with rice, salads and warm bread for a more substantial course, while dishes such as mujaddara show the comforting role of lentils and grains in Lebanese home cooking. Vegetarian choices are woven throughout the menu rather than treated as a small separate section.

Breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner service make the restaurant useful throughout the day, and wine and cocktails suit a longer evening meal. Sweet pastries and Lebanese desserts offer a traditional finish, while the downstairs private room provides additional space for family celebrations and group gatherings.

Address: 202 West End Lane, West Hampstead, London NW6 1SG, England
