the best bread with cheese and zaher I’ve ate and the tea with mint was so perfect
I’ve been coming to this Lebanese bakery since 2009, and it never disappoints. The quality has remained consistently excellent over the years. Whether it’s their fresh manakish, crispy falafel, or sweet baklava, everything is always delicious. It’s rare to find a place that maintains such high standards for so long—truly a neighborhood gem.
The hummus and manakish were absolutely delicious—so fresh and flavorful. The owner was incredibly kind, helpful, and went above and beyond to make us feel special. It’s rare to find such genuine hospitality. Highly recommend this spot for authentic Lebanese food and an unforgettable experience. Will definitely be coming back!
Their service is excellent, kind and generous. The food is good overall, though I’m not a big fan of meat so it wasn’t my favorite. They’re quite busy with lots of orders, which is a great sign!! I might try something new next time.
I know what i am talking about. If you are looking for the real Lebanese taste go for this one. The zatar with veggies is epic , the foul with hommos is outstanding specially with the pickles. The meat and cheese manakeesh are good. The owner and staff are very friendly and helpful. If you are an Arab and you miss your home.. this is a home abroad. Go there and support the guy who's making good quality food and creating good vibes.
One of the best places for Lebanese breakfast and the taste tool me back 20 years to our village...
Best Lebanese Food, Fresh Man’oush & Coffee in Shepherd’s Bush . Zeit & Zaatar If you know, you know, Zeit & Zaatar is the hidden gem of Shepherd’s Bush Road. I’ve been coming here for almost two years, 3 to 4 times a week, and it never misses. Whether you love vegetarian dishes or meat, everything is fresh and full of flavour. The man’oushis are unreal, hot, freshly baked bread you can’t beat. The coffee puts the big chains to shame – proper artisanal cappuccinos and lattes, made with care. It’s a welcoming, family-friendly restaurant where kids and all cultures mix. Sam and all the staff are amazing, friendly, hard working, and they make you feel right at home every time. Great food, great coffee, great atmosphere, my absolute go-to in West London.
A taste of home in the heart of London! As someone who grew up with Levantine flavours, finding a place that gets it *just right* is rare but this one absolutely did. Always greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality you feel like being hosted by family. The Manakeesh were bursting with flavour and prepared with real care. Each bite reminded me of home. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and the recipes come from a place of pride and tradition. It's not just the food though. It’s the whole experience. Zaatar w Zeit isn’t just a place to grab a bite, it’s somewhere you want to return to again and again.
