Chamisse Lebanese Restaurant & Grill Lebanese Cuisine Authentic food, freindly service, takeaway and home delivery service to Central London. Chamisse is a well established Lebanese restaurant in Central London Grays Inn Road between Kings Cross and Chancery Lane. Chamisse has a takeaway and home delivery service too when you order online or over the phone, covering Central London, The City, Camden and the surrounding area.
The Lebanese cuisine is undoubtedly the most typical expression and taste of Middle East. This is an extremely varied cuisine, characterised by the use of a lot of vegetables, chicken, beef and lamb, dried fruits and condiments made from lemon juice. Also interesting are the fish dishes and excellent hors d'oeuvres of vegetable (mezzeh).

Every single item was cooked with great care and attention to detail. This is a rare thing. The mixed grill was so tasty. You could tell the lamb chop was done to order. Super fresh, juicy and perfectly pink in the middle. Even something as simple as a side order of chips was done with care. Nice texture and crunch to them. The hummus was also excellent. Again, a simple dish but all the more enjoyable when it's of great quality.

I have a theory about restaurants that may just work for me but...If I am still thinking about the meal I had 3 days later it is deserving of 4 stars! We were there 3 days ago and honestly this is the best Lebanese restaurant in London. There were several of us and we all shared so we had many different items and they were ALL amazing!

The best meat I have eaten in my life and believe me, that’s says a lot about their food.
I was with a group of friends and all four of us tried for the first time Lebanese food.
The food was exceptional, the meat very well cooked and big potions of food. The waiter was one of the most helpful and caring person out there, he served us like we where from the family. Nice atmosphere and good, caring people.
There are not words to describe the food and the effort they put in to make the best night for us.
Go there and you will not be disappointed!

Amazing:
Food.
Service.
Ambiente.
Experience.
Just has to be on your list of places to go and support. No excuses. It's healthy, full of flavours and a taste pallet you'll never forget.
Try the Za'atar Flatbread. Try the filled wine leaves, try the hommos and try the tabboule.
Grab 2-5 friends and just order everything you might possibly want to try. You won't regret it.
And don't forget to thank me later ;)

This is a lovely restaurant with really friendly and polite staff. Food was great and portion size was just right! It’s a nice place for a friends to eat together and just chat. Not overly crowded or busy and reasonably priced. I really enjoyed this and would definitely come again. No service charge added to the bill which we definitely chose to tip.

Great food and great service from the staff. As I was not familiar with Lebanese cuisine, I asked one of the staff to order everything for me and every single dish was amazing with detailed description everytime he served the food. Highly recommend to people who want to try fantastic Middle Eastern food.

This place is beautiful decorated and the waiter was friendly. The service was amazing! The food is reasonably price and absolutely delicious.
It was my table's first time eating Lebanese cuisine. The waiter offered to order for us and got Halloumi Cheese, houmous, mixed grill (lamb and chicken), and a mix of tapas. The flavors were amazing and was one of the best meal I've had in London. If you don't know what to get, definitely ask for the waiter's recommendations!
Afterwards, we got min tea and the Lebanese coffee, which my friend said was a pleasant surprise.

This was my first time having Lebanese food and it was pretty good. I've had all the dishes before but I guess they weren't strictly Lebanese cuisine.
The hummus and falafel were delicious. The hummus was creamy and the falafel was crunchy. For our mains, we shared the chicken and lamb shawarma, and the lamb kebabs. Everything was presented beautifully and the flavors were great. I even learned about mixing vermicelli and rice together.
We finished the dinner with baklava. It came in two varieties: pistachio and dates.
The staff is attentive and the food was great. It also helps

We were the first time at a Lebanese. They somehow sensed that and offered immediately help wit the menu. For a better overview of the typical taste of this special kitchen the boss offered something like a tapas and offered to order for us. They even recommended some drinks, that would go well with a the dishes. We definitely appreciate the choice of the food but beforehand they told us, we only have to pay for the food we like, the others are free.
It was the best dinner we ever had. Really friendly service.

The food here is delicious! Totally flavourful and a great variety of tapas or full plates to choose from. Standouts were the meat rice and the haloumi hand dough... and the mamoul for dessert! The decor is cozy and trendy and the staff were so welcoming and attentive that I'm sure I'll be returning soon.

Very friendly wait staff, very fulfilling food, very flexible with bookings. Great music mix, from Lebanese to Latin to Easy Listening to Christmas! (We were there on November 18). Just read the poor reviews and they're definitely outdated. Very clean inside and they use contracted delivery services, so the delivery issues should be directed toward the delivery services, not the restaurant. I don't write many reviews so when I'm inspired to give praise or criticism, it's DEFINITELY an establishment that left an impression with me.

I was quite surprised to read some of the really bad reviews. Perhaps this place has changed managers? Anyways, I ordered from here for a Friday work lunch for twenty-people in the office. I ordered a range of dishes and they were all outstanding. This was one of the few occasions that we didn't have any leftovers and everyone was commenting on how amazing the food was.
I can't speak for eating-in as this was delivery, but the delivery actually showed up on time which is a rarity and the food was great. Since we had such a big order we ordered most of the items off the menu.

Yes, it looks like a kebab shop. Not even a nice one. Order in anyway, some of their food is really good indeed.
I couldn't tell you if they warm Meade is good as I usually only get cold ones. The baba ganoush is especially good, and so are the baklawa. Which is why I keep ordering from them as those are my vourite anyway.
The falafel are a bit on the dry side though and I didn't really like the stiffed vine leaves... So a but of a hit-or-miss.

I've learned my lesson.
I should've read Alex's review before I made this ill-advised order online. Lesson learned, Yelp reviews will lead you to the right meal. Delivery service sites? Not so much. (looking at you Urbanbite.com...!)
Everything was very heavy/greasy/oily. From the hummus to the grape leaves to the tomato/olive salad: all laden with heavy oil almost to the point of being inedible. The falafel was dry and the bread crumbly. Gosh, sorry...I can't find anything redeeming about this order or experience except that the delivery was fast.
