It took ages to get served and service was rushed and it was freezing outside ! Sat too close to others as we could hear all conversations !

Food was delicious but I think it must be an indoor only venue usually as it was not well set up for outside - no outdoor heaters or anything so it was very cold when we went. Would go back in warmer weather or when we can sit inside though!

It is way overpriced for what it is. Poor quality of ingredients and small portions. The owner and staff are really nice but unfortunately I wouldn't come back for the food.

Great food and even better service! We would go again!

Great food and excellent service

I had a terrible experience the atmosphere was negative as soon as I walked in. The first thing I noticed was the failure of the restaurant to adhere to COVID regulations and social distancing with tables positioned close together. I was originally sat next to the toilets and asked to be moved. I was served my food without any cutlery and it was cold by the time the waiter came back with a fork and knife. I decided to complain however the manager was rude and dismissive and I left without eating. I will not be recommending this restaurant to my friends and family.

Delicious food and friendly service. Food came quickly and was nice and fresh.

Lovely mid week dinner, super tasty and great service. Looking forward to being regular customers.

Easily booked a table for two online using OpenTable. Was greeted on arrival. Service was good, we were given a starter of fresh homemade lentil soup which was delicious. Our food arrived quickly and was hot, tasty and fresh. Would happily return.

We had a horrible experience. Would never go there ever again!! The owners were fuming that we only ordered four dishes between the three of us TO START, with the intension of ordering more later AND also that we only ordered soft drinks, not wine. The owners publicly humiliated us and destroyed our night by announcing to the restaurant that we weren't spending enough money and hadn't ordered enough to cover their costs so we it was not worth their while to have us there. They said their minimum spend was £15 per person, although this is not stated ANYWHERE, and when we calculated how much we had spent, it already came to £18.5 per person. Money was not an issue for any of us and we simply just wanted to order as we went. The man went on about it for rough 5 to 10 minutes in front of the entire restaurant.

The food was delicious but the service and overall experience was horrible. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND this! I have never had such a horrible dining experience before.

Lovely food and very nice atmosphere. Will definitely return!

This restaurant is incredible! The food is like nothing I have ever enjoyed before, certainly within the UK. It's tasty, well done and served with brilliant attitude, kindness and care. Love this place and will keep coming and keep getting our needs met by takeaway too!!

Thank you!

Excellent. We had a great time. Great staff and brilliant chef...

A lovely local with great food. We always enjoy it.

They need way more staff here. Had to wait ages for drinks to arrive and then only once we asked for them.

If you’re worried about Covid and social distancing don’t bother trying to eat here, there were no attempts made at distancing so we ended up leaving as we were not comfortable that sufficient measures were being taken.

It’s a shame as the food looked very nice and we were really looking forward to eating here.

Extremely disappointed with this restaurant and seriously concerned about their (lack of) adherence to government guidelines around social distancing. Upon arrival (I had made a booking for 2), we were ushered to the tiny back area of the restaurant which was absolutely rammed with tables.

The person leading us to our table actually asked another customer to stand up to give us his chair as 5 people were sitting on a 4-seater table. We were sat around 30cm away from the other customers - so no distancing in place whatsoever.

We waited at the table for around 15 minutes without menus or anyone paying us any attention. Seeing as there were only 3 people manning a VERY packed restaurant, it was no wonder they could not keep up with their service.

That, and the fact that no consideration was given for our safety, led us to just leave the restaurant and look for something else. Thankfully there are lots of other lovely places to eat around Balham, otherwise it would have ruined our evening.

Authentic vibe and amazing food! Really good value for money.

This place is a little gem for authentic Lebanese food. Really tasty but rather small portions with no trimmings as you would generally get in Mediterranean restaurants. No bread served with mezze etc.

Service is dismal but worth putting up with for the food. Order more than you normally would as mentioned- portions small.

Excellent service, but we thought the set menu was a bit overpriced.

Cute little restaurant run by a family. The decor is modern and clean, the food was yummy and I’d definetly recommend this place to everyone!

Really enjoy going to Libano
Can highly recommend the Jawaneh and lamb Shish
Great asset to the neighbourhood

Great, reasonably priced food and a lovely restaurant. The service was good, even though they were very busy. Will definitely be visiting again!

It's lovely to see a proper family run restaurant on the high street. The food was fantastic, especially the hummus and the babaganoush! The service was great, we were welcomed promptly and were very well looked after! Will definitely be back very soon! Loved the decor, it was modern but still felt cozy and unpretentious!

Great food, decent portions. Great that you can BYOB, but corkage is a bit expensive at £5 for a bottle of wine. Only issue was that they couldn't find our booking but managed to fit us in anyway so worked out okay. Felt it was a little cramped for social distancing purposes.

Great food and atmosphere, however I was refused my request for a virgin mojito as the kitchen was apparently too busy. I think that the restaurant should instead better manage their booking system or their on duty staff if they are too busy to provide what a customer has ordered.

Lovely restaurant - incredible service and they allow you to bring your own wine which is a nice touch. Food was fresh, tasty and good quality 100% would recommend to a friend.

The place was really lovely, authentic and excellent food and the owner was super friendly and nice. Nice atmosphere would recommend 😁

Nicely decorated.
Understaffed so the service was slow and chaotic.
Was served a lamb shank that was FROZEN in the centre.
Do not recommend.

Very slow service so couldn’t enjoy the food

Had a great dinner at the restaurant. We had a table with lots of space around it which made us feel really comfortable and the food was really amazing. I’ll definitely be returning!

Great food, exceeded expectations. Got a variety of mezze dishes and couldn’t fault any. Would definitely return!

Great food. This restaurant is BYOB for a £5 surchage which we didn’t realise Until we got there but places to by something nearby. Lovely service and the owner is very keen to impress in this new restaurant. It was a little quiet but that is no surprise for a new restaurant under the current climate.

Lovely food & excellent service. Clear precautions in light of COVID-19 which made for a safe and reassuring visit which meant we were able to enjoy our visit & a break from the restrictions. Would definitely recommend & go back

Excellent food in a friendly, family atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

Beaut interior, delicious food, great value for money, lovely owner! All in all would definitely recommend. Excellent dining experience!

Really pleased Libano has opened. We had the tabouleh, moutabal and chicken wings as a starter which were all great, followed by the lamb shish.
I recommend you get down there before all the restaurants are closed!!

Delicious food, friendly service. Juices are freshly pressed as well. Looking forward to my next visit.

Lovely food and service! Definitely recommended :)
