St John's Wood, Lebanese Restaurant Guide

“Outstanding, really tasty Lebanese food” can be a surprise find at this “very ornate pub” – a beautifully restored, late-Victorian, Renaissance-style gin palace in St John’s Wood, whose dazzling interior was originally supposed to act as that of a major railway hotel (due to the ‘folly’ of the owner, as the tracks ultimately ended up terminating in Marylebone). In its current guise, it’s “one of the few Maroush group restaurants that survived post-Covid”.
