Yamal Alsham Chelsea - London

Prompted by a Groupon voucher, went for a choice of six mezze plus glass of wine. Not busy plenty of space; quite lavish interesting interior. Food was excellent including bread. All well served with pleasant hospitality. Will certainly go again. I was surprised to read the adverse reviews. Those reviewers must have been very unlucky.

We were looking for good English breakfast but it was on Sunday and pub near by did not want to serve us and we have to wait 45 min before eating something different and I though I have honk there is an Italian place near by and the Italian guy working there send me next door. It was an amazing experience as Assam was so professional and caring about our wish… he did not try convince to order something different. Breakfast was amazing and when I had a look about all menù I thought all food it is no over price but amazing value. I definitely will Go back there for lunch or dinner. I would highly recommend the his restaurant.

We went to this restaurant today for lunch with my Daughter in law. We were greeted and service was friendly and we ordered our food. Unfortunately, both main dishes arrived pretty cold. Generally the quality of food wasn’t that great specially for the price. It was served cold as well. when it came to desert they recommended something and we told them that we don’t want to eat too much as none of us are great eaters,especially with dessert. He recommended a half portion, as well as the fact that we already have ordered baklava to share too. When the half portion arrived, we could not believe the size of it. It was enough for six people. We wondered what would be the full portion. We were charged £15 for this. When I complained about this at the end, and the fact that the food was cold,the reaction was non-existent. I have been there a few years ago and I got the same impression then. They just want you to spend more money as they don’t expect to see you again. More like pushy restaurants in touristy areas like Istanbul or similar, with the difference that this is a very residential area and they should be looking for repeat clients. No wonder that they are always quite. Definitely my last time going there for sure.

Starters was fine but main course is too little and very expensive as there is nothing special, i can have same food in any other resturant for half the cost i paid

Dined here as group of four including a young, enthusiastic child! I really enjoy Lebanese food, so will always gravitate to this cuisine and Yamal Alsham is one of the best I can remember. We were able to sit outside, taking advantage of a warm evening in London. However, inside was quite special and with live entertainment in the form of traditional music. Food was excellent with all the usual favourites, cooked to a high standard and with an impressive wine menu including some great Burgundies. But what stood out was the level of service. The attentiveness was off the scale and genuine, sincere levels of service. I live in the home of World leading hospitality management colleges (Montreux) and this is where they should send their students to learn about how to take care of clients and make them feel special.
