Lebanese Taverna • Hammersmith Food Guide
Authentic Lebanese cuisine from family recipes passed down through generations. Mezza, charcoal grills and fresh shawarma in the heart of Hammersmith.
Lebanese Taverna has been a cornerstone of Hammersmith's dining scene for over 30 years. What started as a small family-run kitchen has grown into one of West London's most beloved restaurants, serving authentic Lebanese food to loyal locals and curious newcomers alike.
Our secret is simple: we cook everything from scratch using traditional recipes, fresh ingredients sourced every morning, and the same techniques our family has used for generations. There are no shortcuts. Our hummus is made fresh daily, our meats are marinated overnight, and our bread is baked to order.
If you're searching for the best Lebanese restaurant in Hammersmith, you'll find it at 40 Fulham Palace Rd — a warm, welcoming space where the food speaks for itself.
Every dish on our menu traces back to traditional Lebanese home cooking. Our kibbeh, falafel and tabbouleh are made exactly as they've been made in Lebanese kitchens for centuries.
We source fresh herbs, vegetables and premium meats daily. Our parsley for tabbouleh, our mint for fattoush, our lamb for shawarma — nothing sits, nothing is frozen.
Our mixed grill, shish taouk and lamb skewers are cooked over real charcoal, giving them that smoky, caramelised flavour that you simply can't replicate on a gas grill.
Lebanese cuisine is naturally rich in plant-based dishes. Our hummus, moutabal, falafel, vine leaves, fattoush and bamia are all vegetarian or vegan — no compromises, just incredible flavour.
We're open Monday to Saturday until 11pm and Sundays until 10pm. Whether it's a late dinner after work or a weekend feast with family, we're here when you need us.
First-time visitors should start with a mezza platter — a spread of hummus, moutabal, tabbouleh, falafel and vine leaves that showcases the range of Lebanese flavours. Follow it with the Mixed Grill (£20.45), a generous selection of kofta, shish taouk and lamb cubes straight from the charcoal.
For something lighter, the Chicken Shawarma Wrap (£9.45) with garlic sauce and pickles is a Hammersmith favourite. And don't leave without trying our Baklawa — layers of flaky pastry with pistachios and honey.
