Beirut Express
One of the best Lebanese fast food restaurants in London. Located on Edgware Road, it caters to both locals and tourists. Unlike other shawarma joints in London, Beirut Express seats 30 guests but be prepared to wait as there is always a rush for seating. Takeaways are quicker.
But if you do manage to get seating then this is the place to indulge. Ask for their Mix Starters which have a selection of six cold mezze. Follow this up with chicken liver or chicken wings and Arayes. And then go for the mix grill as the main course. They also sell fresh juices and lemonade which are a healthier option than soft drinks.
The restaurant does not accept credit cards so be prepared to pay in cash – upwards of £15 per person if you go for appetizers, main course and a juice.
Halal Authenticity: Halal sign inside restaurant, confirmed by staff (Feb 2014).
