And the best restaurant in Kennington is… Not this, or not as far as we know – we’re announcing our no. 1 on Wednesday.

This is a new Lebanese delicatessen that has opened near Mimosa at the West Kennington end of Kennington Lane. Unlike Mimosa, it’s open seven days until 10pm. Or so it says on its sign, but when we tried yesterday afternoon, the door was locked and a young child was sat behind the counter. Nonetheless, we’re excited by the prospect of homemade Lebanese bread, humus and cakes, and fresh fruit and veg. Others may go for the halal meat (there was a chicken spit roasting in the doorway yesterday).

We are big fans of Lebanese food – Le Comptoir Libanais is the one chain restaurant that we would welcome to Kennington, but hopefully this will do in the meantime.

Has anyone been when it’s open? And does anyone know what it’s actually called?
