General Bilimoria's Canteen - Lebanese Barnes

Lamb kafta and chicken kafta — minced meat with onion, garlic and herbs, grilled on skewers. Taouk is marinated chicken breast cubes, and Lahim Meshou is marinated lamb cubes, both served with hommous dip and grilled tomato and onion. The Mixed Meat Grill brings four skewers together, and Kastaleta is four lamb cutlets on their own.

Chicken or lamb, thinly sliced from a vertical rotisserie and served in pita with tahini, garlic sauce and pickles. It is the dish most people associate with Lebanese food, and it is cooked the traditional way rather than pre-sliced.

Hoummos Awarma tops hummus with marinated lamb and pine nuts. Warak Inab is vine leaves filled with parsley, mint, tomato and rice. Makanek and Soujouk are homemade Lebanese lamb sausages, pan-fried. Batata Harrah is diced potato fried with garlic, coriander and chilli. Order a few together rather than one main.

Fattoush tosses mixed greens, tomato and radish with apple vinegar and crispy spiced Lebanese bread. Tabbouleh is mostly parsley and mint, not bulgur — cracked wheat, tomato, lemon and olive oil in a small supporting role. Both are on the menu alongside Al Rahib, a grilled aubergine salad, and a falafel salad for a fully plant-based option.

We cook in our own Barnes kitchen and deliver across SW13 to Mortlake, Putney, Chiswick and Castelnau, Tuesday to Sunday. We are closed on Mondays. Halal options are available — ask when you order.
