Maroush Bakehouse - London

During my stay in Earl’s Court, I visited the breakfast at a beautiful restaurant that serves Lebanese food. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I ordered the Bakehouse breakfast, which was delicious. The spicy Lebanese sausages were tasty, the eggs were cooked perfectly, and the foul madamas was served with a nice bread. The portion size was generous and good value for money. I would rate the ambiance 3.5/5, service 4/5, product quality/presentation 4/5, taste 4.5/5, portion size 4/5, and price-performance ratio 4.5/5.

Edgeware Road in London has a lot of great spots to indulge in delicious Lebanese cuisine and shisha. I recently visited Maroush Bakehouse and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for simple yet flavorful meals. We tried the chicken shawarma, cheese manakeesh, falafel wrap, and lamb kebabs with rice - each dish was better than the last. The chef was also very friendly and even shared two recipes with me that I can't wait to try at home. I'll definitely be back to try their spicy kartoffels and other offerings on the menu next time I'm in town.

The breakfast at this restaurant was excellent. My wife and I decided to try the Lebanese breakfast, which was a pleasant surprise as we typically wouldn't choose something like that for breakfast. The food was fantastic, with clean and crunchy flavors of breads that we could see being made in large quantities through a glass wall at the back. They served some of the bread hot from the press with the meal. The coffee was also really good and the service was fantastic. I wish I had found this place earlier in my trip, as I would have eaten here every day. We also picked up some baked goods on our way out, which were very nice. I can imagine this place will be very busy in the future as it is affordable, offers fresh food, and has excellent service. The portions are generous and the atmosphere is relaxed and clean. Overall, a great place to enjoy a fulfilling and delicious meal. Thank you!

A complete Lebanese breakfast was on the cards when they see the menu at the maroush bakehouse. it seemed like it was a beautiful hearty brunch. it was somewhat surprising that when the breakfast was served, it was mainly based on brot. in the menu the items were described as baked goods. still it was still freshly cooked and was delicious. a mini zaatar manakeesh was soft brot filled with thymian and sesame. similar to this was the vegetarian lahem B’agine with the same bread base, but with a cheese topping. both brote were freshly baked. the grilled halloumi was perfectly cooked and it was well with the zaatar manakeesh. To make the breakfast a little easier, there was the strained yogurt dip from labneh. a small pot olive and a bit of salad made the selection complete. a basket was warm Lebanese crooked flatbreads was also served.

Maroush has been around for a while now, with locations in central, north west and west London, and early last year they opened the fabulous Maroush Bakehouse. Situated in the heart of Earl’s Court (not the shabbiest area of town! , the Bakehouse serves up all manner of traditional Lebanese Khobez breads, savoury and sweet pastries alongside fabulous Lebanese mezza, soups, salads, grills, stews and desserts. Baked daily by a team of expert bakers and patissieres, the range of delights that Maroush Bakehouse have to offer is pretty tough to ignore. Just walk past the beautiful building and you’ll want to rush in to get your slice of Lebanese cuisine. After being introduced to Gianluca, the day manager, we were served with fresh sparkling water and a delicious fruit juice. Packed with beetroot, mango, strawberry and banana this smoothie was the perfect way to start our lunch. Unlike so many commercial smoothies, it was not too sweet and had a real kick of beetroot at the end. We then asked for a selection of salads and mezza. After about 10 minutes we were presented with two gorgeous bowls of salad topped with fresh pommegrante, moutabal babe ghanjouj (one of my favourite Lebanese dishes , labne (see my recipe here , flat breads and vine leaves. The salads were fresh, vibrant and packed with flavour. The first, fattoush, was decorated with fresh pommegrante and came with toasted Lebanese bread for added crunch. Although the bowl was incredibly full, thus making it difficult to portion out, this salad was my favourite thanks to its huge range of textures and mountains of delicious fresh vegetables. The second salad of tomato and onion came with a vibrant mint and olive oil dressing and was dotted with radish for added crunch. Our mezza was also delicious. I absolutely love moutabal babe ghanjouj so was delighted when it arrived topped with olive oil and more pomegranates which added essential texture. The flavour was beautifully rich with sesame with a kick of lemon for freshness and worked brilliantly with the flat breads. I also really excited for the labne, as I knew I wanted to make it for my Live Below the Line challenge. The texture was a little wet for me but the topping of olive oil and fresh herbs was delightful. Overall Maroush Bakehouse is certainly worth trekking to South West London for. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and found the staff, food and atmosphere really enjoyable.
