23. Where can I find a Lebanese restaurant? p6
London Take-away food:
There is a quantity of takeaway shops for Arabic food in London, especially
on the Edgware Road. After having tried nearly all of them, I can only
recommend one (in addition to Maroush II):
Name: Ranoush Juice
Location: 43 Edgware Road, W2
Telephone: 071-723 5929
Cost of sandwich: GBP.2.50 (US$5) average
Recommended sandwiches: Chicken Shawarma; Mouttabal Sandwich
Recommended drinks: freshly-made carrot juice, it's good for you !
Recommended process-to-get-served: go to the till, and order your food; pay
and use the ticket that you get to give to the cooks. If you are a pretty
girl you'll probably get served immediately ;-).
Note: refurbished in March 1994, the place is now so bright inside that
one needs to wear shades. The eating area has been expanded a bit as well.
It gets really crowded in the summer.

Editorial Note: I have used GBP for Great Britain Pound Sterling, and
the exchange rate is US$ 2 for GBP 1. - I can't be bothered to use
the exact exchange rate.
The PHOENICIA, 11/13 Abingdon Road (Off Kensington High Street)
London W8. Tel: 071 937 0120. The food is
consistently excellent, the quantities are more than ample, the prices are
reasonable and extremely good value, and above all the service is
friendly, courteous. They even speak Lebanese instead of the condescending
French some are prone to. It merits at least one visit every time I leave
this cold country for the nearest I can get to a good Lebanese meal
barring home cooking. Try their mezza!
