Ishbilia

For a spot of Arabian nights visit Lebanese restaurant Ishbilia, in Knightsbridge. Attracts lots of business types at lunchtime but in the evening it is very romantic with low lights and stylish decor naturally enough from the Lebanon. Live Arabic music Thursday, Fridays and Saturdays in the winter and every day for the summer. What's cooking? Hummous, tabouleh, moutabel - baked aubergine with sesame oil and lemon juice, grilled halloumi cheese on Lebanese bread, minced lamb served with toasted bread with yoghurt and pine nuts. Comprehensive wine list including the excellent Lebanese wine Chateau Musar.
