When thinking of authentic Lebanese restaurants in London, a few names come to mind,
and Beit El Zaytoun in Park Royal is always one of them. This much-loved restaurant, open
for over eight years, offers a welcoming atmosphere, a scenic canal view, and some of the
best Lebanese food in town. Established by CEO Ayman Assi, Beit El Zaytoun embodies his
vision to bring the heritage and vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean to London, a goal he
achieved in 2017 with the opening of this flagship location.
In 2022, the concept expanded into Lebanese street food with Mayyil – Lebanese On The Go
(www.mayyil.co.uk), a fast-service spin-off of Beit El Zaytoun focused on the rich flavors of
Lebanese street food. Mayyil quickly gained popularity, opening its first branch in
Knightsbridge and a second in Notting Hill within just two years. While Beit El Zaytoun
retained its single location, its reputation soared, winning the title of Best Lebanese
Restaurant in the UK in 2023.
After eight years of delighting guests at the Park Royal location, Beit El Zaytoun is now
expanding with a second branch in Chelsea on New Kings Road. Beit El Zaytoun Chelsea
will stay true to the values and authentic experience of the original location but with a
modern twist to complement its unique space and ambiance. This new venue, with seating
for up to 60 guests, offers a stylish “resto-café” atmosphere and will feature a refined menu
with all the signature mezze and grills that have made Beit El Zaytoun one of the best
Lebanese restaurants in London.
For those craving an extra touch of Lebanese culture, the Chelsea branch will also host
weekly live oud performances, providing that classic Lebanese vibe without overwhelming
the relaxed atmosphere.
With the opening of its Chelsea branch, Beit El Zaytoun invites you to experience its
celebrated Lebanese kitchen in a vibrant new setting—where traditional mezzes,
mouth-watering grills, and soulful oud performances blend seamlessly to create an
unforgettable dining experience.
