"There I tucked into a feast of warm hummus. The food was excellent, and the Ksara Reserve du Couvent that went with it was the perfect accompaniment."

Seth Sherwood

"Following her lead, I took a corner of warm bread, rolled it into a cone (a nifty trick for scooping up dips) and tasted. It was excellent: lush, mouth-filling, creamy and flavorful - like an earthy milkshake."

Seth Sherwood

"A fine raw kibbeh (a velvety veal tartare). Abd el Wahab is a top destination for mezze."

Helen Graves

"We motored through a vast scarlet sweep of kibbeh nayeh – the national dish of Lebanon. If you’re nervy about getting ill with this kind of thing, then a swish place like Abdel Wahab has got to be your best bet for a place to try it."

Kathryn Romeyn

"Typical Lebanese dishes like hummus are even better here than at your favorite restaurant back at home, especially at Abdel Wahab, one of my favorites from this trip."

Russell Higham

"If you’re after something more traditional, head to Abdel Wahab (Monot) to order a selection of classic Arabic mezze with hummus."

Dorling Kindersley

"Abdel Wahab is a sure bet for authentic kibbeh nayyeh in a charming setting."

Abigail Fielding-Smith

"The sublime kibbeh nayeh (raw meat with bulgar wheat) of the Abdul Wahhab restaurant."

Naina Shahani

"Recommended dish is: fatoush."

Sam Cho

"Literally diving into the silky smooth goodness of the hummus with the ballon bread, along with the cleansing fattoush salad, any lingering remnants of airplane food were expunged."
