We had an absolutely wonderful experience at this restaurant! The food was delicious—each dish was bursting with flavour and beautifully presented. The staff were very polite and attentive, providing quick and seamless service throughout the evening. To top it all off, they surprised us with a complimentary dessert, which was a delightful touch and truly made our visit special. This place is a fantastic addition to Hampstead's dining scene, and we can’t recommend it highly enough. We’ll definitely be returning soon!

I have been to Naroon now more than 5 times : with parents (with exagerated standards of food quality;) and with international friends and colleagues who all loved it. It has been a great experience each single time with nice food, kind and respected staff and cool vibes and decorations!

Service was very good and food was delicious. My wife and I enjoyed our meal and will visit again or order in if we ever want some great Lebanese food. Tabouleh was especially good and all meats were seasoned and grilled very well. We went on a very cold night but heating inside was very good. Only downside for us was the ambience as it all looked a little too red, but that was personal preference. Still a great dining experience.
