Levant

Walking down Uxbridge Road, you'll find Levant tucked in among the usual Ealing high street suspects, but it's operating on a completely different level. This is where you come for mezze that actually tastes like someone cares, grilled meats with proper char, and the kind of attention to detail you'd expect from somewhere twice the price. The dining room feels grown-up without being fussy—exposed brick, warm lighting, the sort of place where locals book in for proper occasions but also don't mind popping in solo for a weeknight meal. It's become something of a fixture for anyone in W3 who knows the difference between decent and mediocre Middle Eastern cooking.
