Berut Bistro

You'll find yourself on Paddington Street in that pocket of Marylebone where the streets are still quiet enough to actually hear yourself talk. Berut does Lebanese food the right way—the kind where everything tastes like it's been made with actual care rather than shortcuts. The clientele skews local and loyal, which tells you something. It's the sort of place where regulars are greeted by name and the staff move with the unhurried confidence of people who know exactly what they're doing. No faffing about with overly designed plating or pretentious portions.
