LEBANEAT REVIEWS

I'm glad we discovered this little hidden gem in Durham Town. The menu was interesting, the food fresh and brilliantly made and the service above standard. If you're bored of the usual fare try Lebaneat... You'll not be disappointed!

We had an absolutely delicious lunch at Lebanese. We were in a bit of a hurry (sadly because I could have stayed a lot longer) and Ahmed, the manager, got us in and out super-quick while being friendly and welcoming. Great menu with some delicious wine too — if only we could have stayed longer. I very much hope to be back soon.

Amazing tasting food. I would highly recommend this place and I'll certainly be returning when next in Durham.

YANNIS GREEK RESTAURANT REVIEWS

Food is really tasty we got chicken saganaki and a gyros wrap, both were really good. For desert I got Kataifi it was my first time trying it and I was impressed. The restaurant is cash only which we didn’t realise until we got there but there’s a cash point really close.

Whenever I'm in the northeast I make sure I pop in. It's simply the best Greek food I've had anywhere other than in Greece. Service is great, food is absolutely exquisite and thoughtfully presented. It's also very reasonably priced so is well worth a visit. I heartily recommend the Gyros and Souvlaki

Absolutely beautiful meal with my hubby. I had moussaka. Hubby has chicken shawarma wrap with chips and a plate of gyros, which was by far the nicest out of the 3 dishes! We also brought home some orange cake for dessert.... amazing service and outstanding food!!

EL PINCHO REVIEWS

Probably if not the best afternoon tea I have had, there was a massive amount of food, very well presented and the taste was exceptional. Staff were lovely and smiley and made sure everything was perfection. I would recommend this place 100% for afternoon tea. Pricing was perfect and I will be going back. Keep up the good work and well done. Outstanding!!!!!!

Stopped here whilst having a day trip to Durham. What a cracking place, we sat outside near the river, on a warm sunny afternoon. Some refreshments and some awesome food. Will definitely recommend and come back when next in the area.

Food Wow! I thought being a city it would be OK shocked me in the best way possible, ALL freshly made, Beef Stifado blew me away, Meatballs (homemade wow) de lish, even dirty fries real potatoes n the cheese combo on top mmnnn, DEFINITELY a return is happening. Service impeccable nothing is too much bother. Great place
