Just off Shepherd's Market, Al-Sultan is a small, beautifully run Lebanese that has attracted couples and families for decades. The Middle Eastern restaurant traditions, gold flecked walls, white linen, flowers, mirrors and snappy service are all in evidence here, but even if Al-Sultan weren't quite so inviting the food would still win a loyal following. Our absolute favourite thing to do is bring half a dozen friends and order every mezze we can lay our hands on. Let the feast begin. Hummus shawarma with lamb and pine nuts is great, so are the falafel, and kallaje, the kibbeh, and fattouch and the moutabal, but those who know say the tabbouleh is truly great. The wine list is an absolute winner, too.
