Isme had great food!! The lamb shoulder was really quite amazing - fall off the bone tenderness with just enough acidity to cut through the richness of the meat! I think they are still trying to find their feet with service though - just a few hiccups with the wine pour not being a full glass and when we entered the restaurant there was quite a lot of smoke from food prep but no ventilation and for some reason they didn’t open the doors so my clothes smelt like i was by a fire all night. Also they had me and my friend sitting across from each other on a big share table while the music was too loud so it was hard to have a conversation, but otherwise the food was quite impressive. Just needs a few tweaks which i think will improve over time - I would come back!

We have loved JuJus Deli for a while so we’re excited to try Isme. It did not disappoint- the food was incredibly tasty and well presented. The staff were lovely and very helpful. It’s definitely going to become a regular!

Last night, I had the pleasure of dining at ISME, a new restaurant that offers a unique blend of Lebanese cuisine with a creative fusion twist. From start to finish, it was a culinary delight! My absolute favourites were the sambouski and cheese cigars—perfectly crispy and oozing with flavour. However, the sujok dumplings and the cucumber radish salad were unexpected standouts, showcasing a surprising and magnificent balance of spices and freshness. A special thank you to Joseph for the incredible cocktail, Le Beirut—an absolute treat that added a memorable touch to the evening. The attention to detail and bold, imaginative flavours across all the dishes and cocktails were exceptional. We cannot wait to return and explore more of the menu! Highly recommended for anyone seeking a fresh and elevated take on Lebanese cuisine.

We’ve been waiting over 2 years for isme to re open and it didn’t disappoint! The food was absolutely incredible, better than before, food was clean and not heavy on the stomach. Cheese cigar melted in my mouth, the snapper was so beautiful and paired with an exquisite Chardonnay. Everything we ate was better than expected and worth the 2 year wait!
