Of the people who arrived early in London, some went on to start Lebanese restaurants and cafes in the city – it was a way to reminisce about their native food while for some it was a tribute to some great flavoured Lebanese food London. Delicious, tasty, made with some of the finest and most exotic spices, Lebanese food is known for its freshness and taste the world over.
