You could pop into McDonald’s, grab a takeaway from KFC, or slip into the seats at Nando’s on the Earls Court Road. But Maroush has the same laid-back mood with better food, a comfier dining room, and superior dips for your chips. The big windows all but cancel out the thrum of constant traffic outside, so you can switch off, sink a little deeper into the comfy red leather booths, and be content in your own world of refreshing salads, well-stuffed arayes, whipped, creamy hummus, and soft grilled meats. Even though the setup is casual, the food is very good. We like this Lebanese spot for a solo, lunchtime halloumi wrap and for family gatherings that don’t require an emergency overdraft extension.
