Just a stone's throw from Kew Gardens, Palmyra in Sandycombe Road is a warm and welcoming neighbourhood restaurant specialising in Lebanese cuisine. Relax and unwind in the comfortable black leather seats in the company of family and friends. Attentive service adds to the establishment's appeal.

If starting with a shared cold or hot mezze platter, expect dishes like stuffed vine leaves, thin slices of spicy smoked beef, pickled baby aurbergines, marinated chicken livers and lamb sausages. Salads include tabouleh and fattoush. Hearty mains options such as vegetable moussaka, char grilled chicken skewers, lamb cutlets with chips, charcoal grilled king prawns garnished with lemon, olive oil and garlic and seasoned sea bass baked with tagine sauce make for more substantial fare. Diners can opt for one of the set menus, if they wish. Lebanese beer, arak, wines and spirits refresh the palate.
