LB’s Lebanese Cuisine is a great place in Oxford, especially in terms of value for money. The food is tasty, satisfying, and reasonably priced.

During my three years of studying in Oxford, I visited this place many times, and it has always been a reliable option for a good meal.

Overall, it is a place I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for good Lebanese food at a fair price.

I have eaten here a few times midweek when I have found myself in Summertown, normally during Oxford Art Week.
The food and service has always been wonderful. The owner is charming.
Lots of treats, savoury and sweet, for those who have a “I don’t what that is … I try one” attitude to lunch. I have never been disappointed.
Go.

The food is good and that’s the main thing - but gosh the two old men in there sure are a grumpy pair. Not asking for much, just a smile to greet the customer would go a long way, pretty basic rules of customer service.

Every Friday I attempt to try a new lunch spot in the Oxfordshire area. LB's has become a main stay for any week where I haven't snuffed out something new. The owners a miserable old boy, but doesn't half whip up a nice Wrap. I once asked him if I could add Halloumi to my falafel wrap and he gave me a look like I had shot his wife...Lesson learnt only buy what's on the menu. 8.4/10 .,shukran

Very good experience. Fresh and delicious food. I also dropped the falafel wrap I was enjoying on the floor. The man serving was very kind and gave me a new one free of charge! I will definitely be back soon.

Great halal option for early risers looking for breakfast in Summertown. Not just that, they also offer variety of vegetarian options. They have dish of the day and their wrap is recommended! Seats are limited.

In Summertown to pick up a clothes alteration and we decided to walk down the street to look for some lunch. I feel so lucky that I turned the right way down the street and found LB's! I had some lentils and rice, and some samboussek, which were great, but my son's wrap was incredible! He had the 'mixed sandwich' with chicken in delicious Lebanese flatbread. It was so big he took half of it home to have later...I went back in for a Lebanese coffee and a maamoul. I don't even live in Oxford but it's worth getting the bus in just to come back!

If you haven’t been to LB’s and ordered a veggie box for your lunch. You’re missing out!

I also ordered the dish of the day for my evening meal. Always incredibly delicious and healthy, great value too

I absolutely loved my first visit here ❤️ I am definitely returning to try practically everything I missed this time.
I had such a lovely welcome and the place was bright, airy and completely spotlessly clean.
See you soon 😊
