Lona Grill House & Juice Bar

The food

The kitchen describes its cooking as authentic Lebanese, built around grilled main dishes and the spices of home. All of the food is halal, which makes it a useful stop for groups with mixed dietary needs. The full menu is published on the restaurant's website, so you can check dishes before you go. Because the menu is built on grilling and spice rather than heavy sauces, it suits a casual dinner with friends as much as a family meal.

Juices and drinks

The juice bar is half the name for a reason: there is a wide range of fresh fruit juice blends, plus cocktails made with fresh fruit and a short list of signature drinks. It works as well for a long alcohol-free lunch as it does for a night out. The fruit-based cocktails use the same fresh produce as the juices, so non-drinkers and drinkers can order from the same part of the menu and nobody feels short-changed.

Eating in or ordering out

As well as the dining room, Lona takes orders online through its website and its own app. Opening starts mid-afternoon early in the week and from midday later on, so check before planning lunch. Gloucester Road is lined with independent shops and cafés, so it is easy to combine a meal with a browse along the street.
