Nice hommos, however you care to spell it Houmous, hummus, humus, hoummous, who cares. If we are to believe anyone about the correct spelling of the world’s favourite chick pea paste, we are inclined to go with Comptoir Libanais’s controversial HOMMOS, because their stuff is way tasty. In this well-lit, canteen-style café and shop, with its pop-art prettification and righteous rainbow colour scheme, there are dollops of Lebanon so exciting that you will never again fall back on Zizzi meal deals, myvouchercodes, or leftover Pret sarnies. Once you’ve treated your eyes to a squint at the pastry cabinet, and the beautiful takeaway coffee cups, you will never look back. This is exciting. There is food, so much gloriously cheap food, and it is not intimidating, even though much of it is designed to be shared. Some of the mezze dishes come in threes, and we don’t even mind that there are two of us because we can afford it. And anyway, we can cut the third one in half. The Wigmore Street deli is BYO, and there’s no corkage. But there are exciting lemonade concoctions (apple, mint and ginger, or pomegranate) and delicious coffees in those nice cups, too. Ask for a loyalty card with coffees and wraps. But if you’re dining in, shun lonely wraps and salads, and delve into pile-high platters. If you trust your dining companion, a mezze platter between two is a tenner, and comes rammed with hommos, pitta, baba ghanuj, falafel, tabbouleh, and gherkins. But our favourite is the greedy person’s platter, a platter in the loosest sense of the word – it involves a mezze plate (for one), a tagine (lamb or chicken – for one), plus couscous or rice (for one). It all comes at once in a brilliant table display of selfish deliciousness. And it costs £9. Spend any leftover cash on mint tea, baklava and rosewater macaroons. - http://www.thriftygobbler.com/49/
