Noreen

Noreen is a modern Middle Eastern restaurant located in Marylebone, London, offering a refined yet approachable take on the cuisines of the Levant and Arabian Peninsula. Led by Head Chef Mehdi Hani, whose Syrian and Lebanese heritage informs the menu, the restaurant focuses on ingredient-led cooking with dishes designed for sharing. Mezzes, grilled meats, seafood, and slow-cooked plates are central to the offering, with highlights including smoky aubergine, labneh, flatbreads baked in a traditional Tannour oven, and dishes cooked over the Minqala grill.

The interior is calm and contemporary, using earthy tones, soft textures, and organic materials to create a grounded, welcoming space. The drinks menu is curated in collaboration with the award-winning Mr Lyan Studio and features cocktails and non-alcoholic options inspired by regional ingredients like hibiscus, black lime, and Arak. A concise wine list highlights lesser-known producers from Lebanon, Turkey, and the Eastern Mediterranean. Noreen blends tradition with modernity, offering a thoughtful, flavour-driven experience in the heart of London.
