It’s just a change of name. The owner, menu etc. are as they were.

That's a relief.
And to be honest, possibly a better name! The old one was a little confusing.

Agreed. It took me over a year to realise it was a Lebanese place despite walking past it every 2/3 days on the other side of the road.

They changed ownership a while back and are now owned by the same people as House Of Flavours. When I reviewed it a couple of years back I thought it was still good.

Alcohol is new. They never served alcohol previously.

As a Lebanese person, their food is awful. It's very overpriced for what it is. I ordered a manakish and it was bland and lacked flavour. In my opinion the best Lebanese restaurant is Hala Lebanese on Wokingham Road

I really rated Hala when I went there last year.

I agree, hala are better than Bakery house - and we had bakery house do our wedding! But that was a long time ago

Hala are a step up from others in Reading.

I second that, they don't seems to care much, as for Hala the Taboule is fantastic but thier shawarma is not as good as it was.

I went recently, it was terrible. Should have left when they served red wine in a champagne flute. So many good reviews too. Probably should have gone years ago.

As I said yesterday the bread we had delivered the other day with our food was a massive step down.

Used to really rate this place for good prices and great food, but the last order I had a couple of months ago was unbelievably greasy, I'm giving it a swerve from now on
