At lunchtime one is definitely spoilt for choice when it comes to finding something to eat at Westfield. Over recent trips I've had Tortilla Soup at Wahaca, Mezze at the Real Greek, Pho and Bun at Pho, Noodle Soup at Jom Makan and Papdi Chaat at Tiffinbites. Today I fancied Lebanese, so headed for Comptoir Libanais, one of the counters making up the 'food court' on the balcony area at Westfield. After a quick perusal of the dishes on offer I chose the Chicken Taouk Wrap Platter - sliced marinated chicken breast, tomato, pickled cucumber and garlic sauce, wrapped in a flatbread, and served with houmous, tabouleh and pickles. The wrap was tasty enough, though rather too much when combined with the salads - the Wigmore St branch offers a 1/2 wrap platter, which would have been a better option here. I asked for harissa, and was told they'd run out (eh?!), but I could have tahini instead. It was only when I'd paid that I realised a tiny dollop of tahini (in the small pot next to the drink, above) had cost an extra 65p. A tangy apple, lime and mint drink completed my order, which came to just over £10. Definitely not a cheap lunch option, especially compared to some of the great deals to be had in Central London (eg the Mooli's fabulous £5 lunch deal!) but very fresh-tasting and nicely prepared, with a good mix of flavours.
