I haven't been for a while but used to go quite often. If you like Lebanese food then you will be happy at the resturant. I think the decor could do with a bit of help and like others have said be prepared to be enticed to belly dance.

Don't let them make you belly dance! If you do, make sure you sneak to the toilets to warm up first (my legs cramped while forced to dance under the pole and I fell! It's harder than it looks!). There will be LOTS of peer pressure to belly dance. Or another good strategy would be to get yourself drunk silly first, so you won't remember a thing of your public humiliation.

Food was great, but tapas are always great, even M&S ones. Ambience is kinda cheesy, and you'll have to put up with the music the whole night... It's good for laughs and silly fun, for occasions like leaving-do, birthdays, group gatherings etc.

If run-of-the-mill Chinese restaurants have given you a jaded palate, then Henry Wong's is the place to go.

The service is friendly and efficient, and the decor modern and understated.

The real draw is the menu. You can do a lot worse than to choose one of the set meals. We ordered the set meal for 4 and were blown away by the minced pork in lettuce starter. Crispy duck, chicken, prawn and beef dishes followed that were equally tasty. Changing one of the portions of egg fried rice to plain rice was not a problem.

The portion sizes were well judged - we ate everything put in front of us and then had room for dessert. By that time we were stuffed, but the memory of the best Chinese meal I've had in years still lingers.

It's easy to walk past Du Liban, as the entrance it just a doorway - the restaurant is upstairs. Those who find it, though, are never disappointed.

The atmosphere is friendly and laid-back. There's always someone ready to help you navigate the menu, but you can also take the easy option of the 'all you can eat' buffet - they bring an endless selection of food and you get to try their most popular dishes.

There's plenty of Lebanese favourites on the menu, including falafel and pitta bread. Veggies and meat-eaters alike will find something to their liking.

On Friday and Saturday evenings there's a belly dancer who will attempt to lure you into joining her for a shimmy, and she can be hard to resist!

Whether there's just 2 in your party or 20, Du Liban is just right.
