The 43 best places for iftar in Beirut

The food is amazing and the service is very fast. Their set menu is amazing for groups and offers all kinds of lebanese dishes.

Em Sherif never disappoints, and its summer location at the Palm Beach Warwick Hotel is truly something special. With superb vibes and a breathtaking view over Beirut, it’s the perfect spot to savor the city in all its beauty. The ambiance is elegant yet inviting, with a stunning interior that elevates the whole experience. And of course, the food remains as exceptional as ever…rich, authentic, and full of flavor. A place that captures the spirit of Beirut at its finest.

Food tastes good. But honestly speaking, the set menu is definitely overserved. The quantity is way too much for the number of personas it served, I happen to over hear the next table commented the same. Fine restaurants need to be conscious about the food waste instead of showing off. Besides, this restaurant doesn’t allow take away. It even makes it worse

You’re slowly biting into a piece of Sambousek covered in Hummus, with some Hindbeh leaves in the mix… You close your eyes to savor the moment as you let the explosion of flavors invade you. A nostalgic Fairuz song is playing in the background, and a soft breeze is caressing your cheeks. Life is good. It’s especially good at Em Sherif where the culinary experience combines richness and delicateness, comfort and elegance, past and present. A word of caution: you may have to roll out of the place, as walking would be physically impossible after what can only be described as a gargantuan feast… So you may want to pace yourself. It’s a set menu that takes the stress out of ordering, and ensures that energy is re-directed towards devouring the meal. And it’s classically Lebanese, with the cold and hot appetizers, the warm main dishes, and the desserts, all with small refined portions. Everything was delicious but if I were to pick some highlights: - The minced meat Rkakat and Sambousek were so scrumptious yet delicate at the same time - The Kibbeh with yogurt is another hit. The flavoring, the umami, the freshness of the yoghurt…combine magically together - Then when you think you’re done… comes a pleasant surprise: A muffin-shaped puff pastry filled with rice, minced meat, chicken and a whole array of condiments (raisins, almonds, shaved carrots, peas), sprinkled with a cinnamon flavored gravy… Sort of a “Riz aa Djej” with a twist. You won’t know what hit you. And you might come back for a second, third, maybe even a fourth serving. - The desserts.. what a beautiful note to end this extraordinary performance on. The date and molasses cake might trigger a few inappropriate sounds of approval. The Mhallabye with the loukoum and biscuits will feel decadently sinful. It’s a beautiful experience. Yes your tummy will beg you to stop, but your your heart and soul will beg for an Encore…

Great food ! One of the best lebanese food in beirut. I loved also the wall with the plates and the roof decoration that matches the interior. The service was very good and the food was abundant. I especially loved the fattouch and cherry kebab. The dessert was also very good.

I visited Em Sherif on a Saturday night, everything was great from the welcoming to the service to the food to the entertainment, it is all under one theme. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. The food tastes delicious and you cannot ignore the food‘s presentation. We enjoyed our dinner with live music entertainment reflecting old Lebanese songs. It is a great place to taste the Lebanese cuisine and live a cultural experience.

Variety of Lebanese cuisine, delicious food and friendly hospitality from the team

I decided to try the Caesar Deluxe Salad for a healthy dinner option. Unfortunately, the only redeeming feature was the grilled chicken on top. Beyond that, the salad was underwhelming, especially given the high price.

Trued the bliss branch yesterday for breakfast. The food was good. Citrus power was awesome👍 their doughs are special for egg wrap and manakeesh. Halloumi sticks are yummy! Great service 👍

Very delicious Mankoushi, I recommend cereal dough!

We stopped by Zaatar w Zeit For some food, the ambience is nice. The staff is super friendly and helpful. As for the food everything tasted really good I’m a fan of the Halloumi in find pan and fries with cheese. I enjoyed the eco friendly shift they are doing, they now use paper straws instead of plastic which is really nice.

I feel sorry how this restaurant quality deteriorated even though it has a qualified and friendly staff but the taste is disastrous

The feta kale kinoa salad had literally three pieces of sweet potatoes despite its high price

Very good and caring service. You feel full after having your snack or lunch, and at the same time the food here is generally light and slight to the stomach. The food is fresh, too. Cleanliness and neatness are good.

A very good Lebanese restaurant in the midst of the bustling Hamra street. Take a break from the chaos outside and enjoy some good food. The place is usually full so expect delays in service. The prices are slightly on the higher side but understandably so, given the fact that it is located in a posh area of the city. The food is very good, especially the Kofta's, the staff is even more friendly and welcoming

Very cheap tiny portions. You need to order 4 dishes to be full.The quantity of food is dismal and the quality is poor. They fill your sandwich with hummus instead of the kbobs. lt is quite expensive too. We ordered 2 dishes each and still left very hungry. I was very disappointed. This place is a hype. Whoever designed their menu portions and all their managers should be fired. I will never go back to that place again

Whilst scanning over simple places to eat around Beirut. Kebabji comes up a fair amount since they have branches all over by the looks of things and all of them have pretty decent reviews. I picked the branch near my hotel because it was 2 blocks away, right in the center of Hamra. I went for the Motubal and Fatoush salad, the great thing is they offer 1/2 portions for a majority of the starters, this is something other restaurants could learn from. Both were very good. For the main I went for the Taouk (Chicken) and Kebab platter, which came with grilled onions, tomatoes and potatoes. Both kebabs were great, the Kebabji twist is that they use veal for all of the kebabs that would usually be beef. This means the kebabs are much juicer and tender. Being a Friday I was expecting it to be busier since it was around 9pm. There were only a few diners seated. Hence why I have marked down the atmosphere. Lots of people collecting takeout orders and delivery orders.

I went here for dinner with some friends and we easily found a table. The food was very good, but I was expecting more from the Kabab Halabi as it was not as delicious as in other places. The rest of the food was amazing. Well presented and fresh it was a joy for all of us. I recommend the arayes. This traditional Lebanese snack surprised me with its texture and spices.

This is a classic in Beirut. A pioneer in pita wraps variety menu. They got good service at an exceptional location in the middle of Hamra street. The food is very tasty and well presented. This place is not a good bargain. Some of the sandwiches are over priced.

The customer service lady is unprofessional and knows nothing about customers or service. 18 years in the business and you still don't know how to treat your customers right. Replace her ASAP before you lose all your customers

Food was cold. I told them to put Tahini and they put humus. Grilled meat skewer is really small and expensive. Would not recommend.

Always my go to place for buffalo chicken tortillas:) I went on a Saturday night, the food was really good. I had the buffalo chicken tortillas and volcanic shrimps as starters, smashed burger and mongolian chicken as main dishes. All of them were fresh and delicious but you should definitely share because the portions are big. The staff were very friendly and the service was fast. Highly recommend it for lunch/dinner with friends, family and a date:)

DIVVY is quality food accompanied by great service and nice ambiance. I have nothing to say except that this is a place to visit often if you really want to enjoy an experience. Oishi crab salad, chicken piccata, Nutella lava cake are my favorite items.

The variety of food is so good and the taste so good that it makes each dish special. We tried the drinks the “smash it” it’s very recommended and it keeps you refreshed. We tried their famous caramelized Mongolian chicken and the Mumbai chicken. The portion is big. No music was played. The WC could be better. As usual Gemmayze is difficult to find a parking .

Cozy sophisticated nooks, comfortable seating options, inviting ambiance with a warm and relaxed atmosphere. A perfect blend of comfort and style. Friendly, thoughful and caring service from all the staff! Mouthwatering and flavorful dishes! The menu features a diverse selection of cultural food, offering a variety of options. Every experience at Divvy has been enjoyable and delicious, would definitely recommend, thank you! ✌🏻🥰

Unfortunately we can’t rate with 6 stars! Location: many branches allover Lebanon, this one at the heart of Mar Mikhael street Staff and service: Extremely friendly and caring staff and outstanding service and welcoming Ambiance and setup: A comfortable space, tables, couches to enjoy sharing food with friends and family Cuisine: Fusion cuisine that can’t be described! JUST TRY IT! price: very fair prices, and average of 6€ per person! yes believe it!

Divy Dbaye is one of my favorite restaurants in town. It offers delicious food and great service. Located in the village - Dbaye, it has a pleasant atmosphere surrounded by other cafes and restaurants. I highly recommend it for a memorable dining experience.

I visited Divvy Mar Mikhael for dinner tonight and let me say it was a delightful experience. The ambience is nice and warm. The music is good. The staff is super friendly and helpful. As for the food well divvy never fails to impress. The mini burgers are a must try, the food all in all is amazing.

A very good cafe with great food and good shisha, they have indoor and outdoor seatings with different table sizes. Their menu has lots of options for all tastes, and their service is fast. The only thing they need to take care of is the discussion between waiters in front of clients, like one is saying to the other that some customer left something he loves go and get it fast, they definitely need more training.

A friendly place with good food. The burger was a nice surprise in terms of quality and taste. The service is professional and prices were well balanced offering a variety of choices.

Unfortunately we didn’t take photos of the sandwiches but we ordered taouk and kafta and they were good to be honest.

After spending a long hectic day, having a good meal at one of the trendiest lebanese restaurant in lebanon"Ahwak" was a necessity. As we enterred the place, the whole set up was in harmony with the traditionnal lebanese way and a touch of modernism. Having our table prepared, we were ready to make our order. We asked for several dishes and it really felt like home, at my mother's kitchen so much. The taste and smell were authentic and we have enjoyed it till the last bite. As for the service, the waiter was helpful and anxious to please us. Right after this big heavy meal, we have been surprisingly invited to taste some exquisite desserts as a gesture of recognition from the management which we appreciate a lot... Ahwak... we will definitely come back soon..

Amazing food. I ordered the lamb with rice. The lamb was really tender and tasty. The staff went above and beyond and were extremely friendly. Must also try the Arguili which was amazing too.

Ahwak: best of the best resto in lebanon. Special thanks to the beautiful elissa, gorgeous waitress

cozy place with delicious food and moderate prices

Oh my God, so vulgar and disrespectful staff. And i found pieces of rotten leaves. And they didn't prepare it infront of us so we cant know if they are even fresh. It tasted like sugar, no fruity taste. I totally regret it!

Good juices mainly for take out and delivery. There are no seating places. The prices are good as well and the staff was friendly.

Fresh, tasty, and original

The juice and fruits are always fresh and deliciously prepared. The portions are generous Prices are very moderate and reasonable. Affordable, tasty, lovely and experienced staff. Freshness is guaranteed. 10/10 would recommend

Nice juice shop with a variety of options and cheap prices. Quick and friendly service, though the place barely fits 5 people sitting, no bathroom, and barely a sink with no soap.

This place has one of the best juice/fruits in Beirut. They have decent portions, juice always tastes fresh, which is the deal breaker for juice shops, and their prices are reasonable for the portion you get! I haven’t had any negative experience from this place, but the only thing I want to shed light on is the overall hygiene, it should be improved, and I recommend workers to constantly were gloves!

HORRIBLE!! I got food poisoning after trying this place. They put the worst quality of fruits and ashta. They don’t make the cocktail infront of you! That way you don’t see what type of rubbish is being put. I should’ve took that as a sign that this is a bad place.

Due to its proximity to a university, you would expect it to be full of students. It was very noisy. However food and service are excellent

Crowded and extremely noisy but nice waiters. However the food is extremely bad, tried the new sandwiches; O.G steak; Chicken Alfredo; Chicken pesto. All bad. Extremely big difference from the picture, as the bread is way too big in comparison to the filling and the sandwich is too oily and has that dirty grill flavor. Also the dynamite shrimp peanut salad was just plain coleslaw, the shrimps were tasty but i wouldnt call it a salad. Probably the last time I visit a roadster as the food quality is horrible and so is the aftertaste.

Very nice place when craving for fast food and specially for burgers, welcoming staff, polite waiters, fast service, delicious food and fresh as usually, recommended.

one of the best diners in this category, but still very expensive although it offers high quality food, must try

Cheat day favorite and whenever in Hamra as well. the good thing about the crowne plaza branch is speed and friendly staff. My menu is: Buffalo wings (might be very spicy for some), the pizza rolls, and of-course "the almighty" Route 66 burger, and if you are one of the no meat-no chicken fun spoilers go for the veggie Orzo pasta or the field greens salad :D Prices are fair for Beirut standards, portions are perfect in size, might be crowded sometimes but you can always find a seat

Enjoyed this Roadster location in Hamra. It's good when you are.there with kids as they have many options to play in the same building (bowling, arcade...) and it's safe. The food is tasty, you should try the steak. Service was very prompt and waiters are courteous. I strongly recommend this place.

I'm starting to grow out of this good chain. Their service went backwards, prices are up, portions are smaller... Though good enough for an American style cuisine.

The atmosphere at Mayrig is absolutely beautiful, and the service was impressively fast even though the restaurant was fully packed. The staff were welcoming, kind, and always smiling. I truly enjoyed discovering Armenian cuisine — I think I came to the right place! Every dish had its own story of rich and unique flavors. The Cherry Kebab (Kofta) was very delicious, but I would love to see it a bit juicier next time. It felt slightly dry, and I think it would be perfect if it were cooked with more cherry sauce so the flavors could soak in better. 🍒 Overall, a wonderful experience — can’t wait to come back! 🍽️✨

Great food and fantastic atmosphere! There was live music and the vibe was hyped upstairs and chill in the patio. The food 10/10. We got the cauliflower, Mante, Muhammara and the zaatar martini. So so so good! We LOVED all of it specially the cauliflower, even my chicken-loving boyfriend loved the cauliflower. You pay for the flavors but also the experience. Our waiter was very friendly and performed Armenian dancing. So cute! Definitely recommend!

Highly recommend coming here! Maybe a bit pricey but worth the visit! I went on a Friday night and there was lovely live music! The staff, especially Maria and Abud, were amazing! I’m traveling by myself, which is sometimes lonely, but they made me feel at home right away and gave great service! I hadn’t reserve a table but they made it work for me. The atmosphere is lovely!

Absolutely stunning vibes. The food was great. We had the salad selection, and every single one had its own distinct flavour, all were lovely. The lamb shank with freekeh was full of flavour, and the lamb was tender. On the night we went, Elias Hebbo was playing live outside. The staff had told us about it when we called to book, and I’m really glad they did. We enjoyed the music as much as the food. Would highly recommend!

Mayrig is something special. Beautiful Armenian flavours, rich with tradition and made with care. The setting is elegant but inviting, and the service was exceptional, so much attention to detail and genuinely warm hospitality. Every dish felt thoughtful and considered. One of those places that stays with you.

I’ve been in may Armenian restaurants across the globe, Mayrig would definitely stands out The vibe, the staff, the food is all of top level. We enjoyed every dish and every bite Don’t ever miss this experience in Beirut

Lovely experience here at Mayrig. Tasty Armenian dishes reminding me of family meals. Sarma was amazing. Little touches are very nice, staff very attentive and friendly, warm environment, great new renovation. X

Amazing experience at this restaurant in Beirut. We stopped by to grab a small bite and ended up having a full meal. After we finished our delicious food and drinks, they served free deserts, fruit and coffee. It was completely unexpected and really appreciated!

The restaurant look amazing and the service was brilliant. Dishes was perfectly cooked, came out fast, looked and smelled great! Staffs were extremely friendly and polite. Highly recommended.

I'm not a fish person but at this restaurant I had the best fish experience of my life. I was entertained every time and the dessert they serve is very tasty and gives a nice finishing touch after the meal.

Babel is constant and consistent. The entrees are alone are absolutely delicious way before you get to start with your choice of fresh fish. Yummy from start to finish; consistently!

Impeccable service. Our fish took a bit long to arrive but they apologized several times without us even complaining, very thoughtful. The food is really good and the presentation is nice. They also serve dessert and fruits at the end and it is really good! I love the hot towel they give at the end. It is definitely a very very high end restaurant. Highly recommended for tourists. The only thing I did not like was the wara2 3enab as it wasn’t as tasteful as expected.

Babel Bay always delivers a polished and memorable dining experience. From the moment we walked in, the attention to detail was evident. We asked about a menu item that wasn’t available, and the way the hostess explained the alternative reminded me why this place stands out—staff are clearly well-trained, familiar with every detail of the menu, and genuinely focused on the guest experience. The food, as always, was delicious. Even on a public holiday, the level of service didn’t drop—a rare thing in Beirut. And the small touches, like the presentation of the hot towels, continue to reflect the elegance and consistency that Babel is known for. If I may offer a gentle suggestion or two: • For raw fish dishes, a bit of ice underneath would help keep things perfectly fresh—especially during warmer weather. • And for the bread service, maybe consider placing the hot bread separately from any plastic-wrapped items, just to maintain that premium feel and avoid unnecessary contact with heat and packaging. That said, Babel Bay remains one of the few places where you feel every element is carefully thought through—and that’s why it continues to be a favorite.

Exquisite service matched with equally exquisite flavors

The place is consistently very good for years now. Located in an old building with high ceilings and a large winter garden area the place is spacious and has an inviting ambiance. Dishes are traditional for the region and tastefully spiced. Quality of meats and vegetables is impeccable. The service is highly attentive and fast. I enjoy going there a lot. So will you. Only small downside is that some people keep smoking inside. While i am usually very sensitive to this, it did not bother me due to the size of the place and the very minor olfactory annoyance.

We organized a staff lunch at Abdel Wahab – Ashrafieh, and honestly everything was near perfect. The food quality, presentation, and service were outstanding. I personally don’t eat garlic or onion, and they went above and beyond to accommodate my request, even preparing kebbeh without onion, something I’ve never experienced in any restaurant in Lebanon before. Truly impressed by the attention to detail and hospitality. Highly recommended!

Nice atmosphere sitting upstairs on the balcony! Really enjoyed the place, their Lebanese food and the service! There is also a parking service at the entrance which makes it easy just to park your car! Thank you!!

I frequently order delivery from Abdel Wahab Restaurant, a well-known establishment in the area. Recently, I tried their meal for one, which turned out to be a very generous portion, easily serving two people. The restaurant maintains high cleanliness standards, and I appreciated the food coming in well-presented containers. Speaking of the food, it's not only tasty but also of very good quality. However, one aspect that could be improved is the availability of options with less salt, especially for those with hypertension. This addition would cater to a wider range of dietary needs and preferences. Overall, Abdel Wahab Restaurant delivers on taste, portion size, and presentation, making it a reliable choice for a satisfying dining experience.

Abdel Wahab is a fantastic spot to experience Lebanese food and hospitality. They have a large menu with mezze options, fresh salads, and grilled meats. We particularly enjoyed Fattoush, Hummus, Halloumi and mixed grills. All with a quarter of famous Lebanese Brun Arak. The restaurant has a beautiful terrace that's perfect for enjoying a meal outdoors during good weather. Overall, it was a great experience - highly recommended! Tips: Make a reservation if you're going with a group, especially on weekends.

It is always a pleasure to be back at Abdel Wahab restaurant. The most friendly and welcoming staff. Nayef thank you so much for the great dinner and your kind gesture of white coffee. Food is simply delicious. The menu is with all Lebanese variety of food. The vibes of the terrace are really nice. The place is busy and very friendly . Prices are Very reasonable too.

A nice place that serves good hummus and well-cooked chicken.

3enab is a charming Lebanese restaurant that blends traditional flavors with a cozy, colorful ambiance. The menu offers a wide variety of authentic dishes, from fresh mezze to grilled meats, all served generously. The decor is vibrant and nostalgic, with vintage details that reflect Lebanese culture. Service is friendly and fast, and the place is ideal for family gatherings or a casual dinner with friends. Don’t miss their fresh tabbouleh and mixed grill platter

We had a great time at Enab in Gemmayze! The fattoush, asbe, rez aa djej, and cheese rolls were all delicious, full of authentic Lebanese flavors. The atmosphere is cozy, and the service was very good. Our waitress was super kind and friendly. Highly recommended for a great Lebanese dining experience!

**Review for Enab Restaurant** My recent visit to Enab Restaurant was truly a memorable experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a homely and cozy atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The inviting setup added a special touch to our dining experience. The food we ordered was exceptional, showcasing the rich flavors and authenticity of the cuisine. Each dish was well-prepared and delicious, making it a delightful culinary journey. The highlight of our visit was the outstanding service provided by our waitress, who was super friendly and attentive. Her warm hospitality made our meal even more enjoyable. Overall, Enab Restaurant is a gem, offering great food, a cozy atmosphere, and impeccable service. I recommend it for anyone looking for a wonderful dining experience.

Great Food Great Service Great atmosphere Thank you Mohamad Al Bokhari for making our dinner a nice experience

Enab in Beirut offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere with very friendly service and a cozy, inviting ambiance. It’s a lovely place to enjoy a traditional Lebanese meal in a relaxed setting. The overall experience was good, and the pricing is very fair for the quality and location. That said, the warak enab (stuffed vine leaves) was undercooked and could’ve been better prepared. Still, it’s a spot worth visiting for its charm and hospitality, with room for a few improvements on the food side.

I saw this place on social media and honestly I have to say it’s even better live. It’s located in the vibrant city of Mar Micheal and the ambient is super well designed that reflects the Lebanese heritage but with a modern twist. Food menu is super rich with all main Lebanese dishes. I liked the new twist on some plates. Staff are super helpful and friendly.

Overall a good experience. The area is large and the outdoor section is very bright. The food was good but the service left a little to be desired, the server was a little slow and some items ordered did not come while some that were not ordered were delivered, so just be clear and aware when ordering.

Really good food however My favorite is sujuk mante but I wish it had more filling And the makanek could be better Inside and outside seating available Was fairly calm on a weekend A man plays oud occasionally outside Overall cheaper than mayrig and Good

Everything was great, from the welcoming of the staff to the service, we had a great time there It was my second visit and the food was super yummii , the quality quality is top I highly recommend this restaurant

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was truly disappointing. We visited this Lebanese-Armenian restaurant expecting flavorful dishes, but the food was completely tasteless and lacked any authenticity or seasoning. On top of that, the prices were not justified at all compared to the poor quality we received. What made matters worse was finding a very long hair in the kabab — absolutely unacceptable for any dining establishment. Overall, the visit was unpleasant from start to finish, and I cannot recommend this place to anyone looking for a decent meal.

⸻ I had a terrible experience at this place. They applied a product on my skin that was supposed to protect against mosquitoes, but it turned out to be a toxic chemical meant to kill them instead. I ended up in the emergency room because of their careless mistake. Even if it wasn’t intentional, no one apologized or showed any sign of regret. What makes it even worse is that the waiter, who handles food, had no right to touch or apply such a toxic substance. Such negligence and lack of responsibility are completely unacceptable.

The food is amazing and the staff is really friendly. I really recommend the place! Its a must!

Sorry to say this - but this was an overall bad experience. The food was well below average - especially for its price. The vibe was cute and I plan to try it again. But this first visit was not an experience to recommend.

A small, incredibly busy restaurant on a street with virtually no parking. Reservation is strongly recommended and seating is close quarters with smoking allowed! Yet the place is packed and the food is delicious, be it Armenian or Lebanese. Service is friendly and attentive without being pretentious. Not an easy place to find or get a table in but once all the hurdles are cleared, an enjoyable experience. The dessert selection is first-rate.

It is a self service restaurant. Their sides are pretty good. We tried Tabbule, Hummus, Falafel, Salads etc. We also tried mixed kebap, it was okay.

I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to indulge in authentic Lebanese cuisine. The combination of the beautiful interior design, self-service concept, short waiting times, and the free to play backgammon boards make it a unique and enjoyable dining experience. Whether you're a fan of Lebanese food or simply looking for a new culinary adventure, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit.

Authentic, delicious, and full of soul! Em Nazih delivers the true taste of Lebanese home cooking in a casual and welcoming atmosphere. The self-service setup is efficient and the staff are always helpful. Prices are very reasonable, portions are generous, and the overall vibe is relaxed and genuine. A must-visit spot for anyone craving real Lebanese flavors without the fuss.

I have been coming here for years. Good Lebanese comfort food including breakfast and fun place for live music on the weekends. I’m also a big fan of the hotel Hamra Urban Gardens which is attached.

A great place with relatively moderate prices and good food. It offers mainly lebanese food with lebanese mezza as appetisers. Food quality is great, and cooked to perfection. I tried several dishes and found them all delicious. There's no table service, but the staff are kind and welcoming. Waiting time is minimal, and the place is cozy and comfortable with beautiful ambiance and internal architecture.

What a cute restaurant. Found this restaurant in front of the hotel we’re staying at (Cavalier) and thought of trying it. It’s all very nice and convenient with good prices although it’s not a fast food restaurant but it’s a self-service restaurant. We had to wait for some time to find out that we have to go get the food ourselves. 8/10

Their buffet lunch is 18000 pounds or 12 dollars. It includes a huge variety of dishes and you can eat as much as you want once or twice or three times. My food was extremely authentic and delicious.

While the food and desserts are amazing 5/5 The indoor smoking is a little off putting. The staff were friendly and a nice place to enjoy some lovely culinary delights.

A very nice place for all kind of people. Food is quite fine, but lacks some finesse. I would recommend this place for a drink and a smoke

Very nice place and atmosphere. The food was really good. Friendly staff.

I invited guest a table of 6 on Saturday 12 june The overall was acceptable but when the bill came the big surprise they charged me for bread 4 slices , so sad because there price is not average but medium high . The catastrophe that when ordered butter which is complimentary in all international restaurants they charged me for 3 pieces more than the bread. The manager said it’s management policy. So sad very disappointing and un professional.

Very poor experience with the salad bar at mandaloun café achrafieh branch. The ingredients were not fresh and the variety is so disappointing. The hommos had crust on it with moldy green spot. When brought the waiters attention, he simple “changed” the bowl. Very few protein option; everything feels canned, no flavor no seasoning whatsoever on the ingredients and few items looked fresh. Poor value for money.

Sushi is simple and good and fresh. The salad bar is great. The quiche not so great. The fresh juices amazing. Love the place I come here very often

Although this is called Mandalpun Cafe...it is actually a restaurant offering a big variety of dishes and options. It is a bit expensive and in my opinion targets the high society but still if you are willing to pay for a dish a bit more than what you would pay else where then make sure to visit. They offer the best salad bard ive seen in Lebanon with a lot of choices incl balila..foul..bread..etc... all the dishes i tried were excellent. The service is also amazing and you would be taken care of. I love it and it really deserves the 5 stars. Maybe..the prices could be revisited .

A great spot! The food is really good, with lots of tasty options to choose from. The place has a nice, cozy vibe, perfect for hanging out with family or friends. The staff are friendly. Just a heads up, though if you’re coming without a reservation, you might have to wait a bit. But it’s definitely worth it!

A very nice place to go too Friendly and helpful staff Arabic food, great taste, great presentation, big plates and platters Fast service Affordable prices. A must try

If you’re looking to experience traditional Lebanese cuisine done right, this place is definitely worth a visit. The ambiance is just as impressive: beautifully designed with a warm, traditional aesthetic that instantly makes you feel welcome. It's the kind of place where you want to linger a little longer. And let’s not forget the service—attentive, friendly, and professional from start to finish. Overall, a wonderful dining experience that blends taste, tradition, and top-notch hospitality. Highly recommended!

I visited Bed Lebanese Restaurant in Lebanon and was honestly disappointed. The ambiance was nice, but the food didn’t live up to expectations. The dishes were overpriced for what was served, and the portions were surprisingly small. On top of that, the taste wasn’t memorable or authentic compared to what you’d expect from Lebanese cuisine. Overall, it felt more like a place that focuses on presentation and atmosphere rather than quality and value. I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re looking for a satisfying Lebanese dining experience.

Went there on Saturday night, the place was full, well decorated, they have indoor and outdoor comfortable seatings, welcoming staff and well trained, wide variety in their menu between Lebanese mezza and bbq, halabi and Armenian food so the pizza and a mix of manakich, very delicious food and fresh, highly recommended.

Lovely setting for a restaurant. The waiters are attentive and service is very good. The food however is average and over salted. The salads were good with the exception of one with mayonnaise dressing. The mixed grill was nothing special. For the price .. it should be better.

Nice lebanese armenian restaurant, the food taste is good; however the food comes in an unorganised sequence where appetizers came after we finished the main course. The overall experience is good, staff are friendly and the food has good taste. They can make it better but I recommend you give it a try.

I had breakfast at Al Falamanki – Raouche branch, and it was an amazing experience! The atmosphere is cozy and full of charm, with a lovely view that makes the morning even better. The food was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. Service was excellent — the staff were friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Honestly, it’s one of the best spots for breakfast in Beirut! Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Lebanese flavors in a relaxing setting. ☕🍳🌿

Perched above the iconic Raouché rock, Al Falamanki delivers one of the most breathtaking views in Beirut. Whether you’re a local or visiting for the first time, this Lebanese café restaurant captures the city’s soul, effortlessly blending nostalgia, comfort, and a sense of place that few spots can match. The setting feels both authentic and unpretentious: vintage Lebanese décor, rustic furniture, and greenery that wraps around the terrace, giving the place a warm, lived-in charm. It’s not fancy or sophisticated, but that’s exactly its beauty. Every corner feels curated with heart, a tribute to Beirut’s golden days. The menu stays true to traditional Lebanese favorites, from fresh manakish straight off the saj to creamy labneh, perfectly grilled halloumi, and aromatic foul mdammas. Everything tastes homemade, served with generosity and a smile. The staff are attentive and friendly, moving at a relaxed Beirut pace, enough to make you linger, enjoy the food, and soak in the view. And that view is simply unforgettable. Overlooking the Mediterranean and the legendary Pigeon Rocks, it’s one of the most stunning breakfast backdrops you can find anywhere in the city. Morning hours are especially magical, with soft light, calm air, and the sound of waves below. Al Falamanki Raouché is more than just a restaurant; it’s a Beirut experience. Perfect for a leisurely breakfast, a shisha with friends, or a sunset tea, it’s a place that captures everything that makes this city so irresistibly charming. ⭐ Highly recommended, especially for breakfast with a view you’ll never forget.

The food is good, but not the best service though. We struggled to find everyone's food, and didn't attend to the table as you'd expect. The view is spectacular though and worth visiting a place around this area to enjoy the view

The quality is nice The service takes long for your order to be noted and then prepared The place is bit crowded and not calm The view is breathtaking and very unique then the other restaurant of the raoucha rock

Traditional Lebanese restaurant with amazing views of Raouche rock! I wouldn’t recommend going there for the food, but if you’re looking for a nice spot to relax with drinks and breathtaking views, this is the place!

great view for the rawshe rock so relaxing. I always used to go there for breakfast. The food is fine but portions decreased. The menu says 4 eyed eggs but u get 3 🤣. The hostess is sweet and helpful The waiter was frowning all time and barely helping us. I love the place this was the only uncomfy experience but generally it is fine but was better.

food is amazing 🤩 service is the best especially Mr.Abbas he is professional and super friendly the ambiance in general is great 👍🏼

Indigo was a last minute decision, but it was exactly what we needed at that moment. After a long marathon-like day, we were looking for a place to just relax. Situated at the top of the fancy Le Gray Hotel in Beirut, Indigo provided an outdoor seating area underneath the stars. Dim lights created a cozy and romantic atmosphere, granted they also resulted in the reduced quality of my photographs. The lower part of the view was obstructed by pretty flowers and vines, but the upper part of tall structures managed to make it up to this restaurant perched on the roof. The waiters guided us to our table, and when they were present, the service was great. They were attentive, polite, and very professional. However, at times it was a bit difficult to get a hold of them. My significant other ordered wine from the wine list, but I felt like having a cocktail, which they readily made available from the bar next door. I should add that the Strawberry Mojito was really good and refreshing. The waiter came to us with a bread basket in hand, from which we chose the olive and multi-cereal pieces of bread. They were soft and delicious, especially after they were smeared with the complementary rich butter. We ordered the Crispy Duck Salad and Ahi Poke as appetizers. The crispy duck salad was a pleasant surprise, the crunchy bits of the crispy duck were a perfect addition of texture to the salad. As for the ahi poke, it was very flavorful and the sauce complemented the tuna well. For mains, we ordered the Thai Baked Sea Bass in Banana Leaf and the Black Angus Tenderloin. The sea bass baked in the banana leaf was as moist as it could be; it was extremely tender. Unfortunately, the accompanying rice was forgotten until we reminded the kitchen. However, the waiter was quick to apologize and did end up bringing the rice to our table. Moving on to the steak, it was a good chunk of meat, but nothing outstanding. To satisfy our sweet tooth, we ordered the Valrhona Chocolate Fondant and the Namelaka, which consisted of chocolate mousse, hazelnut biscuit, and passion fruit ice cream. Needless to say that everything becomes better with chocolate, and these were two solid chocolate desserts. The warm chocolate inside the fondant was a great way to end the meal. In general, Indigo has good food, mostly great service, and an intimate setting, with nothing separating you from the sky above.

Amazing location, excellent food and superior service. One of Beirut's absolute top restaurants.

Great staff, delicious, wonderful ambiance, lovely dinner on the roof with a breathtaking magnificent view

I had one of the best nights. It was a bbq night and I loved the experience with the nice atmosphere, singer and dancers. We ate, drank and danced. We had fun and enjoyed our dinner 😍

Loved the experience at Indigo on the roof for brunch. The variety is very big, including fresh sushi, tacos, beef and of course yummy desserts. The atmosphere is very cosy and casual at the same time. Make sure to pass by Cherry on the roof to get an amazing view on Beirut city and enjoy a yummy cocktail.

Untimely and disrespectful During a training spread over a few days, we lunched here as a group. Although not a first for me. 1) slow service - 1h for 2 course meal 2) we always had to wait for each other to be served 3) wrong plates were served on several occasions 4) when mentioned to manager, he got "defensive" by stating that we were late to arrive. I happen to enjoy the flavors of the food and the very respectful waitress but the rest of the staff needs better training on feedback reception and action taking. The F&B Manager duly followed with much courtesy and professionalism my above review and acted as needed with the staff!

The restaurant wasn't even crowded and it still took them forever to bring the soup, I couldn't break my fast as they haven't brought the juice. Worst service ever. I am currently at the restaurant and it's a mess. They serving the other tables as if they're family, maybe it's just that we're not Lebanese. Do not care about the food quality if the service is that bad and slow.

About as Lebanese a restaurant as a restaurant can get. The food, service, atmosphere and overall feel are spot-on without being pretentious, no small accomplishment. The joint is popular and can be very busy so reservation is highly recommended. Grilled meats appear to be Diwan's specialty and the shish kabob is particularly tender and succulent. The free desserts make a fabulous meal even better.

Very good authentic Lebanese cuisine, located right on the intersection of Charles Malek Avenue. The service was super friendly, food was delicious and food was ready very quickly. Outside seating was closed when I went there, and there was a lot of noise inside due to the place being 90% full and no background music to tone down the hectic environment, but was a great experience overall.

Everything in this place has an authentic lebanese taste! We had a lunch with the family on a Sunday , very suitable for such occasions! *The place is quite and Clean. Tables are well covered and distributed. *We ordered cold and hot mezza with mashewe and salad 🥗 . They were fresh, delicious and nicely presented. One of the best mashewe i have ever taste, specially the meat 🥩. The desert was also tasty! 🍉🍍🍎🍏 *As for the drinks, we took arak, whiskey 🥃, wine 🍷 and soft drinks. Let's not forget the staff, they were so helpful and friendly and The service was so fast.

I came to this place as it was recommended by a Lebanese friend of mine. We ordered Kibbeh nayyeh, Hummus with pickles, Shish Tavuk, Kafta, Basbousa, Muhallabia. Everything was incredibly delicous, I especially appreciated that the desserts were not too sweet, which is often the case with desserts at Middle Eastern restaurants. Service was very kind and attentive, actually the best I had in Lebanon during my trip

Very average food, to be honest probably below average, not compatible with reviews. Labneh with Garlic was good but all the rest was disappointing. Kebbeh was tasteless, shawarma was probably below anything you can find on the street but at a higher price. Do not recommend, worth paying a bit more (or even the same price given Diwan is overpriced) for a better experience, or just eating street food. They had wifi at least.

Established in 2015, they offer a unique concept of "1.5 sandwiches". The restaurant aims to recreate the authentic Lebanese taste by offering high quality snacks and original dishes. The shish tawouk sandwich, kofta sandwich and Lebanese burger sandwich are some of the highlights. This place is supposed to serve shawarma, but it's not supposed to be real shawarma. The chicken breast is carefully grilled on a griddle, not over the shawarma roaster. Still, it's not bad, a new kind of modernised shawarma with lots of wet mayonnaise sauce. The price is LBP 45,000, which is fair. The atmosphere is hectic, especially the response to the many deliveries. # Beirut # Lebanon # Shawarma

I ordered a delivery from this place through a delivery application. The time of the delivery changed for an unknown reason. When the delivery reached my office, the sandwich and fries were not hot. They were barely room temperature. That's not how a food should be. The sandwich is yummy when it's not cold. That's not acceptable. I won't order a delivery again from this place

Passing by this outlet while being in this area, nice place for takeaway or a quick meal, polite cashier and helpful, we ordered tawouk and burger it takes a bit of time but it was delicious, recommended.

Something about this place makes me go there even with 1 or 2 bad encounters in branches outside Beirut, but the ones in Beirut are great. like real great! once i had my dog with me they gave her a free mini sandwich haha! Now talking about food, chicken with garlic is divine, a bit disappointed with Kafta, yet amazed by the great taste of Taouk.

One of the worst sandwiches I’ve ever eaten. I called customer service to tell them that the sandwich arrived cold and the crispy part was burned and solid as a rock. He asked the manager and told me he couldn’t do anything.And in the sandwich there was a hair.

Its been out there for a while now, i can say they maintained their tastes by 80% after this economical situation. We ordered 3 sandwiches: kafta, tawouk,and what was tasty is the Fantastic Chicken, the sauce is great and cheese is melted well. Bread and texture of the crunch is just perfect…one thing is that it was the most expensive among all. All in all i enjoyed it the most but others were ok. Tawouk was average and kafta which was there speciality lost its unique taste! Thats sad for sure :( In conclusion, I do recommend this resto and it is a must try.

I gave this place so many tries and every time its worse than before, i order through delivery and it always takes more than an hour to arrive. Dine in wise, yesterday i paced by and i waited about 6 mins on the register and no one was taking my order and doesnt even taste that good. While placing a complain the team absolutely did not nothing.

Nice place when craving for chicken sandwiches in many types, welcoming staff and helpful, polite waiters and friendly, we ordered beiruty sandwich, beef and chicken burgers and broasted chicken, the service was fast and the food was very delicious, recommended.

We regularly order from Deek Duke because we like the food, but it always takes at least 2 hours to arrive. It’s really frustrating, especially when we’re hungry or have guests over. The delay has become a pattern, not a one-time issue. Please work on improving delivery times

I ordered a delivery from this place through a delivery app. The service was fast, and the order came in the expected time. I liked the packaging. The sandwich was good tasting. It was a good experience. Keep up the good work.

The pasta disappointed and a bit watery sauce. The chicken was dry, lacking flavor, and had an unpleasant texture. The appetizers, including fries, cheese balls, and chicken strips, were equally underwhelming tasteless, and far from appetizing. Overall, a regrettable dining experience. Used to be better than now years ago. They lowered the quality of ingredients

I went today to Deek duke Hamra for dine in. The service and the waiter/waitress were so good and friendly. I ordered The Real Deal appetizer: the french fries quality was too bad and oily; the chicken strips were without the crunchy skin; on the other hand, the cheese balls and the wings were tasty. Additionally, I’ve ordered crispy wrap which was literally a french fries wrap without chicken, I barely had chicken in my wrap. Lastly, the main broasted plate which was crunchy and tasty, but a but oily. I wish they change their french fries quality!

The service is good and the employees are welcoming. The food taste is not up to the standards of a chain restaurant. And is this should be a chicken breast?!!! It is so small !!! Even the fries are not good !

We went for a quick lunch to deek duke hamra branch. The staff were very welcoming. The place was super clean. We ordered cheese balls(highly recommended), cheesy sandwich (delicious- but they had to do it better before), half chicken broasted (delicious)

We tried the Iftar at Ahwet Zeitouna, lebanese meza and a main platter, we loved most of the dishes and the price (30$/pers) was ok compared to other places. The restaurant has a very nice design and setting, inside and outside. Service was very fast, and our server was very cautious to every detail.

We visited today, the staff are very welcoming and friendly. The food was very tasty especially the chili potato and they provide you with fresh bread (very delicious)! Highly recommended!

One of the best Lebanese restaurants I've been to. The location is perfect as it's by the boardwalk on the sea and has a both indoor and outdoor area. The food was fantastic, everything we ordered was top notch and they even had quite creative dishes (pistachio labneh - highly recommend). The wait staff are friendly and the service was quite fast. The indoor area is also fantastic if it gets too hot outside. Highly recommend and will be returning for sure.

‎The best waiter is not the fastest waiter. The best waiter is the one who has the power to persuade and makes you happy. ‎All tables around me say Salem and all happy.We were 8 people and it was a nice experience..This person spreads happiness in the restaurant.the food is amazing i will come again and again to see this man , keep going Salem thank you

How did no influencer or food blogger talk about this as a food destination AND a free activity of feeding birds! Choose a table outdoors next to the grass, and enjoy feeding birds the bread you're served. Food tastes good overall. Love the tabboule

The service was perfect… mhamad and Jawad both took good care of us. They were present the whole time.

The service and staff are amazing. Khodor , Mahdi , Warde , Obeida are amazing team Thank you so much

Met our friends over at Cafe Badaro. As soon as you enter, you can notice that the place is well lit and gives a fresh dining feeling in the atmosphere. It isn't your traditional Lebanese cuisine; chef Joe has managed to create his twists within this restaurant, and did so well indeed. We ordered some side dishes to try out: - Makanek (4/5) - Minted labne (4/5) - Fatte hommus (3.5/5) - Hendbeh (4/5) - Beetroot paste (3.5/5) - Sfiha: 3 different flavors (3.5/5) Overall it was a very nice experience. Waiters were very attentive and the service was fast. The manager even visited our table to check if everything was okay. Definitely visiting again to try out different menu items.

The bright vibes the place gives off are inviting, as for the staff they are very friendly and professional. The food looks enticing, you can’t not love the presentation. We had the breakfast offer and it is a must try if you ever find yourself in Badaro in the morning with some time to spare.

Location is amazing. The place looks small when enter, but it has a huge backyard. When arrived, staff rush to serve you. Reservation may be needed sometimes. Clam in weekdays and crowded in weekends. Food is simply delicious and tasteful. I really like their delicious, and fresh baked bread. And i recommend to try their meat shawarma (delicious). Not cheap nor expensive compared to quality and servings. Background music and bar are available.

Atmosphere: The set on our table was already so nice from the moment we sat down, and the atmosphere was very welcoming with its vegetation hanging from the ceiling and the soft lighting. Food: we ordered the iftar menu that was very generous. It could have easily served more than two people. The variety of food offered was abundant (soup, fattoush, different types of humus, grills, some other small plates, and dessert). Our favorite plate was the “batata harra” that had a very authentic taste. Service: very fast, friendly and efficient. Pricing: when it comes to comparing to other restaurants that offered similar iftar menus, we felt that it was very fairly priced considering the larger amount of food served. ( half the plates were still unfinished) M&M

This is the third time I visit this place and I can say they got consistency in what they do. The seating areas are simply decorated and varied with different styles of chairs and tables, their service is very good and fast. When it comes to food, main dishes are delicious with proper ingredients, their desserts options are very limited and definitely need to be reconsidered. They allow playing cards inside which may cause some disturbance for people going to relax. Their shisha is good and prices are relatively fair.

🔹Rating: 5/5 🔹Experience: This place is simply amazing. Starting with the location, located in badaro on the main road, to the interior decoration which is very nice, cozy space yet spacious comfortable seating area. Staff starting with the manager and all the waiters are very welcoming professional and friendly. Service speed ia very good and items are very affordable. 🔹Food: Menu is very rich and has many unique items. Mainly Lebanese dishes but some with a nice twist. We ordered the following: -Chanklish with Avocado: very nice combination I loved it. -Freekeh Salad: very fresh and tasty salad. -Khasbet Moushakaleh: A mix of Sfiha with different toppings. Very tasty. -Cheese Rolls with Basterma: it was my favorite very delicious. -Makanek: tasty and delicious. -Rass Asfour: tasty meat tender and fresh. -Fatteh Shawarma: Strange combination yet very tasty. I loved it. -Soujouk with Laban: very tasty and nice combination as well. -Teshkelet kafta w arayis khodra: tasty and delicious. -Battata Hara: very tasty -Vine leaves with yogurt: one of the tastiest vine leaves as it feels like been done at home. Juicy tender and tasty. I also tried the special argheli they have and it was simply amazing. All I can say that this place is highly recommended and I will sure get back soon to it. 👍👍👍👍👍

Great place! Amazing food, friendly and hospitable staff! The atmosphere is very welcoming with comfortable chairs and old arabic songs! Must try: kebbet batata, batata 7arra, the mtabal trio especially the one with beets, cheese rolls, vine leaves...let's not forget the kunafa! Omg the kunafa!! Will defenetly go back there 😍

By far, this is the best hotel resort in Lebanon! The service is impeccable, the ambiance is truly breathtaking, and the overall mood makes the entire experience unforgettable. From the warm welcome at the main gate security to the moment we checked out, everything was handled with professionalism and genuine care. The reception team was outstanding , their hospitality made us feel at home from the very first moment until our departure. We absolutely loved the room’s setup, cleanliness, and attention to detail. Room service was excellent as well. A special thanks to Sarah, Cyrine, Ahmad, and Farah for their exceptional service, they truly made our stay remarkable.

We booked the romance package for 1 night to celebrate my husband's birthday. Big thanks to Mr. Jean-Pierre for helping me customise it to our preferences. We loved every part of it!! The resort itself is beautiful, spotless clean and the design is very artistic (i particularly loved those little human figurines all over the place). The deluxe sea view room is beautiful, wide with well-designed partitions, digital lighting and curtain control. The bathroom is so luxrious though i would prefer more luxurious toiletries. The room has napkins and bins everywhere and i haven't seen this in any hotel so far - love it! The view from the balcony is serene though the sea view is very partial but well that's how the hotel is built. The spa is top-notch, so is the massage and staff there, already reviewed the spa on their account. We had 80 minutes heavenly massage. The in-room dinner experience was amazing, super delicious, generous and elegant. They also offered fruits and heart-shaped cake as a birthday gift. Hassan from room service is a true star with aimable attitude and sincerely cares about making the guests' experience positive - he rejected tips twice, but my husband insisted more lol. Breakfast was good as well, some items were better than others, but overall it was a nice experience with super helpful smiling staff. From the valet to management, the staff and service are flawless. True luxury and Lebanese hospitality 😍

During our stay at kempenski resort during the summer period for couple of months I recognized few employees like Hassan the room service guy which consistently provided outstanding room service. He was always on point anytime we ordered meals or drinks with extra care. The other guy hussein sherri from the house keeping is irreplacable amongst all hotels ive been in he is so neat, room was spotless and smelled fresh all the time , also Nagham is wonderful and her service was so neat , linens were crisp also adding extra towels. Jad on the reception is another asset for the site very welcoming with smile on his face all the time. We appreciate the the house keeping, room service and most services at the hotel. Would gladly return to Kempenski resort . Thank you Hassan haidar room service Hussein sherri and Nagham the house keeping Jad nd his colleagues are wonderful also on the reception.

Wonderful experience! the hotel service is incredible, housekeeping very professional special thanks to Mr Mohamad Ali and Mr Baraa! The rooms were very clean and the mini bars always full. Breakfast is always delicious and tasty! Loved every minute of the stay. Will definitely come again!

From the moment I arrived, the Kempinski redefined what true five-star hospitality feels like thanks to the beautiful Sarah at the reception. Every detail, from the warm welcome at the door to the seamless check-in, spoke of professionalism and genuine care. The room was immaculate — elegantly designed with luxurious touches, breathtaking views, and one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in. Housekeeping maintained everything to perfection, and the turn-down service was a thoughtful touch that made each evening feel special. Breakfast was a highlight of the day: an incredible spread with both local and international selections, fresh ingredients, and attentive staff who remembered my preferences after just one visit. Dining at the hotel’s restaurants was equally outstanding, with dishes that were as beautiful as they were delicious. What truly sets the Kempinski apart is its service. Every staff member I encountered went above and beyond — anticipating needs before I even voiced them, offering helpful local tips, and always greeting me with a smile. It’s clear that hospitality here isn’t just a job; it’s a passion. The facilities were world-class: a pristine pool, a serene spa, and common areas that felt both grand and inviting. Location-wise, it’s perfectly placed for both leisure and exploring the city, yet offers a quiet escape from the hustle and bustle. My stay was flawless from start to finish. If you’re looking for a hotel where luxury meets heart, the Kempinski is where you’ll find it. I can’t wait to return

The hotel is truly elegant, and the staff are exceptionally polite, professional, and helpful. Everything is spotless and peaceful. The bed is extremely comfortable, and the room is spacious with a lovely balcony. The view overlooking the large, beautiful swimming pool is simply breathtaking. Thank you to the hotel management for such a wonderful experience!

We went for a family staycation, and felt pampered in our duplex room. The kids enjoyed the direct access to the private pool with jets. Service on the pool was attentive. Rooms were impeccable and nicely decorated. Reception staff very welcoming and friendly. Room service timely and tasty food. Moving around the hotel was a bit confusing to reach reception or breakfast area because there was an elevator out of service

Second visit, this time for dinner! And since the weather didn't really permit, we sat indoors. Felt like home for sure, filled with many guests all over the spaces! Service was fast and the server remembered some of us which was observant and attentive of him! Food was great and dessert exceptional! Will come back for sure!

Farm to table, curated lunch with the finest Lebanese ingredients. A must for your visit to Beirut. We ate at the Hamra location, which didn’t offer the communal fare on the day we visited. Sit in the garden and enjoy the natural atmosphere as you eat your bountiful meal.

Very nice guest house in Hamra..in a very central location parallel to the main Hamra road. It has 4 rooms only with a small backyard managed by "tawlet" so this is basically a guest house and a restaurant offering a nice lebanese experience. Decoration is amazing as seen by the pics I am attaching. Prices range from 120 usd to 150 usd per room and it has 4 rooms in total.

Nice traditional dishes that are made available every day from different parts across Lebanon. Every day has a different menu with specialty dishes from all villages prepared by typical Lebanese housewives.

We just had the best and delicious breakfast, waitress were very friendly and service was good! Unfortunately the manager or the place seems to be bother by our kids playing with the roks of the floor and couldn’t wait for us to leave to arrange them, though there were no other table in the restaurant and they were not bothering anybody while playing and we were about to leave...

Cozy place with a beautiful garden. Homemade food quality. Very good value for money and very friendly staffs. Highly recommended at the heart of Hamra

Loved the place and the decor, very homey! The food was ok, i was expecting a similar formula than Tawlet Mar Mikhael, but it is a la carte, and the tastes were not wow. Need to try it again...

What a fabulous hotel! I stayed at the Gefinor Rotana for the first time, and it did not disappoint. We stayed in a King Room, with a balcony that had a breathtaking view of the sea and mountains. The room was spot on, clean, and had everything we needed. The bed was super comfortable. The booking included breakfast, which we enjoyed very much. They've had a large selection of fresh and scrumptious Lebanese and international options. The staff were very hospitable and made sure we had everything we needed. The hotel is ideally located close to Hamra Street, AUB, and Downtown Beirut. I'd like to give a special thanks to the General Manager, Mr. Samer, and to the kind and super helpful receptionists, Karim, Jana, and Mohammad. I would also like to give a shoutout to the staff at the restaurant during breakfast time. I would definitely stay in this hotel the next time I visit Beirut.

I had an amazing stay at Gefinor Rotana. The rooms were spotless, well-maintained, and very comfortable, making me feel right at home. The hotel’s location is perfect — close to everything I needed, yet quiet enough for a peaceful rest. Every detail, from the cleanliness to the amenities, was top-notch. A special mention to Mamoun and Karim, who were incredibly kind, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. Their warm hospitality truly made my experience even better. Highly recommended — I’ll definitely be returning!

I had a wonderful stay at Gefinor Rotana Hotel! The location is perfect — right in the heart of Beirut, close to Hamra, the Corniche, and downtown. The staff were exceptionally friendly especially Mazen , professional, and always ready to help with a smile. The rooms are spacious, and clean

We had a very good experience at the Gefinor Rotana Hotel. The food was extremely delicious — both breakfast and lunch were outstanding. Everything was clean, well-cooked, and full of flavor. The room was cozy and comfortable. However, since we were two people sharing a room, the amenities provided (like toiletries and towels) were not sufficient for more than one person. That’s something the hotel could improve. The service was great — staff were quick to respond to room service requests and were always respectful and polite. Overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel and would be happy to stay here again.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff were welcoming, the room was very clean and comfortable, and the food was absolutely delicious with plenty of variety. Everything was well taken care of, and I’d happily recommend it to anyone visiting.

I'm thrilled to share my exceptional experience at Gefinor Rotana Hotel in Beirut, Lebanon. As an expatriate living in the USA, I was a bit apprehensive about traveling, but this hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. *Cleanliness: 5/5* The hotel's commitment to cleanliness is truly impressive.

Maamoun was absolutely amazing! so welcoming and attentive! The breakfast was outstanding, with excellent quality ingredients and a wide variety to choose from. Everything was fresh & delicious, It truly made our stay even more enjoyable.

One of my favorite restaurants in Beirut. Good prices, delicious food and great customer service. I usually order online, but this time I decided to pass by and dine in, as it was close to a friend's house. The place is spotless clean and the staff is super friendly. The only thing I can comment about would be the Toum!!! Make it stronger :P

I have a been a customer at Mr Brown for the past 10 years. Food quality has declined significantly, this is the third time I eat in this month, and food is really horrible. We ordered 2 salads, the lettuce is so unfresh that it bends, chicken is so dry it's almost uneatable. I am genuinely shocked. Last time I ordered a chicken platter as well, chicken was super dry, and the baked potato was indigestible - it seemed like they cooked it in the morning and reheated it. I talked to the manager and he didn't even care - he kept arguing that it's fresh... Long story short: big disappointment. Won't ever eat here again.

Great food, very affordable prices compared to the quality of food. Usually it's busy, u may have to wait. Recommended.

Mr. Brown is a great restaurant to grab a bite with friends and family. You can choose to dine in or have your meal delivered. The interior is lovely. It is often crowded, but it won't take long to find a table. Their burgers are delicious & their fries are crisp. The portions are average & prices are equal to or lower than that of similar restaurants.

This place offers a great experience, a nice atmosphere, a decent service and good quality food. In terms of value for money, you pay very little and you get a product comparable to the best diners in town. In terms of food taste, it is good but not exceptional.

I ordered a chicken sub sandwich through zomato application. The delivery took time . It came in a soft bun , generously filled with grilled chicken pieces and light garlic mayonnaise sauce . Next time will take it in a baguette bread for a more fulfilling meal. It was tasty though ... fair prices for the quality offered

Good restaurant with a rich menu including appetizers, salads, burgers and Pizza. two things worth saying: the prices are very affordable and the staff is very friendly and helpful. i recommend this place

If u like to chill and relaxing atmosphere then this is a good place. If u like to have good food, there are more other options for you. The place is self-service, you can order the food from the counter and wait until ur bell rings. Also, to clean it up after finished. It’s a fun dinning experiences.

Delicious local Lebanese cuisine. Cool self-service concept. According to my friends, they have a great Shisha as well. Affordable. Very friendly and hospitable staff.

We went to this place for lunch and loved it! It's a bit hidden in the basement of a building off of Armenia street. It's a self service place with great food and good shisha. The hummus beiruti and beef shawarma are highly recommended.

This hidden gem in Gemayzeh is one of the most beautiful feel-like-home places in Beirut. Self-service all over the week except on weekends, they open from 9 am till 4 am, beautiful seating areas and green trees around. They hot delicious saj freshly made, great breakfast and lunch in general. The owners always take good care of their clients personally, the fire place in the middle is awesome.

Best place to eat any traditional Lebanese food for a low budget! The most expensive plate is for 10$! This place is really recommended to spend any weekend - They have live music on weekends and quiz nights during the week!

"Go more to places where you take off your earphones." Chilliest and lovliest hidden places of Gemmayze. Music and vibes there are incredibly beautiful Good for groups, and for Lebanese food trials. In love with their Shakshouka, Kebbe sajiye, fattoush. Cheap prices compared to the neighborhood.

A local's place, amazing interior design. Very relaxed and chilled vibe. Good food...

I think one of the best .. we had the chance to try it just before the high season start so prices were very reasonable.. location is super .. room is very good ( not at the sea side , the few ones by the sea side is very expensive but the view worth it) location in the best area for tourists "rawsha". Many cafes are near .. pool is very nice .. no access to the sea for swimming as it's rock .. staff are friendly Didn't try food so I can't review it

🌟 A Slice of Paradise in Beirut! 🌟 I had an amazing experience at Riviera Hotel Beirut! The breathtaking views of the Mediterranean, luxurious rooms, and the vibrant pool lounge made my stay unforgettable. 🏖️✨ The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure everything was perfect. From the delicious food to the relaxing ambiance, every moment felt like pure bliss. 😍 Highly recommend Riviera for anyone looking for the perfect mix of comfort, luxury, and fun in Beirut! 💙

The hotel was nice , clean and great location Pool was good but beach is rocky and hard to swim in The from office staff were very polite , smiley and helpful special May B. However, I felt that one staff member at the reception was not welcoming and not friendly I think named Lobna

Without doubt one of the favorite hotels, the atmosphere is so special that it really felt like home to me. All respect for the general manager and stuff who does a great job here, a true sample of excellent hospitality

If anyone reads my review, take my advice and never try this hotel I had the worst experience there. ⚠️ This hotel is a complete letdown! overpriced, poorly maintained, and utterly unprofessional. They’re betraying their guests with false promises and subpar service.

The worst experience ever, very very rude staff from receptionist till housekeeping, i never see this kind of treatment, need training how to host guests , if i want to share my experience i need may be half an hour writing. Not recommended at all

Unfortunately, a bad experience. I stayed at Riviera Hotel Beirut – Raouche, and the service was well below expectations. The staff were unhelpful and completely unresponsive to requests or complaints. I expected much better from a hotel with this name and location, but unfortunately, the experience was disappointing

The pool area at this hotel is undeniably beautiful — the aesthetic is on point, with a relaxing atmosphere that's perfect for a day of lounging. Unfortunately, the experience was brought down by the service. The reception staff were surprisingly rude and unwelcoming, which set a negative tone from the start. Additionally, the staff at the pool bar seemed unfamiliar with the drinks they were serving and couldn't answer basic questions about the menu. It's a shame, because the ambiance really had potential. With better-trained and more professional staff, this could easily be a five-star spot.

This hotel has a fun, unique vibe with its superhero theme. Rooms are clean, and the staff especially Maya and Ala’ at the front desk were incredibly helpful, going above and beyond to assist us with bookings. The pool is also clean and has a nice atmosphere. The only downside: charging $10 a night for parking even for guests, which doesn’t really make sense.

Such an amazing hotel! Smallville is truly one of the best in town. The staff are super friendly and welcoming, and the rooms are cozy and comfortable. One highlight for me was the food — I tried their burger, and it’s honestly the best I’ve ever had in a hotel. Highly recommend staying here!

It’s o-k — but I found it very strange that you’re not allowed to bring any food from outside into the hotel to your room (thus forcing you to order room service, felt a bit like a cinema forcing you to buy from the lobby). They also charge for the nespresso capsules — I saw it said “$3” and assumed that meant for extra! Never in my life have I stayed in a supposedly 5* hotel where they charge for Nespresso in your room! Staff are friendly. These comments are for management who need to bring their policies in line with other 5* hotels if they want to keep charging at this level. Rooms are big (provided you get a deluxe)

Very cozy and stylish hotel, sure you will be happy about room services. Most important one very clean. Thank you

We had a great stay at The Smallville Hotel. The staff were very friendly, especially Karim. We’d definitely recommend it and come back again.

Had a great time at the hotel. Stay was comfortable, food was delicious, staff were friendly and helpful, and the decor and pool were amazing.

Rating: 3/5 🔹Experience: Ordered burger for lunch at work. The delivery speed was very good. The packaging is very good and presentable. Portions are very good. Prices are affordable as well. The burger and fries was cold. Temperature should have to be taken into consideration.

The location is in the city center. We had to wait 20 minutes for our order and followed up six times to finally receive it. Unfortunately, the food was very cold — that’s very disappointing.

I ordered their famous mushroom and swiss burger the sauce inside is so little barely any taste and the meat is too small.

i had food poisoning because of the fish burger, i vomitted and had diarrhea. check ur fish out. everyone dont buy fish burger from burger king this branch.

Order delayed around 1h for 2 burger meals .... ddnt take them since akid msa23innnnnnn Worst CS team ever Delivery boy bala marba

Great furniture, fair prices, and friendly staff. Highly recommend BK Furn El Chebbek

Very good service ,food and staff

It’s not a daily place to go, if you were on a budget! This place is located in one of the expensive places on Beirut! Personally, i didn’t like the service... it was a bit slow, we had to order forks and knifes to eat... they forgot to bring the beverages...also, some sandwiches came cold! The music and overall experience is nice!

I had a business Iftar yesterday, the food was tasty and generous i loved the mezze especially the hommos and mtabbal. The grills were also so good, meat was so tender. The staff was always around to help us and make our eve enjoyable. All this was rythmed with Fayrouz music in the background. The place is located in Biel, the area is like nowhere in Beirut, it lacks identity, it is not charming. It is adequate for corporate gathering but not for other outing occasions.

Its quite modern cade in beirut center. Variety and tasty food make it the best place to be for a snack, lunch, dinner or even for shisha and coffee only. ps: the prices are relatively higher from other places around

Nice place. Great atmosphere. Tasty food with great service.

Beautiful place at anytime time of the day. Morning breakfast, Lunch, afternoon coffee, and perfect dinner.

Amazing place so class, staff very cute, food delicious and shisha very good!!

Very nice air conditioning open air you can smoke bubble hubble or nargila in an AC place

Nader @reception did a great great job. We had a food poisoning on the day we were checking out (As we ate falafel outside the hotel) and he did a great job by leaving the room to us till 4:00 PM where we were going to airport although we were supposed to checkout at 12:00 PM. He and the team at the restaurant and housekeeping crew are the reason we would like to come back again . Breakfast was absolutely delicious especially the Lebanese foul. Housekeeping were top-notch and always keep complimentary water on daily-basis. Thank you and that left a great experience

Very nice service and friendly team. Always responsive and kind. People in the restaurant are also super kind and friendly. There was a waiter with Down syndrome, I loved him so much. A great place for conferences and workshops. An overall great experience and a very good breakfast.

If you're planning to hold any future event, seminar, or conference, I recommend this hotel. Based on our previous experience, they provide the best services with the lowest rates when compared with other hotels. Mrs Rayne Ghalayini is there to offer you all facilities required for a successful event.

The best part of this hotel was the breakfast. It was delicious. The beautiful lady at the omelette station made me feel like I was home. It was my first impression of Lebanon. Mohammed and all the other staff members were very welcoming! I will always choose this hotel. It’s sooooo much better than Martinez.

One of the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The management team and staff were amazing. The breakfast was fresh and delicious. Thank you Radisson Blue.

The service was amazing and a prime location in the heart of verdun. Everything was fine and on point. The hotel staff was really helpful and assisted our needs. We booked two rooms on the 4th floor and we stayed for 10 days. I would like to thank Faod, Yousif, Nader, and Lia for unforgettable experience. Regards Mussed alshammari

The hotel is clean and in located in safe place Just 50 Meter to cities best Shopping Mall (ABC) The staff are supportive and smily . Highly recommend .

Beirut is by far one of the most overpriced cities around the world; but Afandina is spot on. The pricing is right; service is above average and food is great.

Terrible experience. The food was awful, service was slow, and to make things worse, they blast music so loud at night it’s impossible to sleep. Total disrespect to the neighborhood. Never coming back.

This place has amazing service, with a crew that really cares about the customers wants and needs. The food quality is very high for an amazing price. Very well done.

A goodplace to gather with family and friends. Fiid is grea, service is great as well. Came and enjoy the night every Wednesday Thursday and friday with the amazing arabic band and singer

The place has nice setting Food is good Service is alright Parking available.

Nice food Nice place The best atmosphere

The interior of the place is very nice and relaxing. The food is excellent (I have tried the sweets only) and the shisha is very good.

# I ordered two American coffees and a sweet French toast was amazing, unlike the chocolate fudge. Price was 30$ # Service was not as expected from the servant and the order took so long 😑. # The Outdoor was hot due to the shade heating the area.

Nice decoration, friendly staff but small portions! From the moment we entered until we left, the staff’s smile didn’t disappear off of their faces!! They were very welcoming and friendly! I liked the fact that the menu is printed on the tables... it’s a good way to reduce paper waste worldwide! The place’s decoration is really appealing and it makes you come more often... The negative thing is that the food portion are very small and the prices are expensive comparing to what we are getting!

So we've tried this place on our vacation to Lebanon. Being situated at zaytouna bay gives it a very nice view. We ordered lots of stuff but the best plates were the figs Halloumi, fatteh and their original bread. The shisha was very ordinary though but the atmosphere compensated. The prices however are expensive, but expected for the atmosphere and location

Service was excellent - we were taken care of by Assaf. Food was delicious but portions are on the small side. Great atmosphere. There isn’t a non-smoking area but good ventilation inside. Overall recommend for good food and great service.

would like to thank the place for their excellent service and warm atmosphere. A special appreciation goes to Mr. Mashour Daher for his professionalism, kindness, and great support. He truly made the experience outstanding.

Omar and Ali were wonderful. They made our dining experience extremely pleasant . We will be back !!!

The waiter Ali Daher was so welcoming and did to our table great service.

The pizza tasted great, especially the pepperoni and chicken toppings, but the service was disappointing. They didn’t provide any plates and served the food in takeaway boxes, even for dine-in. This really affected the overall experience. Domino’s needs to improve their dine-in service to match the quality of their food.

I had a terrible experience at the Domino’s Pizza Bliss branch in Lebanon. When we first arrived, the store was completely empty, no staff in sight. We waited for around 10 minutes before someone had to call the staff from outside to come assist us. When they finally showed up, they were extremely rude and unwelcoming. We ordered and asked to dine in, but the place was absolutely filthy. Every table was dirty, with food stains and crumbs, tissues on the floor, a bottle cap lying around, and dust all over the sofa seating. I asked for wet napkins to clean the table myself, and they said they didn’t have any. We ordered garlic bread, which usually comes with sauce, but it arrived dry. When we asked for the sauce, they simply said they were out of all sauces — which is honestly ridiculous. I also ordered a soft drink, and it was served warm. I asked for ice, and again, they said they didn’t have any.To top it all off, even though we were dining in, the food was served in takeaway cartons, no plates, no effort whatsoever. Overall, it was a frustrating and disappointing experience from start to finish. Poor service, unhygienic environment, and lack of basic items like sauces and ice, definitely not what you expect from an international food chain. Avoid this branch if you can.

Average pizza; it’s not that pizza that you’d like to come and have every single day or you crave every once in a while. The staff there are like dead people literally. They’re doing their job as if they’re forced to. When we asked for Wifi they gave us WiFi from the probing shop next to them. I don’t think a Dominos Pizza shop should be like that.

Its pretty average in terms of taste and quality since the dough seems processed and frozen . Its ideal for big gathering and u can benefit from their offers . Pizza vegetarian , margarita, cheese and pepperoni was our order . It gets affordable for big order .

Dominos Pizza: A Comedy of Errors (Except It's Not Funny When You're Hungry) I'm not sure what's more amateur hour, Dominos' inability to fulfill an order or their prehistoric payment system. I placed an order online, waited patiently, and then...nothing. No pizza, no delivery driver, no explanation. After an hour, I called to find out what happened to my dinner, only to be told my order was canceled. Why? Apparently, they couldn't process my online payment. Fair enough, things happen. But here's the kicker: they didn't bother to call or email me to let me know. And get this, when I tried to offer alternative payment solutions (because it's 2024 and who carries a wad of cash anymore?), they flat-out refused. No card payment over the phone, no online retry, nothing. It was like talking to a brick wall with a "cash only" sign taped to it. So, thanks to Dominos, I ended up with a growling stomach, a wasted evening, and a newfound appreciation for restaurants that actually understand customer service and modern technology. If you're looking for a reliable pizza place that accepts something other than cash, avoid Dominos like the plague. 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

No one at the cashier, place is dirty, rude staff

The pizza was very delicious and the staff was excellent

A Lebanese shisha cafe where you can watch football and have food and drinks. It gets a little smoky in the evening with most of the guests having shisha.

Nice decoration and helpful waiters, good place to watch football matches

It's a nice restaurant with good food and very friendly staff. I usually order the escalope platter, mashewe, or tabliyet shawarma, spicy potatoes (generally the meza is good overall), and oreo milkshake - always satisfied by the end of my meals.

I simply like this restaurant. Fair prices. Calm place. The food is good but basically its a great place for shisha with a drink.

One of our favorite cafés in Beirut. Good shisha and food, with nice variety of coffees and shakes.

Good place to gether with friends for shisha or cup of tea and to play cards or any other group game

horrible coffee, tawlet lzahr was so dirty, bathrooms were horrendous

It really deserves more than 5 stars! The service is extremely professional, you would be really feeling as a VIP! The staff are really helpful and friendly. The manager did visit our table and when we were about to leave he also came to thank us! The food was exquisite, not a single bad thing to mention! Many choices, all in a very good setting and so fresh, especially the sushi and salmon sashimi, the yummiest! As for the desserts, the choice is endless, i love the mix between lebanese oriental and international tastes. All in all, the price is really good for the international buffet, the rip off comes with the drinks as they are extremely expensive. I would recommend Mosaic for sure!!!

I took my mom for an early birthday celebration and the experience was magical. We finally got the chance to try their breakfast buffet. The options were varied, and the food was delicious. Both mom and I enjoyed our time at the restaurant. The service was top notch! Mr. Naji, the manager, made us feel very welcomed, remembering our names, and answering our questions. The whole staff was professional, attentive without hovering over us. Highly recommended and would definitely return.

The majestic Phoenicia Intercontinental Beirut does not need any advertising. Since 1961, it has been a Leader on the regional level, a home out of home with a sprinkle of luxury and more than the rated 5 stars service. It has also marked itself on the dining scene in Lebanon with its different dining outlets. It was time to try Mosaic famous Saturday's themed eve "3al lebneni"! The famous Chef Hicham Farhat will amaze you with a Buffet of Lebanese food like you have never tasted it before. First, we were welcomed and escorted to our table beautifully set. Expect to find different age ranges, from families, to young and old couples; there was even a wedding on the other side of the restaurant! On the facing stage, a band playing and a singer with her smooth voice singing oldies making an enjoyable ambiance. A belly dancer showed up later too! Now from where to start to talk about the feast we were offered? Chef Hicham was very keen to make the experience unforgettable. Starting with  a live demonsatrtion of the tastiest frake jnoubie! Chef in Action First things first: salad bar so appealing with all fresh seasonal ingredients, other mixed salads such as Fattoush and Tabbouli and another selection of seafood ones. There is a fatte and foul station to cater your taste. The mezze, every kind you can imagine and more new items such as carrot and beetroot mtabbal:) And oh the zahlawee mtabbal my first (what a shame for a Bekaee lady:P). And the basterma millefeuille such an innovative recipe. We tried the different kibbe made by the chef: meat, chicken and fish (last one my favorite with caramelized onions), and the tajine so light and perfectly cooked. The feast has to be ended with the sweetest note: a spread of oriental and wetsern desserts to cater every taste. So overall, besides gaining at elast 2 kgs after this eve:P, an amzing experience to be repeated! Bonus was the fortune teller who promised good events on the way, let's wait and see!

This has to be one of my favourite hotel breakfasts in the Middle East. The selection of food is varied and high quality. What really makes it stand out is the friendly and welcoming service from the manager, Mr Naja Aoun, down to the chefs, waitresses, and everyone else. Thank you for helping me start my day with a delicious breakfast and a friendly smile!

We celebrated New Year’s Eve at Mosaic Restaurant in the Phoenicia Hotel, and it was a truly memorable experience. The service was impeccabl and professional throughout the evening. The food was exceptional, offering a wide array of dishes that catered to every palate. It stands out as one of the finest dining experiences I’ve had in Lebanon. While it is on the pricier side, the quality, ambiance, and overall experience make it well worth the investment. I wholeheartedly recommend it for anyone seeking a refined and festive culinary outing.

Not a good experience! We went on Easter Sunday, the tables were too close to each other and a table of 8 was given for 10 people. Basically we couldn't move our chairs to go to buffet. The service was terrible, we had to ask several times to get something. As for the buffet, the taste was ok but food platters were not being replaced, for example the paella had no fish, sushi was very limited, we had to wait like 20 min to get soya… no fruits… It is nothing compared to what it was in the old days.

Went there for the salmon and shrimp buffet and I couldn’t recommend it enough! The variety is huge, the freshness is outstanding, and the taste is amazing. The creativity with the food was insane — you can even find salmon tacos or salmon shawarma. The dessert selection was also big and so delicious. Highly recommended!

It is a great place. We just had a business lunch, We were around 10 people at the restaurant. We felt so confortable, this is because of such successful settings in terms of architechture, natural lighting, design and other. They have pre-set lunch menu for 12 or 14 usd that includes a salad, a main course and a soft drink. I picked the 14usd that gives you access to sea food dishes. We were all so satisfied by the entire experience. The guy who was serving us was so helpful. In terms of quality price, i give them excellent. I had a salmon dish with a delicious salad for 14 usd; it is cheaper than a burger in any restaurant. Bravo for the concept. Surely recommended

Overall very nice experience. We went there for dinner, the restaurant was pretty calm, the services was great, and the prices were really fair compared to similar bistros. As for the food, i had a few favourites ( frike salad is definitely it); however, i wasn’t a big fan of the salmon (too small, overcooked) the steak was okay. I would probably pick more unique dishes next time i visit, but i still enjoyed my time and had a really nice dinner.

We went to Brass for a brief escape from the responsibility of parenthood. Luckily, we found a parking space right at the base of the staircase leading to the restaurant. There is an exterior seating area, which is lovely, but we opted for the cooler inside. The interior makes you still feel you are outside. There is a majestic tree sprouting from the center of a table, with its branches reaching up towards the sun’s rays coming in through the skylight. However, stealing your attention away from all of this stands an impressively long bar that runs the length of the room. It made me imagine how this place would be transformed during the evenings and nights, when the moon and stars shone through from above. I liked the whole environment that was created indoors, and after sitting at our table, I was ready to eat. Some restaurants really outdo themselves in the appetizers section; Brass is one of them. The appetizers we ordered were delicious; we had the La Poutine, Beef Carpaccio, and Raspberry Lava. The La Poutine was so comforting with the melted cheese and warm gravy. Yet, it was the Raspberry Lava that stole the show—from all of the savory platters, not just the appetizers. The berry sauce smothering the oven baked Brie cheese seemed very fresh and authentic, and the combination of flavors of the sauce and cheese was marvelous. It felt like intense bursts of goodness exploding inside your mouth. We chose the Asian Grilled Salmon, Roasted Beef Fillet with Red Wine Sauce, and Steak Frites as our main dishes; they were all good but not as noteworthy as the preceding platters. The Roasted Beef Fillet was succulent and the Steak was tender, although the meat of the latter was cooked more than the cuisson I had asked for. I should have informed the waiter, but due to the service being slow, I refrained from doing so. Instead, I spent the time waiting for the Pain Perdu to arrive, and that was time well spent. This dessert was worth it; I guess good things do happen to those who wait. The “lost bread” found its way into my mouth, where it felt right at home. The bread was saturated with the deliciousness it had been soaked in, it was just how I like it–I really detest a dry Pain Perdu. Add the vanilla ice cream to that, and you have a symphony playing on your tongue. I was glad that the first sweet option I had previously decided on, the Chocolate Fondant, had been unavailable when I was there, although I should admit I am still curious as to how it would have tasted.

Really enjoyed the food! the meat and chicken were so tender!! and the appetizers are just mouth watering!!

An elegant cozy bistro in the heart of Ashrafieh Located on the GF road level of a well preserved building dating back from the independence era, Brass presents itself as a solid Fusion - Bistro with a classic/chic decoration and furniture. The ambiance at Brass is relatively tranquil. Lights are dimmed after 9 pm for a more relaxed dinner. In fact, dimming lights is a wonderful choice taken by Brass because it provides more privacy to each table and a nice soothing and agreeable dining experience. The place provides seating for some 60 people. On a weekday night, like in our case, the place had around 20 clients that were all served in the most professional service standards by discrete and courteous waiters. Now comes the food: The menu is not a large one making it very easy to choose from. It is mainly built around french / greek/ english / north European specialties. We had four (4) “appetizers” one (1) salad, three (3) main dishes and one (1) desert: For appetizers we had: • Brie and Mushroom fricassee (full of appetizing flavors of mushroom with very nice sourdough, a tasty French baguette cut in slices) • “Une Poutine” (Although incomparable to the real poutine du Québec with its curd squeaky cheese and “sauce poutine”, , BRASS’s poutine is genuine, melty and super YummY with its gravy and compté cheese) • English Roast beef (a prime cut of sliced meat lying on a thick and crunchy “pain paysan”. The bread was hindering a little the palatable taste of meat) • Crispy Feta (Rocca and honey-mustard sauce – a very classical one) Our salad was: • Brass Salad (all toppings of a Greek Souvlaki Sandwich in a plate, a very tasty one that sends you for a 20 seconds two-way ticket to Greece) For main dishes we had: • Grilled Chicken Rosemary (an all aromatic perfectly cooked chicken breast lying on a succulent bed of mashed potatoes) • Asian Grilled Salmon (With very interesting vegetables steaming and cooking – however kale topping was not much appreciated) • Duck Confit with Orange (Confit de Canard, very well mastered, with a mouthwatering sauce and sesame on top) As for dessert we had pain perdu with vanilla ice cream, all accompanied by a heavenly tasted Citrus Chantilly. In sum, with the excellent taste of food, calm setting, and affordable prices, BRASS is a RECOMMENDED first choice experience for all occasions, from friends’ gatherings to cozy dinners.

Chill place with a very nice set up...there was not pictures of the food but everything turned out to be tasty

Trendy place with nice setting and good service. Food is average however small portions.

Went there with my family to have lunch, I ordered tawouk camouflage and fries. The sandwich was alright, it wasn't bad but it wasn't special. Bread was soft which is very nice, and sauce was good, only complaint might be the tawouk, but it wasn't too bad so overall not a bad experience. Fries were decent, same as the sandwich, with a hint of salt. Overall not a bad experience but I wouldn't do it again.

Best Shawarma experience ever. A very small & cozy place. Staff are very friendly and professional. The resto is very clean. You can taste shawarma in different type of breads. My favorite sandwiches are: soukouk a la frenchie, shawarma lahme 3al asli & shawarma chicken 3al asli. A must try place at very affordable prices.

Toasted bread with tasty fill. I had the beef shawarma and as the ad instructed; I am wishing them a successful future. Good eats, Very Nice reception and friendly staff. Highly recommend the place.

A new place opened in Hamra street. They have great sandwiches. The frenchie sujuk is really great (Deli, deli sauce, pickles, tomato, french bread). My second favorite sandwich is La Baguette, this sandwich is really tasty with its peper paste & deli sauce. Original beed shawarma was good aslo.

Bold claims lead to disappointment. Food was good but nowhere close to being the best schwarma in the world as they claim.

Good restaurant chain with tasty shawarmas. They have special shawarmas with tortilla bread wraps and guacamole sauce.

Shame on you thieves. I dont care if the dollar is 100,000. You call this a regular size sandwich? I was hungry for God's sake and your service is so slow i could not wait again to order another sandwich. A regular sadwich is the size of Arabian bread. There is no loaf I have seen this size. And it barely any chicken. Do you think that this plus fries and pepsi costs 250,000? Not having a foot herr ever again.

The place is nice, having a good service and decoration. The service was swift. Food quality is good and prices are fair and affordable. Sushi and salmon quality are fresh.

It's been some time since my last visit to Obi restaurant. The place is clean organized with a nice decoration. Waiters are helpfull and polite, we took salad at first then we had a sushi set, sushi was fresh and tasty, portion are good. you can also enjoy a free internet conection just ask the waiter about the password

We were served by Karim he is the best waiter i have ever met before. Amazing Service,Amazing sushi (especially open sushi),Super Great.Would recommend to come here

Its the third time i receive it in bad packaging and its all messed up i couldnt know each one because they are above each other like its thrown in the boat I ordered automatic chopstick but they didnt put also

Most of the food is good , service is ok but it is a casual sushi place

We were served by Ali. A professional, helpful gentleman. The food was fresh and tasty. The place looks nice. They do have outdoor seating as well. Parking valet service is available.

Amazing service and the food is delicious I will do it again and again !!

To all seeking healthy food in Beirut, I must warn you from trusting Carla's good food products. While she pretends to be a center providing healthy food, this is not true at all. I am diabetic and I used to buy the "Sugar Free" cookies and cakes for a while, however when I measured my blood sugar level after each time I consumed 4 cookies or a piece of cake, I noticed elevated levels. When I read the ingredients list on the cookie box, I was shocked to find out "sugar" was written among them despite being assured otherwise by the responsible staff at Carla's GF shop when asked. After finding out what was included in the ingredients, I called them and asked for the reasoning of this false pretense to which they replied insistently and I quote "We write sugar but we use sorbitol". I consider this not an innocent lie but a criminal offense since for a diabetic person, elevations in blood sugar levels can be fatal. On top of that, she doesn’t use adequate materials and ingredients while preparing the products, which leaves a bad and rancid taste, with the cook’s argument of making healthy and light food. Meanwhile the truth lies with their unwillingness to spend enough money for the quality of such food while the buyers end up paying the price expensively.
