The best Arabic food I've had throughout my travels in middle east! Definitely a place to remember! The atmosphere is nice too, with live music played at an acceptable volume.

I was not impressed, heard a lot about this place and had high expectation but it turned to be an average not to say below average restaurant food wise.
Atmosphere, more like a show off place.

I went to this restaurant with 3 other friends on a Friday night. We hadn't booked but they were kind enough to give us a table at an early hour, which we had for 1 hour and 45 minutes (exactly - they did have to hurry us up to leave as people were waiting for the table). By the time we left it was absolutely packed and it's understandable why. The food was absolutely delicious and I tried things that I had never tried before. It's a very unique place, the ambience is amazing. You pay a set price of 60 USD which seems steep but I would definitely recommend it for a special occasion as every single dish was delicious! Best Fattoush I have tried in Lebanon. It's a set menu so go super hungry with lots of space for the yummy food, from starters to main course to dessert it's all good. The only recommendation I could make is for the waiters to smile more and be a bit more friendly, I know we went on a very busy night but happy service makes all the difference. Although to be fair they were very efficient and polite, serving us the food and keeping an eye to make sure everything was fine. This is a treat for a special day, I think it's a must-visit in Beirut.
