The biggest rip off in town

This the place where they created a concept, the offer you everyday Lebanese home made food for the prices of a 5 start Michelin restaurant. A preset menu, with too many small mezze dishes mostly mediocre on taste and the prices are sky high. Tourists love such outings, but for real value and food it sucks.

Hello there,
Em Sherif is a fine-dining Oriental restaurant that offers authentic Oriental cuisine. We pride ourselves in having extreme consistency in all our dishes, be it through tastes or presentations. Our cooking practices are based on the respect of the ingredients and simplicity of traditional cooking techniques, where our focus is on the quality of ingredients. We are proud to say that our quality, portions (kindly note that we offer more than 30 dishes), expertise, and service definitely do justify our prices.
Regards
