Friends invited us to join them for dinner on our visit to Beirut , you walk into a simple artistic piece of art . Food was ordered thinking we will have just another regular Arabic food experience...This turned out to be the best and yummiest meal ever tasted , I could stop eating esp the best falafel in the world ...everything was superbly presented , made with passion and quality taste...it was for sure the best so far.

It is one of the famous fine restaurants serving typical Arabian delicious food in Beirut . This involves countless list of dishes coming to your table one after the other without you having the trouble of choosing what to eat ! Try not to eat much from each dish as they are too many to handle. The staff are friendly .It is nice & clean place with a live oriental music band of two men

I have been trying to go to it for few trips and finally we managed to get a booking so I advice that you book early. You can also check the times when they have live music, we didnt unfortunately make it to the live entertainment timing. The food is sooo much so I recommend you go in groups and go on an empty stomach. Once there just taste from each dish because they keep putting more and more dishes so in order to make it to the end dont eat much from any plate. They offer all traditional Lebanese starters, main course and desserts. They have also very good argilah ( water pipe) espically the apple flavour.
