Em Sherif is a popular Lebanese restaurant in Beirut. There are two branches in Beirut and also branches in Dubai and Kuwait. It has a unique way of eating, depending mostly on an all-you-can-eat system.

Once you’re seated the waiter starts bringing appetizers, so many kinds, all traditional Lebanese food. The appetizers are fresh and delicious. They are too many, you could hardly taste them all. Then, the main course starts coming, with grilled sausages being the star of the table. Again, I could only take one bite of each plate as the variation was extraordinary. The sweets included cakes, ice-cream and Arabic sweets. Unbelievably delicious!

The service was fast and friendly. The atmosphere was very elegant. It was a life time experience that I would encourage anyone going to Beirut not to miss.

It costs 55$ per person. Very much worth every penny.

We love this place and we are regular customers. The food is really good but sometimes and because the place is always very crowded the service is slow.
However, if you are not a smoker and can’t handle the hubbly bubbly ( hooks ) fumes it’s not your place.
As far as for cleanliness , it is a very clean restaurant.
