This is an excellent location for Lebanese food in Prague. The food was out of this world, the Lebanese wine and Lebanese Arak was an astounding compliment to the dinner Menu. We ordered the 1000 + 1 menu and it came with wine and Arak for three of us. It was definitely lot of food. Well prepared, and presentable. We... More

My wife and I are fans of Middle Eastern food. We didn't expect such a great restaurant in Prague. We were taken here by a local for the first time. I have now gone back many times. Their Mezza plate sampler is great. It is also located in a beautiful Passage.

Not often do you get too much excellent food. This Lebanese restaurant was stumbled upon. We saw a sign saying there were restaurants down this interior corridor off the main square. If they had not had a man outside talking with folks we would have never found this wonderful two story restaurant in the heart of Prague. The falafel were... More

From the open flames at the front door, to the Lebanese gentlemen smoking the traditional Hookah, to the beautiful belly dancer and of course the delicious food. The service was great and the atmosphere brilliant.This restaurant was a real find.

We noticed El Emir when we strolled into the arcade where it is located in central Prague. Very imposing decor and furniture, equally imposing menu with an abundance of delicious Lebanese dishes. We must have been served 100 olives with our various dishes--all tasty. Slow-moving in the afternoon, at the time we went, with very attentive service.

Not the typical Arabian flavor food. Price are relatively expensive. Nice decorated place! Bad belly dancing show! The shisha could be done in a better way. I do recommend a visit to this place for whom in vacation to see a taste of Arabian theme....

We stumbled across this place after landing late and hunting out food. Turns out it was a great find. Lots of choice on the menu. We both opted for a mixed grill. There was a huge pile of very tasty and well cooked meats, along with breads and pickles. Can not fault the food. The service wasn't bad, it wasn't... More

The only problem with this place is that you can end up seriously full after the visit. Everything is fresh and tasty. Arayess, Kalaje Jibne and Lahem Meshwi being the family favourites. Takeaway available via eurobest

Having visited many Lebanese restaurants I must say I never thought I would find such a great Lebanese in Praque of all the places in the world. Cosy and calm, if not even romantic atmosphere (we were dining late in the evening), absolutely fantastic food and attentive service made our dining experience so pleasant.
