It is a restaurant, frequented by locals as well as tourists; it is in the downtown as well. The cold and hot mezes and grill meat dishes are on the menu. Mezes are well-prepared and tasty. The kebabs are no more than kebabs and that kebap funs may find nothing wrong with the food whatsoever. The problem lies elsewhere: traditional... More

Visited this place more than a hundred times. Great lebanese food and service. Don't forget to order fruits (offered for free). Dont know where they shop to buy fruits, they are the best I have ever tasted. Recommended for business lunches.

Great food, they have a nice variety of mazza but it's not the best out there, comes in second for me after Mounir. It is located however in a very nice place (Solidere) would recommend it if you are around the area

I tried yesterday this restaurant with my family. It's located in a very calm and pedestrian area of Downtown Beirut near a little garden where children can play. It's comfortable with a nice and classy atmosphere. The service was very good and swift. As for the food, you have the choice between a set menu and "a la carte". We... More

I had an epiphany today.. After years of eating what I thought to be on hummus, a visit to Karam has made me rethink this dish, all thanks to the humble but potent mint leaf.. Place one of those bad boys in a crisp lettuce leaf, dip into the Lebanese hummus, flavored with parsley, and WOW! Incredible! Worth the trip-... More

We are in Beirut onky for a short easter holiday. The ambiance of the restaurant is nice and simple, clear and comfortable. We liked the place immediately. No touristy frills with the compulsary rip off feeling (though the location in the beautiful but slightly soul lacking rebuilt downtown area might suggest) but straight forward attitude with typical lebanese flair. The... More

One if the two best restaurants offering Lebanese cuisine in Lebanon. They use fresh ingredients daily. In addition to the great mezza on offer and the good a la carte menu, they also have a dish of the day.
