Great food, great people, and reasonable pricing! It is also really nice that Tawlet is also composting and conscious of their impact on the environment. This is rare in Lebanon

Tawlet is a lovely restaurant set in the Ashrafieh neighborhood, which is leafy and relaxed, resembling a coastal European city. The restaurant is airy and bright. There is a buffet on offer at lunch, with a total of eight to ten dishes, most vegetarian. The food is fresh and delicious. There are various desserts on offer as well as fruit.... More

Lunch was served as a buffet with lots of tasty salads, roast vegetables, kibbeh, country style chicken casserole, eggplant stew, beans etc. also a nice selection of traditional deserts and a...

It is not the cheapest choice but the food is really nice and homemade. Perfect for lunch as well. It is an open buffet with a fixed price which includes dessert as well and you can eat as much as you like.

Really excellent restaurant and concept, in this restaurant you will have real food, authentic food and different from the regular Mezze you will have in most lebanese restaurants. The concept is each day a cook from a different area in Lebanon comes and cooks the specialities of its region, there is a buffet that is open, the food hence changes... More

I had very high expectations of this place, from friends' reviews, but i have to admit I was disappointed. I was expecting something fantastic, and what we got was good, but not amazing. Still definitely worth a trip though, for something a little different.

The cooking class at Tawlet was a nice experience, especially as it was the first cooking class of a culinary trip. However, I have the feeling that we could have done much more ourselves, and the main feedback of my clients was that they had expected more of a hands-on experience. The food we made and ate was lovely though,... More
