The food is great, the chef is really hands on his business, variety is great, they have live belly dancers on weekends, great location and you can smoke shisha

Yes, a lot of vegetarian options, including a delicious kibe of vegetables. The food is so good, the place is beautiful and the owner comes to say hello and shake your hand. I recommend!!!

I would definitely advise not to go here, the service is really bad, I had to re-order three times, but also the ambiance is horrible. The music is too loud (you cannot have any conversation) and the belly dancer is the most cheap looking and acting belly dancer I have ever faced. Really not recommend this restaurant, the concept could... More

I'm a regular customer of this restaurant. And I keep coming back for their great food and fast service. It is amazing how they can keep serving fast when the restaurant is always full. And the quality of the food is superb. Highly reccomended

We went at Beirut mainly because it was near our hotel and we knew that it was a casual dinning. It has indeed good "combos" at very reasonable prices. The menu is correct and the food, although not that fancy,it´s Ok. I´ll suggest you all to have a place inside, because of the air conditioning as Panama is kind of... More

If you dont speak/read spanish you will have a hard time ordering food. The staff did try to accommodate but just wasnt much help. The food was ok but after visiting other higher recommended resturants we could tell the difference. It does seem like a locals favorite hot spot to eat but just wasnt our cup of tea.

My friends and I went out for an evening and sat on the patio of the restaurant to view the street theatre. Service was slow but our main waiter was helpful. The gin martini was awful, the scotches were fine. We ordered a bottle of house white wine (Chile), hummus (2), tabouleh, falafel and a mixed grill of chicken, lamb... More

My husband and I have visited many large cities around the world. We embrace the philosophy that we are guests in our host country and should therefore do our best to speak the local language and be as respectful of the culture and local people as possible. I share as perspective for this review, lest you think we are "ugly"... More

In an Arabic Mediterranean restaurant like Beirut, it is worth trying their sampler which includes kibbe, hummus and many other delicious appetizer-like pieces. However, whenever I visit this restaurant I always ask for the "Gnoccis de Platano" which seems as such a delicious multi-cultural creation, it is hard to pass. This dish is served with a creamy sauce and is... More

I went there with my father yesterday, we always make it a point that whenever we visit a new city to seek out Lebanese restaurants and try them out since he grew up in Lebanon and knows the food quite well. We ordered the hummus, the kibbeh and the falafel as appetizers. The hummus tasted sodium bicarbonate, the kibbeh was... More
