My family came to Layaly Beirut for lunch after driving to Interlaken from Zurich to see the nearby…read morelakes. It was snowing outside and we were hungry after our drive, and we found that the food here was just what we needed to continue our trip. For a family of five we ordered three skewer platters (two chicken and one beef kebabs). Since we were particularly hungry, I think that we would have benefitted from ordering another plate or two (each plate came with two kebabs), but it was all delicious! We especially liked the bread that they provided, and I enjoyed the hummus and baba ghanoush as well. The meat was very tender and soft, and the wait staff was also very courteous. After a few days of eating European food, it was nice to just eat some chicken and rice. I won't be returning to Switzerland for a while, so I unfortunately won't be able to come back to Layaly Beirut, but I leave this review here so that others may try the tasty Lebanese cuisine served at this establishment.

The grilled meat was juicy and not overcooked at all and the rice was delicious. Most of the decor is cool, despite the non-matching clown graphic on one wall and cards for the logo in the window. Highly recommend!

We were wandering in Bern and thanks to Yelp comments we found this great Lebanese restaurant. This…read moreplace is very close to the main train station, spacieux. The decoration is quite kitch but who cares! The food and the taste was very good! For today our choice was chicken shwarma and kaftas. The portions are huge and the prices are normal.

We ended up here by a stroke of luck --- the restaurant we were aiming for wasn't open for dinner…read moreyet, and after a round of overstuffed pitas at the Pittaria, I don't see how it could have compared. The owner is really the centerpiece of the place --- friendly, conversant in several languages, and happy to tell how he followed the girl of his dreams to Switzerland 30+ years ago. (The only other staff member we met has an annoying affinity for loud vacuum cleaners). Rolling in post-hike on a Saturday, the owner mentioned he was out of several fillings; in particular, the eggplant-and-peppers Betenjan that grabbed my eye first wasn't available. That turned out to be fine, as the standards he did have were excellent. Our group ended up with a mix of lamb Shish Kebab, veggie Falafel, and simple Hummus. All were heavily laden with extras --- veggies, lettuce, a sweet chutney that nicely complemented the main flavors, and hot sauce to order. The hummus and falafel options are variations on a theme --- either a large scoop of hummus and two falafel balls, or 6+ falafel balls and a small dollop of hummus. The lamb in the shish kebab is in large, tender chunks, and nicely roasted. The bread is much more substantial than many pitas --- more of a crusty roll, but so filled with goodies that the ratios are still right. Drinks are fairly standard --- a few beers and sodas, boxed Ayran yogurt drink, and a giant urn of oddly spiced tea by the glass. Definitely a must-eat for a day around Solothurn.

Each order comes with four falafels (great texture and taste) in pita, with cucumbers, small side salad, and hummus. Everything tasted good and was quite filling. I also tried the soup of the day, which was a carrot soup with tofu. Also very tasty! The only issue with this place is it can be time consuming to order and get your food, though guess that's the price to pay for having food freshly prepared.

The single waiter, Ayman, gave us the menu and recited the appropriate options for all levels of "hungry." We ordered Fatoosh, falafel, kebbe, hummus and grilled halloumi for appetizers and mixed grill (kafka, tawouq and shawarma) for main dish (to share). I think it was called "the trio." Fatoush's was ok. Nothing out of the ordinary. So was the hummus. The falafel and kebbe were better; both are strong on taste. Lastly, the grilled halloumi was excellent. All portions were a bit small though. Good thing we weren't too hungry. As for our main dish, it also came with (yummy) garlic-lemon potatoes, muhammara (nut-paprika) and three sauces. The meats were a little over cooked but very good overall, especially the shawarma which was perhaps the best thing in the restaurant. We were both very satisfied and might come back tomorrow night to try something else!

So, it's hard to miss and it's always pretty busy, having quite the line when nearby students show up for lunch. So try to avoid times around 11.45 to 12.30. Besides some other fast food options like Burgers, Falafel, fries and Gyros, the Kebab (wrapped in flat bread) is King here. The ingredients taste fresh, the meat is of good quality (100% beef) and the veggies are crunchy. Regular and hot sauce available...go for hot! It's tasty, the Kebab at 10.- is well priced and the staff - despite being so busy - is friendly and tries to get the orders to you fast. Best to enjoy their food sitting at the lake, which is just across the main road.

In any case, we were in Aarau for a design show and having never really explored the city before, we were wandering around, hungry, and ended up in the Altstatt where we happened to round a corner and saw the sign for Al Ahram. Aha! Sadly, it's really tiny inside and it was completely full. So, we ordered and then sat outside and watched the people go by. Our decision to split one of their falafel platters turned out to be have been a good choice. One each would have been way too much food. Their falafel is quite obviously homemade and was some of the best that I've ever had. The Platter comes with various sauces, etc., all of which was scraped clean by the time we finished. The reason for that is because it was really good and we didn't want to waste any. If they had any dessert, ala middle-eastern fair, I missed it. Aside from that, I can't complain about anything and don't want to. We'll definitely be back!

Best meal we had in this trip--not cheap but this almost convinced us that the Swiss are undeserving of their rep as having bland, expensive food. That's only half true--I mean it costs the equivalent of 10 buckets of KFC but oh so much better! The inside looked kinda like your grandma's dining room with that old timey vintage wooden stereo console. The food though and that yellow soul sauce were the highlights. Spicy, salty and fried to a perfect crispness, the chicken and potatoes went so well with their Aperol spritz. Dine outdoors for a perfect view of the bikers along these quiet side streets. Also, the WCs were stocked with various body sprays (I'm told Axe in the men's) and feminine products. Not entirely sure what that's about, but nice touch nonetheless.
