I am SO upset I didn't take any pictures of the food. BUT EVERYTHING THAT CAME OUT WAS DELICIOUS. We were a large party of about 15. It's a small dining space, so we made reservations, and were seated as soon as we arrived. Since we were such a large party, we damn near ordered everything on the menu, and everythiiiiiiiiing was sooo good. THE SERVICE WAS ON POINT. Our waiter was everything you want in a waiter. He was attentive, he was kind, he was hilarious, he was patient, he was just awesome. Dom, if you're reading this, I hope your pillow is always cool and comfy at night when you sleep.

We were so lucky to find this hidden Gem. We celebrated my dad's birthday here tonight with our family. Everything was delicious. True flavors from Lebanon. Top notch service.

Food is great. However it is quite pricy for the portions. Doesn't have the decoration to justify the cost

Really good food I think you will like it if you like this type of food. I went there with my wife and it was very friendly atmosphere. The food was delicious. read more

Wow!!! Amazing experience in Costa Mesa. I highly recommend Bei for a casual evening with amazing food. Parking is a little tough, but we had a wonderful server and the crowd seemed pretty cool. The Spinach Pies are to die for, we had 2 orders between the 2 of us. We also had the hummus, grape leaves and salad. We will definitely be back. read more

Randomly found this place while driving around looking for food. Great service, the owner was very welcoming and attentive, even gave us a salad on the house! Food was delicious! A must try. read more

Bei Restaurant - Beef shawarma - Lebanese Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I'm a regular at their other restaurants next door at EZ Kebab in Costa Mesa but this, cute little hidden gem!!! I was blown away by the experience and food! They brings authentic Lebanese cuisine straight to Orange County, serving up some of the best kebabs, shawarma, falafel, and more that I've ever had. From the moment I walked up to their quaint yet inviting location, I was greeted with friendly service that made the entire dining experience unforgettable. The kebab plate and steak shawarma wrap were standout dishes for me, perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor, especially when paired with their delicious garlic yogurt sauce. It's clear this team are passionate about delivering high-quality, traditional Lebanese food. Always will be back! read more

Bei is this little whole in the wall place that only has seating outside. We almost missed it as we were driving down the busy street since it is tucked in the back off the little parking lot. It was a good time with the 10 of us ladies celebrated my cousin's 21st birthday. The staff was good spirited with our party while we were laughing and having fun! read more

It was my first time here but certainly not the last Everything was super good, food, atmosphere ohh and Sandy our server was extremely cooperative and nice. read more

Wow wow wow what a beautiful gem!! Amazing Ambiance aside, the food and customer service is amazing! The food is fresh, flavorful and portions are great! This is no basic "Mediterranean food" and you cam tell. They arrest authentic Lebanese food and they take pride in thay. I was there with 3 other people on a very busy Friday night and the servers were amazing and accommodating. They took great of us and made our experience enjoyable! Shootout to jessica and Tommy! And kuddos to the chef! Keep it up! read more

Excellent atmosphere, ambiance, service and food. Very nice people. Will definitely be back.

An exceptional experience! The ambience was inviting, warm, & probably the closest to getting authentic delicious Lebanese food. The staff were attentive & ensured every detail was attended to with care. Definitely recommend! read more

Bei Restaurant - Lebanese Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Hidden jewel in Costa Mesa! Food was amazing and high quality, service was sensational, and ambiance was perfect. We will definitely return. I ordered the lamb chops and they were delicate and tasty. You must come here and try their exotic food! Ask to sit in Tommy's section! read more

The food was great, and a beautiful place modern and cozy, great and professional service, special thanks to Tommy!

We came here on a Friday with a group of 7. A couple of us have Lebanese background but overall a diverse group. Everyone loved the authenticity and taste of the food. Very quality meat, great presentation, and overall delicious. The lamb chops were something else. The ambiance is great -- you're in an oasis in the backroom with Lebanese music playing but not drowning out conversation. The hookah is also top notch. They were clean, well-attended, and smoked great. Excellent service both for the food and the hookah. The owner Roland has done a great job with this. The restaurant next door does fast casual, but Bei is great for either a fine dining experience or a great night out with friends and hookah. Will come back again soon. read more

One of the best lamb chops, that I personally have had in the world. Been to many countries overseas. The service is phenomenal and Baba Ghanouj is fantastic!! I do not like Hummus that much but we ate most of it. Get the platter!!! Go Go Go!!! read more

Wonderful food and great service. Try the sample platter to get a taste of everything.

To sum it up not great and not authentic speaking from a Lebanese woman. The only reason I'm giving two stars is because the spicy fried potato's were great. The dips tasted store bought, the rice tasted out of the box and the meat was very dry. read more

The food was absolutely delicious, bringing authentic Lebanese flavors. Dominic gave exceptional service.

Went there for my husband's birthday. Reservations were very easy to make, and we were very quickly seated. The appetizers were very quick to come out and they were delicious. The menu had really delicious options. We went with the special for two. The food was spectacular and it was more than enough for the two of us. We also ordered The kibbeh niyah appetizer and that was just as delicious as the entrées. they made us a cocktail and then gave complementary dessert for my husband's birthday, and it was some very delicious knfeh. Our host Tommy was very kind and quick with his service and we really appreciate how special he made the evening. Amazing experience and calm atmosphere! read more

Slowest service ever. The food taste less than average, unreasonably loud, never ever going back.

Hands down the BEST Lebanese food I've had in California! This place is seriously a gem! You can tell the food is high quality and doesn't leave you feeling bloated/sick like some other restaurants do. Our experience as a group of 4 was A+. The place is beautifully decorated so you can tell the owners did not shy away from spending money on every detail! The service was great. We forgot the servers name but he was wonderful from the beginning to end. Attentive, respectful and always helpful. The food came out in a timely manner, given they were slammed on a Saturday night during dinner service. We tried many of the kebabs: the chicken is tender and juicy and the rib eye wow!! Lamb chops are probably best lamb chops I've had in a long time. One person from our party ordered the chicken shawarma and it didn't disappoint. The server recommended eating in a little pit with the garlic inside and veggies and it was delicious! This place hit all the marks and we will be back! Thank you Bei! read more

We very much enjoyed Bei....really good food, nice atmosphere and amazing wait staff (Eric, I think). Would definitely recommend whole heartedly. read more

We love EZ kebab and have been long time fans! We were so pleased to find out they opened this quaint little restaurant tucked away right next door! It's now our new favorite date night spot! We almost missed it but as you enter from the back parking lot we were greeted with a friendly face and walked in to the chic decor and elegant artwork! It's all about the little details and this place really checks every mark! This was perfect for a quiet, romantic date night! It was a chilly night out and the restaurant did a beautiful job of giving an outdoor feel while still keeping things incredibly cozy and warm, I was even comfortable enough to remove my coat. The food and overall experience we had both times were impeccable! The lamb chops were perfectly seasoned and cooked as was the ribeye. I think we've tried every appetizer and I can't pick a favorite! We also tried knefeh for the first time and wow it's unlike anything I've ever had! If you've never tried it before make sure this is your first! Such a beautiful hidden gem restaurant! read more

Arrived for 7:45 reservation for four on Saturday. Was sat and then waited for 30 minutes with only water and still no one took our order. Not even drinks. Got up and left. They had a huge party there and only two waiters. Was super loud. The food looked great though. I would be open to trying early on a weekday to see if anything changes. read more

Great food, service and atmosphere. Looking forward to going back to try more items on the menu.

What a magical spot. Every detail is thought of. Not only is it a beautiful atmosphere with incredible service... the food is to die for. They have thought of everything!! Everything was perfect, I cant pick a favorite. If you're like me and need to try it all, i recommend the mix plates. You will love it all! read more

Bei Restaurant - Lebanese Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Food was DELICIOUS! Service was outstanding and the atmosphere was perfect and comfy. Will be back for more and soon.

10/10 Food, service, and ambiance. We dined here tonight and enjoyed every item we ordered. My husband raved that this was the best tabbouleh he's ever eaten in his life. The garlic sauce was finger licking good, the hummus was unreal, and the shawarma (chicken & beef) were so tender and juicy. The lamb chops are a must try too. We had two toddlers with us and they made an absolute mess and our server reassured us repeatedly not to worry and refused to let us clean it up. Refreshingly good service. We can't wait to come back. read more

Love the atmosphere here. Food was delicious and great service. recommend trying coming here! read more

Had the most amazing authentic Lebanese cuisine here. It's hard to find restaurants with quality ingredients just like in Lebanon's BEI really sets the standard for Lebanese cuisine in OC. After our first visit it's been a weekly staple for dinner . The staff is extremely attentive and the restaurants cleanliness receives an A+ from our family read more

Food, service, ambiance, all great. Parking may be an issue. Hope to dine in again soon.
