    Mezze Platter
    JiMmy P.

    My wife and I tried their lunch buffet for the first time and overall, it was a good experience. At $15.99 including a drink, it's a solid deal. The food was tasty, but we were disappointed with the limited meat and fish options. Roasted chicken was the only choice available. I like protein so I ended up just loading up on chicken. We were hoping for a bit more variety in that protein area.

    I had never been to Beirut or heard of it until we received an ad in a magazine we got in the mail but once I saw it I knew we had to go! The ad told us of some of their specials one of which being ladies night on Wednesday which gets them half price drinks and half price Hookah which is a deal we did not want to pass up on. We arrived around 6:00PM and had no issue getting a table. Just a heads up if you want hookah you do have to sit outside but we took a spot inside for the time being. We of course had to start with some appetizers. We went the Hummus it's a must, the Grilled Potatoes, and we also wanted to try something new that we had never had so we got the Sambousek which is Homemade fried rolls stuffed with beef, onion, and pine nuts. Come on you had me at fried rolls stuffed with beef. The Hummus was great some of if not the best I have ever had. For sure the top for Jacksonville. They of course also brought out fresh Pita Bread to go with it and even got us more when we were running low. The Sambousek was very good also, maybe a little dry but paired well with the Garlic Sauce (which is amazing) that came with the Grilled Potatoes. I had a tough time figuring out what I wanted for my entree because there are so many options and everything sounded amazing but I wanted something that gave me a taste of a few things so I went with the Mixed Grill which come with Combination of Lamb Kebab, Taouk (Chicken Kebab) and Beef Kebab which comes with veggies, and fries or rice. I will say all the kebabs were great but my favorite was the lamb one. I just had the most flavor I have have really just been into lamb lately. After dinner we got a hookah and enjoyed that I good amount. I had been years since I had had one. We had an amazing dinner and hookah time which gave us a lot of time to catch up with our friends. Beirut is for sure a great place to check out, have a great meal, and spend time with friends. Plus make sure to check out the specials as well. It's so worth it!

    Great food for a great price! We came on a Wednesday when ladies drinks are half price so I enjoyed a nice glass of wine with my food. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate which was delicious and tons of food, I actually enjoyed the leftovers the next day for lunch. Our server was super helpful in us deciding to order the hummus and sambousek both were incredible!

    I love the patio for the great music and perfect ambiance. The staff is family oriented and you will feel like your home vibing to the traditional music and exceptional dishes as well as the amazing hookah. Beirut never disappoints!!!

    Nice place the buffet is small but still worth the money. Food was excellent and service was nice will definitely be back for more.

    Soujouk sandwich with fries
    Alison K.

    Started myself off with an assortment of hot mezze: Grape leaves stuffed with meat & rice, beef shawarma served on house-made hummus and pita, little beef filled (like empanadas almost) fried pastries called Sambousek. My husband had their Soujouk sandwich (which was HUUUUUGE!) that came with fries (to his joy because the man literally lives for fries)...their description of this is their own Mediterranean beef sausage with garlic, lettuce, parsley, onion, sumac, tomatoes and pickles. He said it was really good but wasn't close to the same as what we had with a similar name down in Tampa at the other "Mediterranean" restaurant. The very friendly and helpful young man who said he was from Jordan told us this is Lebanese food served in this restaurant and what we ate down south was definitely Egyptian food. For an entire table filled with way, way more food than we could eat (five boxes to take home), we came away with so much food to take home, so much food in our bellies and a bill for right around $60. Well more than worth it, in my opinion. For the delicious samplings, more for yet another meal and a chance to experience something different? Well worth it! The restaurant was neat as a pin and had tons of seating inside and especially, outside. Most people sat outside but I'm kind of particular about eating bugs with my food, so we sat inside. Aside from the loud music and the lack of attention from our waiter, everything was on point and very good. I especially recommend their hummus, which had a distinct hint of something like peanut butter (probably due to the roasted almonds) and a kick of lemon. It had to be the smoothest and most creamy hummus I've ever eaten. The dish came with my beef shawarma on top and most likely had some tahini drizzled on top. When either eaten straight from the spoon or put on the pieces of pita, it was a mind-blowing delicious experience! I'd go back just for that particular dish and never have any regret. The baklava were different from what I've ever had before, but still quite good...so step outside your norm sometime and try them out! We've done it several times and believe me, I have to drag my husband kicking and screaming most of the time, but he's enjoyed each experience and found so much he really loves!

    Hubby and I were in the mood for middle eastern food. Beirut had been on our radar for a while so we decided to give them a try. We arrived for an early dinner and were seated in the outdoor patio area. We started with a couple beers and shared an order of cheese rolls. This was a great appetizer. Crunchy spring roll style rolls filled with yummy cheesiness and fresh parsley. For dinner, hubby ordered the beef shawarma platter. I ordered falafel and hummus with chicken shawarma. The hummus with chicken shawarma came out first along with a basket of pita. This was super yummy. The hummus was flavorful and very smooth. The chicken was tender and seasoned well. The falafel was fried perfectly and moist on the inside, so good with the tahini sauce. Hubby's beef shawarma platter was very good. Perfectly cooked rice, plenty of flavorful beef strips, tasty pickled veggies. Service was friendly and kind. Great meal and ambience at Beirut. We will be back!

    Lamb Tenderloin Rack

    I've been craving lamb chops for awhile now and the reviews warranted the drive. We wanted to sit outside but this place does hookahs at night and it was pretty smokey outside, inside was dark and there were a couple of TV's on, But you don't care about that. You want to know about the food. The lamb was AMAZING!! And when I say amazing I mean seasoned to perfection, cooked to perfection & very good portions. The rice was a basic balsamic but even it was great. This will be my go to for lamb chops from now on. Per the reviews their shawarma is amazing also, so I will definitely try it out.

For…read morelunch, besides the regular menu, they also offered a small buffet, but I decided to try their regular menu. Ordered the Kafta Istanbuly -- a platter of two skwers of lamb kafta, grilled eggplant, lightly sauteed veggie (carrots, broccoli, zucchini), raw spinach and yellow rice. Descent serving size. Light, but very delightful seasoning. The lamb and veggie were just like what I make at home! The rice was cooked with peas and carrots and was good. It weighed about 6oz. Overall the dish was hearty and healthy. My server also gave me some complimentary fresh pita and zataar & olive oil (delicious). At only $27.5 (as of Feb 2026), this was a perfect deal! As there are not many Middle Eastern restaurants in Jacksonville, I am glad to find it and I would go there again the next time I visit this city!

It was so phenomenal and the chicken moist flavorful outstanding I cannot brag enough about how phenomenal that chicken dish was. Now let's talk about the vegetables. They were seasoned to perfection and cooked where they were still crunchy but yet they were soft enough that you didn't have to worry. The vegetables were outstanding and I wanted to get second helping on the vegetables they were that good! The pita bread looked to be homemade, but given it was Passover I was not able to try it. So long story short I'm coming back Friday night because that pita bread looked like it was in-house made and it looks so so good! This restaurant I have to say is out of this world and worthy of 10 stars! This is somewhere you definitely must try and I believe you too will give them 10 stars!!!!

They don't speak good English but they cook amazing food for sure!

I love Fattoush salads in general. 3) Lettuce-Wrapped Cheeseburger (no bun) - onions, pickles, tomatoes, of course lettuce, and cheese. "Low-Carb" Burger for those in the diet/lifestyle. The patty was thin, but it was big and filling. Service was wonderful, fast and accommodating. Very affordable pricing of food. The cafe is normally quiet, but I do prefer it that way. I'm sure it gets busy during the lunch and dinner times though. Look forward in trying out their breakfast soon!
