Bummed... How I felt when I found out the old Karam's Mediterranean Grill closed down their shop just many months ago. It's so sad to see because they have been in business for so many, many years. When I shitted my Yelp pants... When I found out they've reopened under "Karam's Gourmet", now located inside the Food Court at the Orange Park Mall. They opened for business 2 weeks ago. Confirmed... At first, I thought this shop was managed by a different owner, UNTIL I saw a familiar face, which is the main man himself, the owner. Imma call him "O.G." Yummy... THE BEST SHAWARMA resides at Karam's. Bold statement perhaps but I have tried Shawarmas here and there from other places. Nothing really compares in my opinion. These Shawarmas I can eat everyday. Win/Win... Their old location was quite a drive for me. Now with the new location, I am much much closer to be able to get my brown hands on them Wraps. My Promise... I promise to try the other items in the near future. But I'm so loyal to the Shawarma Wrap, which I get mixed (beef & chicken) w/ extra Cilantro. Coming back... For sure I am. Nom nom nom!!!

Always have loved this place and will continue to travel across town for it! My favorite shawarma plate in town hands down! Everything they sell taste delicious! The owner is so nice and always makes sure I have everything I need with my order. Highly suggest to anyone who enjoys Mediterranean cuisine to try this gem in the Orange Park Mall food court ASAP!

The falafel plate and hummus was tasty and refreshing. Burger and fries were fresh too.

Beirut Restaurant & Spirits - Chicken Shawarma

I actually visited twice this past week. Once with my son, and once with my best friend. Both…read moretimes were excellent. Ultimately I wanted to be able to review this place based on their regular menu and on their buffet. It was best to try them separately so two trips it was!! Food-9.8/10. What a weird rating, right? But let me explain. So for my first visit with my son, we ordered off the menu. We started with the grilled potatoes, and the labneh. I had the chicken shawarma platter and he choose the sausage pizza without peppers. The grilled potatoes were divine and the garlic sauce was heaven. It was served with a good amount of pickles and pickled turnip. The labneh was perfection. It was smooth and tangy and rich. Our meals were no less perfect. I snuck a bite of my sons pizza. The soujouk was amazing. He raved about it as well. My shawarma hit the spot for me though. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and despite the picture there was plenty of it. The rice was fluffy and flavorful and more pickles and garlic sauce as well as parsley and onions made it a perfect plate. Don't miss out on the flatbread they tuck under the chicken to soak up the juices. Those were tasty as anything. Now, the part of the review I didn't think I'd write: the buffet. I will preface this by saying I hate buffets. I don't feel that many foods are done any justice by serving them on a buffet. That being said, I was curious and wanted to try it. So when my friend and I came back, we went for the buffet. This is the place where my rating loses the tiny little bit of points. Every single dish on the buffet was perfection. Except the falafel. The falafel comes out a bit drier than I like. Now let me follow that up by saying I let it soak up some of the juices from the beef kebab and it was much better. Meanwhile every other dish was a joy to the palate. Despite being sitting out on a buffet, the flatbread was still soft. Yellow rice was available, and it was as soft, fluffy and fragrant as if it were fresh cooked. There was roasted chicken over potatoes that were both tender and seasoned to perfection and while it seemed many other diners were focusing on the chicken, I'd be lying if I didn't tell you I was happily scooping up the potatoes they uncovered. The kebab with vegetables was so amazing. It was tender and well spiced and so divinely juicy. The tabbouleh and fatoush were perfectly fresh and, the pita on the fatoush was so insanely crispy and delicious. While I picked up some regular and chocolate baklava to go home for my son, my friend tried the peaches Beirut dish on the buffet. He absolutely raved about it and insisted I try some. It was definitely rave worthy. This buffet experience alone could almost make me rethink my opinion on buffets, but I definitely have to take that on a case-by-case basis. But for this restaurant, definitely worth the stop for the lunch buffet. Service-10/10. The entire staff here was incredibly welcoming and hospitable. They were friendly and kind consistently across the two different visits. They're also very accommodating despite us sitting at one table and then deciding immediately to move to a table closer to the buffet. They were perfectly accommodating. Atmosphere-10/10. They have definitely made a very comfortable atmosphere for this restaurant. It looks like it possibly a large area set aside for private groups or parties in addition to the very large seating area for the restaurant itself. There also was a very nice patio outside with ample seating and bar, as well as hookahs. Overall, two experiences with different dining options, but both exceeding expectations. If you love Middle Eastern cuisine, you will definitely enjoy dining here, and even if you don't, I highly recommend you try if you're curious about Middle Eastern as this place definitely checks all my boxes.

Sunday lunch buffet was delicious! Some other restaurants have lamb that tastes greasy and gamey…read morebut not here! The lamb tastes fresh, clean, and refreshing! For buffet standard the service was good. Welcoming staff, friendly, kept the empty plates clear and the drinks full. I will definitely be back!

I have been here before, but it's been a while. I guess I forgot to write a review…read more So, I will now share what a pleasant experience it was here today. Wow on the Customer Service with the lady who took my order. I wanted a Camel rider w/fries. I also took a piece of baklava for a sweet treat after lunch. Ernie was running errands with me today and did not want anything here. So, I had it, "to-go". He wanted Popeyes across the street. We both were early for my appointment, so I had my camel rider and he had his chicken. I look forward to my next visit back to Hala's. Pros:very clean and organized place, plenty of parking. Cons: None Recommend: absolutely

Absolutely loved this spot! I came here for some dinner with family and friends and we were seated…read moreright away. The shop is half restaurant, half grocery store, which is super neat! It's family owned and operated and has been since 1974, although the shop has had a few facelifts. Immediately when you walk in, you'll see photos of the family and their culture, making it feel super intimate. We got the buffet, and everything was very yummy! They switch out the menu items weekly I believe and I would love to try another buffet with other items too. I really enjoyed the grape leave wrapped items and the salad bar. They also had a delicious tea. We explored the grocery store after and they have so many cool snacks, food, and even dish ware. We will absolutely be back! Thanks so much for the generous hospitality!

Everything I have eaten here is incredible, but my favs are the Kibbeh balls, gyro and shawarma's. Oh and the roasted vegetables here are addictive! Please support this incredible business :)

I'm not sure where to begin with this 10 star review and yes 10 stars! Five does not do…read moreit justice. First when you walk in it feels very authentic to the culture. Your greeted by the owners who work the restaurant and take pride in their establishment. They provided us with a complementary hot tea sample. That was so good. I could have drank that and been happy and had nothing else! The food where to begin? Typically I do not do sauces because that is not my thing but there's well let's just say I devoured it! 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!!!!
