I'm going to preface this review with saying that this is my first time having Halal food so I have…read morenothing to compare to, but I thought the food here was amazing. We had their 4 person set meal which allows you to pick two cold appetizers, two hot appetizers, 3 main dishes, 4 soups and 4 drinks for $540. For our cold appetizers, we picked their hummus and eggplant dip. Both came with flat bread (think more tortilla than pita), and both kept us going back for more. For our hot appetizers, we picked eggplants and falafels. The eggplants were perfectly cooked and not mushy. The falafels didn't feel greasy and didn't have that old oil taste. They were mouthfuls of heaven. Our main dishes included beef with potatoes and tomatoes sauce, mutton shawerma with tahini sauce, and sheesh taook with garlic sauce (chicken). All of the main dishes allowed you to pick either rice or criss cut fries. We picked rice for all 3 dishes. The beef tasted really fresh; the chicken was well seasoned and juicy; and the mutton perfectly cooked. The garlic sauce that comes with the chicken is made fresh and was to die for. I also really appreciated the good service. They servers would talk to us, offer us more bread and sauces, and didn't rush us to leave. It was a leisurely paced dinner where we able to catch up with friends, rare in Hong Kong. Lastly, this is located right across from the Southorn Playground in Wan Chai so it's conveniently located and easy to find.

Lebanese food holds a special place in my heart after eating at probably one of my favorite…read morerestaurants in Canada. That is to say, I had high hopes for this place, which was compounded by a recommendation from my then-coworker and still-friend. Eating here marked the first time during my time in Hong Kong where I felt outside of Hong Kong (in other words, in the international/expatriate bubble of Hong Kong). Granted, it was still during my early days and against the backdrop of the protests disrupting normal operations, when I had very few opportunities at the time to explore and appreciate all that Hong Kong has to offer. Located in the madness that is Midlevels, expect to walk up some stairs, and then some. This restaurant's entrance is on the side of where you would take one of many escalators, so keep your eyes peeled and/or pay attention to your CityMapper. The price point is typical of an international restaurant on Hong Kong Island: what finance/business people can afford. And on occasion, educators such as myself. You get what you pay for, as Lebanese food is relatively scarce in East Asia. I take what I can get. I really loved the shawarma hummus and eating it with pita. Such a game changer, so tasty, and of course so pricy. I also enjoyed the way they prepared their falafel, their cauliflower, and their chicken. I was quite pleased by their food offerings. My past coworker brought me to eat here, so to pay it forward, I brought my other coworkers to eat here. Presumably the cycle ended with me, but I would definitely love to come back here.

There are two things you absolutely have to get here: haloumi cheese salad and the zaaluk. The first is a salad topped with fried pieces of cheese. Sounds standard but YUM tasted like a grilled cheese sandwich without the pesky bread. The second is a wonderful eggplant based dip. Like hummus but much more flavorful. They bring out unlimited pitas, both white and while wheat. Order a bottle of wine to accompany and they'll come around and make sure your drink is never empty. Great service and great food.

One of the more lively places in Soho…read more Yeah Soho is usually chill and all, everyone does some small talks, sips some wine, but Sahara is something different. The ground floor is, almost intentionally, always overcrowded. As in, at its full capacity, you will have a difficult time getting in or out of the place. But it's great in a way no one actually sits uncomfortably. On the upper floor, which they only open it over weekends, is a semi-secret room that imitates a traditional Arabic/Middle Eastern social lounges (no I have no ideas what I'm talking about, but you'll understand once you are there). People take off their shoes and sit casually on the floor with mats and cushions. Pretty unique experience in Hong Kong. Drinks are okay - nothing fancy, but you have your usual suspects all available here. Shisha are good - very traditional, very raw in taste. Nothing to strong. Imagine Bloop, Boba Bear, or Vibe are like the "connoisseur" of shisha, Sahara will be like the down-to-earth, day-to-day friendly kind of shisha (in terms of taste, not here to recommend anyone to have shisha everyday). The food is surprisingly good. I didn't have the chance to try it until recently (usually I'm only here for drinks and shisha), but I liked their meat platter a lot (I don't know the actual name of the dish). And lastly, staff are utterly fun and friendly - they like to engage with the customers and actively make the place as lively as possible. Also interesting to note that, music (and the staff clapping along the music) is noticeably loud here, but having good chitchat here is not a problem at all. I'm not sure if it's the interior design, but I enjoy all the time I am here with good friends.

We visited the Papillons Square TKO branch and had an incredible dinner with the four of us. It was…read moremy first time trying Pani Puri--these delicate, crispy balls stuffed with flavorful fillings, reminiscent of a unique take on stuffed potatoes. The Chicken Tikka Masala was outstanding, and we also enjoyed the Butter Chicken, Palak Paneer (spinach with cheese), garlic naan, saffron rice, and chicken curry. The service was attentive and excellent throughout the meal. Our family mentioned they visit this location weekly, so it's clearly a favorite. With many locations across HK, Ebeneezers will definitely be on our list for a return visit!

The premise for most Ebeneezer locations boils down to two questions:…read more 1) How drunk are you? 2) How badly do you want pizza / kebabs? If the answer is "a lot," then the food here might actually be worth a look. Their not so unique approach to pizza, Indian cuisine, and kebabs has garnered them enough notoriety amongst expats that they've managed to find themselves in multiple parts of Hong Kong. This location on Ashley is a relatively good one and offers seating, a clean space, and relatively good service. I wish I had better things to say about the food. Most of the Ebeneezer fame has been from kebabs, followed by Indian specialties, and pizza pies. Much of the food lacks quality ingredients I feel, which means most everything is just borderline passable; mediocre for the most part but works in a pinch. It's not all terrible though, I appreciate that they are upfront about their food and offer a speedy experience via online delivery. Service is solid for the most part, which is why I've given them the nod more often than not. It is by no means destination food, but if the cravings are there, then I say have at it. Don't expect much and all should be okay.

My first choice restaurant was given a miss due to how crowded it was and my friend and I walked…read moreand searched for other eating places and we decided on this one and we were not disappointed at all. As my friend was not a big eater, we only ordered the main course. She had the lamb while I had the ribeye steak which was the best decision I made. Every bite I took on the piece of meat made my taste bud crying out for more! It was succulent, cooked to how it was supposed to be. I enjoyed every pieces of it and I got to try the lamb as well, and that was just amazing. I had lamb previously in Seoul and they certainly don't taste as good as this. This certainly made up the disappointment my friend and I had, missing out on our first choice. The atmosphere of the restaurant certainly feels Middle Eastern style but the service on the other hand was a disappointment. They were slow and I can sense their disappointment when we ordered only the main course. Overall, this place is worth the try!

We waited for a bit and I was wondering if they went to pick their own grapefruit..... And, well they kind of did! The manager realized that they didn't have any grapefruit juice in the house so he ran up the block to five other restaurants to get it. Wow. Really cool. I get to talking with him about types of drinks and I happened to mention that I love a good Amarro or Farnet Branca after dinner. Anyway, we order and the first dish is a safron chicken that comes out perfectly cooked. Unique dish served with a great sauce and escarole in a lemony dressing. Then we see the falafel that the other table ordered and remark that we should have ordered that too. The waiter hears us and asks if we also want to order one and we say "why not!". Along comes a perfectly made falafel Egyptian style. Meanwhile, I am still drinking greyhounds and we get our entrees. Mine is a duck risotto with an amazing lemony flavor and crispy duck. My wife had the kabab/skewers of chicken. We finish the meal and the manager remembered our conversation and had gotten a bottle of Amarro. Had a glass of that and a cappuccino to end the night. Great service food and ambiance. Five stars.

Mixed grilled is a must-order. The chicken has been marinated properly and very tender. Beef is surprisingly tender too. I don't eat lamb chop so I'm not so sure about it. Cocktail has a good balance of alcoholic strength and sweetness / sourness. I would recommend to order their special alcohol. It is quite good comparing to other bars at Soho with its price.

This restaurant is at the East end of Staunton and very easy to get to (even in heels) and cabs are frequent. It's also 1/2 a block up from the escalator. So really easy to get to. They have a full bar, the skewers, hammas, and all the mez is served with a more Western flair. So the food is fusion Middle East-Western. I went for a birthday party and the host had rented out the entire bar for the night. The room fits about 40 people comfortably, and the decoration is cozy. I'd definitely go back to hang out. But, Staunton is so spoiled for choices that it's a tough decision unless you feel you want a more Middle Eastern flair.

It's hearty, flavorful and incredibly satisfying - the kind that makes you think about a long time after you have finished. We also enjoyed their curry lamb, lamb spring rolls and beef dumplings - they are all well-executed and full of flavor, making it easy to over-order and still want more. Don't forget to order their scallion pancakes so you can dip it in the curry.
