My friends and I came in for dinner on a Wednesday evening and had an excellent time! We had a group of 8 people and made a reservation, which I'm glad we did because it was busy! The restaurant itself is so cute. I really appreciate all the cozy touches, beautiful art, and amazing pink tree in the middle. This place would make for a great date night or girls dinner! Our service was amazing. Everyone was so kind and helpful. We ordered the hummus trio to start which was colorful and delicious. We were brought so much fresh, warm bread with the hummus. We also asked for a side of veggies for the hummus, and they quickly brought us some. Everyone in the group enjoyed their entrees. We especially enjoyed the side of spicy fried potatoes. read more

Oh my gosh, this food was phenomenal! We visited with a large group and were seated on the patio on a very chilly night, but were plenty warm thanks to the heating options the restaurant placed there. I would have loved to sit near the gorgeous indoor decor, but we accidentally visited on the first night of Ramadan at sundown, so we were just lucky to get a table! Because we had a large group, we ordered a wide variety of items, and shared most everything. Literally every single thing we ate and drank was delicious. Seriously. It was amazing. It was also really fun to try some brand new items, and the servers did a good job of describing the items we had questions about and helping us choose what to order. Service was a little bit slow, but again the restaurant was absolutely packed because of the timing of our visit. There was a lovely manager going around to check in with the various tables; she was personable and funny brightened our evening. I definitely want to visit again to try more of the menu and try sitting in another area. read more

We went to Lebnani House as a group of 4 for dinner. You will definitely need a reservation for this restaurant as they were extremely busy on a Saturday night. The restaurant itself is well decorated with middle eastern themed styles. The service however was a little disappointing as we had to wait for a long time after we were seated for our waiter to show up. A friend also ordered Turkish coffee however it kept getting forgotten and was delivered to our table towards the end of the dinner. We ordered the hummus trio which came with fresh pita bread. The paprika hummus tasted good however the mint and beet root hummus were a little on the blander side. We also got pistachio chicken bites for our appetizers and these tasted unique with a multi dimensional taste profile. For the main, I tried their lebnani house chicken shwarma. We got it with a side of roasted vegetables however when the actual dish showed up, we were extremely shocked to see only 3 pieces on vegetables on the platter. We were expecting a little salad of vegetables so this was extremely disappointing. The meat itself however tasted incredible and was quite juicy. The dinner was a little disappointing however because this restaurant has high reviews, I would like to pay this place a second visit to try some of their other dishes next time. read more

The food was great. They had so many options to choose from which made us visit more than once to try a lot. The kunafa is delicious! I think it was one of best ones I've had.

Recently stoped by the Lebnani House for an impromptu dinner. Despite being very busy, and not having a reservation, they squeezed us in kindly. The restaurant decor was soo incredibly beautiful, and the restaurant was a decent size. Everything we ate was delicious! Kids meal chicken kebab was so well seasoned and flavorful. I ordered batata harara and they were perfection! The chicken basil rolls were unique and superb and the dipping sauce with them was unexpectedly addictive. Finally, the slipper shaped fresh baked bread we used to dip in the ground chicken in labneh dish topped off the whole meal. Order anything and be full, happy and satisfied. read more

My first visit here was remarkable for several reasons. First the hospitality: we were greeted by the owner who warmly welcomed us and gave his name while offering us his hand. The host wiped off our menus, then led us to the table, asking if it was satisfactory. He poured water, before getting our waiter. Next, the menu! Plan to read for a while. The photos of food are beautiful, and the description of offerings was clear. Well, it took us quite a while to order, the issue of time was ours alone; the menu is that big. We ordered a beef flatbread to share and two entrées. While we waited, the server returned with a complementary, hummus and bread, both of which were delicious. When the flatbread arrived, my companion, and I were both surprised by it size. This would have easily been an entrée for one of us. It was delicious and topped with fresh greens. The owner stopped at our table to see how we were doing. When I thanked him for the hummus, he said he wanted my first visit to be a good one. My chicken entrée was tasty, if somewhat dry. I had chosen roasted vegetables as a side and was glad I did. They were excellent. I'll definitely be back; this was a find. read more

Been here several times before, and it has always been excellent. This time, I was a bit disappointed with a couple of the entrees. Read on to see what I mean. We came here with a small group of five people. We arrived a little before noon on a Wednesday, and there were a few other small groups already there. Food: We started out with the Hummus Trio. To me, that alone could be the meal. Each of the three bowls has such a distinct flavor. The texture is super smooth, and when combined with the soft, just-out-of-the-oven warm pita, it is a little slice of heaven. There were four different entrees, all new to me. They were Beef Shawarma, Eggplant and Beef Sajiyyeh, Telar Kafta Kebab, House Mushrooms, and for me, the Yogurt Kafta Kebab. There was plenty of food, and we were each able to try a little of everything. For me, and a few others, the Mushrooms were the favorite. The special cream sauce and pomegranate molasses were rich and delicious. Second on the "yummy" list was the Eggplant and Beef Sajiyyeh, which was rich, creamy, and flavorful. Real comfort food, and that is saying something since I am not usually a fan of eggplant. The Kafta dishes and the Shawarma entree were a bit disappointing. To me, the meats were overcooked and dry. I was glad to have the yogurt, which helped add a bit of moisture to each bite. I was not the only one at the table who felt this way. Service: As has been my experience in the past, the service was terrific. Friendly, helpful, and efficient. We always felt well attended to. Thank you, Karlita. As an example, when we ordered the hummus for five people, they brought two baskets of pita, and every bit of it was finished. Atmosphere: Inside, the restaurant is simply lovely. The design of the space is elegant yet relaxed. Upholstered chairs, table linens, cloth napkins, cute teapots, and heavy plates all add to the experience. It definitely feels upscale. We really enjoy Lebnani House. The menu is very eclectic and offers lots of excellent choices. As we continue exploring, we are learning which entrees best match our tastes and preferences. I would not come back for the Shawarma or the Kebabs, but I am very much looking forward to our next meal here. read more

I ordered the hummus trio to go. I have yet to dine in person but have tried the hummus before thanks to a friend. I used the pepper hummus and beet hummus to jazz up a board I was bringing to a Galentines event! The basil hummus I kept all the myself lol! I have to say though as someone who does not normally like beets I do like their beet hummus a lot! read more

My goodness! In a word: divine. We were enjoying a little mini-golf nearby and wanted to follow it up with some dinner. This spot was so highly rated, we new we had to give it a try. I'm so glad we did. Everything from the food to the service to the atmosphere is absolutely superb. To start, we got the hummus trio. It comes with perfectly pillowy bread for dipping. The hummus flavors are beetroot, pesto, and chili. They said you can mix and match. So, if there are flavors you prefer you can get more of that and skip one of the flavors you don't fancy. I wouldn't have changed a thing. All three were silky, flavorful, and just perfect in every way. For my main dish, I got the grilled salmon and paid a bit extra to have their batata harra on the side. It was well worth the extra cost because the often raved about batata harra lives up to the hype. The potatoes are flavorful and perfectly crispy. The salmon came with a buttery sauce that was light and lovely. Truly a remarkable first experience here! Get to it! read more

Lebnani House - Hummus trio (pesto, chili, and beetroot) - Lebanese Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Wonderful place for vegetarian. Falafels are great. Hummus trio is very unique and tasty. Creamy cucumber soup was a nice surprise. Egg plant salad was not as good as expected as the eggplant was not warm. Grill chicken was decent but not outstanding. Services were great. Katelit was so nice and attentive for us. The lobby was full of people at 8pm. Must be a popular place. read more

We ordered trio hummus, zaatr bread, and tabouleh for appetizers. The hummus was perfectly seasoned. My favorite was the basil one (green), they come with bread, so good! Zaatr bread tasted so fresh! House tabouleh was zesty and the pomegranate aerils added fun texture, it's like a party of flavors! Nice twist to traditional tabouleh. Falafel was crispy on the outside and nicely soft inside, not dry at all! The mix platter had amazing rice! I would probably just order a side of rice. Kunafa is a must try!!! It's a nice sweet and savory (from cheese) combo for desserts. Our friend had a surprise birthday song and dessert. Amazing service! And with such great ambience like that, we will be back! read more

Was traveling thru Milwaukee and looking for some Mediterranean food. Lebnani House was highly recommended by the Yelp Army and took their advice. We visited on a Tuesday afternoon and was seated with no issues. A very decorative restaurant with a very intimate setting when you and enjoy a meal for 2 or a group. Please note this restaurant does not serve alcohol, but make up for it with their intimate dining and delicious food. If alcohol is what you're expecting, might try a different restaurant. Again, Lebnani House will provide a great experience with reasonable prices. All food was served perfectly seasoned and good portions. Service was excellent and always checked up on us. Great food and great service made our experience memorable. If you're interested in trying great Mediterranean cuisine, give them a try!! read more

I went here with a group and we all ordered something different, which was helpful perspective. Everyone enjoyed what they got but the mixed plate was the most popular. The rice that came with our dishes was so yummy. The trio of hummus that was got was okay, but the bread that came with it was the highlight. It comes out fresh and warm. We didn't realize there wasn't alcohol, which is fine. We didnt love the drinks we ordered (mint lemonade was very acidic). Overall, would recommend and look forward to their new location closer to us! read more

Every once in a while you find a gem of a restaurant that you never forget. Karlita gave great friendly service and an amazing recommendation. I ordered a beef/tomato dish and she recommended ordering some hummus on the side since the dish was on the smaller size. Little did I know, the hummus would steal the show. That hummus was the creamiest and smoothest hummus I have ever tasted in my life. It also had all the flavor to back it up. It makes me want to marry into the family to get the recipe! The other beef/tomato dish was so abundant with flavor, it was intense! The bread on the side was very light and complemented the other two dishes perfectly. The colorful tree decoration in the middle of the restaurant made for a beautiful centerpiece as well. The seats were also comfortable and stylish. I can't wait to come back again! read more

This place is amazing! They have the best and creamiest hummus I've ever tried. The Shush Tawooq plate came with the garlic sauce / dip that just added flavor and zest to the plate. Chicken pieces were juicy and the bread that came with the plate dipped with garlic was so tasty. I love the grilled texture, highly recommend for anyone trying this place for the first time! The dinner rolls/bread rolls were almost pillowy / fluffy soft, it tasted great with hummus and garlic dip. I opted for the refreshing mango lemonade that came in with blended ice, super tasty and sweetness was just right. The ambience was nice and artsy, with 3d floral wall art and a flower tree display at the center of the restaurant. Staff was helpful, fast, and nice. I used their WiFi for my laptop and worked great. Lots of space, I can see this place getting crowded as their food speaks wonders. read more

Lebanani House provides a fantastic culinary journey to the Middle East. Located in a large, banquet-style room, the restaurant is comfortable, spotless, and authentic. With a vast menu catering to all tastes, deciding what to eat is difficult. However, the warm and engaging staff are pleased to guide you along. Everything tasted delicious, and the cooking remained loyal to the food's origins. Hummus was scrumptious, scooped up with the puffy Palestinian bread. Manoushe had us sighing with pleasure. My chicken Maqlouba transported me back to my trips to North Africa, the spices' flavors exploding in my mouth. Lebanani was wonderful. Prices are extremely reasonable. Staying true to its roots and the theological beliefs of the region, no alcohol is served. I'm Jewish, and as we left, I stopped to apologize for Israel's ferocity in Gaza and the West Bank. I wanted the staff to know that not every Jewish person believes Israel's actions are correct. Go to Lebanani House. You will be mightily pleased. read more

In my recent experience with Lebnani House, I really enjoyed the cuisine. I had the Shish Tawooq chicken skewers, which were delicious. Additionally, the service was excellent, and our waitress was attentive and friendly. We also shared the hummus trio, which was so good with the bread. We also had a flatbread, which was flavorful but a bit greasy. However, I did notice when arriving that there was food residue on my plate and lots of food crumbs on the chair I was sitting in, which, due to the backing, would have been difficult to remove. Additionally, the restaurant itself was a bit non-cohesive, having a lot of decorations which were individually interesting, but together a bit mismatched. read more

Lebnani House - Shish Tawooq - Lebanese Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

I love Lebnani. The food has always been incredible. The atmosphere is super charming. The staff is as friendly as can be found anywhere. The only reason I gave four stars is that the last time I visited, in October, the pacing of the meal was pretty intense. No matter when we ordered plates, they all seemed to come immediately and at the same time. Our table was too full for us to functionally dine, due to volume our party ordered. And the servers rushed the bill to us very quickly. I kind of felt like I'd been shoved out the door with too little time to full experience our meal. I know restaurants have to turn tables to profit, especially on a Friday night, but I feel honestly a little cheated by it. That said, every dish was as perfect as ever. read more

A colleague recommended this place to me and said everything they had was delicious but make sure to get the house mushrooms... and that I did. Dined in for two people for a late lunch and were quickly seated. The inside is so cute and feels so luxe. We ordered the house mushrooms, beef shawarma, and jordanian mansaf (normally only available on Fridays but they made extra from a large party order). I wasn't originally going to order the Mansaf but was upsold the item. It ended up not being something that my palate liked, but the portions were HUGE and I took it home to eat it with sauces that I had. It was very lamb-y and on the drier side. However, everything else we had was delicious and I will definitely come back to try what I wanted to order initially (kafta in tomato sauce). read more

People have been loving Lebnanii House and with good reason. I met the fam here for a weekend lunch and the place was PACKED. Reservations - they take ''em so you best make 'em. You'd never know this used to be an old school Pizza Hut (the kind with the tabletop Ms Pac Man) because the interior is gorgeous. Lots of deep blues, flowers and really interesting lighting. Perfect for groups and nice enough for date night. The menu goes far beyond typical hummus, shawarma and falafels and includes lots of dishes I've never seen or heard of before. Know that portions are HUGE and perfect for sharing so bring a group or plan on leftovers. We started with the hummus trio ($13) which was 3 giant bowls of beet, pesto and spiced hummus served with delicious fresh baked bread. This is the creamiest hummus I've ever had and the pesto version is hands down the best I've had anywhere. That was followed by chicken basil rolls (delicious), halloumi, a couple of stews that I can't recall the names of (but were delicious) and a giant flatbread that was so fresh and perfect. I think I'm forgetting other things but we ended up with a mountain of food! Service is genuinely hospitable and kind and the prices are a great value for what you get. I cannot wait to go back and try more things read more

I have been wanting to try Lebnani House since hearing about it a few months ago. We tried one of the fried cheese appetizers. Where can you go wrong with fried cheese? I got the mixed grill. The chicken shish tawook and kafta kebabs were my favorite of the 3. The steak was also amazing. Everything was so flavorful. I got veggies as a side. There were so many things on the menu that I want to try. I will definitely be back. read more

We visited and it's honestly hard to understand the great reviews. Just walking in, the lights are uncomfortably bright. It was like eating in an operating room. We started with the pine nut hummus. The bread that came with it was great. The hummus was very tart and there were hardly any pine nuts. We also had the pistachio chicken bites which were very good. Main courses: My wife had the chicken fatteh which she thought was mediocre. I had the mixed grill. While the chicken was delicious and moist (and I recommend it if you eat here), the steak and ground meat skewers were so overcooked they were hardly edible. The rice was very bland- I had to salt it. Overall, it was a disappointment. read more

Lebnani House - Gosh! This place is a gem.. delicious food. Relax atmosphere. Definitely would recommend.. a must try. I got the lamb chops - Lebanese Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Love the contemporary atmosphere, the friendly wait-staff, and the interesting Levantine specialties. It's our third visit. The drinks (all non-alcoholic) are pricey, and most of the entrees are around $20. The Friday special (lamb shank) was dry, so the Yoghurt sauce is necessary. I would have preferred the juices of the lamb. The skewered chicken (or beef) is dramatic, but not particularly flavorful. Their version of pita is interesting, especially with some of the hummus varieties. Generally, the Levantine foods are basic, with some interesting herbal flavors, but this is not haute cuisine-- nor does it need to be. Four of us pretended it was a nice trip to the Middle East. read more

Place looks nice on the inside, soft colors with tranquil songs playing throughout. We were seated quickly, but unfortunately it took them a while to come to us for service. We noticed others enter and be seen before we ever saw our server. I did not feel welcomed here and that might have been due to the sub-par service at the beginning of the meal. When our server finally arrived, I decided to go with the Shawarma, while my daughter went with the Armenian lahm bi ajin (Lamajun). This was the last we saw of our server for a while. My daughter got the watermelon lemonade, which arrived about 5 minutes after we ordered. Our food arrived about 15 minutes after we ordered, a reasonable time and an eye catching presentation. Chicken was cooked well, tender and juicy, flavored just right. According to my daughter, the lahm bi ajin has a wide array of spices peppered throughout that felt like a firework in her mouth every time she bit into it. I tried it too, but unfortunately I grew up on Armenian Lamajun and it could not compare with grandma's cooking - no points off for that though, not a fair judgement. The cost was reasonable, $20 was where the meals topped off at with many selections even lower. Overall scores: Food. - 7.9 Atmosphere. - 7.5 Service - 6.5 Cost - 8.0 I would give Lebnani House a score of 7.5. I would probably return and try other menu items. I just hope service would be better next time. read more

This is my first time trying Lebanese food. I'm not really into Mediterranean food but this place has really good food! I didn't know what to get so I relied on our host to choose. They are vegetarians and mentioned that the meat here is excellent but we politely had them do all the ordering. We had the following: Pita bread with 3 kinds of hummus. Bread was fresh and soft, the yellow hummus was spicy, the purple one was mild but I didn't get a chance to try the green one. There was 16 of us after all! Lentil soup was delicious! I expected like an Indian lentil but this was better! Detected a lemon flavor I think but no traces of lentils. 2 kinds of salad, very rich in dressing, not your boring salad at all! Potatoes were a bit overdone, too crispy. Our host did order the rice with chicken for us and veggie style rice for the rest of the gang. Rice and chicken were super tasty! We had a lot of leftover rice and they asked if we wanted it to go. Out of politeness we said no thank you thinking some people could be very particular about having non veg items in their fridge. And I also thought that declining it could also be an indication of impoliteness. The next day, they served alot of leftovers for lunch at home and one of them was the vegetarian rice. I ate that to my heart's content! Falafel which I didn't have a chance to eat, there were 4 in a serving. Alexia our waitress was super and did a fantastic job attending to our needs. Next time, I'll venture into more Mediterranean food. I knew this place was gonna be good due to its high ratings in Yelp! read more

Friends and I try to hit a new place for a group dinner once a month, this month it was Lebnani, it was a great choice. Service was great and enough room around table that everyone felt comfortable. Shared a mix of appetizers and main dishes, no one was disappointed. Hummus with fresh bread disappeared faster than the bowl could be handed around. My main meal was the Mixed Grill, meats were just perfect. Only minor disappointment was Soda in cans and no Diet white soda. Totally recommend excellent food. read more

We had a fantastic experience at Lebnani House. We came out to celebrate an accomplishment and we feasted. The service was terrific, as was the food.

Beautiful interior, great service, a little loud when it's busy (of course) but not enough to be a problem. Everything we ordered was delicious. My only "critique" is literally just the plating of the Lebnani House Beef Shawarma. While beautiful and a statement, practicality wise it was a bit difficult since all the meat is on the skewer and the plate it comes out on is a bit small, mostly only fitting the rice you get on the side. Nonetheless, still worth getting because that's how good it tasted! Would definitely come back again and want to be more adventurous in trying dishes I'm not as familiar with. read more

The service felt unwelcoming. I visited with a group of coworkers and we did not feel particularly welcome by the staff. The food was average. The classic hummus was overly lemony and sour, while another hummus--possibly a beet-based version--was noticeably better. Additionally, there is a large painting or image in the restaurant that appears to depict Israel being erased and replaced by Palestine. Regardless of personal views, this felt uncomfortable and unprofessional in a dining environment. Food and hospitality should bring people together and promote warmth and inclusion, not division. I'm not from the region, but the overall experience felt awkward and detracted from what could have been an enjoyable meal. read more

Our group of 8 are at Lebnani House for my sister's birthday and I could not have better things to say! We took the approach of ordering a bunch of different options and sharing. Our server had great recommendations and was so friendly and on top of things (we can be a chaotic group when it comes to decision making). We tried various flatbreads, chicken Schwarma, and more! My favorite was the hummus trio, which had 3 different flavors to try. The bread was so incredible we asked for a box to take it home. 10/10 experience and I would definitely recommend eating here with a big or small group! read more

I have known about this place for several months and was so excited to finally try it out, and guys, it lives up to the hype! The actual restaurant is beautiful - the decorations can even be seen from the outside and definitely make it seem like a place you need to be! The inside is bright and clean. We went with a reservation made a few days prior and were seated right away. We were given the option of eating in the main dining room or on their patio, which was an enclosed space with heaters. We decided to eat on the patio because it was a bit quieter than the main area, but it did get a little chilly towards the end and about halfway into our meal, we were the only ones on the patio which made it really quiet - by the end, we were wishing we were in the main area. We skipped the mocktails (no alcohol served here), but would definitely love to try them the next time - they looked really good! We ended up getting several different dishes as there was so much we wanted to try! We got the muttabal, halloumi, grape leaves, cheese and zaatar manouse, and batata harra. All of it was truly very good! The muttabal was very similar to baba ganoush, with the exception of tahini, I think. The flatbread they served with it was EXCELLENT. It was warm, soft, and delicious all on its own and even better with the muttabal and batata harra. I didn't know what to expect with the manoushe, but the crust was crispy and the flavor from the zaatar was very homey. I would say the food is not pretentious at all, but they do it very well. Though rare for us, we decided to get dessert even though we were stuffed. We decided on the umm Ali and my husband got a single Turkish coffee to go with it. The dessert was good, but very sweet personally and I'm not sure I would get it again but my husband enjoyed it with his coffee quite a bit. The staff were overall pleasant. Our main waitress took excellent care of us, but the waitress who brought the coffee and our bill didn't say a word to us or even smiled. read more
