    A very pleasant outside eating area on a perfect day The food was fresh, flavorful, and delicious Our server was excellent

    Beef shawarma is delicious!

    This lovely spot in Wynwood is a rare gem. A place where you can score a divine meal without draining your wallet. I tried the beef shwarma, which was a juicy delight. The fries it came with were crispy perfection. The walls of mismatched prints and Mediterranean colors add to the places charm. The service was impeccable. I am already dreaming of my next visit.

    Street parking in wynnwood which can be a busy place, it's not in the main part so parking was accessible tonight. Sat in their nice outdoor courtyard that's laid back and not too packed. It's enclosed so feels safe. The mezzes were amazing. My favorites being the fattousch salad and muhammara. The hummus, falafel, and roasted potatoes were very tasty too. I tried some of the chicken kebobs which were ok. I'd maybe try the shawarma next time or honestly just stick with the mezzes, which were my favorites of the whole dinner. Service was friendly. Id recommend and return.

    Had an incredible lunch at Lira today! The food, the hospitality, the entire experience... PERFECTION. We started with the mint lemonade, which was absolutely divine- bright, refreshing, and the perfect start. Then we chose a bunch of apps: The FATTOUSH was honestly the best I've ever had anywhere (aside from my boyfriend's homemade salad) . The LIRA LABNEH was another standout: mixed with Lebanese olives, walnuts, garlic, and parsley. Creamy, tangy, and super addictive! We also had the WARAK ENAB (stuffed grape leaves), the MUHAMMARA, and the GRILLED HALLOUMI & WATERMELON, and BATATA HARRA (similar to the Spanish "Patatas Bravas") and they were ALL spectacular and full of flavor. Just when we thought we couldn't eat another bite, they brought out a beautiful platter of CHICKEN SHAWARMA and CHICKEN TAWOUK, both outstanding. Even the FRIES were amazing! Finished with the trio of VEGAN GELATO (date, pistachio, and dark chocolate) and every flavor was perfect. Ahmed's hospitality was truly next level. This is Arab hospitality at its finest: genuine, generous, and unforgettable. He's warm, gracious, full of amazing stories, and sets such a beautiful tone for the restaurant. Our waitress Candela was lovely, too: attentive, friendly, and so sweet. Honestly, everyone we interacted with there was great. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful, and the music is incredible... the kind of vibe that makes you want to stay all afternoon. I can't say enough about Lira. I left happy, very (very) full, and so grateful for places like this. Already planning my return!

    BEETROOT HUMMUS. MOUTTABAL, MUHAMMARA

    We had such a great experience at Lira Beirut Eatery! From the moment we walked in, the service was warm, and genuinely welcoming. The staff made us feel welcome and checked in on us throughout our meal. The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the mulekheya, beef shawarma, and finished with the love bites and kunafa for dessert. Every dish was full of flavor and tasted fresh and authentic. The beef shawarma was perfectly seasoned, the mulekheya was comforting and so well made, and the desserts were the perfect ending to the meal.

    The food and service was great. I think the portions are a bit small for the price but overall very delicious food. I think the middle eastern decor and music added the perfect touch to the experience. My favorite was the decorative pillows with Arabic writing on them along with some old school music I recognized. Great place for a date night or family dinner.

    This was my first time having Lebanese food! The service was great! They did have someone who didn't speak English that came to our table a few times (Spanish only) so it was difficult communicating with him. The waitress explained many of the dishes to us so we could make our selection. She was kind and attentive to us. I had beef dishes that were excellent. I tried the hummus -cilantro - lacking flavor, but nice and clean. Overall, I would definitely visit here again .

    They say beauty can come from suffering. As a land that has seen its fortune boom and bust over millennia, Lebanon is a multi-layered, complex country, full of contradictions, historical significance, joy and beauty. Lira Beirut celebrates this through its food, decor and service. The whole vibe of the place seems extracted from a cool corner of Beirut with beautiful retro-cool artwork that is colorful, happy and sophisticated. From graphic prints, to black and white photos and architectural studies, it gives you a sense of a culture that takes the best of the middle east and cosmopolitan worlds. That sets the stage for the food served here. This is not a watered-down shawarma spot to pacify over-served revelers. It's a place to meet real foodie friends who appreciate authenticity and carefully prepared dishes in an elevated way. I haven't had a chance to go to the Middle East, but I can tell from the deft use of spices, heat and technique that their intention is to share the best from their food memory of the old country. I've gone on a few occasion and really enjoyed the fattoush salad, the labneh mtwame, the muhammara, the chicken shawarma plate and the kafta. Many of the dishes come with the crispiest, most addictive fries I've had, gorgeous savory rice and a heap of fresh, fragrant herbs. Even the wine list is pretty nice, and I've had the well priced Sauvignon Blanc and the Pouilly Fuisse. I wished the location were better for us and for them. It could use a more visible location where nice traffic goes by it. Since it's at the edge of Wynwood where it borders with the slowly gentrifying Overtown, it could take a while before its riches are recognized. I can't wait to go back for happy hour again, and I long to see the day when this becomes an awesome neighborhood hangout as they build more apartment buildings in the area that can house people who will appreciate all that Lira Beirut offers.

    I'm not sure about the Mediterranean cuisine scene in Miami just yet but I thought this place was good. I had the cutter and it felt overpriced for what it was but I'll say the owner is very kind and gave us wine tastings the outside seating is really nice so really appreciated that I'll be coming back to enjoy the restaurant more.

    MIXED GRILL

    Best Mediterranean restaurant in Miami!!! We got the Lira mixed combo, and the kafta skewer and lamb chops were amazing -- they just melt in your mouth. The appetizers were delicious, and I highly recommend the cilantro hummus and muhammara. Also, the best ice cream I've had! The ambiance is so relaxing. Loved this restaurant and would definitely come back.

    we came here for dinner and had a wonderful time! alicia helped us out and she was super friendly, attentive, and helpful. she gave us great recommendations on drinks, appetizers, and food and did not steer us wrong. there's also a sweet surprise for first timers--ask about it the first time you come here, and you definitely should come here because it's delicious! don't miss the dip trio, especially during happy hour. absolutely insanely tasty, and the beef shawarma entree was spiced perfectly. the restaurant has a cute garden outside and the inside is cozy and inviting. we recommend sitting on the benches if possible, the pillows and cushions are super comfy. if you can, ask for alicia! she was fantastic and if we lived closer then we would definitely be back regularly for all of our special occasions.

For context, I worked in fine dining in New York and Miami for almost 20 years, so I notice the details immediately, hospitality, management presence, the energy of a room. You can usually tell pretty quickly what kind of operation you're dealing with. We were a party of five. I arrived with my four-year-old son and was greeted warmly by the hostess. That warmth ended instantly. Standing directly behind her were two managers in suits blocking the main entrance. Both looked straight at me and my child and said absolutely nothing. No hello, no smile, no acknowledgment. Anyone in hospitality knows that moment sets the tone. As an Arab woman who grew up around a culture where hospitality is everything, it was already a bad sign. We were seated outside and the vibe stayed cold. Unfortunately, the food matched it. We ordered a lot because I genuinely wanted to give the kitchen a fair shot. I grew up eating Lebanese food and what stood out most was the lack of soul. Everything felt flat, like it needed salt, lemon, brightness, that warm Mediterranean seasoning Lebanese food is known for. The tabouli was especially shocking. A $20+ tabouli with no bulgur that was so roughly chopped it was basically whole parsley leaves and slices of onion. Any Lebanese auntie would die at the sight of it. At one point I asked our server if they had harissa or any kind of spicy sauce. She said the only option was Sriracha. In a Lebanese restaurant that charges $18 for a tablespoon of hummus. An Asian chili sauce as the only option. What made it even stranger is that harissa is listed on multiple dishes on the menu, so it clearly exists somewhere in the building. I asked for the Sriracha anyway out of desperation for flavor. It never came. Same with ketchup for my toddler's fries, it took three requests. Throughout the meal I walked around the restaurant several times taking my son to the bathroom, looking around the space, even going upstairs to the lounge. Not a single person acknowledged us. Not a host, not a server, not a manager. The bar is right by the entrance and every time we looked over at the bartender and bar manager, just blank stares. At one point we were clearly standing there confused looking for the bathroom in an empty restaurant and still had to say "Excuse me, where is the bathroom?" Wild. Later I walked up to the bar myself to ask if they carried mezcal. After dinner I went back to order one. Same energy--zero warmth, zero engagement. And this is with an automatic 20% gratuity already on the bill. The mezcal was a $25 two-ounce pour and I still had to ask for an orange slice garnish because no one offered it. Empty bar, two people behind it, and I still had to request it. Also worth noting, our reservation was at 5:45pm and the restaurant was practically empty. Yet I didn't see a single manager walking the floor, greeting tables, or checking on guests. I had talked this place up to my party because I'd been so curious about it for years, and it was honestly a huge letdown. If you know Lebanese food and understand Middle Eastern warmth and hospitality, this probably isn't the place for you. Expect cold, almost nonexistent hospitality and food that feels stripped of the soul that makes Lebanese cuisine special. The space is beautiful. I'll give them that. Everything else felt like a very on-brand Miami disappointment, what happens when you give people a beautiful restaurant, expensive food, automatic gratuity, and no leadership. From the lack of authenticity and attention to detail, it's hard to believe anyone truly Lebanese is behind this operation. If anything, it feels more like a polished money grab. Honestly, it might have been less jarring if they just called themselves "Mediterranean" like so many other places in this city. But if you're going to call yourself a Lebanese restaurant, the culture and hospitality should actually be there.

They were responsive, flexible with the setup, and helped organize the seating so our group felt comfortable while still enjoying the energy of the restaurant.

However, that's not the worst part. I had an absolutely nauseating experience with the arayes, which is one of my favorite dishes that I make at home from time to time too. It smelled like cigarettes, gasoline, and death. I don't know how else to describe it.
