The last time we tried to eat here we were told they were fully booked and this time we saw several people turned away. This time around with a reservation, we were excited to eat here but the food felt very short of our expectations. The food was ok, there were some hits and lots of misses. Food: 3/5 We had the octopus stew and kibbeh as appetizers. The octopus was perfectly cooked, not rubbery or chewy, it was nice and tender - off to a good start! But it was bland, there was absolutely no flavor. The kibbeh was dry though the filling had good flavors and lots of potential. My husband had the lamb stew and it was just ok. If it wasn't for my main course, I would have scored this place 2 stars. I had the duck confit and it was cooked perfectly, meat was almost falling off the bone, tons of flavor, crispy skin. The roasted potatoes were delicious and the little salad balanced the fattiness. There was only 1 standout dish from 4, and with a menu that isn't very big, it seems that the odds are against you. Service: 2/5 Not much to say, standard Dutch service - slow, awkward. They also didn't really seem to know what they were doing. A large group of 15 walked in, they had reserved, and the waitstaff became extremely flustered - didn't you know they were coming? Atmosphere: 3/5 It is a very cool location and they have a beautiful table with various appetizers they assemble for your tasting platter. There is even a old CRT monitor converted into a flower pot. What I didn't like is that people would come in and just leave the door open. It is cold outside guys! The waitstaff just ignored it, so if you do not want to freeze you will have to get up and close the door each time some muppet does not close the door. Value: 2/5 At 25 euros/person for an appetizer and a main, it seemed reasonable but the portions are tiny and that didn't include drinks. We were quite hungry afterwards... I would recommend making a reservation, but with food like this, don't even bother coming. I'm not sure why it is so packed!

I just give three stars to this restaurant because of the Food that didnt sweet me.. The restaurant…read moreand lcation is reslly nice... Ich finde der Preis leistungsverhältnis nicht ganz passend. Teuren Hauptpreise und es schmecke nicht ganz gut, mein Lammschulter war meiner Meinung nach zu viel gekocht, sodass es nicht mehr schmeckte ohne Gewürze und die Sauce viel zu viel pickant. Das schönsten dabei war der Eigenspeisen, lecker und gut kombiniert... Ich würde bestimmt empfehlen aber nicht ganz total... Ich bin ganz kritisch von Natur, weil ich selber sehr oft in der Küche stehe also kann sein dass es viele anderen gefällt aber mir war das gerade ausreichend... Der lokale einfach sehr schön, da würde ich dem vollen Punktzahl geben.

The service was great, very attentive and was even recognized on our second visit. Ambiance was calm and friendly, definitely would recommend 10000%

Small quaint Lebanese restaurant. Super clean with quick and courteous service. The food was…read moreAHHmazing! We had the Labneh Bil Thoum, Batata Harra, Halloumi Kase, Baba Ghannousch, and Sambusil Bil Lahmeh. Also included was warm flatbread for the dipping. The flavors really popped with each dish and I would say you don't need to order a salad because there is plenty as a garnish (see photos below)! I would say it compares to some of the best we had in Beirut in 2022!
