I was looking for different and unique along this self-directed food tour of the Delmar Loop, and we did find that here at Ranoush. Before 7pm, our small party of four were almost the only ones in and that was pleasant. The hookahs were not being used and the place was quite comfortable. We ordered a couple of appetizers and enjoyed them. The pita with baked halloumi cheese was very delicious and still so even after it had cooled while we were talking. The spicy potatoes were good though not particularly spicy. And the basket of pita breads were irresistible and yes, super hot! The service was great and the seating is comfortable. My only disappointment is that they had nothing particularly special to drink. No Lebanese wine or even regional imported beer. I was hoping for something different.

I got chicken shawarma from here and it was so flavorful!! The garlic sauce was also delicious and the rice was somehow even more delicious and full of aromatics. Yum!! read more

Ranoush - Chicken Shawarma - Middle Eastern Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

The family had a taste for Mediterranean food so we went to a place the youngest had never tried and we haven't been to in a while. We ordered the hummus and Kalaj for appetizers and both were good. Their pita is very hearty. My husband and daughter really liked it. It was good to me but I like a lighter pita. My daughter had the Chicken Shawarma sandwiches with fries, I had the Chicken Shawarma plate, and my husband had the mixed grill. We all really enjoyed our food and the portion sizes were abundant. The food was seasoned very well and the rice was light, fluffy, and flavorful. The garlic sauce that accompanied it was amazing. It's probably the best garlic sauce we've ever had. Service was fast, and our waiter was friendly. Good experience overall. read more

Came here on a Monday night with a friend. We got a table right away. The service was pretty quick and our server is friendly. They had a great menu lots of good looking cocktails. We split an appetizer french fries and a main chicken dish. the portions are really big, the food was really tasty and I would gladly come back and try a new dish. It was super clean inside and looked like it was freshly redecorated. It was right across from the ice cream shop where we went and got some dessert. there's no parking lot and you park on the street which is what you expect when you go to Central West End I would recommend going on a not super busy night read more

We came here originally for hookah but decided to try some food as well! It was a nice day out so we sat outside. They have a good amount of tables outside in front of the restaurant. Next time, I'll bring my small dog to sit outside with us :) Inside is a dimmed cozy ambiance. We got the mezza for two. The food was tasty and nicely plated. The bread was fresh and fluffy! My husband said the hookah was good. They use reusable hose but give an option to purchase a one time use hose.. overall the hookah is on the pricier side for okay-ish hookah compared to other hookah lounges we've been to. Service was good. Gratuity was included in our bill , even for a party of 2. We would come back since this is the only hookah lounge near us . read more

I had a terrible experience there was only 1 worker so i tried to be patient! She never checked on me, didnt change my hookah coals, and she charged me a gratuity even though i was by myself???? Im guessing she added her tip??? I had a hookah and 1 drink my total was almost $100 read more

Absolutely love the food, the outdoor seating (which has recently been expanded), and the people are all so friendly! I also love that they're open late and I can get late night deliveries of my favorite dish...chicken schwarma!!! The garlic sauce is !!! The only thing that could be improved is updating the furniture on the inside...but other than that, it's cool! read more

I had never had Roboush before and ended up getting it door dashed, so this review is solely about the food. I cannot speak on the dine in experience. I had trouble deciding what I wanted because it all sounded pretty delicious. I ended up getting the chicken kafta. We also got some fries and kabis to split (olives and pickles). Food was prepared quickly by the restaurant. My chicken kafta was served with rice and the Syrian salad. The spices on the chicken were super delicious. The chicken is minced, which I like but would probably stick with non- minced next time (just personal preference). The salad was very simple but it was fresh. Rice was a good accompaniment for the chicken. I really liked the fries and the seasoning on them. read more

It's been years since I've been to St Louis but I made it a point to return to Ranoush! Exceptional food with an equally impressive staff. Everything was just right with the mezze platter for two that could have easily fed three. Don't miss the mint tea, a perfect accompaniment. Fun part of town with easy parking, too. read more

Ranoush - Traditional Mezza for Two - Middle Eastern Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Party of 7 out for Sunday dinner and Noah was our server. Complimentary freshly made pitas and smokey hummus that was as smooth as whipped butter arrived. Upon Noah's recommendation, we started with the traditional mezza for two and subbed a couple offerings, so we ended up with baba ghanoush, fatayer, arayes, falafel, and jalapeño poppers and all agreed the recommendation was spot on. As the pita baskets emptied they were refilled (much to this patron's delight! Instant fan!). Main courses included beef shawarma, vegetarian platter, mixed grill, and shish tawak. Highlights: shish tawak was moist and flavorful, the muhammra may have become a favorite on the spot, the baba ghanoush was rich and creamy, falafel was light and crispy, and the plating for everyone was beautiful. The pitas, however may have changed my life. I will easily return for just those and muhammra and be a completely happy customer. Many thanks to the owner and Noah, the best server ever, for making our first visit one that will lead to many returns. read more

Came here on a Saturday night after not being able to dine at a neighboring restaurant. I hadn't been here since 2022 for hookah with a friend. It was freezing outside and nice and cozy inside. We were seated immediately and our waitress was very attentive considering it was starting to fill up. I was a bit bummed they didn't have the cinnamon kahwa so I had to think of an alternative for my drink. I was only here for a light snack/meal so I ordered the wings. The garlic sauce that came with it was heavenly. The flavor of the chicken, phenomenonal. I tried the hummus of my friend's plate and it tasted mostly like chickpeas and tahini with not a single ounce of garlic. Definitely better suited for vampires. The bread that came with it was warm, soft and puffy. I asked for Crown Royal Peach straight and they put it in a cute cup. It was almost $11 for that baby cup but I definitely warmed up. My only complaint was the god awful burnt grease smell that smelled super prominent by the restrooms. :-/ read more

Ranoush is a hookah bar on the Delmar Loop. It's Syrian cuisine, highlighted by an array of appetizers known as meze, including familiar items such as hummus and baba gannoujh, alongside more adventurous options such as the flavorful fava bean dish. Ranoush has a diverse range of fruity hookah flavors as well. This is such a chill place just to hang out with friends and have a few appetizers. read more

Great drinks but the felafels were just okay. But the drinks were phenomenal!! Let me say it it again, the libations were delicious!

Smooth vibe here. I didn't realize it was a hookah bar, I usually order via Uber eats. Now that I've visited in person it's time for a review. Hands down I like the majority of the food. I love Mediterranean but for the major "classic" items they fall a little short. The tahini and baklava and the mixed drinks. But honestly, everything else is really good. The vibe here is very chill, the service is comparable to a Mediterranean hookah bar so be prepared to "not feel rushed" and low sitting furniture. There is a wide selection of hookah to choose from. It is definitely worth a visit, you don't have to drive too deep into The Loop and on a nice day you can sit outside and people watch too read more

This is such a cool and laid back place to go! The food and drink hit the spot. I tried the Battata Harra and chicken shawarma and both were delicious filled with ethnic spices and so much flavor! The potatoes were cooked to perfection and the chicken was so tender and paired well w the basmati rice and pita! Highly recommend you visit this place any day of the week. Our sever Tiara was also great and gave great flavor recommendations for the Hookah and made us some good drinks. Service was super fast and the patio area was super comfy. read more

First time was great, second order wasn't as impressive (less food, higher price). Probably an issue of the current economic situation.

I love Ranoush! The staff are friendly, the food is excellent, and the hookah is great. I used to frequent their CWE location but since the fire wiped out half the block I've been going to their location on the loop. Thankfully many of the CWE staff are now there and it's always good to see their familiar faces. try the chicken shawrma, it is great! When they have their homemade pita bread it is amazing. Unfortunately sometimes they use a pre-made one that is thin and not as fluffy. Their hummus is excellent and so is the babaganoush. They've got a good selection of shisha for the hookahs and some options to elevate the experience. You won't be mad you tried it! read more

At first I was a little bit hesitant about coming here because I always see people smoking hookah during the night time but decided to try their food anyways. There's a pretty strong smell inside the restaurant and so that's why, I'm guessing, they offer you to sit outside when you first come. But the food was actually surprisingly good. I ordered the Mixed Grill and although it was a little bit on the more expensive side it was actually pretty good. Is it weird to say that my favorite part was the rice with the salad dressing. I also really liked the garlic sauce and the bread, wow the bread is actually so good. Definitely would recommend if you want to try the different meat cuts, the chicken was my favorite. Overall would recommend. read more

Ranoush - Ranoush Mixed Grill - Middle Eastern Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Dining out in St Louis after a while - seems normal , no masks, no temperature check.. We chose to sit indoors - it had a rustic ambiance with low sofas and high tables. They also had hookahs. Now to to the food; the appetizers were delicious- kibbeh was a standout served with a yoghurt sauce and salad. The babganoush and mahmurra was excellent. Lamb chops, chicken touk and lamb seekh were all top notch- all served with a delicious garlic sauce, salad and fragrant rice. The chicken Kafta was passable though. The dessert was a mixed bag- baklava was dry but the Kunafeh was delicious. Service was so prompt and friendly. Will surely be back read more

We were on Delmar and needed some lunch, so we popped in here. It was nice and cozy inside and I really enjoyed the chairs. Our waiter was fast and friendly. The mint tea was delicious. We ordered the Traditional Mezza for two. There was plenty for all 3 of us. Everything was seasoned well and yummy. The initial basket of pitas were cold and stale, however we were brought a fresh basket right away. Those pitas were fresh and hot! Sadly they were out of both their desserts, but we'll just have to come back! read more

Sat outside on a beautiful Saturday afternoon for lunch. We started with the Traditional Mezza for two which was plentiful and delicious....enough for the 4 of us!

My husband and I were not happy with the food, service and environment.. I never leave reviews but I had to say something!! The food was mediocre at best.. our appetizers tasted like they came out of a box, falafel and kibbeh. Our bill was $150 with $23 for gratuity already added in.. we were definitely overcharged for what we received. Service was not good and the restaurant was dirty. I was so disappointed as I seen the reviews! Maybe it was an off day for the restaurant ‍ but I would not recommended norgo back. read more

We came here as we finally drove into St. Louis. Finally, we have arrived !! I searched for restaurants for 3 hours on our drive from the border of Indiana and Illinois till now. We got in late and saw this place was open. As we were walking up, the area looked kinda sketchy. But when we walked In, it was like a different world. Reminded me of LA's atmosphere of the hookah crowd. We sat down and ordered a ranoush mix and vegetable mix. Both were delicious. The hummus was on point, ganoush was good, the red stuff the waiter, James, said was good for us was also good. Beef, chicken and lamb were moist and not dried out. The garlic sauce or whatever was under the chicken and rice was good. Tabouleh was good everything was good. Portions for a tad small for my liking but I'm also 200 plus lbs. Wife ordered a pineapple hookah and loved it. I don't smoke so I couldn't comment on that. Everything was good. We got baklava and James said he didn't want to sell it to us since it was 2 days old possibly. It was a little dry but delicious. So I see what he was saying and can't fault him for being honest. Overall excellent. read more

We went there with a group of 8 at about 5:30 to beat the crowd. As we were looking over the menu, we began to get traces of weed. The waiter told us that was common as people would smoke in their car and then walk in. It is a hookah lounge, so I wouldn't doubt that amidst the tobacco grass may get mixed in. We were turned off by the smells there. We were about to order as the very patient water made his rounds taking orders, but just as we were ordering, we got another big whiff. With that, we excised ourselves from our family and friends and went to eat somewhere else. Yup, we actually walked out of the place. It was a bit dark inside and not really a family friendly or in our minds, romantic sort of place, or at least that's what we felt. We all were ending up at one of the friend's houses, so not a total loss for us. The menu looked good, but I had to dig a bit to find something without meat. I would have been fine with the falafel wrap. One of our friends was raving about the food and so everyone agreed to give the place a try. That person always carries out and so never actually ate inside. After we met up with everyone, they said the food was good, but they too didn't appreciate the smell of weed. Maybe the other location in U. City would be better for us and we may try that one day. In this case for us, I can't give it much of a rating as the atmosphere did us in from the get go. We all were a bit surprised by the fact that they allow smoking inside as it is a smoke free county. But then, a hookah lounge might be in the gray area of the ordinance. See what you think... Apparently,, they do a great business... read more

Ranoush - Vegetarian Platter Hummus pita - Middle Eastern Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Honestly, a super disappointing experience. While none of the items we tried (with the exception of the hummus) I would deem "bad", they sure weren't anywhere "good" in my book. Everything was lacking flavor and both the pita bread and falafel, both of which are relatively easy to make, tasted pre-packaged. Although our server was very friendly when she did come around, she was not super attentive. My mom and I probably waited for 15 minutes before our order was taken and by the time our food came out, I hadn't received my diet pepsi to drink. While this might be a fun place for a hookah night, I wouldn't recommend the food unless you want something so incredibly mediocre. read more

In my personal opinion there are few cuisines tastier in this world than good Middle Eastern food. This Middle Eastern Syrian influenced restaurant, Ranoush hits all the right notes on my pallet. My favorite dishes are the Mixed Grill, Shish Taouk, and shawarma. I recommend to add a side of Hummus, some fresh pita bread and garlic sauce to really put things over the top. The meat is tender, juicy and packed with a precise mixture of flavors. Everything is made fresh to order, including the Pita bread and it's always served hot. There is ample seatings both indoor and outdoor. Street parkings are limited however there are free parking lots nearby. The staff is courteous and attentive. Will definitely visit again. read more
