Solid food. They have hookah which you can smoke on the patio with your 13 y/o house hippo (dog) and then the bouncer will very politely ask if the dog as been there the whole time then a bus hits the curb. It was dinner and a show. read more

The ambience here is great, as well as friendly service and delicious food. The entrees are quite rice heavy but super tender chicken and great roasted red pepper dip. My standout favorite was the baklava cake hybrid dessert! 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

The ambiance was good and this was a fun experience. The music was great and the seating was comfortable. We had already eaten and so our group ordered drinks and hookah. The drinks were really good and we enjoyed our time. The service was good and our host was funny. It was pretty busy when we first arrived, but we weren't waiting long to be seated. I would recommend this place. There were a lot of college students present. read more

First time here and the kibbeh filling were pretty good. Outside a little thick but the yogurt was good and it had a lot of flavor. The mixed grill was tasty. Lamb was a little tough but the chicken was grilled to perfection. Rice was fantastic and the pits could have used a little salt but great service. None of the serving staff were wearing masks which was a little weird to me but still tasty nonetheless. read more

Pros: + A huge surprise - don't let the exterior fool you. + Phenomenal food with outstanding service + Highly recommend chicken schwarma + Great for vegetarians - particularly the vegetarian platter. It is much more exciting than just plain old steamed vegetables. + Kahwah (Arabic coffee) - definitely give this a taste. Enhanced with rose water and cardamom. Cons: - Wish it were a little easier to park here. read more

Came here for a late night dinner and food was alright. Nice music, food, hookah, etc. Got 4 very thin lamb chops that were charbroiled and had decent flavor. Regular basic white rice, small salad and a very dried out pita bread. Portions were good and filling but overall food wasn't the greatest Mediterranean food I've had. With all the great reviews I was definitely expecting more flavor. No hummus or garlic sauce either with the food. Which was a little strange as other place do give you even a small side to mix with the food. read more

My husband and I came here today for a dinner. This was my first time here. We were greeted and got table right away. Very friendly staff. We were able to watch the cooking// creating process. We got hummus and kalaj for appetizers. Hummus was amazing, creamy and tasty, pita was hot and delicious, kalaj was very good but very tIny. For my entree I got shish tawok , juicy Chicken breast seasoned to perfection. Fluffy rice was very good, garlic sauce was super creamy and fresh veggies very tasty and crunch. I do enjoy a good crunch. My husband got mixed grill and enjoyed it very much. He said the lamb was super tender. This place is on our repeat list now. We will be back! read more

Food quality and taste is very good. All ingredients fresh and hot. There is a pub vibe- booze, music, noisy and busy. Bit dingy furniture, tried their best to keep the place clean. It's not a quiet date night place. Don't plan on discussing your business here. Drink, eat, smoke, lose your mind and take a cab. read more

The St. Charles location is so bad. The drinks are overpriced and inconsistent. Over $10 for a whiskey sour that tastes like citrus water. Ordered the same drink and it tastes totally different, but still not right. The food (lamb kabob) was completely bland and tough. I won't be returning. There were too many employees present for our table to be covered in dirty dishes and used cups. The atmosphere was cool...the dj wasn't great. read more

Great find. This place was so fun and authentic. We ordered babaghanoush (delish), spicy potatoes, we received hummus from the owner for free...alongside homemade piping hot bread! Our entrees were lamb kabob and beef kaftah. The entrees come with that amazing garlic whipped magical goodness....so good! I would like to try the chicken kaftah next time, we also received free baklavah just cuz the owner was awesome. He chatted with us for a while and knowing we were new in town was so friendly and inviting. I will be back and will bring friends! read more

So I remember seeing this place months ago while in the Delmar loop and it was so cute I had to make sure I went back to try it. My first time trying Mediterranean food and it was definitely worth it. I ordered lamb kabobs, it came with basmati rice and salad and pita bread and this delicious garlic aioli sauce. Had to order extra of that stuff. So good! They had a lot of different menu items like chicken shawarma and beef as well. They have really cute outside seating, I wanted to sit outside but it was super packed. The inside has a really nice date night vibe. Dim lights, really nice comfortable chairs. They also offer hookah and after 9pm they start to turn up and play good hip hop music, definitely a vibe! read more

Sunday evening at Ranoush was not a good experience. The dining room staff were inattentive, walking past our table many times without asking us if we wanted anything. Our server was very polite and took our order, then made herself scarce for the rest of our time there. We were served our orders in a timely manner, but our beverages were refilled once and then not again. After we finished our meals, the server who took our order appeared with a slip of paper with the bill total. Once the payment method was provided to the server, the server held out a portable payment device that had three buttons with percent gratuity possibilities to choose. Not something I consider customary for a dine in experience. Overall, the food was good, but the dining area lighting was very low, making the small font menu very difficult to read. We won't be dining in there again. Take out is an option we'd maybe consider at another time. Consider the hummus and Arabian bread starter if you're looking for a nice appetizer. Very flavorful and creamy. read more

This place was ok but nothing super impressive. Flavor, quality, presentation, ambiance were all similar to Mediterranean places that cost less. I got the mixed grill and appreciated the variety of meat with lamb probably being the best part. I preferred my wife's chicken kafta though as I thought it was spicier and had more flavor. All the items just seemed "ok" but I did not feel they justified the near $20 price. Additionally, the service was a bit slow and some of the condiments we asked for were not delivered till the end of the dinner when we were almost done eating. Maybe this would be cool place to come to if you were just looking for hookah and drinks. read more

When it comes to atmosphere and unique presentation of the food, Ranoush meets expectations. The food is decent, and I need to try more of the menu. We ordered a variety of meats, hummus, and falafel. I thought the hummus was good!! It was Simple, smooth, and drizzled with olive oil which added to the flavor. The falafel was good, but a little soggy. They did shape it into hearts which was fun! For the main dish, I ordered the Shawarma and my husband and dad both got the mixed dish with kebabs of lamb, Beef Kafta, and Shish Tawuk (chicken breast). The chicken was tender and flavorful which is difficult to accomplish! The Shawarma meat was very flavorful, tender, and paired well with the garlic sauce and tahnini. It also came with rice and salad, which were okay. I encourage anyone to try Ranoush, and I definitely will be there to try again in the near future. read more

We ordered postmates to my grandma in law's home one evening while in town. My husband's family was apprehensive because they had never eaten Mediterranean food. I was asked to make the chicken that day and I was tired. We needed another option for real ! When we played the food up at home, no one was disappointed and everyone was happy ! Thank God ! The St Louis family was happy to eat it all and were satisfied too. Now we have a place to come to when in town ! Recommended by all of us ! read more

We came here in the late afternoon on a Monday. There was plenty of seating options in and outside. We sat outside and had hookah and tried their specialty drinks. The hawaiian lemonade is good (and strong!) The hookah was flavorful & smooth. This was a nice stop before dinner. On our way to the car later that evening, we passed Ranoush and even with a bigger crowd, there was still plenty of seating outside. Definitely recommend this stop for hookah in the loop! read more

Ranoush definitely deserves a star bump. Any service problems seem to have disappeared, and my most recent visit here was pretty great. We had a pretty big group, and the servers handled us so well. I ordered the beef shawarma this time, and it was so, so good. My only recommendation is that if you order this dish, get a side of hummus (which you should probably do anyway) because it's ten times more delicious together. Also, I am not mad at their ridiculously good house cabernet. I look forward to visiting Ranoush again very soon! read more

Perhaps the best meal I have EVER eaten. It's was so good and the cinnamon coffee may have just made me a coffee drinker! Not sure what to get? Start with the kalaj (grilled cheese on pita bread) and try the Ranoush Mixed Grill - it has chicken shish tawak, beef kafka & a lamb kabob! And don't forget to try the kahwa (coffee) - the cinnamon kahwa is going to have me craving coffee! read more

We ate in. The food (pita, falafel, chicken, dips, etc) was delicious, but there are a million flies in the restaurant. Disgusting, irritating, and unsanitary. Imagine, if they are in the restaurant, they've got to be in the kitchen on the food there, too. Too bad in a place that makes great food. Needs some fly tape,traps, or something. read more

Ever since ii moved to St.Louis, Ranoush has been my regular spot for lunch for a couple of reasons: 1. Foods taste great and very healthy. 2. Very authentic vibe. 3. Great hospitality. 4. Decent price for what you get. You should go check it out, Middle Eastern food is great! read more

Ranoush - Hummus with pita bread - Middle Eastern Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

first I have to say the reason it gets three stars is because there was no AC. Seriously. How can you be a full service restaurant and not have AC? I get that it's hot season, but come on. and it's a shame because the service was really good and the hookah was really good. I came here with someone I met on a dating app and honestly I think part of the reason it was such a good experiences because I had such an excellent companion and we had an excellent time. The server was very attentive and sweet. We initially got a spot in the back of the hookah lounge area but it was just so darn hot! They were cool about letting us move outside, and pretty much everybody was outside. Hot outside also but at least we had some airflow. I had not had shisha in a while, so my date ordered double apple with a hint of mint. And it was quite good. Nice buzz. Fix your AC and I'll give you another star, maybe even two. I still haven't tried the food there. But to be clear, I haven't seen any hookah bars in St. Louis so far that have the proper atmosphere. I'm from Florida and I used to go to these places that had like the big conversation pit in the floor and lots of comfy pillows and couches. but maybe we can't have nice things like that in St. Louis since no one seems to give a crap about the high crime and vagrancy rates here, and maybe they've had problems with people nodding off in these establishments. Also as with any place on the loop, it's best to go during the week because it gets really crowded on weekends especially when the college students are in town. read more

Today was an horrible experience. We ordered two margaritas and our server couldn't make them because she was 20, so she asked another worker "KiKi" to make them. We waited almost 20 minutes and still no drinks. Kiki was asked again. And she told her you have to wait I have someone else that's more important to cater to. Horrible customer service!! She began to be mean to our server Laila. Kiki pulled our server away when our server was trying to explain to use some items on the menu! We was told she's the manger. She's doing a horrible job at it!! She's needs to be fired! I'll never come to this place again! read more

Absolutely kills it every time. I mean look at this picture! If you are vegetarian you should probably dine here once a week because they have millions of options. This is one of the best restaurants in St. Louis by a landslide. I'm still at the dinner table writing this review because that's how passionate I feel about Ranoush. If I were stranded on a deserted island, I would only need their pita, basmati white rice, falafel, hummus, and above all THE TABOULEH. and I would survive to tell the glory of this magnificent restaurant read more

I'd have to think about it: at the moment, I'm saying this is the best Middle Eastern food I've eaten. And I've eaten it in the Middle East. There was a place in Zikron Yakov and another little roadside hummus joint outside Caesarea that would be in the running. I had the vegetarian platter. Fantastic. Pinot Noir to go with. Found this place while driving up Delmar. Sign looked authentic. Who knew. I highly recommend. read more

Lamb and rice was not good at all. No flavor. Not worth the hype--place is guide of the Ya Hala that used to be here. Bathrooms are never clean. No tissue in either bathroom. Music is recycled and played over and over. Security did not properly check patrons entering. Observed an individual with his gun right next to me. Waitress advised the tickets could not be split, however, the table next to ours was able to split their tickets. Save yourself the trouble. There are far better hookah spots around St. Louis. Avoid this overpriced establishment at all cost. read more

Good service, good food. A little pricey, but that's a given with the location. ($6.25 for three pieces of kibbeh??) I got to try the beef kafta, shish tawuk, and grilled shrimp. All were good, but the first two were kind of dry. The garlicky sauce my order came with was awesome, and I got to try some of my friend's chicken shawarma, which was very flavorful and moist--I'm getting that next time. I don't really see how a restaurant can get away with charging $15 for a plate of mujaddara though. Will shy away from that dish, given that it's really just rice, lentils, and onions. read more

I love Ranoush! Ifirst came here for book club and we sat under the tent. Our server was unbelievably engaging and hospitable. He was one of the most attentive servers I have ever had. My husband and I came back here last night because I was craving the traditional mezze platter for 2. It has all my favorites on there - hummus, baba ganoush, kibbi, falafel, tabbouleh and grape leaves. It's around $30 but it will fill you up if you are hungry or provide a nice variety for sharing before the meal. I love the vibe in here and all staff I've encountered have been very friendly and helpful. read more

Ranoush has really fallen off since the first time I came in 2015. The food was very bland. My Pepsi was even flat. The rice had so much butter in it that it was leaking out. The girl who took our order over the phone had the worst attitude. She was so mad that she said 'omg' when I added a dessert to our order. Instead is carrying out our order, we got a table upon arrival. After our bags of food were dropped at the table we received no further customer service. ON TOP OF ALL OF THAT DISAPPOINTMENT, the order was $60!!! For chicken shawarma, 2 drinks and an order of hummus. I have to throw in the towel on Ranoush. read more
