My favorite place in Paris. Authentic, small, and homey. Fantastic food. Also, the Turkish coffee…read moreis off the hook. Forget French food. This is the place!

Last night in Paris I wanted to indulge in some great arab halal food, the reviews are great…read morehere....don't be fooled - THEY'RE FAKE! Upon arriving, I waited at the front for a few minutes before anybody even acknowledged me, once we sat down we waited another 10 minutes to even get a menu. They don't have enough menus, so we had to wait for the table next to us to finish with the menu before the waiter handed us their menus. Once we chose what we wanted, we waited another 5-10 minutes before we had to flag a waiter to take our order. We also didn't get any water/drinks for about half an hour after sitting down. The restaurant smells like sweat...and they do NOT give free water at all. The room is TOO loud, there's loud music, loud bar sounds and just overall loud general noises. Also the hostess wearing black yelled at multiple waiters a few times in front of guests so that was weird... Anyways, on to the food..... Portions are TOO small, ridiculously overpriced. The food didn't come out at the same time, one of six of us nearly finished her food before the rest of us got anything. The table besides us, had 5, and only 2 received their food and finished it completely before the other 3 received their food. We ordered 2 of the same plate, and only one came. Unfortunately for me I was the odd one out waiting another 14 minutes for my plate. The only positive, the food was actually good. It wasn't amazing, but it was good, except one of my kafta's was raw. They also offered us tea in the end to compensate for the awful service, just for them to never give it. Overall, congrats to this restaurant! This takes the cake as the WORST restaurant I've ever been to. Dreadful service and ambiance. Please come here if you want to lose your mind.

We had just climbed the steps to the top of the arc, after a long day of sightseeing. We were…read moreexhausted, and needed to eat, and when we spotted this restaurant, we decided to give it a try. I know many reviewers recommend not eating anywhere near the tourist sites, But I believe in this case they were wrong! We had some delicious croque monsieur sandwiches that just hit the spot. I would definitely recommend this place.

Wow! This place was absolutely delicious! I wanted to be sure to try a nice halal french restaurant…read morewhile in Paris and Le Crystal did not disappoint. Everything tasted great, and they even had non alcoholic wine. The ambiance was really cute, just a perfect blend between casual and fancy. 10/10 for the presentation though. Highly recommended if you're looking for a good halal restaurant in Paris.
