Come cibo mi aspettavo di più ma il locale è carino, super affollato e dinamico. Ho mangiato sicuramente in migliori libanesi ma per NY va più che bene. Molto caro
The phonecian fries and Brussel sprouts are to die for. Cocktail - From Beirut w Passion and Poison Margarita w/pomegranate are both delicious. Branzino w/mint was a huge letdown. Lamb chops good.
The scallops were amazing. The hummus with pita, so simple but extremely tasty. The service was friendly and very attentive. The ambience sets a great date spot and even after work drinks.
A tad pricey but SO good if you're into this food scene. Great Lebanese share plates, so bring a crew. Or if you're like me, bring your dad so he won't judge you for eating like a man and he'll pay 😇
All of the cold mezze are delicious. You don't even need to get a main dish. I recommend 3-4 for 2 people since the portions are quite large. Fantastic service too!
Great atmosphere! Nice staff and delicious food. We try the Falafel, Babba Ganouj and Kafta, that was amazing. The pita is just in time made for you. Awesome place in Midtown Manhattan!
Went for a company dinner and they had amazing dishes! Don’t know where to even begin! The ancient Lebanesewines were delicious & sommelier (with bowl haircut) was so knowledgeable! Get duck shawarma
An epic menu that hits all the Lebanese classics, but adds its own twists. The grilled meat platter is a good bet for first timers. Maybe the best tabouleh in NYC
Elegant warmly lit Lebanese spot with major upscale vibes and great selection of Levantine cuisine food, the taste will seriously take you there. Servers are exteremely attendant, kind and quick. 5/5
Our group of three had the meat platter, falafel, eggplant and brussel sprouts to share. It was the perfect amount of food and all extremely delicious.
Ditch the old eggs benedict and have brunch here instead! For the true Lebanese experience, the labneh and kibbeh are a must. But if you're feeling experimental, the lobsterhommus won't let you down.
The hummus is amazing and comes with warm pita bread but my favorite dish was duck shwarma. The riz and kafta were also really delicious. The staff was super friendly.
Best lebanese restaurant ever! One of the most giving and generous. They support many nonprofit and charitable causes around the city. YOU HAVE to try the Duck Shwarma!!! It's the best!!!
It's always a full house, so it's kinda of loud, but it's a must try Lebanese restaurant in NYC. Don't miss their kabob karez and their chicken tawok😍Lastly, don't forget to make a prior reservation
Must haves: octopus, Brussels sprouts, fries (the garlic sauce!!))Good: such shawarma, hummus (jalapenos are perfectly picked/spicy)! Dark, intimate, yummy!
Amazing!! Food and staff service is fantastic. Warm welcome as we entered. Our server Heather was friendly and very hospitable. Best Lebanese food in the city
Friendly waitstaff, beautiful restaurant. Great place for a date or go up to second floor back area for group celebration. Solid food and desert with wine pairing.
ordering various mezzas are the way to go: the crispiest & most perfectly seasoned fries and creamiest hummus ever. not a huge fan of the brussel sprouts and brunch mains.
Absolutely delicious! It's nice to get a bunch of different plates to share with a bottle of wine. Recommended: shrimps, falafel, moussaka, baba ghanoush, salads, shawarma, the list goes on...
Ingredients: Lamb patty, kashkaval cheese, arugula, bastermaTo know: The lamb burger, served only at lunch and brunch, features basterma, which is like prosciutto, but is beef not porkLeggi tutto
Best Lebanese / Mediterranean food in the city. Hummus and Brussels sprouts are delicious. Order about 1 1/2 mezzes per person to start and go from there. It's all delish, you can't go wrong!
Amazing Lebanese food in a super cool space (ask to sit in the main room when you make a reservation). Great place for groups so you can share and try everything on the menu!
To try a little bit of everything we order cold and hot appetizers, the portions are enough for two people and everything delicious. Excellent attendance.
I love this restaurant. Go here hungry! The mouhanara is a must as an appetizer and do yourself a favor and order the Brussels sprouts and Phoenician fries. Not a huge fan of the gnocchi, however.
summer restaurant week 2013 isn't that good here, I didn't like their lamb shank or cod as the main dish. fries and strawberry cheesecake were yummy, they do have a pretty cool restroom!
Perfect assorty grill: there are all kinds of meat - beef, lamb, chicken and kebabs. Impressed by 2 points: Hazelnut Chocolate Soufflé, and attentive headwaiter (deal in wine almost like a sommelier).
Tried variety of cold mezza hummus, baba ghannouj, labne, and fattoush. All of these appetizers were great and authentic. Served with fresh pita bread. Must try Kebab Kerez (Kebab with cherry).
Food was amazing, exceeding far beyond expectations. I've tried the brussels sprouts and those were okay, but I liked the lobsterhummus and the falafels much more. Highly recommendable.
The service was phenomenal! Food was even better than expected. We shared a bunch of mezze plates and loved them all. Definitely recommend the hummus, tuna, scallops and meatballs!
The kafta was delicious! A great combination of flavors! And you can't go wrong with any of the hummus! I really appreciate that the staff also know how the food in a dish should be paired.
Tasting menu is reasonably priced ($72pp$) and is a ridiculous amount of food. Six shared mezzes, entree selection per person and dessert. All delectable from pickles to seared lamb!
if you come here get the calamari a la plancha for app, lamb chops for entree, and ilili candybar as dessert. if you're able to make it in time for happy hour order the from beirut with passion
the mixed grill is a great way to try the variety of meats offered in the menu. the Ilili candybar (not your typical candybar) is the way to go for dessert
Try the hummus with jalapeño, and the labne. The Brussels sprouts look unusual - like a Waldorf salad - but I get why it's the most popular thing on the menu. Seriously delicious.
One of my favorite restaurants in the city. The Brussel sprouts are definitely not to be missed. Warm eggplant, and all the cold lentilappetizers are also amazing. Get the candybar for dessert!
The Brussels sprouts are so phenomenal..it's definitely a must have! The lamb chops were perfectly cooked and delicious. The not so bloody martini was also great! Absolutely love this place
Small plates had pretty generous portions. Loved the lamb/beef dumplings, Brussel sprouts, and duck shawarma. Custard/clotted cream with mastixa liquor was delish!
The prix-fixe is great for a nice business lunch; they'll let you chat for a good long time. (Sometimes borderline too long.) Try the fancylemonades and the burrata!
We were excited for the beautiful space. First put us in secluded upper room (basically a 12-15 seat closest). Food was good, service slow. Just make sure to make a reservation in main dining room.
Mixed Grill has variety of proteins in which they were delicious and cooked perfectly. The atmosphere of the restaurant is friendly. The service was nice. The place is good for groups.
