So folks, we are here with another review. Lockdown in lahore has ended and most restaurants have opened their dine-in service for customers. We were tired of having a continuous Meaty routine after Eid ul Adha, we decided to get something different for our tummies, so this time we visited Cafe Beirut. Lahores weather was beautiful windy weather, we really enjoyed their terrace sitting arrangement that brought more pleasure to our moment. So lets talk about the food we ordered;For appetiser we ordered:Cafe Beirut Special Chicken and Lamb Hummus: It was a special hummus topped with both lamb and chicken pieces, which made a perfect and scrumptious combination together. This is a must try from hummus section. This is not mentioned on their menu, you need to ask them for it to be served.And for the Main course we selected:Mix Lamb and Chicken Mansaf (2 Person Serving): It is ouzi rice topped with Lahm Mashwi (Grilled Lamb Skewers), Lamb Kafta (Lamb Kebab), Grilled Chicken, Lamb Ouzi. Served with Ouzi Sauce and spicy dokos sauce, Fattoush Salad, Raita and Charcoal Vegetables. This was one of the best rice dishes from the menu( highly recommended for rice lovers). Rice were topped with BBQ which was so juicy and made a perfect combination with rice. This is a must Try for Everyone. As it covers both BBQ and Rice cravings.Fattoush Salad: The most popular Lebanese salad. It is a salad made with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, mint, onion, reddish toasted in lemon juice and olive oil.Grilled Charcoal Chicken: Grilled Chicken Served with fries and Vegetables, This grilled chicken is also a must try, upon our second visit we again ordered it and it was again upto the mark. Same great taste, tender and juicy.Beirut Mixed Grill: This is the special platter on their menu which includes, Lamb Kafta (Lamb Kebab), Shish Tawook, Chicken Kafta (Chicken Kabab), Lahm Mashwi (Grilled Lamb Skewers) served with garlic dip and spicy sauce. This is the most popular platter on their menu. And the BBQ is so juicy and tender that you just fall in love with it in every bite. You can not choose one as each BBQ is best in it’s taste.Chicken Mandi (1 Person Serving): As we all know about mandi. We were craving for scrumptious mandi and Cafe Beirut fulfilled it with best.This was our second visit to Cafe Beirut, we encountered something very deliciously awesome things for the first time that inspired us to visit again. I must say our experience was the best this time again.For all dishes the rating is 10/10 and this place is also highly recommended. Must visit this place and share your experience with us.Taste: 10/10Service: 9/10Ambiance: 10/10#theHungertherapy #foodDiaries #Lahore #cafeBeirut #lebanesefood #foodheaven #mandi #mansaf #bbq #bbqplatter #lamb #chicken #hummus #fatoush #grilledchicken #dinner #lunch

A bit on the pricier side but they serve authentic Lebanese food. If you’re going to order the platter do not order anything else it’s quite enough for a person (or even two) and other food on the menu tastes the same.Be sure to try the hummus as it’s absolutely delicious

Bad experience, rotten food. However, one can get benefits in another way. Just visit them, eat their stale meat/chicken, and lo and behold, you achieved ur target of losing weight in the minimum possible time. 2 stars for their service only.

The place is fine, maybe a little dull for me (personal opinion). My only issue is with the variety of menu. Its too much limited. The food quality was fine tho.

I planned four items to order but the manager or supervisor upstairs was insisting to have platter. And all the food was not fresh. I think they serve leftover in platter. Food taste was not even near to Arabic one. Simple rice topped up with BBQ. You can eat such stuff in 1000 with much better taste.

We got the fattoush, baba ganoush, hummus beiruti, shish tawook and the chicken kebabs.Except for a little spice on the shish tawook, the rest was all kinda bland tasting, didnt really have its own unique flavor, or kick of any kind.The hummus was very very generic and it was supposed to be their spicy one and so were the kebabs, but it was all too flat, almost like the chef was too afraid to experiment beyond the generic salt, pepper and a few herbs.Even the fattoush dressing while it tasted good, it was too watered down, so we could hardly taste any in our salad, itd all drained to the bottom like spiced water, even when we tried to shake it up.Kinda disappointed.

I wish I had taken some pictures, this food was incredible. Its the most authentic Arabian food Ive had in Lahore, I highly recommend the hummus with lamb and the lamb shawarma, make sure you drench that with tahini.I will never go to lahore and not have this.

Food seems authentic, with a bit of Desi twist. Salad was OK, however lamb meat quality is v good. Sitting is kinda OK, however terrace is good. Service is OK. Sweets are a must try.

Cozy place, with a different experience. The food taste is a mixed Lebanese with lahore flavors. Staff are friendly and helpful. Ambiance is a bit loud but not too loud. Could be a good place to hangout with friends or to have a meeting brunch.

Cafe Beirut is one of the high end eateries located at one of the busiest food junctions of lahore. It offers good turkish/Lebanese cuisine. My favorite is this platter which is great for 3 people. Prices are on the higher end so keep that in mind when visiting this place. The service and hospitality is great.

Review №18

My worst experience in a restaurant yet. Im an avid cognoscente of Arabian food and Im well aware of the authentic taste. This restaurant serves nothing but chicanery. The professionalism in the staff is near to non existent, they find it amusing to provide you with quirky remarks. The food is a fashioned version of the local food, nothing Arabic, let alone Lebanese. When i asked them about the available items, the authentic items were unavailable and i received a remark that OUR novelties are rather different. After ordering 7 main courses, I find myself in a position of dismal as it isnt something I was expecting with a restaurant of this status. The final nail in the coffin was the desert and the hot beverage they served, the so called baklava is a sweetened version of bakar khani and their sulemani Lebanese tea is nothing but a sweet concuction of betrayal.I would recommend any place but this restaurant, if one cares about authenticity, professionalism and a quality dining experience.

Due to the current situation in the country the restaurant was totally empty when we went there around 0130 pm. The food was very delicious and the layout was very good. Service was great and the room was cold. Happy eating. Keep it up.

Review №23

The only reason why this place is half decent is because of its location and the fact that there isnt alot of variety offered in Lahore wrt Lebanese or middle eastern food.The food was bad , I ordered 30k worth of food (the musdaq and some other things). The musdaq was horrible , the rice were old , the chicken had a rotten smell and so did the chicken kebabs.It was probably the worst food I have had. And apparantely this was all made fresh for my take away. Their dine in food (microwaved food) had a similar experience.I called and complained about the food, I thought it being a large order , they would at least call back and apologize but its been a month , and they are still figuring out what went wrong.I would not recommend this place to anyone , and I hope a nice middle eastern place opens up in Lahore.

Good addition to Lahores eateries selection.

A very Unique experience, i must say. If you are in search of some new and amazing experience, this is the place where you can get high quality Labanese food. Its more of a restaurant than cafe, so recommended for lunch and dinner rather than cofee and snacks. The ambiance is great and the location one of the best in Lahore. Their roof top is amazing but the only problem is that their rates are a bit on the higher side.

#CafeBeirut has quickly taken the spot at being one of our favourite places to eat out in #Lahore. If you don’t know much about me, I was born and raised in the #UAE and that means if you prick me with a needle, you will probably find #hummus flowing out in place of blood. So naturally, when my husband and I saw Cafe Beirut opposite Mall1 on Main Boulevard, we LOST it (mostly I did, at first).Our order:STARTERS:Plain Hummus and Hummus with #meat (because meat makes everything better), #Falafel and #Arayes.MAIN ENTREES: Grilled Kafta and Lamb Khash KhashDESSERT: Miracle Fig and Chocolate# IceCream Scoops from #TheSweetFactoryI was so pleased to see that the hummus at least LOOKED like actual #Lebanese Hummus. Upon tasting it, my taste buds also decided it tasted about 90% as the actual hummus AND WE ARE NOT AT ALL COMPLAINING. Surely, no place in Pakistan does hummus this good. What I would have liked was to have some olive oil bottles on the table to demolish because hummus and olive oil go together like babies and milk. The hummus with meat was also #DELISH but is a bit more oily because of the meat..The falafel tasted like falafel and had a nice crispy, solid outer shell that guarded the soft inside quite well. Otherwise, believe you me, I have had falafels whose texture is like that of gulabjamuns. Not nice. The arayes was great as well but had a few ingredients missing such as pine nuts. But since the hummus with meat had pine nuts, I mixed and matched the ingredients to suit my needs. My husband is not a big fan of pine nuts, so it turned out to be alright!.The grilled kafta and lamb khash khash are for #meatlovers I’d say. Lebanese don’t do much to their food and serve it by cooking it with very few ingredients, which is how I like it, so you will actually taste that #lamb. It was served fresh and hot so it went down like water. The lamb was very well tenderized. One drawback was these dishes were served with very little sauce – be it garlic or #tahina..THAT ICE CREAM WAS #LEGIT! Both flavours, so smooth, so rich, so flavourful! It’s apparently also made with #liquid #nitrogen and well, who doesn’t want liquid nitrogen in their icecream?!

A very authentic Lebanese restaurant. Do give it a shot if youre in the mood for some Lebanese food. The taste is beyond perfection & 100% authentic, from the Hummus to Kabab Khash Khash everything is absolutely perfect.Customer service is great, ambiance is amazing & the sitting is flawless especially the sofas inside the restaurant & the roof-top sitting.

A decent place to have good quality lebanese food in the central part of the city. The restaurant has both indoor & outdoor seating. Ground floor is indoor while first floor seating is primarily outdoors.Largely the food has closer to authentic touch, however the beef shwarma was a little off taste. Shishtowk & lamb kebabs were the best you could find in town.The staff is courteous however like all other places, they do get a little restless closer to the closing time.The place is usually busy during the evenings which is a sign of good food and ambiance.
