When I saw the writing on Google, I am rushed down to this restaurant. It was Saturday night and very busy. I didn’t mind waiting as I was looking forward to a gastronomical treat Lebanese style. How disappointed I was. I would have a starter and a main. The first problem is they brought both of them out together. I had to ask for the main to be taken until I’d finished the starter. I didn’t enjoy the starter as it was covered in a yoghurt sauce, which was not mentioned on the menu, and of course when I received my main it had dried out and I couldn’t even eat the French fries. There is only a tiny bit of tomato salad and no peppers in sight, which has been described as part of the dish, I suspect I will running out of food is so busy so they set up substandard. This was an expensive meal that I did not enjoy. It could’ve been delicious, prepared well. I would advise giving this a miss, particularly on a busy night such...
Read moreA surprising Lebanese restaurant in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil. The waitresses were wonderful from the start. There was a clear language barrier but they were determined to help us understand each item on the menu. Using a mix of Portuguese, Spanish, English and lots of pointing at things, we made it work.
We tried the Deluxe Tasting Menu with the Hummus, Babaganoush Le Mir, Fatoush Salad, Makanek Sausages and Kafta in Pita. The main part was the Mixed Grilled meats of what seemed to be Lamb & Chicken. Two desserts were also included and we got the Malahbi & Massa with Ice Cream.

If you're in Foz do Iguaçu, I would definitely recommend this unexpected taste of the...
Read more5 stars. Good food. Outstanding service. Cozy, welcoming ambiance.
What I ordered: Majn dish: lamb and rice? Side: salad - this was their weakest item Side: shredded lamb in sour cream Drink: a cup of Malbec 🍷
Quality: excellent. They cooked their lamb perfectly.
Would I get again? Yes, especially on a date.
I would like to specifically point out the service was outstanding. They patiently spent over 20 minutes going back-and-forth with me on google translate. I never felt pressured or hurried.
On top of that this is one of those restaurants where the staff is trained to watch you from afar, waiting for you to make eye contact for service. It is on the highest tier of service. You don’t notice them until you need them 👌
I only wish I had one other person to dine with so I could have experienced the...
