We recently dined at Restaurant Ishtar as a family of three, including our vegetarian daughter. Our experience was fantastic, largely due to our waiter, who was extremely polite, friendly, and helpful, and spoke excellent English. He noticed we were having some trouble with the menu and made some wonderful recommendations.
We opted for a set menu that included a variety of starters and meat dishes, but also catered perfectly to our daughter's vegetarian diet. The food was served promptly, was incredibly fresh, and the meat was exceptionally tender. We were particularly pleased with the waiter's suggestions.
To accompany our meal, we enjoyed a local beer and some delightful rosé, both of which were recommended by our waiter and proved to be excellent choices. We finished our meal with some delicious desserts, rounding off a truly satisfying dining experience.
Overall, we were very impressed with the service and the quality of the food at Restaurant Ishtar. Highly...
Read moreSmall restaurant in Central area. They have a good selection of Lebanese mezzes and few mains. The prices are medium. The dishes are medium sized at most. The food was decent, but for us nowhere near other Lebanese restaurants experiences we had. The kafta was quite plain, similar to what I make at home, missing that rich texture and spices of oriental dishes. Overall we wondered how many appetizers were canned ones. Desert was tasty.

Could...
Read moreWe had a great family meal at Ishtar Lebanese Restaurant for 3 people. Our daughter is vegetarian, so we shared a mixed platter, Shawarma Mezze (I think it was called) which had dips, bread, meats, falafel, and plenty of Veg options on there, complemented with a glass of rosé and a beer recommended by our server, which my husband said was excellent. The service was excellent; the staff were very helpful in guiding us on what dishes would best suit our table. The desserts were traditional and delicious. The restaurant was well located for us, just around the corner from our accommodation, making it a convenient and pleasant dining experience. The air conditioning was a bonus, providing a cool escape from the crowds. We highly recommend Ishtar and look forward to returning next time...
