Mijana Restaurant - ميجانا مطعم لبناني – شارع الخليج العربي — Restaurant in Shaab

Location is great, windows can be fully open and it's like you are dining on the beach. The decor is great, service is good. I told my husband, if the food taste good it's going to be my favorite....and then...the food got me disappointed...1)lentil soup...too whitish and you can't really feel the lentils and the typical oriental spices that should go with it, and it's very creamy like a french mushrooms soup, maybe they added cream, i don't know but it didn't get better...2)fatoush salad....the dressing is a no no, just felt bland olive oil, a strong unpleasant oil taste, no seasoning we couldn't eat it....3)chicken liver....had a bad chicken smell and it was bitter and dry, couldn't eat it...4)kebab mijana....tasteless meat with a lot of sauce, and the fries put on top of the sauce, they got all wet soaked in tomato sauce....like no comment. 3 things were good, fresh baked bread, humus with meat and eggplant...

The place is nice, it's in a good location near the sea. In the morning, it's a beautiful view. I went to have breakfast there. Their breakfast is tasty and a good variety.

Staff are not friendly and were not welcoming. The food once we ordered came quickly, though.

I visited Mijana Restaurant recently and overall, it was an average experience. The ambiance was pleasant and the place was clean, but nothing really stood out compared to other Lebanese restaurants I’ve tried. The food was decent—traditional dishes like hummus, kibbeh, and mixed grill were on the menu, and while they were tasty, the flavors lacked the freshness and authenticity I was hoping for. Some dishes were a bit greasy, and the pricing felt slightly on the higher side for what was offered.

Service was efficient; the staff were polite and the food arrived promptly. However, there wasn’t much warmth or engagement, which made the visit feel a bit impersonal.
