Tallet Abou Zeid — Restaurant in Beqaa Governorate

How could I not knew this place before, I regret missing all tasty meals I could have enjoyed long time before! But I am planning to make it up!

You are only one trip away of savoring innovative traditional Lebanese restaurant; located in Dhour Shweir, overlooking the vast Bekaa valley, tallet Abou Zeid has gained its reputation mainly for its Fawaregh and M2adem.

We stepped there for a late lunch on Saturday, and the experience was memorable.

The menu honors Lebanese cuisine with their own touch. We started savoring the scrumptious meal:

Fattoush w Tabouli: loved the citrusy taste and the freshness of the vegetables Hindbeh: with the fried onions ornamenting it and adding a sweetness to the slight bitterness an amazing contrast Warak 3nab: rolled to perfection Creamty Hommos and Motabal: the addictive dips Batata harra: a new presentation as à la Provencal with layers of potatoes, I was not able to stop eating as tasty as they were Sambusik cheese: rich filled pockets of gooey cheese fried but not oily The signature dish for me is their Arayes Kafta: a thick filling of kafta between crunchy layers of bread, a feast! The mixed grills: tender meats and chicken with grilled veggies on the side, fit for a King No room for one bite, you better stretch that stomach! As the finale is sealed with all fresh seasonal fruits and jams of which I loved the apples one.

I chatted with Mr Simon, one of the owners; they are currently expanding over two floors including a rooftop, with the breathtaking view and a winter closed venue fit for occasions too. They are also working on gaining ISO 22000 certification relevant to the food safety.

Such businesses warm the heart with their attention and dedication to the customer ultimate service while leaving it affordable for all.

Premium location, food and services are what makes this place a totally recommended one.

One of the best restaurants I have eaten at in Lebanon. This year until I came to tallet abou Zeid, the restaurants quality, service and food in Lebanon have been horrible.

Tallet Abou Zeid has topped the charts for me. The food was like home cooked food, the service was amazing from the owner and staff.

The owner saw that I had bad experiences so he took me into the kitchen and showed me his filtrations systems, the refrigeration of all food and freshness of the food.

I definitely recommend this restaurant be on your list. I recommend the shangleish, vine leaves, meat is amazing, chicken beautifully marinated and Sam boudin just...

This is a big restaurant on the outskirts of Zahle. If you are tired of having lunch on the Berdawni river, the more traditional place for lunches in the town of Zahle, Tallet Abou Zeid provides a good alternative. While the setting could improve due to the fact that the restaurant is a little too big and somewhat impersonal, food and service will please the great majority of customers. Try their very generous portion of kebbit 2are3 balls (vegetarian kebbe) and their more traditional Lebanese offerings. Prices are average when compared to restaurants in Beirut...
