Persian Cup Beirut. Authentic Persian Cuisine in Beirut — Restaurant in Dar Mreisse

I had lunch at Iranian Cup and it turned out to be a good experience. The restaurant is cozy, tucked away around a quiet corner in a cool neighborhood one of those places you wouldn’t expect, yet it delivers a truly authentic dining experience.

From the moment I arrived, I was greeted warmly. The staff is well-trained, attentive, and plentiful for the size of the restaurant, which means service runs smoothly. The atmosphere is vibrant but comfortable, with great attention to cleanliness and detail.

I ordered a mixed plate with chicken, kebab, and rice, and it was outstanding flavorful, fresh, and clearly made with care. The ayran (yogurt drink) was also delicious. Prices are fair for the quality, about $30 for one person, which I found reasonable compared to international dining standards.

A small observation: they ask every guest if they have a reservation, which is good for organization, but I think they could be a little more flexible in accommodating walk-ins. Luckily, I had no issue, but I could see how this might create some frustration at busy times.

Overall, this is a restaurant I would happily return to and even bring friends to impress. Limited menu, but very well chosen, excellent service, and great food. Definitely...

The restaurant used to be one of my favorite spots in Beirut. They serve very good food; and they have a waiter from an Iranian origin who is really lovely, professional and knowledgeable. I went yesterday to have dinner there and I was extremely disappointed. The restaurant had an extremely bad smell that doesn’t really give an appetite to eat. The service is simply awful as the waiters have no clue about anything and they’re not friendly and trained. They first served the hot dishes instead of the cold dishes. Then they served the cold dishes; and the drinks (Ayran) were served at the end. We barely stayed 20 minutes and left; and the waiters didn’t even ask why we left early and of the food was good or not. I found this extremely disappointing as the restaurant is nicely decorated; and the quality of food...
