🔹Rating: 5/5 🔹Experience: This place is simply amazing. Starting with the location, located in badaro on the main road, to the interior decoration which is very nice, cozy space yet spacious comfortable seating area. Staff starting with the manager and all the waiters are very welcoming professional and friendly. Service speed ia very good and items are very affordable. 🔹Food: Menu is very rich and has many unique items. Mainly Lebanese dishes but some with a nice twist. We ordered the following: -Chanklish with Avocado: very nice combination I loved it. -Freekeh Salad: very fresh and tasty salad. -Khasbet Moushakaleh: A mix of Sfiha with different toppings. Very tasty. -Cheese Rolls with Basterma: it was my favorite very delicious. -Makanek: tasty and delicious. -Rass Asfour: tasty meat tender and fresh. -Fatteh Shawarma: Strange combination yet very tasty. I loved it. -Soujouk with Laban: very tasty and nice combination as well. -Teshkelet kafta w arayis khodra: tasty and delicious. -Battata Hara: very tasty -Vine leaves with yogurt: one of the tastiest vine leaves as it feels like been done at home. Juicy tender and tasty.

I also tried the special argheli they have and it was simply amazing.

All I can say that this place is highly recommended and I will sure get back soon to...

Place was recommended by a family member who visited before, we went as a group of 6 without prior reservation. Atmosphere was nice and cozy, staff was initially welcoming. Ordered shisha (was great) and cocktails. I ordered a berry mojito which was listed for 6.5$, and the waiter told me that it comes mixed with tequila already (I initially asked for a vodka shot inside the berry mojito, as the menu doesn't clearly state if the drink is alcoholic or not, but the waiter assured me that the berry mojito comes with tequila already). Others ordered a minted lemonade with a shot of vodka.

The minted lemonade arrived and they had absolutely zero vodka in them, but the waiter claimed that they poured 60 ml of vodka in each glass, but I assure you that there was no vodka in it. My berry mojito never arrived until I had to remind the waiter, and when it did it wasn't a berry mojito, instead it was a mojito in a pitcher that probably had half a bottle of tequila in it, absolutely undrinkable. If cocktails aren't their strong suit, then dont serve alcoholic drinks.

Finally, I was charged 12.5$ for a drink that was listed 6.5$ on the menu. 120$ for 2 shishas, 6 cocktails, and poor service is absurd in this economy

AVOID AT ALL COSTS IF LOOKING FOR A DRINK (cannot judge food as I...

Ambiance | Am I the only one in love with Café Badaro’s interior design? Café Badaro has its unique design stamp. You cannot but not love the simple modem touches and pastel colors. Both indoor and outdoor seating are available, both of which are very comfortable. Music level is moderate and smooth.

Food | Cafe Badaro offers a variety of Lebanese dishes with a twist. Portions are generous and prices are fair. I have tried their Fattouch salade with Halloumi which was very rich in flavors. Though I am not a big fan of vinegar sauces, the salad had the perfect amount which gave it a beautiful twist. I have also tried their batata harra; extremely spicy and not the best ones I have had. They could be smaller, slightly less spicy and slightly crisped.

Service | Very friendly, professional, and alert staff. Speed of...
