dining at Al Beiruti Downtown, a Lebanese restaurant that lives up to its reputation for serving delicious food and commendable service in Dubai, What impressed me the most is that the standard of experience, service, and tastes are on par with their Dubai branches. It is no surprise that they brought their UAE staff to kick start this place, as it usually happens the other way around where people from Beirut go overseas to train new openings.

We are fortunate to have such a Lebanese chain that has decided to bring their Lebanese, UAE-born concept to Lebanon. In a time where many businesses are closing down or taking their concept overseas, Al Beiruti Downtown is standing strong, providing us with an authentic taste of Lebanese cuisine. It is an achievement that deserves respect and admiration.

Now, let us talk about the food. Al Beiruti Downtown has an extensive menu full of flavorsome dishes that are sure to satisfy every palate. My top three plates that I highly recommend are the cheese rolls, fatouch thin sliced with molasses, and the bird head-size beef with molasses. ( not bird just called like that :) ) There is no way you can visit this restaurant and not try these dishes.

The quality of hummus can be the determining factor when rating a Lebanese restaurant. At Al Beiruti Downtown, the hummus is exceptional and sets a high standard for starters. Another standout dish is the cherry kabab, a great choice for meat lovers. For dessert, I would recommend trying the ghazel elbaneet with mistik ice cream. It is a delightful ending to the meal and a unique twist to a traditional Lebanese sweet.

In conclusion, Al Beiruti Downtown is a must-visit restaurant for those wanting to indulge in authentic Lebanese cuisine accompanied by top-notch services. The food is second to none, and the restaurant has retained the same high standards as its Dubai branches. It is an excellent addition to Beirut's dining scene and something we can be proud of. Special thanks to Margruitte who accommodated us during a busy day, and the Courtesy of the whole staff. Looking forward to being the family again.
