Diwan Beirut — Restaurant in Rmeil

Worst experience ever, I ordered take away and the plan was to pick it up in 30 to 40 minutes, I arrived to the restaurant in 30 min and paid my bill, upon arrival I asked the cashier who was the rudest person ever if I can add some appetizers to the order, and she rudely answered no this will delay your order for one hour. I have waited for the food for more than 1.30 hrs instead of 30 min and I was planning to leave without taking the order but I have already paid for it and my bill was for USD 250, so I was not planning to leave the money to them. After I received my food and took it home which is 5 min drive from the restaurant, I found that the food was very cold and taste was ugly, I really was at least expecting something that is worth to eat after all...

This last visit (November 2022) was quite a surprising one as opposed to 3.5 years back. They've shut down the upper floor large and yet intimate dining room. Now you seat downstairs in a kind of "chic" cafeteria atmosphere, and I felt it was a bit noisier. The service was more casual. I had a light dinner : salty hindbeh, best meat shawarma of my whole stay but served lukewarm, a glass of wine (the one I picked from their list wasn't available). Overall, it feels a bit expensive, but it's acceptable if they make an effort to stick to their usual standards, hence the 4 stars...hoping someone from their management...

Everything in this place has an authentic lebanese taste! We had a lunch with the family on a Sunday , very suitable for such occasions! *The place is quite and Clean.
