Restaurant Beyrouth — Restaurant in Amsterdam

A true taste of home. Being Lebanese, I am quite critical on the type of Lebanese food I find in Holland and I can say the food we had at Beyrouth restaurant was 100% a taste from home. I ordered the hommous and baba ghanouj which were among the best I have had in Lebanon! The Sambousek were perfectly crisp and the kibbe leaves you wanting more after each bite. As for main course we ordered the rice and chicken and the rice and lamb. The rice was wonderfully spiced and the chicken and lamp were so tender! For dessert we had the rice pudding (riz be halib) and the smell or the orange blossom water and rose water was as rewarding as the taste. I ordered the food as take away as I was hosting a dinner at home and the food was packaged in a excellent manner allowing me to warm up and garnish as I please. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to enjoy 100% authentic Lebanese food. Also, thank you to the kind owners, father and son for helping me with deciding the right order portion for my guests! It was spot on. I will for...

It was such a disappointment to come here after having someone recommend it. I had high expectations for the restaurant. We were so hungry and came here for dinner at 8pm, we waited over an over for food and it came out like it was the last scraps for the day. One of us had 5 pieces of meat on a plate and got told that the rest would be coming out as a special. By the time it came out we had already eaten the food. I made sure to get that amount take off for the extra meat that was supposed to be on the meal already. It felt like they forgot about us and it was upsetting. The owner was nice however it doesn’t make up for the lack of love in the food, the amounts and the burnt meat that came out. I’m sorry to review so low but it felt wrong to not mention how this ruined our first night in Amsterdam and it was overpriced for what we were given. We went to go and eat food elsewhere due to...

Too bad, the cooking was good but the price is truly a scam. Indeed, we paid 69 euros for a vegetarian mezze set for 3 people. It was 44 euros for two people, and 25 euros more for an additional person. However, the quantities were tiny for 3 persons: it was at most for 2. The additional person is more expensive than the 2 persons initially included in the mezze set, but when we compared what we had to the table next to us where they were only two, the quantities were almost the same for every dish (humus, baba ghanouj...). So basically, no difference in the food between 2 and 3 people, except it was 25 euros more (so a significant difference). I advice people to avoid this place, or at least carefully look at the quantities. We really felt scammed and that's shameful to sell such little food for such a price (even...
