Avak أفاك — Restaurant in Municipality of Al Shamal

Nicely located, with enough parking around, Avak becomes an easy and safe choice.

Once you cross the entrance doors, a room with very high ceilings and olive trees everywhere will welcome you.

The vibe is chic yet laid back. You know you are going to have a beautiful meal just by the care they have put into each detail of the decoration. They know what they are doing! ;)

Their cuisine, Lebanese - Armenian, will surprise you. It’s not the regular and most known options. They give it an extra twist. Trust their recommendations.

I would suggest you order to share and taste as many options as possible. (Attached picture). It is a restaurant that is conceived as a place to gather with friends around a table and so you should honor it. Promise you will enjoy!

We stayed a bit longer, as it was a work meeting and then we found out they actually have meeting rooms (upstairs I think) which was very interesting.

I will most definitely consider it for any future business lunch and post-meetings I may have.

The staff were nice. Food was delicious. Ambiance was chic and even other guests were friendly and smiling. We enjoyed the experience and would come back.

Thank you for the hospitality and...

My first visit: The food was great and very delicious! We ordered keraz kebab, truffle potato and hummus with angus beef, and they all were on point. The atmosphere was perfect, but the music is a bit annoying. An important thing that I have to note, the service; I would give it 10/10. I would definitely visit again! The best Mediterranean restaurant in my opinion.

My second visit: I tried more dishes, the kafta wraps were so tasty. Their fried kebba without any exaggeration is the best kebba I have ever tasted! It’s a must. Again their service is perfect, the place is nice but they need to work on their music because it’s so annoying. It’s loud, the playlist is weird. You first listen to Adele and then surprise here is some Iraqi sad songs. My recommendation is to put music without lyrics and lower the voice a bit. Their music would be a reason for me not to come again, it’s really that bad. Overall, the place is the best for whoever is looking for a good...
