Beirut Khanum — Restaurant in Municipality of Al Shamal

AMAZING we booked Our company’s Iftar at Beirut Khanum in Riyadh Boulevard was an exceptional experience, blending exquisite Lebanese flavors with a stunning ambiance.

The restaurant’s open-air terrace overlooking the fountain created a breathtaking backdrop for our gathering. The lush greenery cascading from the ceiling, warm lantern lighting, and elegant natural tones gave the space a serene and festive feel, perfect for Ramadan. The soft breeze and golden sunset light added to the charm, making it an unforgettable dining experience.

The Ramadan Iftar menu was a well-curated selection of Lebanese delights, and with 15 people at our table, we had the chance to try almost everything. The vegetable soup was light yet flavorful, and the lentils unique refreshing zest too..

The hummus with walnuts was creamy and rich, while the fattoush and tabbouleh were crisp and well-balanced. The meat and cheese sambousek were crispy and flavorful, while the shish barak (yogurt dumplings) and spicy potatoes stood out.

The Saudi lamb kabsah and chicken kabsah with saffron rice were aromatic and tender. The machhi dolma and chicken freekeh were also crowd favorites. The kunafa, atayef, and halawet el-jibn provided the perfect sweet ending. The karkadeh and jallab were refreshing traditional Ramadan beverages.

The staff was attentive and accommodating, ensuring a seamless dining experience despite the full house. The fast service and well-paced courses made our Iftar relaxed and enjoyable.

Beirut Khanum is the perfect spot for a memorable Ramadan gathering. The combination of delicious food, stunning ambiance, and exceptional service makes it a highly recommended destination for anyone looking to experience Lebanese...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Beirut Khanum, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance transported me straight to the heart of Lebanon. The decor is warm and inviting, featuring beautiful traditional elements that create a cozy atmosphere perfect for both intimate dinners and lively gatherings.

The menu offers a delightful array of authentic Lebanese dishes, each bursting with flavor. I particularly enjoyed the tabbouleh and hummus, which were incredibly fresh and well-prepared. The grilled kebabs were tender and seasoned to perfection, making them a highlight of the meal. Don’t skip the baklava for dessert; it’s the perfect sweet finale to an amazing dining experience.

What truly made our visit exceptional was our waiter, Sami Mezher. Sami was not only attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, but he also went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. His recommendations were spot on, and he made us feel like valued guests rather than just another table. His warm demeanor and genuine passion for the food elevated our experience significantly.

Overall, I highly recommend Beirut Khanum for anyone looking to enjoy exquisite Lebanese cuisine in a welcoming setting. If you have the chance, ask for Sami—his service will surely...

With my friend, we arrived at Boulevard City in Riyadh with the intention of having dinner at “Petit Café,” a restaurant we regularly visit. However, we noticed the “Beirut Khanum” restaurant and thought we’d give it a try since it also serves Lebanese cuisine.

As they offer shisha, it was expected that the place would be smoky, so we requested to be seated at a table near the entrance, where the air would be clearer. Unfortunately, the person in charge told us that table was reserved. Looking further inside the restaurant, it was clear that the smoke had filled the space.

He then offered us another table, but the couch was visibly dirty. When we pointed it out, he insisted it wasn’t actually dirty and that those were just stains. Still, the fabric looked unclean, and we didn’t feel comfortable sitting there.

Finally, he suggested a small table near the entrance. We asked for a double table instead, but he refused. It’s well known that Lebanese mezze typically requires a larger table due to the variety of dishes, and it’s surprising that, as a Lebanese himself, he didn’t take that into consideration.

In the end, we decided to leave. The person in charge didn’t make the slightest effort to encourage us to stay or even address our concerns. It was a truly disappointing experience, and for that reason, I’m giving this restaurant...
