Street Beirut - Geneva — Restaurant in Geneva

I love Lebanese food, so I was happy to try this restaurant..

Pros: the kofta was juicy and delicious..the taboula salad was tasty, and the hummus was creamy and flavorful, though it needed more garlic. I did not have the falafels which I wanted to try, but the server said the minimum order was 4 pieces, and I already had a large plate. People sitting next to me ordered the falafel sandwich and told me they loved it.

Cons: in Lebanese food bread is everything. I was very disappointed in the pita bread they used. It was dry, felt stale, and it really denigrated the delicious kofta and the hummus. There has to be other options in Geneva for better, fresher bread. Please add more garlic to your delicious hummus. Lastly, the server did not really engage me. I always like to leave a tip, and I wanted some Gelato after my meal, but I sat there for a long time and nothing happened after finishing my meal. So I went inside, paid my bill and left.

Verdict : good Lebanese street food, but would improve with better bread.

I Would recommend a visit. Also please have a la carte orders so people like me can try small portions of...

It was the worst Lebanese foods I've had in Geneva, if not ever.

The food tasted bad. The sweets were so old and tasted awful. It was too old. I couldn’t cut it with a knife. It also tasted funny. The service was also bad. We struggled to get the waiters' attention and had to walk to the service bar more than once to order. They also forgot our order at one point, and we had to walk to the bar (again) to remind them.

It was recommended to me by a friend who was with me when we dined in, and she was surprised that the food was so bad. Apparently, the quality dropped significantly.

None of us was able to finish our meals (yes, it was that bad). And the sweets were mostly untouched.

Also, it was fairly expensive, especially considering the horrible food quality.

Not...

If you’re after mezze style classical authentic tasty Lebanese food, for a casual everyday style quick meal, this is the place I’d wish I could eat at everyday!!! Service is impeccable, from receptionist to waiter/manager to friendly and smiley chefs!!!! I always thought that when the owner has his eyes and is close to his/her business, it’s always a success… we noticed the owner sitting nearby, observing, tasting and guiding in a subtle way his staff!!!! Keep it up guys and see you soon! 🥰

Please don’t tell customers that you close by 14h30, just stop taking orders by 14h…...
