    The best food / service I have experienced in Beirut. Food is perfectly crafted. Served in your plate delicately by a very meticulous staff. My favorite were the cheese burger, the shrimp hummus. Their rose lemonade is also perfect. Can’t recommend this place enough

    Very nice seafood restaurant located in Zaytouna Bay. I went there for fried sardines which I was craving long ago away from Lebanon & it was delicious 😋. Batata harra dish was the best I ever taste in my life ☺️🥹. Tabbouleh was super. Everything was awesome the team were so attentive and professional. Will go back for shisha and other sea food 😎

    A quite original cuisine with a perfect blend of flavors. Lebanese taste revisited in a very balanced manner. Try the octopus, the fatteh, the aubergines, the hommos ... and definitely the fish. Don’t forget the desert, keeping in mind that portions are generous.

    Em sherif sea is the best and the only best seafood and Mediterranean food in lebanon!! Im always amazed by the great hospitality and service. The quality of the food is amazing and literally everything you order from the menu is delicious. Location is spectacular, tables and everything else is very clean, abiding to social distancing during this pandemic. I highly recommend this place!!

    Clearly one of the best restaurant in Beirut . Everything is delicious, from the raw fish, to the falafels, the wine, ... Very close to a gourmet restaurant both in terms of quality and presentation of the dishes or even the service which is just perfect. Enjoy, you won't regret it. Count 100$ for 2.

    I’m very disappointed from the work of hostess Saimon. He was very rude. My friend was the first time in this beautiful city Beirut and there were a lot of tables outside and inside at the restaurant. Some people advice us ‘Em Sherif and we were in anticipation. and what a disappointment it was, when Simon categorically said no. He was rude and deceiving, looking into his eyes. it was terrible. He spoiled our impressions about the chain of restaurants, about the city and the country! Shame.

    I recently visited the place with friends and we were very disappointed. The lack of a paper menu definitely makes it difficult for visitors, especially from abroad. You have to scan 3 QR codes that present you the menu, the same loads slowly and is not convenient for adults (must wear glasses). The food is nothing special and is incomparable to Babel's restaurant (named on the same port). The waiters bustled about and topped up the deliveries with harana. I definitely do not recommend the place.

    Went there for desserts and drinks, the Em Ali was amazing as always and the honey cake was good. The milk cake was like an alcohol free baba au rhum, not my thing. Great service, as usual in Em Sherif ❤️

  • 5/5 Andy S. 10 months ago on Google
    Came for dinner with friends during a short trip to Beirut. Located with views of the boats, the tables weren't too close to each other. Shisha is available. 4 of us enjoyed a variety of dishes the fish shawarma and calamari dishes were especially good, aswell as the desserts! Would recommend Em Sherif whether just a couple or a large group,

    As a pescatarian, it’s safe to say I take my fish pretty seriously. Emm Shariff has not only exceeded my expectations but we were also blessed to have an outstanding waiter. Ali Daher went out of his way to make sure our experience was out standing. Em sharif is now officially my favorite restaurant in Lebanon, from the amazing fish burgers to the cauliflower and shrimp fatteh. Food here is a 10/10 and em sharif herself came to our table just to double check that everything was ok which is always a good sign. I would definitely recommend and return.

    very delicious shrimp fatteh and fish kuba lt was a very good experience especially for someone who´s not eating sea food# expensive .

  • 1/5 Hayder S. 1 year ago on Google
    I do not recommend any sea food here. They brought Calamari which was not cooked well. That caused food poisoning. Bad experiance of sea food. I am a sea food lover and this is the last place that you shall go. To be fair, their appetisers and beaf / chicken gril were vefy good

    Great food and excellent service. Their spicy potatoes are to die for. Rich in flavors and has the right amount of spice kick to it.

    I had a lovely experience when I went: food was amazing, staff were friendly and the view was spectacular - would’ve given it a 5 star rating. However, I rated this as 3 stars because my really close friend visited (as per my suggestion) and booked for 20 people, where 9 of them got food poisoned from the raw meats they ate… None of them got an apology after complaining or a refund. Hopefully they are taking these things more seriously now.

    We struck out at the other Em Sherif location, but were not disappointed about that after enjoying an excellent lunch here. The food quality was amazing, from the shrimp hummus to the fresh seafood impeccably prepared and presented. Staff was friendly, helpful, and efficient. Loved the ambiance of their outdoor seating with an excellent view of the harbor.
