    🔹Rating: 5/5 🔹Experience: This place is simply amazing. Starting with the location, located in badaro on the main road, to the interior decoration which is very nice, cozy space yet spacious comfortable seating area. Staff starting with the manager and all the waiters are very welcoming professional and friendly. Service speed ia very good and items are very affordable. 🔹Food: Menu is very rich and has many unique items. Mainly Lebanese dishes but some with a nice twist. We ordered the following: -Chanklish with Avocado: very nice combination I loved it. -Freekeh Salad: very fresh and tasty salad. -Khasbet Moushakaleh: A mix of Sfiha with different toppings. Very tasty. -Cheese Rolls with Basterma: it was my favorite very delicious. -Makanek: tasty and delicious. -Rass Asfour: tasty meat tender and fresh. -Fatteh Shawarma: Strange combination yet very tasty. I loved it. -Soujouk with Laban: very tasty and nice combination as well. -Teshkelet kafta w arayis khodra: tasty and delicious. -Battata Hara: very tasty -Vine leaves with yogurt: one of the tastiest vine leaves as it feels like been done at home. Juicy tender and tasty. I also tried the special argheli they have and it was simply amazing. All I can say that this place is highly recommended and I will sure get back soon to it. 👍👍👍👍👍

    The bright vibes the place gives off are inviting, as for the staff they are very friendly and professional. The food looks enticing, you can’t not love the presentation. We had the breakfast offer and it is a must try if you ever find yourself in Badaro in the morning with some time to spare.

    Ambience is nice. Good air-conditioning and the service is quick. The beetroot salad was very good! Hummus and batata harra are good bit not very special. I recommend this place in Badaro

    This is the third time I visit this place and I can say they got consistency in what they do. The seating areas are simply decorated and varied with different styles of chairs and tables, their service is very good and fast. When it comes to food, main dishes are delicious with proper ingredients, their desserts options are very limited and definitely need to be reconsidered. They allow playing cards inside which may cause some disturbance for people going to relax. Their shisha is good and prices are relatively fair.

    Met our friends over at Cafe Badaro. As soon as you enter, you can notice that the place is well lit and gives a fresh dining feeling in the atmosphere. It isn't your traditional Lebanese cuisine; chef Joe has managed to create his twists within this restaurant, and did so well indeed. We ordered some side dishes to try out: - Makanek (4/5) - Minted labne (4/5) - Fatte hommus (3.5/5) - Hendbeh (4/5) - Beetroot paste (3.5/5) - Sfiha: 3 different flavors (3.5/5) Overall it was a very nice experience. Waiters were very attentive and the service was fast. The manager even visited our table to check if everything was okay. Definitely visiting again to try out different menu items.

    Don't come for the food (it's not good at all!) come for the simple pleasures like good shisha, tea, coffee with nice ambiences. A large leafy airy space with spaced out tables ensuring privacy. You can spend the whole day here. Don’t waste your money on the drinks cocktails. Sure they said, than I caught them doing an internet search for the recipe.

    Since the day I stepped foot in Cafe Badaro I was treated with the up most respect and had the best service of any cafe I’ve been to. The workers were very nice and funny and would make jokes and just give us all a good time. When it came to the hookahs they have the best hookahs in all of Lebanon and if your hookah did have a little problem they would replace it right away and make sure that your satisfied. Finally the food was fantastic it exceeded our expectations, I wanted to order knafeh but sadly they didn’t have it but they recommended me this French desert that was a French toast soaked in syrup with a large scoop of ice cream on top it was to die for. The prices are very reasonable and the taste of everything there is unbelievable. I’ve been going there almost everyday throughout my stay in Beirut. Love the seating and the whole environment is perfect, I would recommend anyone to come.

    Location is amazing. The place looks small when enter, but it has a huge backyard. When arrived, staff rush to serve you. Reservation may be needed sometimes. Clam in weekdays and crowded in weekends. Food is simply delicious and tasteful. I really like their delicious, and fresh baked bread. And i recommend to try their meat shawarma (delicious). Not cheap nor expensive compared to quality and servings. Background music and bar are available.

    We use to enjoy coming here, yesterday we invited our colleagues to have a good time, we felt unwelcome , the ambiance was dull, the service was bad, no one cared that we were there, a couple of items that we ordered, needed to be reminded that we ordered them, more than once. We ordered shisha, no one came around the whole time we were there, to check on the charcoal or change them. It’s not like there wasn’t staff available or a supervisor, they were all there, but non existent.

  • 4/5 Maher S. 9 months ago on Google
    It was my first time visiting cafe badaro, and my experience was very positive. Aside from the cigar and shisha smoke that was disturbing, the food was yummy. We ordered fattoush, bakleh with bulghareh, batata w kezbara, hommos shattah, shrimp fatteh, grilled cheese rolls. Everything was tasty and delicious (only the hommos' dish was average), and I would definitely visit again.

    We had a bad experience in the restaurant good food but the grill is open to to the table we couldn't afford the smell of the charcoal. The manager didn't come to the table. Waiters tried to manage it in a good way. I will not repeat this experience I didn't enjoy.

    Nice Place, Clean. Fast Service. Affordable prices. Fresh and good tasting food. Friendly Staff... The only thing i wasn't happy about, is that, when we ca me in, the place was not crouded at all. only few tables we re occupied, but the waiter refused to let us have a seat on the table that we choose, just because we were 2, and the table was for 6 persons. However, i understand that he could be right at some point, but that day the restaurant was almost empty, and that made me a little bit upset, as i didn't feel that i m a valued customer. So i suggest that you work a little bit more on your hospitality ;)

    Atmosphere: The set on our table was already so nice from the moment we sat down, and the atmosphere was very welcoming with its vegetation hanging from the ceiling and the soft lighting. Food: we ordered the iftar menu that was very generous. It could have easily served more than two people. The variety of food offered was abundant (soup, fattoush, different types of humus, grills, some other small plates, and dessert). Our favorite plate was the “batata harra” that had a very authentic taste. Service: very fast, friendly and efficient. Pricing: when it comes to comparing to other restaurants that offered similar iftar menus, we felt that it was very fairly priced considering the larger amount of food served. ( half the plates were still unfinished) M&M
