    I really like this place, it's a Lebanese restaurant/cafe right at the seaside, which in my opinion is an excellent combination! The entrance to every other detail shows a Lebanese authenticity which give a warm welcoming feeling. The service is great, we had a small annoyance from something that was a bit late they were kind enough to offer us like 4 free platers to compensate for the complaint. The food is delicious and there's a nice variety of foods obviously Meza and seafood of course! The place was packed which is nice for such a place and i'm told the sunset there is beautiful! Highly recommended 👌

    The staff here is amazing, it's like home. Try their new menu, pizza was delicious. I spend half my holidays here, it's chilled and easy to enjoy. Try to book though

    Went for dinner at "kahwet Al Mandaloun" was really dissapointed. It s a nargila / shisha place par excellence! Nice decor.. lovely garden but covered by the smokes of the nargilas. Food is served in small quantities.

    Covid friendly with sunny outdoor seating that over looks the bay. the breakfast options are great to have a sun basked brunch, and shisha if you are into that. busy on sunny days, best to book.

    This is a beautiful place, no doubt, that’s why it gets 4 stars! You must go there if you have the chance but you should know the following: It’s Chill, relaxed and very calm! More of a tanning and reading place than a partying and fun place! It’s too small as a beach club too! I went on a Friday afternoon that’s why I felt it’s empty. The entrance fees of $20 is pointless and should be removed! Replace it with $30 or $40 minimum charge for example, but $20 just to get in is ridiculous

    Really awesome view off the coast. The terrace is pretty great especially at sunset! The food is pretty good but service could have been a bit better with more initiative from waiters. Overall pretty good though

    I had the worst experience ever at this place. Starting from the entrance : “ I walked into the place and turned into the restaurant searching for my friends, no one bothered to come and ask me if I need anything , then waited at the door for more than 5 mins and no one came, I went to the manager that was standing next to the bar and asked him for a table he was very helpful actually so he pointed to the tables and told me chose the one u want :) Then my friends came and we waited for more than 15 mins and no one showed up so eventually we decided to chose a random table since no one cares to help . Few minutes Later a waiter showed up from no where so here I felt an inner joyful that whispered in my head that they noticed us and he came to apologize … but sadly he were in a hurry to inform us that the table is reserved for client by 8 PM :) so I I asked him in a gentle way: “ thats it ?? U didn’t even greet us Anw we will disregard that so please we want to order can u help ? . Here was the funniest part , he’s reaction was very rude and he turned his back and goes away as simple as that . So we decided to give this place a second chance with keep convincing ourselves that maybe they were busy or something maybe the manager will come and compensate us with a small apology but unfortunately no one did . For me it was horrible experience since I am a person that goes out a lot and work in this industry and it’s literally the first time I see such service and live that awful experience at a restaurant bearing in mind that Mandaloun is a big name in Lebanon and has a strong reputation.

    Before you go there make sure you "reserve" beach lounges... because apparently they take reservations for specific beach lounges and if you dont reserve you will be set up in the far back. So save your money and dont go there if youre not gonna reserve.

    Food was great, large choice and very tasteful Service was medium, we had to wait too long for every request. On top of that, the waiter decided that the extra $5 on the bill was for him. He should have returned the bill with our money, so we could decide how much we'd like to leave him!

    We ordered grilled meat with grilled potatoes. The potatoes and onions were raw, barely grilled! The cocktail platter of exotic fruits had bananas and apples in it, which was a shocker, coz at that price point i expected mango and avocado. The qty of achta was just ridiculous!!! This platter was an outright deception. As it is I cannot recommend it.

    Food is delicious but service was not good. Its my third time at mandaloun and always the service is not so good.

  • 1/5 Lamia A. 6 months ago on Google
    Not recommended at all. I got the worth experience in restaurants. The mezza was not fresh! The salads cutted 1 day before. The potato was full of oil. I thought maybe the fish will be ok. They seved to us the Octopus provençal was hard like nuts i think they made it hot many time. I can't imagine that Al Mandaloun between the best restaurants in Lebanon serve this quality of food. The wost part is that we called the manager and he was rude and for him everything was OK. The fried and grilled fish was good. A very bad customer service!

    This place is breathtaking! The pool is super clean and the staff are extra friendly and the service is over the top. The food and beverages prices are affordable. The entrance is 33$ which makes it a bit pricier than other places but the service inside makes it worth while. The whole ambiance is what you would expect mandaloun to be, really classy and peaceful, Their visitors are not ones to pick on you or make you feel uncomfortable which I really appreciate. I highly recommend it to people who appreciate some peace and quiet in a fancy place.

    The food was fine but the service was bad specially for the price you pay. We ordered akkawi and thyme kaake, it came dry and had barely any cheese in it, we complained to the waiter, he took the plate and didn’t replace it with a new one. We ordered 3 skewers of grilled chicken, only 2 skewers arrived, we told the waiter, it took him around 45 minutes to bring the missing items. It was clear that the waiter wasn’t professionally trained, he didn’t apologize and he didn’t know how to handle our complaints.

    Went on Sunday. Crowded. Service is super slow. Ordered second bottle of wine 2 times - never received it except that it was mentioned in our bill😂 Music is too loud so place is not for a chill definitely. Big holes in towels. Bathroom design is nice

  • 1/5 Samer B. 1 year ago on Google
    I ordered a daiquery and a bottle of water. I asked for my check at 2:40. I got my check at 2:50, and it was for 148,000LL. I paid 200,000LL. I waited for 30mins, my waiter didn’t get me my change back yet so I asked for it explicitly at 3:20. He gave me my 52,000LL change at 3:50. I left him 1,000LL tip. I’d rather go somewhere where I’m treated with respect next time.

    Good food, price is a on the higher side. But overall it is a nice ambiance with lovely lebanese food and fish.

    Service was very bad!! I had to wait 40 minutes just for my salad and kept reminding them of it. After I finally left, the valet parking hit my car door with the wall. I don't know why people think it's a good place.

    It was my second visit to this place Food was super delicious However, service wasn’t so good There was a waiter called “Gabriel” serving us: i asked him to turn off the heater above my head he rudely said : لا ما فينا سقعة, we were only 3 people in that section Finally, he lowered the volume of the heater and i changed my place.

👍👍 Let's start with the atmosphere, high sealing wide open area, luxurious walls and decorative doors . Indoor and out door seating areas. The only negative point I realized there in no access for special needs ( wheelchair and baby strollers) to enter the restaurant and to use the restrooms. Overall...

👍 This place is amazing. It has a swimming pool, seafood restaurant and a cafe. The swimming pool opens at 9 AM and closed at 6 PM. There’s a sunset view, shisha places and so many corners for photography. Very affordable place and amazing 🙏🏻🔥🔥
