    Seeking a high chair and a non-smoking area, I called Diwan Beirut in Antelias. I was pleasantly surprised when I was told that there was a smoking floor and a non-smoking floor. It had been a while since I had craved Lebanese cuisine throughout my pregnancy, but since I felt like having that, I dragged my family along with me. Wanting to try a new place, and relying on the fact that it comes from the same people who brought us Al-Sultan Brahim, we reserved a table for lunch. The man on the other end of the phone was very welcoming and professional, and when we arrived this great service continued until we were seated and ordered our food. However, after that, it was a miracle if we could find a waiter to help us out and when we did, it took us 3 times of ordering a diet soda to eventually receive it. Also, I had requested that no fresh vegetable garnish our food due to my current non-existent immunity, and it went well until the breaded shrimp platter arrived. We asked for another platter instead but we received the same shrimp constituents with the lettuce removed from underneath them. Let’s just say that we had to keep the “tarnished” shrimp on our table as hostage to make sure we received newly fried ones! As for the actual taste of the food, mostly everything I tasted was very good. The hummus was creamy, the fried kibbe was delicate, the fries were crispy, and the breaded shrimps were tasty and seemed fresh. I made it a point to try their mixed grilled skewers, and all three of the variations were delicious. The kafta was extremely tender, the meat was juicy, and the chich taouk was also succulent. In addition, the spices and marination were well balanced. When we were done, it took a really long time for the waiters to clear our table so that we could order dessert. However, when they did remove all the plates, we received an array of complimentary fruits and oriental sweets. The fruits looked very appealing, but when I spotted the lazy cake that I am familiar with from Al-Sultan Brahim, I had to have two slices, along with a piece of nammoura. They were a satisfying sweet end to the whole meal. All in all, although the service deteriorated towards the end of our lunch, the food rescued the whole experience at Diwan Beirut…this time.

    This place deserves 5 stars. We had the pleasure of dining at this exceptional Lebanese restaurant and it truly deserves five stars. The waiters, who happen to be sweet elderly individuals, added a charming touch to the dining experience. The portion sizes were fair, And let's not forget the complimentary desserts that added a delightful surprise to the meal. The flavors were absolutely delicious, showcasing the expertise of the chefs in preparing authentic Lebanese cuisine. From the warm ambiance to the impeccable service, this restaurant truly offers a remarkable dining experience that is worthy of high praise.

    Food is delicious. The service was so great that it was a little annoying. They kept coming to table & even kept standing & waiting to clear the table, even while you're still eating.

    The food and the service are excellent but the noise inside is beyond imagination True that people were talking loudly but there are no measures taken to absorb and reduce this very annoying atmosphere Couldn’t hear the one next to you except by reading lips

    Diwan Beirut Restaurant is a popular spot for those seeking the best shawarma in town and of course has the best Lebanese Mezze . Located on JaL el dib Highway, the restaurant is a local favorite for its delicious and freshly made shawarma.

    The group of four I dined with were all disappointed with our experience at the restaurant. We had ordered the formule, which promised a set menu at a fixed price, but were disappointed to find that the food quality had significantly decreased from our last visit. The dishes lacked flavor and seemed to be lacking in fresh ingredients. Additionally, the prices were quite high for the subpar food we received. They even created a new skewer which is chicken kabob... that was some cheap stuff. The desserts were strawberries, grapes, clementine and something like old toast with mhalabiye on it..We all left feeling unsatisfied and disappointed. Overall, I would rate the restaurant a 3/5.

    The atmosphere was classy and quiet. We were welcomed in a humble and pleasant way. Everything was clean and nice. The toilets were squeaky clean. The food was so delicious. As a vegan, i was able to eat all the mezza and most of the dessert. The manager was great as well. I felt comfortable and would visit again definitely for lunch or dinner!

    I’ve visited this place many time, and I ‘ll always do. It servers delicious various Lebanese traditional food, with generous portions. Their Mezza is rich and the raw meat is just like home, and off course don’t forget the barbecues… very well cooked. The restaurant is so classy and quiet and suitable for any business meeting. The staff welcomes you, in a humble and pleasant way. Everything is clean and nice.. This place is very well managed. Parking valet is gentle and polite. The coffee guy is very friendly.

😐 Saniour is a good restaurant for international food and shisha. The food is tasty but the quality is not the same anymore after the economic collapse in lebanon. The waiters were friendly and responsive.

🫤 We took the burger tower 🍔 It was highly overrated! Tasted okay but nothing special at all!! The burger tower can be shared with 4 people. The servers were cordial but not very welcoming.

👍👍 Excellent restaurant and highly recommended! Great food, service and view. You cannot sit at the tables immediately close to the sea because they are usually reserved for larger tables. The staff are very nice, and the service is quick.
