    I ordered takeout lunch for the family but kebab had completely raw meat. When we called the manager he replied that it’s just a paprika!!! He refused to see the photos of their kebab or further discuss of this matter. Guys, do you really believe that we can’t tell and TASTE the difference between paprika and raw meat? Disgusting food and incompetent management!

    It's pity and really disgusting meet, when you feel hungry and you trust that you will eat normal meel of kebab, beef BBQ, chicken tawook etc... suddenly you open the door to pay 50$ running to open boxes with high appetite but you see disgusting half raw meet not ready, dry chicken tawook sandwich, simply I call twice to receive negative reply... I do not recommend this place to anyone.. It's wasting time and money, go to your fridge eat any available home food but never eat from this " restaurant "

We bought 1 Kabab Halabi( Great taste-soft meat) 1 Kabab Khachkhach( middle Hot-with crushed tommatto) 1 Tabbouleh(a sugggestion: put kabab and Tabbouleh in Pita bread that they bring for you and ENJOY!)

    Calling all Barbecue Lovers! If you're in Jal el Dib, this place is a must-visit. We were a group of 19 people, mostly ordering sandwiches for our gathering. The delivery option was great, and the portion size easily fed all of us. The sandwiches arrived fresh and steaming hot. Though we had a small issue with one sandwich, their customer service was excellent. When we contacted them, they quickly redelivered the correct sandwich without any trouble. Now, about the food - I chose the meat (lahmeh) and chicken (taouk) sandwiches, and both were really satisfying. If you have a big appetite, I highly recommend trying the meat sandwich and sharing another flavor with a friend. The restaurant specializes in Lebanese barbecue, and the sandwiches capture the delicious and rich flavors of the cuisine. In conclusion, this place is definitely worth a visit. The overall experience, from the tasty food to the efficient service, leaves you with a positive impression. Check this place out; you won't regret it!

    I used to like this place until i ordered lunch and i had a long hair inside my food, on top of that after contacting them they didn’t admit that this was their fault, also the delivery guy was lost to find the location after contacting me and calling me for 5 times, the food got delivered after 1 hour and a half, it was very cold and the delivery guy was angry and rude…. Bad experience 👎

    I have been a customer for the past 11 years, superb food quality, it porbably offers the tastiest raw lamb meat in Lebanon (ftile). Everything is very delicious from Fattouch salad to Spicy Potatoes, hommos with awarma, cheese rolls, mix grill..

    When i was having dinner at abou Jihad with friends, a fat waiter came by and grabbed an empty cup of arak from our table and soak water and drank at the bar next to our table. He was soo irrespectful .... Also the quality of food was ok.. used to be better

    Place is a small restorant located near the main roads of jal el dib. With few locations to park and a valet service. You are welcomed with friendly staff. Locations require reservation since they are always crowded. At the time of the visit, the place was crowded. Food took a while to be served. Hummus: was good freshly made Fattouch: lacks cucumbers and tomato came with big uncut green vegetables ( not fresh) Sanbusik: came fried and well drained from oil, thin and crusty, but meat insert lacks flavour. Spicy fries: well fried and came dried from oil crusty and good spicy combination. Tawook platter: was about 2 shish of tawook with nothing else. Was well cooked jucy and well done. Meat wrap: meat was well done and cooked, wrap came with meat hummus and few green vegetables, with lot of bread. Despite the excess, it was tasty. Plase is known for his grill. They are always on point, but latley can be considered as pricy since portions are getting smaller. Place is recommended for a takeout since atmospheres in restaurants are not the best too noisy and crowded.

    Used to be big fan of this place, unfortunately food (meat, taouk) quality and taste became less than average. Even humus and fatoush were not good

  • 5/5 Mary H. 10 months ago on Google
    All-time favorite kabab place. Highly recommend the kabab orfali and kabab halabi or just some lamb chops. either way you won't be disappointed. The meat is juicy and tender. Their spicy potato cubes are also a favorite. The service was fast and the atmosphere was clean. They even serve a small plate of mouhallabiye after you're done with your meal.

    If you're going for the food - then Abiu Jihad has really amazing food (my favorite being the Kabab Orfali) and an amazing value for money especially considering other restaurants that charge 10 times more for equal or less food taste. The service was okay, sometimes you need to grab the waiters' attention but they are always ready to provide you with what you need. And the atmosphere is not the best in the sense of noise or some people smoking around inside the restaurant (not in the smoking area) and the bathrooms could use better maintenance. However if you are looking for a local hidden gem and you are going for good lebanese food and don't want to be ripped off - then this is the place to be! Def recommended

    Disgusting the foos is not fresh stale French fries and tabouleh from the day before as for the service staff were only nice to those who order Arak or to their regular as a new first time in there we were treated like garbage they barely answered us to get us water and Pepsi

  • 4/5 Paja P. 5 years ago on Google
    Great food, a slightly more expensive than I'd expect considering food is generally very cheap in Lebanon. Still, much cheaper than if you choose to eat on the seafront, which could be as expensive as London. The choice is very good, and you get a complimentary dessert and fruit, so there's no need to order any.
