    Came twice to this place. It's absolutely tasty, food is great, staff os great, prices are decent and reasonable. Just loved it, that's why I repeated. Location wise couldn't be better as well. If you re into middle eastern, give it a try.

    It was a pleasant evening. I really like the interior of this place. Beautiful tiles, a nice combination of colors, dim light and chandeliers that fit well. The prices are affordable for Helsinki. We had shawarma and wine. I like it better with more vegetables and sauce in the shawarma, but all the ingredients were of high quality. The wine was decent

    We stopped by accident as it was closest to our hotel and we arrived late & really hungry - and it was the best choice that we could have made. The food is fresh, portions are big and very tasty. We liked it so much that we returned two days later for lunch :) Highly recommended!

    Amazing place to go for an amazing brunch/lunch. Prices are very reasonable especially for what you get and the lady that helped us was very friendly and helpful as well. Also the coffee was great. Will definitely come back when I’m in Helsinki again!

    We came Friday evening, it was crowded and The waitress was running all around. But she was smiling and bribing everything very quickly. The food was delicious! I took vegan meze and my husband tried goat cheese roll. Both we enjoyed it.

    This is the best Middle Eastern food I've ever had in a restaurant. Plenty of fresh options on the menu put together with an eye to style on the plate - it just looks so good sitting there in front of you that you struggle between diving right in and holding back to appreciate the presentation...okay, well maybe not so much of a struggle, I dived right in. Pleasant staff, comfortable ambience, top-notch ingredients. A great spot.

    Lovely restaurant, would definitely recommend We have had a wonderful dinner here this evening. The owner (I guess) was very friendly and helpful, service was good and the food was absolutely great. Pricing is very friendly also. Too bad we are leaving for home tomorrow or I would eat here again.

    I went to Levant in Bulevardi, the food was good, but the service must be the worst I have ever experienced in a very long while. Moreover, even if the food was ok, our appetite didn't last long after noticing the level of dirtiness of the place. The floor was dirty, our table was dirty, three out of four glasses on our table were dirty (hard to forgive as we're going through a pandemic). After alerting the server, she took the dirty glasses away, brought new ones back slamming them face-down over the dirty table and left. Not a single word was spoken, no apologies whatsoever. Plus, the same server refused to take our orders in English, while she spent the whole time we were at Levant talking in English with her other colleague (we felt made fun of, to be honest). I worked in the restaurant industry myself for many years, and I know how tough and frustrating it can be - which is also why I didn't make a big deal out of it when interacting with the server in question. She looked very young, and one cannot possibly know if this unprofessional and careless attitude is her simply not knowing how to do the job, or maybe a response to unfair treatment (you know the drill: unpaid shifts, long working days with no proper breaks...) So, my suggestion for the management of Levant, is to have a talk with the staff, address this kind of situation, and try to understand the cause. If any problems are raised, listen to your staff and do your best to solve them, because they are the people who represent your business to your paying customers. If your staff isn't happy, customers won't be happy either. All the best!

    I went two years ago and it was amazing. Service and food were great. I went again today and I felt like I was in a complete different place. The waiter said she didn’t speak good English (so we had to switch to Finnish) but spent the entire time speaking English with her colleague (fine, we are in Finland). The table was dirty, there was food on the floor under our table, and three out of four glasses on our table were dirty. The same waiter, when we asked for new glasses, looked at them, went away and brought new ones placing them face down and did not say a word, a single word. No apologies at all. I understand anyone can have a bad day but good manners are important in every job. Also, cleanliness during covid is essential and not an option. I really don’t feel like going again, even though the food was quite good and prices are cheap.

    Tasty Syrian food served elegantly. The decoration of the restaurant is so beautiful and the staff are very nice and friendly

  • 5/5 Petros PAPAZOGLOU P. 1 year ago on Google • 269 reviews
    If you enjoy flavours like hummus and falafel, this is the place for you! Nice flavour combinations delivered with care in narrow plates! The restaurant also prepares nice fruit juice combinations and Lebanese wine! The service is excellent, extremely caring and polite! I recommend this place!

    The chicken shawarma ordered during the syö12 week was a disappointment. I'm lebanese and it unfortunately doesn't compare to what a real shawarma is. An honest mistake occured from the cashier as well where she put the wrong item and I was overcharged. A small hassle and i ended up getting the difference back in cash.

  • 5/5 Chrisanne K. 8 months ago on Google • 24 reviews
    We made a group booking in advance and had a fantastic time. Everyone enjoyed their food and the wine was great. The restaurant has a nice vibe and atmosphere. The service was top notch and they were easily able to accommodate our large group and various dietary needs. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Kaitlyn M. 6 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    Loved this place! The vegan options were lovely and flavorful, although as just a bit of constructive criticism I think the hummus could use a bit of salt :) Just make sure when you order the falafel and baba ganoush to SPECIFY they need to be vegan, because yogurt is used in the default way of serving them, and I got a bit confused because falafel and baba ganoush are often vegan in general, and the V symbol next to them on the menu made my brain think they were already vegan.

    Food was AMAZING! We had a meze platter and a salad. Such a delicious flavours and generous portions. Staff was super friendly and nice as well. We went there on a busy weekend evening, unfortunately didn’t get a seat inside but thankfully they had tables outside as well. A bit chilly this time of the year, but definitely worth it. Thank you!! :)

    Outstanding food! We ate halloumi rolls as a lunch. Quite a big dish, but nothing compared to the taste of it. Good flavours and fresh ingredients. Will come again 👍

  • 5/5 Carl T. 2 years ago on Google
    This was my first meal in Helsinki. Grabbed some lunch here after arriving from the airport. Really fresh, healthy, delicious food without breaking the bank. Also friendly service. Would definitely recommend. If this place existed back home, I would eat here for lunch regularly!

  • 3/5 Anoop K. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was decent, nothing extra ordinary. Had to use Salt and Pepper to make the dish more enjoyable. May be understaffed, During lunch hours, they are running between tables, taking orders and cleaning. End results- not a relaxed place to eat, lot of banging and clinging sounds inside dining area, unclean cutleries.

  • 5/5 saman p. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was super delicious and restaurant environment was so authentic! I wish I had more time in my short visit to Helsinki to try their food one more time!

  • 5/5 Rami El D. 1 year ago on Google
    Tasty and authentic food. Great location, the Bulevardi street view on the terrace is something like central European. The staff is friendly... Highly recommended

  • 5/5 LE FUR Y. 1 year ago on Google
    This restaurant is a rare find ! Everything is excellent the food is really full of different flavours and in top of that super healthy. You can find many different type of meal like shawarma, plates... for a cheap price. I really recommend the burger that is an absolute masterpiece ! The service is really great and so nice. The place is really comfortable and very clean.

  • 5/5 Yaëlle H. 1 year ago on Google
    A very good lebanese restaurant ! We recommand it a lot !

  • 3/5 Sami R. 1 year ago on Google
    I visited last Saturday with my daughter and we left with very mixed feelings. The chef was smiling, portion was large enough and flavours were really good. Unfortunately the server we had was not in par with the food. A soda took several minutes to arrive to the table 2m away. The server forgot that I paid and ordered a beer, I didn't even get an apology, just "oh yeah".

  • 5/5 Jordan S. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a delicious dinner here on an overnight stay in Helsinki. The staff was friendly and helpful! I ordered the falafel burger and it was amazing (although a bit messy 🙂) and definitely filling. The portion was generous and the process were fair. Would definitely recommend stopping here for a quick bite if in Helsinki and craving Middle Eastern food!

  • 5/5 Jhumur J. 1 year ago on Google
    We were looking to have just appetizers & found this restaurant across the hotel. Despite being fully booked, the man—who appears to be the owner—was able to get us a little, cozy table. We ordered a cold mezze platter and a glass of red wine. The vibes of this place are so positive; it was really a great evening. Food, ambience, and service were impeccable. Thus, I must say, if you are seeking refined Arabic cuisine in a magical setting, Levant is the venue.

  • 4/5 pranay u. 1 year ago on Google
    Went here for a casual lunch on a Sunday. Didn’t need a reservation and got a table via walk in. We ordered three chicken shawarmas and a mezzo platter. The shawarmas portion size was huge. It tasted nice but I wouldn’t say authentic. The mezze platter on the other hand was very nice all the dips were well made.

    This is by far the best Syrian food we have had in Helsinki. Service was impeccable. Restaurant ambiance was also pleasant. First visit. Definitely won't be our last.

    (Translated by Google) Very tasty food, filling and fresh portions. Reportedly the best falafels in town. Dishes for vegans too! Friendly service. (Original) Erittäin maukasta ruokaa, täyttävät ja tuoreet annokset. Kuulemma kaupungin parhaat falafelit. Annoksia vegaaneille myös! Ystävällinen palvelu.

  • 3/5 # G F. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice atmosphere and staff. But the food is just average. Surprisingly my meze plate was consisted of humus and chickpeas which humus is literally chickpea, itself. And lots of yogurt on every corner. Anyways in total I would call it OK middle eastern food. The smoothie I have tried was good one.

  • 4/5 Sari K. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The flavors are right, but you may not have been able to replace dinner on the mezla plate. The plus is that while waiting (clearly a popular place!) You got a glass of ice-cold, fresh lemon-ginger lemonade! Happy 🍋💦 (Original) Maut kohdallaan, mutta mezelautasesta ei ehkä ihan illallisen korvaajaa saanut. Plussaa siitä, että odottaessa (selkeästi suosittu paikka!) sai lasillisen jääkylmää, raikasta sitruuna-inkivääri limonadia! Hyvää 🍋💦

    (Translated by Google) Absolutely great vegetarian food. What kind of paste, spice and taste comes in the mezes and you don't get hungry. The price is also in place. (Original) Aivan loistavaa kasvisruokaa. Mezeissä tulee mukaan vaikka minkälaista tahnaa, maustetta ja makua ja ei kyllä jää nälkäiseksi. Hinta myös kohdillaan.
