I added photos of the entrance because this restaurant was a bit tricky to find. First, you go through the pedestrian entrance in the photo, if you’re going by grab select the “meridien hotel ballroom lobby” option. Enter the hotel and turn to the right. Turn left down a hallway, If you reach a Japanese restaurant you have gone too far. You will see a big blue “music bar” when you get here, turn left. You will see the restaurant here. The restaurant is very luxurious and all the staff are dressed in traditional costumes. The staff were very polite to me but did not pay much attention to my Indonesian wife. I felt quite uncomfortable as the ladies carefully tucked me in and laid a napkin across me while my wife did everything herself. Maybe I’m a bit old fashioned, but I believe the woman should be seated first. The food was delicious, the hummus was rich and smooth, the baba ghanoush was just the right level of smoky and fresh, the lamb was juicy and tender. We paid 740,000 for a very substantial meal and two mock tails. Aside from our slightly weird serving experience, it was very nice.

Had the buffet. The varieties were really good. The Mutton was well cooked and so soft. The dessert were amazing. Ambience was very nice. Had a few belly dancers come and entertain us for a while. It was a good experience. The staff was very friendly and providing excellent service. The 2 apple shisha was really good. Overall a very nice experience.

Nice restaurant inside le meridien hotel. It's not crowded and the price is good. I like to have lunch here. The food is good. Service a little slow sometimes, but they are kind and they ask you about the food.

Very nice restaurant, great service and amazing belly dancer! Food was above average at best. I’ve had better middle eastern cuisine and had high expectations here. Dessert was very nice though! Experience was nice with the interior decor and the beautiful belly dancer. Very friendly and good moves! Wine selection was rather limited as well.

Authentic Middle East cuisine! Beautiful interior and settings. Started with complementary sweet Strawberry Rose Tea and refreshing wet towel. Interesting menu that I dont remember any of the names. They were all recommended by the waiters. Roast Chicken Shawarma: 4.5/5 Similar to chicken kebab with less sauce. Grilled and served with unique pomegrenate salad. Full of meat and veggies inside Lamb Skewer with Fragrant Rice: 5/5👍 Tender minced lamb meat, dipped with garlic yoghurt mayo. Spiced long grained rice with raisin Pastry Dessert: 5/5👍 Im sorry I miss the name. Its really unique. Must try! Moist, warm and sweer pastry with a lot of fillings Appetizers: thin bread with 3 dipping choice. Hummous, parsley lemon, and something 🙈 Love their garlic yoghurt mayo dipping❤ Basically I ordered their 350k set menu. The portion is enough for 2pax sharing.

Authentic Lebanese Restaurant. This place is really great. The chef is from the middle east and has reproduced all the authentic dishes, with the same authentic flavors. The buffet is well worth it, even though a little bit pricey. The only changes that were made are (1) the Shish Tawook does not have enough garlic (to be authentic) , but that is because Indonesians do not like too much this wonderful paste; and (2) Salt is not added so that people can accommodate to their taste. The bread is 100% Lebanese bread! Of course all the food is Halal by design, in order to please all the customers. So there you have it: if you want to impress your friends, go on Friday or Saturday and have the buffet. The belly dancer will be a nice surprise.

In this town, there are two established names for middle eastern cuisine, turkuaz and @alnafourarestaurant Recommended for Vegan/Vegetarians Started with Cold Mezzah Platter (two spreads, fatoush and tabbouleh, and baba ganoush - I do love aubergine) Rp180,000 Makluba - it's like biryani but less strong and less greasy. Rp 150,000 The spice-marinated and perfumed long grain rice topped with pan-fried aubergine - again - and toasted cashew nuts. It's really a big portion, so recommended for sharing. (For meat lover, Haruf Ouzi, rice and lamb leg - really soft!!, Is recommended. Rp 300,000) I finish off the meal with mint tea. It was complimentary. The staff here are very well informed with their foods. Come up with perfect recommendations and service is flawless. Among all, Ms Esa is amazing. They also have weekend buffet night if you want to indulge middle eastern food. Around rp 700,000 per person.

Went here 1PM Thursday for business lunch, only a couple crowd in place. Located in Le Meridien, they serve Lebanese & Middle Eastern cuisine. There are lots of indoor, outdoor, and private room seatings. Waiters are super helpful and informative in recommending the food & drink. At night they also have dance performance. Since we had a sharing plate menus, I tried mix of their food which combines lamb, beef, and seafood mix. Biryani rice, bread, and hummus dippings are plenty to accompany. All taste great, savory, and rich. The lassi and juices are also refreshing. Would recommend for business lunch here.

Middle easter themed restaurant. Have a small prayer spot on the second floor. I went here during a buffet night in Ramadan. There's also a live arabian music. I like the atmosphere

First time trying Lebanese food and quite happy with both service and the food. Appetizers were delightful. Main course is good, chose a safe one. But, the dessert was a perfect closure. Asked in details most of the menu and they answered well along with the recommendation. Overall, a really nice experience here.

Best Middle Eatern dining in Jakarta. Start from nice interior that represent the style of Lebanese following all the ornaments, decor and serving display. Available with many choice of dishes, great ingredients quality, nice seasoning. In note I am not sure how is the original Lebanese cuisines, but I do think the dishes here are suits my appetite.

Had all the banquets for the hungry boys right after golf event at Yarrambat Golf, just up the road. Awesome foods, especially the seafoods banquet, and friendly vigilant staff. Always asked if we need anything to top up. Had the Lebanese coffee and loving it! Topped up 3X🤪🤪🤪. Can’t wait to get back again for more experiences. It’s definitely a must try

As a passionate vegetarian always seeking vibrant flavorful fare, I found a new sanctuary for my palate at Al Nafoura Restaurant in Le Méridien Jakarta. Their extensive meatless menu spans the Middle East's most crave-worthy specialties from the sublime baba ganoush dip cradling smoky eggplants to the bright crunch of fattoush salad paired with the creamiest hummus in town. Every dish sings with fresh regional ingredients while service makes you feel like royalty in this east-meets-west oasis.The gracious staff guided my selections based on my taste preferences and even surprised me with custom-made creations like their spinach stuffed potato pastries in a saffron lemony broth. Their commitment to anticipating diners' individual needs permeates every moment. Along with the nurturing vegetarian cuisine prepared from the heart, Al Nafoura's lively Saturday Night Belly Dancing performances make it a can't miss local gem for a holistically joyful epicurean getaway. I cannot wait to return, glass of Lebanese wine in hand to toast this new sanctuary for the senses in Jakarta! Please let me know if you would like me to modify or enhance this review in any way. I'm happy to highlight any other specific dishes, qualities or experiences that showcase Al Nafoura's distinctive offerings.

I think this is the best place in Jakarta to get close to original Lebanese food. Price is high but you get what you pay for. Other places skimp on the ingredients and localize the taste and flavor too much. So, if you want the taste and flavor that is close to the original, then this is where you go in Jakarta. They serve fresh bread that is still hot when it arrives at your table. The meats are tender and juicy. The salads are great. Their knefeh is a bit lacking and too thin. Overall, great dining experience. The servers are super nice and you can ask for a picture menu on the ipad if you need help with identifying what is what on the menu. We’ve been here a few times already and it is always great to try something different on the menu. They have a buffet on Saturdays. Marriott Bonvoy folks get 15% off too. Extra point with the Amex card.

Went here with my little family. The food was good. They gave us a small drink in the beginning as refreshments. I forgot what it was called but it was really good. It was soda mixed with something, and they certainly added some herbs or spices into it. We ordered a platter and roti. The grilled chicken was really good, it was soft so it was good for my child. And of course, the oum Ali. In a shared bowl, it is perfect with a hint of pistachio. There was live arabian music and belly dance performances. The service was good. Waitresses wearing unique Lebanese dresses. They were very welcoming. If you ever want to come here, you need to go through the Le Meridien lobby. It's a little at the back, but the ambience was really good. Would love to be back here someday.

The food here is very delicious with the authentic middle eastern taste, it has good ambience and atmosphere you can enjoy while dining here.

The food test is amazing. The only thing I didn't like was the babaghanosh. Other than that, everything was good

Not Lebanese. The baba ganoush was so sour; it may have been spoiled, but I'm not sure. If you're expecting authentic Lebanese food, you are going to be disappointed. The rice had an excessive amount of cumin, making it difficult to eat. The chicken wasn't bad; I had that with pita bread. Nevertheless, it's a nice place to enjoy a beer or wine. As always enjoy yourself

It was fine. Not great. Not bad. The waitress was super polite, knowledgeable and friendly. The food was mostly average - except for the lamb chops. The lamb chops were good. Everything else tasted very average.

This restaurant deserves a 5 stars, the food are all perfect and the service are impeccable (mas manbib really help us)! I tried the set menu, so nice and worth it. Definitely coming back!

The people that serve us really courteous with a smile,foods was delicious and the ambience like we were some where in Lebanon.

if you are looking for a middle eastern restaurant this place is perfect because apart from the ambience which is very middle eastern the food menu is also a typical middle eastern menu

This is a pretty decent Lebanese restaurant. The food is pretty heavy so it's advisable to come here with an empty stomach.

I truly loved this restaurant, the atmosphere was amazing and there is an Arabic songs also a band who played an Arabic music. The services was fast and the staff was kind. But compared to the price the amount of food was small.

The service is fantastic. The food is great for AYCE. Favourite dish are their desserts and some Arabic foods. And the place is really cozy and comfortable.

Good Food, Good Atmophere, 5 Star Service... surely me & family will make a visit again... 👍👍👍

IMHO, the most authentic middle eastern food. Or Lebanese maybe, idk. Anyway, it was fantastic.

Food was good and authentic. Love the environment and service was good too. Came here on friday night, no queue and during the dinner there were belly dancer performer, quite entertaining. If you come on saturday night it say they will serve buffet price approximately rp 400k ++ and half price for children below 12.

Good food .. great lebanese taste

The service was excellent and the stuff tried to be very accommodating. The food is fresh and delicious I highly recommend the lamb chops and or course the cold mezze platter. Overall a very nice Lebanese cuisine in the heart of Jakarta.

I really like this place, the interior inside makes you feel like in one of Arab countries! Food is amazing definitely recommended to dine in here

Great ambience, very friendly, attentive staff and good food. Highly recommended. Tried the set with mixed grill, generous serving size good for two person.

Nice place, comfortable and good food! Great if you want to try some different experience of eating. Try their lunch package! More than enough for two. Tasty and authentic!

The food is very authentic and the prices are great, Definitely a must try if you're a lebanese/arab expat living in jakarta like i am.

Celebrating Le Meridien 30th Anniversary, we got value for money offers to dine in Al-Nafoura, the place still beautiful as always, the food is as usual, Good, the entertainment, the belly dancer.. Awsome! Only a bit warm, like no- AC, maybe of this Omicron thing, server friendly as usual. This restaurant has been there for forever. Congratulations!!! And as we r reguler, the supervisor Anastasia bring us moms fave.. Miellefieulle cake numero UNO only at Le Meridien👍

Amazing food ., amazing Service very friendly… The Hummus the Bread is just what you looking for Shawarma good ..

Had lunch there on May 9. We ordered food : 1. Harouf Ouzi - lamb shank : recomended 👍🏻 the meat soft and nice taste. 2. Lamb Chops : recomended 👍🏻 with nice seasoning 3. Arayes - meat stuffed pitas 👍🏻 4. Kunafa Bi Jibneh - dessert 👍🏻 The place has good decorating and has nice spot for take photos But one suggestion for the resto is please concern about mosquitos.

One of the best Lebanese restaurant in south east asia. The belly dances are a bit inconvinient though

We ordered the cold mezzeh tasting platter, the Mechawoui Mshakala and lamb soup, and informed the waitress that they should all come together. She confirmed this arrangement and left. The cold mezzeh were all good, top quality ingredients and punchy flavours. The hummus was exceptional. Bread was fluffy but quite standard, and withered quickly in the cold air. You should try the bread at Istanbul Turkish Restaurant – truly outstanding. 15 minutes after the first dish, the soup arrived. At this point, I thought the remaining meat platter would follow quickly. The soup was good, the lamb chunks were flavourful and tender. Another 40 minutes went by and still no sight of the last dish. We asked a waitress and she said something about there being a large group and the chef needing to cook our food together with theirs. It’s a terrible excuse. She hurried away to check, and 15 seconds later she returned with our dish. I wonder if our dish was just sitting on the service counter turning cold, or if our plate coincidentally was just completed. One also wonders why they didn’t notice us sitting there not eating anything, and if they did, why they didn’t check on us? In any case, the meats were juicy, tender and bold. The accompanying “Oriental rice” was as confused in flavour as the name suggests. Also pretty sure not Lebanese. We asked the manager about our situation, given that we had waited an hour for all our food to arrive despite clear instructions for everything to come at the same time. She said the waitress had not noted our instruction, and offered a complimentary bread pudding dessert called Om-Ali. Think filo pastry flakes in warm, sweetened milk. Comforting, but glad we didn’t order it. For a hotel’s restaurant, I certainly expected much better service, though the food was competent.

Come in sunday...have so much variety food.. food taste was normal...heheh... Its good place... Lovely dancer... good service but to much arround asking sometimes but overal is good..
