    Oh my goodness this is a new favorite spot. I live in South Philly and made the trip over the bridge to dine here, and it did not disappoint! The food was so fresh, flavorful, and authentic. The service was outstanding. And it’s a BYOB! I will certainly be back; this rivals some of the Lebanese restaurants in Philly to be honest. Very similar quality to Laser Wolf and Zahav if not better. We didn’t do the tasting menu because we were on bikes so couldn’t take leftovers but absolutely getting that next time.

    Took a step outside my normal tastes to give Li Beirut a try on the recommendation of a few people. I am glad I did. This one price feast is amazing. You get some small sharable "dips" like hummus, babba ganush, roasted peppers, olives and a salad. Plenty of pitas to dip. Then comes some potatoes and some sausage. You get to pick your main course. I picked the sampler which had chicken kabobs, a filet kabob, lamb lollipop, and you also get dessert! You won't leave hungry that is for sure. All of the food was super fresh tasting and we'll prepared. The ice cream was topped with a sesame cotton candy. Definitely don't be shy going outside your own wheelhouse and ask questions. The owner explains all the dishes to you if you ask.

    The quality of the food makes an exceptional addition to the local restaurant reputation. You just go here to have dinner, but experience food beyond the local. This is the way food is celebrated, to enjoy a harmony of every ingredient dancing in one symphony of taste. The owner prides the home grown ingredients from his homeland. There is passion and life in each course.

    Small unassuming restaurant that is very nice inside. Also has outside seating when weather is better. Food was outstanding and I highly recommend the tasting menu for $55. You will leave packed to the brim with food and you get to taste so many different flavors. I got the mixed grill and my favorite was the Lamb, best I have had. For dessert definitely try the cotton candy with ice cream, delicious and unique. We will be back!

    Everything was excellent! The staff was very helpful and friendly with suggestions on what to order. We ended up getting the tasting menu (A Taste of Lebanon) and loved it. Will definitely be returning! Side note: definitely recommend trying the Ghazal Beirut desert and Turkish coffee after your meal!

    Just amazing. The food was all delicious, especially the Baba Ghannouj, Mouhamara, and lamb chops. Our server (who I believe was the owner) could not have been friendlier or more entertaining. He encouraged us to try things I wouldn’t have otherwise ordered and we loved. The place is BYOB and he stayed on top of keeping our glasses filled with the wine we brought. The other employees were also very helpful and attentive. The Turkish coffee is some of the best I have ever had, and the ghazal Beirut was the perfect light dessert to wrap up a frankly huge meal. The price is *ridiculously* good for what you get. The restaurant wasn’t super busy, and the space was really lovely as well. Really, really recommend.

    Li Beirut is a gem of a restaurant on Collings Avenue in Collingswood with convenient off street parking. The restaurant is charming with the open front porch with al fresco dining as an alternative to the light filled interior dining room. The cozy decor makes one feel they are dining at a friend's or relatives home, rather than a dining establishment. The owners, Tony and Patricia, are friendly and welcoming. Patricia is the chef de cuisine who lovingly prepares all of the Authentic, Lebanese cuisine. It is, flavor packed and so fresh, all homemade savory dishes, beautifully plated and presented and are a feast for your eyes and your palette..Tony is the host and runs the front of the house and charmingly greets each guest like long-lost friends. My guest and I tried one of the tasting menus, and it was absolutely delicious. Dessert was a sampling of Lebanese ice cream with a type of cotton candy strings on top, , a set custard made with lebne and tapioca starch with rosewater and two kinds of baklava--pistachio and almond. If you like Mediterranean food, you have to make this one of your new favorite restaurants, i would suggest you make a RSVP (the place was busy on a Sunday night) and be prepared to enjoy beautifully sourced and presented food in a sparkling clean, friendly atmosphere . BYOB. Update: Decided to come back for a 2nd visit! 2nd time was just a good as the first visit! Same great food, same gracious hosts. This is one of my new favorite places to dine.

    This was our second time here, first as a party of 4 and this time as a party of 2. We went on a weekend both times so got the Taste of Lebanon, which is a set menu, but each guest chooses an entree and dessert (everything is perfect for sharing). Believe me, it ends up being a lot of food with the mezza, salad, entree, dessert, side dishes that come along the way, and endless pita! Go with a party of 4 if you can because you'll get to try more things (2 more mezza, another salad, and 2 more entrees if you're sharing). We did the mixed grill which featured three meats and we got the branzino which is served whole. Desserts were fantastic - I just wish they offered the knafeh as an option for this menu. Service is great, very attentive. Pita and water never ran out. BYO. Overall, everything was amazing and rivals restaurants in the city offering similar cuisine. Will absolutely be back.

    This establishment is amazing at all they do. The food is delicious, served in a nice portion and made with fresh ingredients. It’s always a treat to eat here. You need to try the hummus, the Lebanese wings and the shish taouk which has a very citrusy marinade to it. If you are in the Collingswood area and are craving quality cuisine, this is the place to try!

    Great Authetic Lebanese Restaurant. All Lebanese Mezze taste extremely fresh and delicious. Main entrees also taste amazing. The place it self is clean and look great from the inside. I enjoyed my experience from the moment i went in to the moment i went out. Not to forget the dessert which also tastes extremly great. Good job

    Li Beirut is arguably one of the best restaurants in South Jersey. It is typically my first recommendation to friends and acquaintances if they are in the area. The fattoush is phenomenal. But the mouhamara and baba ghanoush are unparalleled. While I hope their dishes gain recognition for some awards or stars. I will continue to enjoy their food and spread the word.

    My wife and I came here tonight for a date night while visiting her family who lives locally. We love Mediterranean food and decided to check this place out. I will have to say I’ve been to a few Lebanon restaurants and none compared to the flavor my mouth tasted at this location. If you can’t make up your mind on which entree to pick. I would recommend doing the taste of Lebanon as it provides you with a salad, 7 or 9 appetizers/sides to company your main entree per person, and finish off with a variety of desserts. All for a very good price that compliments the amount of food you get in return. Also the service was superb! 5 out of 5. Great job y’all! I hope they plan to branch out and open up a secondary location. If so, please consider Fort Worth, Texas as it’s a up and coming city growing within the diversity in cuisines.

    Owner and staff are very friendly and welcoming. The tasting menu is so much food that you will definitely have leftovers! Get the ice cream for dessert, you won’t regret it. BYOB is always a plus.

    I cannot wait to go back to Li Beirut! After a long week as working parents, and shuffling kids to all the activities, hubs and I were excited to sneak out and try a new spot. We were craving mediterranean and WOW 🤩! There isn’t one thing that we didn’t love; from the warm welcome, our amazing server, the tasting menu that was phenomenal and the highlight… the ice cream 🍨. We’ve never experienced something that just tasted like perfection 🤌🏻 See you soon Li Beruit, we are forever customers now!

    I wish I could give this place more stars. The food is fresh, the service is top notch, and the location is perfect. This place is better than laserwolf and there are plenty of reservations. I highly recommend the tasting menu; I ordered the lamb chops and was not disappointed.

  • 5/5 ITALIAN S. 7 months ago on Google
    We had an incredible culinary experience, we felt like we traveled to the Middle East, the flavors and quality of the food transport you completely to Lebanon, and to top it off, the rosewater ice cream was spectacular. Grateful for the owner's attention, we will return!!!

    Absolutely gem of a place - from the food to the atmosphere, and especially to the friendly and family like service. The owner treats us like family as soon as we walk in every time. Could not recommend this place enough!! One of my favorite restaurants ever.

    This is hands down the best meal I’ve had in a long time. We had the tasting menu and there wasn’t one item that wasn’t out of this world. The staff is fantastic. We will definitely be back !

  • 4/5 Avni G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great local place for Middle Eastern food, friendly atmosphere, okay prices, they should be a bit lower. The portions for the desserts were extremely extremely small, that was not enough, that was not fair.

  • 5/5 Allison H. 1 year ago on Google
    Truly one of the best meals (inside & outside of a restaurant) that I have had in YEARS. We did the tasting menu & was amazed that so much flavor could be packed per square inch. 10000% would come back for the food alone. The icing on the most delicious cake was that the waiter (and I believe) owner was so sweet & helpful. It is clear this restaurant is a labor of love. I wish every restaurant was modeled off of this one. Stop obsessing over reviews & just go. It’s worth every single penny.

  • 5/5 Ken M. 1 year ago on Google
    WOW! That's what I've got to say about this place. What a selection of Lebanese food and all were delicious! Served family style with an individual entree and dessert selection for each of us. Staff were timely, explained all the dishes and didn't rush us at all in the over 2 hours we were there. Looking forward to returning!

  • 3/5 Eva S. 1 year ago on Google
    The appetizers were phenomenal. I wish the entre would have been the same. Had the mix grill. The beef chuncks were well flavored, the chicken pieces were very dry, almost rubbery. The lamb chop was dry and charred, flavorless. The ice cream was absolutely delicious. The younger servers were ok at best, the older gentleman only spoke to one person at our table and completely ignored the rest of the table as if we were invisible. Definitely not impressed. I doubt we will ever return.
