    Flavor wise this is a nice place, also good service and ambiance. I didn’t like the way their menu works though. The mezze are what’s mainly advertised but they’re misleading and not worth ordering, since the portions of each dish within it are smaller than when ordering individually, so it appears you’d be getting a good deal but it’s actually better to order your 3-5 preferred dishes for two people than the two people mezze.

    We had an awful experience at this place, Got (very!!) small things (called meals). I never had such a thing in a resturant. If you are looking for an authentic arabic food place, stay away from here. I wish I took a picture of the meal. 3 falafel pieces for 4 people is not realistic..

    We were there for dinner and tried the menu for 2. The food was good and tasty. The restaurant is small and even if it was Monday it was quite crowded (so better to do reservation) The only “but” is that the service was very slow. The waiter took almost 20 minutes to take the order. In his defence I have to say that he was alone doing everything (waiter/doing drinks/ receiving payments for more than 15 tables) with a “full restaurant” he really need more help!

    Went there for a Lebanese craving. Took the large sharing menu plate. The classics are really good houmous and kefta and sausages were amazing. You can also order each plate separately tapas style. Staff super friendly and cool atmosphere.

    On a road trip in France, we stopped in Lyon. We are very picky about Lebanese food, and found this place recommended online. We can in for lunch on a Saturday, ordered 7 mezzes (appetizers) and they were incredibly good! Cute presentation as well. I personally recommend you try the kafta, taouk and the rikakat jibné, at the least. The falafel was the best I've had in a while as well. Will definitely check it out again next time in Lyon!

  • 4/5 al s. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very nice an idea like that one morning ... and if we ate Lebanese, we love this cuisine and we know these dishes very well to eat them very often and make them at home. In short after the meal we are not disappointed it is very well done, menu not very wide in terms of choice but we go to the basics. So take the lead for a little Lebanese break go without reservation, you will not be disappointed if you are a regular and a nice first immersion if it is the first time. (Original) Très sympa une idée comme ça un matin ...et si on mangeais libanais ,on adore cette cuisine et on connait très bien ces mets pour en manger très souvent et en faire à la maison. Bref après le repas nous ne sommes pas déçu c est très bien fait ,carte pas très large en terme de choix mais on va à l essentiel. Donc vous prenez pas la tête pour une petite pause libanaise allez y sans réserve, vous ne serez pas déçus si vous êtes un habitué et une belle première immersion si c est la première fois.

  • 1/5 clarisse p. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) What a pity and what a disappointment, it seems that we have lost the AKLÉ. It was, however, one of the best spots in Lyon, tasty, warm and all priced more than very honestly. And then, Patatras, all these sparkling lights went out in one fell swoop: A lot of mezzes absent on an already minimalist menu, same for wines, already, we wonder… Then comes the time to the order, and there, another very bad surprise, the person in charge of the service does not take orders in the order of arrival of the customers. (I note that we had previously booked and that the same person had advised us to arrive before 1 p.m. when the kitchens closed) We breathe calmly, the restaurant is almost empty when we arrive, we still hope to be served within an acceptable timeframe . After 1h15 of an endless wait, without a kind word or gesture to wait, we decide to take our clicks and our slaps. Ultimate shock: We note that in the first room, all the people, however arrived after us, were served. A question arises: The AKLÉ team has just split in two in order to open a second small estanco 2 steps away: It would seem that wanting to run several hares at the same time, we risk not kill none. (Original) Quel dommage et quelle déception, il semble bien que nous ayons perdu l’AKLÉ. Il s’agissait pourtant de l’un des meilleurs spots de Lyon, goûtu, chaleureux et tout cela tarifé plus que très honnêtement. Et puis voilà, Patatras, toutes ces scintillantes lumières se sont éteintes d’un coup d’un seul : Pas mal de mezzes absents sur une carte déjà minimaliste, pareil pour les vins, déjà, on s’interroge… Puis vient le temps de la commande, et là, nouvelle très mauvaise surprise, la personne chargée du service ne prend pas les commandes dans l’ordre d’arrivée des clients. (Je note que nous avions préalablement réservé et que cette même personne nous avait conseillé d’arriver avant 13h, heure de fermeture des cuisines) Nous respirons calmement, le resto étant quasi vide à notre arrivée, nous espérons encore être servies dans des délais acceptables. Après 1h15 d’une attente interminable, sans petit mot aimable ou geste pour patienter, nous décidons de prendre nos cliques et nos claques. Choc ultime : Nous constatons que dans la première salle, toutes les personnes, cependant arrivées après nous, ont été servies. Une question se pose : L’équipe d’AKLÉ vient de se scinder en deux afin d’ouvrir un deuxième petit estanco à 2 pas de là : Il semblerait bien qu’à vouloir courir plusieurs lièvres à la fois, on risque de n’en tuer aucun.

  • 5/5 Emil F. 6 years ago on Google
    So happy with our visit! We bumbled in right around opening time not knowing a word of French and the waiter and chef patiently explained the menu to us and made us feel right at home! My friend was a bit dubious about Lebanese food due to some less than stellar experiences, but this restaurant really showed her how incredibly tasty it can be. Thank you for a lovely evening :)

    (Translated by Google) An address that I wanted to test for a long time, and I am not disappointed! The room is nicely decorated, the menu is simple but everything makes you want it. In the evening, a menu at 20 € with 4 mezzés of your choice (hot or cold) is offered. The service is efficient and pleasant. We were a little afraid of being hungry when we saw the relatively small quantities, but in fact, I even had a hard time finishing, that's more than enough! Everything was excellent, fresh, and very tasty. An excellent overview of Lebanese cuisine. (Original) Une adresse que je voulais tester depuis longtemps, et je ne suis pas déçue ! La salle est joliment décorée, la carte est simple mais tout donne très envie. Le soir, un menu à 20€ avec 4 mezzés au choix (chauds ou froids) est proposé. Le service est efficace et agréable. Nous avons un peu eu peur d'avoir faim quand nous avons vu les quantités relativement petites, mais en fait, j'ai même eu du mal à finir, ça suffit largement ! Tout était excellent, frais, et très goûteux. Un excellent aperçu de la cuisine libanaise.

    (Translated by Google) For the organization of my birthday, we ordered from the site for our 22 guests. We wanted southern cuisine for a warm July evening. We wanted to avoid the classic quiche or aperitif pizza and we found that Lebanese cuisine would be perfect for a change! When the order was placed we were called back and the manager was lovely. The packaging of the small mezze was perfect for our buffet. They provided us with catering platters and all that at a great price. I highly recommend for a night out with friends or just an individual order. The dishes are fresh and everything was very very good !!! To be redone quickly !! (Original) Pour l’organisation de mon anniversaire, nous avons commandé sur le site pour nos 22 invités. Nous souhaitions une cuisine du sud pour une soirée chaude de juillet.

A l’issu de la commande nous avons été rappelés et la manager a été adorable. Le conditionnement des petits mezze étaient parfaits pour notre buffet. Ils nous ont fournis les plateaux traiteurs et tout ça avec une super qualité prix. Je recommande fortement pour une soirée entre ami ou juste une commande individuelle. Les plats sont frais et tout était très très bon!!! A refaire rapidement!!
