    We drove around 2 hours from Beirut but the place deserves such a ride. It’s a restaurant located over river near waterfall. It’s crowded on weekends and better to call to book a table with nice view. The food was amazing, mezza variety is huge, main course has 2 choices: grilled fish or chicken and meat, after-serving of fruits and Lebanese coffee. Despite crowds the waiters are attentive and very helpful. I really recommend this place but book it in advance!

    Lovely restaurant with pictiresque views of the waterfall. Only problem is the fact that you have to get the set menu and pay $20 per person if you want to sit by the waterfall. To get the normal menu you have to sit a bit far away from the waterfall. Service was great and staff was friendly. Food was delicious but the portions are quite small, especially for the 'on the grill' dishes. Would definitely recommend.

    Perfectly located on Al Zarka waterfalls. Very convenient for taking so many shoots while you are surrounded by the waterfalls. I had the lunch inside the indoor area which is in the upstairs to enjoy the view while eating. They provided so many kinds of appetizers 😁 then the main course. I tried the spicy potatoes (cubes), also the normal fries, kobeba, hummus salad, pickled carrots and olives, mashed potatoes, harissa, sambosk, beetroot salad, vine leaves and arayes. Then tried the grilled shish tawook and kofta. The portions were very good and the taste was really yummy.

    Pictures of waterfall is real but water is dirty with bad odor due to a couple falmingos there, food was fair but expensive, no plastic utensils. After food Fruits were bad and service as well. The streets to reach the restaurant is more than bad and eventually u will sit way far from the waterfall because of the crowds. Overrated.

    Great food and nice shisha. Restaurant location is also great next to the river. The main area next to the waterfalls is dedicated for $35 per person set menu and the lower area is for a la cart menu with reasonable prices.

    The food is awesome and everything was of high quality! Nevertheless, what fascinated me the most is the setup of the restaurant and the majestic natural beauty that the restaurant is built upon. I was absolutely astonished with the place and until this moment wish that I can relive the moments I had there!

    The place was good, not the best view in Lebanon but okay. Food was terrible and extremely overpirced, at the weekend it costs USD 35 per person. I don’t recommend eating there.

    The food is great at the blue waterfall. There was a wait to get a seat and didn't get a seat by the waterfall. There are two dining options a fixed menu for $35 per person or a la carte.

    First time in Shallalat Al Zarka and YOU have to go! This impressive restaurant has left the BEST impressions! Hospitable hosts, delicious dishes with the most amazing scenery of waterfalls. There’s a kids area with a lot of activities. I even had the chance to experience the cutest romantic boat on the river. The place is heaven on earth and I highly recommend to everyone! I would like to come back here again and again.

    Great food in an absolutely unforgettable setting. The staff were extremely attentive. In a country filled with many amazing restaurants, this is definitely worth the journey south of Beirut.

    I had a great time eating delicious food at your restaurant. The atmosphere was awesome and I definitely liked that you have a very modern style. Most importantly, every kind of food and drink on your menu tasted great!

    Amazing place! The food was awesome. Great service, lovely staff, and beautiful scenery ! Would definitely come back !! P.S. Make sure to try their cheese rolls, the best I’ve ever had so far!

  • 4/5 Mustafa A. 7 months ago on Google
    This place is awesome 🔴 Make sure to have a reservation to have a nice spot with a good view 🔴 The food worth the 5 stars! Its too far away and the road to get there is dangerous so just be careful when you drive up and down the hills The bad points are: The place was pricy (more then 35$ per person) 💵 Its far away from the city (but its worth it) The parking lot was 700,000 LL The guy who parked my car asked for tip!! Bees were flying around 😂

    Very nice place situated in the middle of the nature, great ambience and refreshing atmosphere, welcoming staff and helpful, polite waiters and friendly, wide variety of cold and hot mezza and a choice between bbq and fish, the service was a bit slow but the food was very delicious and fresh, they should work on the music for better ambience, highly recommended.

    Lovely waiters and service but unfortunately it was so busy and the food was very late to start and between courses. It took 2.5 hours! The waterfall Is lovely. Prettier at night but the place was so crowded we were squeezed in and it was a little disappointing based on instagram pictures.

    I think it’s the best place to have authentic Lebanese food with some of the best views in all of Lebanese. Affordable price, quality of food, and wonderful hospitality.
