    Authentic place filled with locals enjoying "nargileh" and playing games. Very nice and delicious food, all kinds of mezze with balanced taste.

    I prefer this place for breakfast and late night bite. It can get noisy so make sure u are in the mood for that. The food is Lebanese with a small twist, taste is good and service level is acceptable.

    I tried it tonight , it should be rated 0 star , the place is old and dirty, the service is so slow and expensive, the food is ok but not near good , the shisha is beyond bad , its hot outside cool inside . Believe it or not the cold drinks are hot not cold . I will never visit again.

    An unusual restaurant in terms of size, layout and atmosphere. There are multiple rooms, balconies and open spaces filled with tables, sofas, ottomans and other furniture. It's not uncommon to find people around a table playing cards or backgammon and more people gathered around them watching the action. Good food and speedy service help make the experience even more pleasant.

    Great restaurant - long opening hours. WiFi available. Indoor and outdoor seating. No booking required. Parking outside. Can watch sports on screens inside and outdoors. Reasonable prices. Excellent menu options.

  • 3/5 Ziad I. 4 months ago on Google • 377 reviews
    Great cafe for a drink terrible food. The concept is great and a laid back cafe where you can hangout for a drink watch sports play backgammon cards or just hangout. However the food is well below mediocre. As always service is dependent on the waiter you get. Our waiter was indifferent and inattentive to the order and got things wrong and forgot others. Like many successful places the waiters start taking things for granted and have this “I cannot be bothered” attitude. Adding effusive words of welcome at the end of every phrase does not erase the bad service experience. So go for a drink and avoid the food.

  • 4/5 Sylvio H. 2 months ago on Google • 550 reviews New
    Famous lebanese restaurant / shisha lounge in Sodeco Beirut with a huge indoor and outdoor seating areas. The decoration / furniture is a bit old but service was good and atmosphere very laid back. The place is open till very late hours. Recommended for a gathering with friends who enjoy the shisha. The food was good but there are better alternatives nearby.

  • 5/5 Zéna D. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent food. Menu is extensive to a particularly high standard. Definitely fine dining. It can be expensive but worth it. the quality and tastes of everything was outstanding. Service was delightful and very professional. I have to say, I enjoyed every single second. the price is reasonable. Ideal for those who want a romantic night out. The food is always fantastic and no matter what I order I am always delighted with my order. Servers are also great and always efficient, happy and polite. Can’t wait to return and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone.

    It was good. We went at 2:30 in the morning after an amazing night at Music Hall. The food was good, the atmosphere was wonderful. The place is one of the oldest in Beirut, so it's really an experience if you can get there. The best time to go is around 2 am or later, it's really happening then.

  • 3/5 Wadad L. 1 year ago on Google
    I like the place but it is poor in decoration. furniture is more than simple but the good thing is that you can visit this cafe at any time. Nothing impressive about the food but maybe Chicha lovers will like such a place. Prices are a bit expensive if we take into consideration the style of decoration and furniture.

    The sea view was perfect, also the stuff as well, but food quality was not so good, small amount and not delicious. Nargila was not so bad, but the furniture were so bad and old. I am not recommending this restaurant

    (Translated by Google) An old and sweet place, a restaurant, and a café that talks about artists and old characters, and eat it very much. You should try it in more than one branch ..

👍👍 Nice place with an interesting food menu and great drinks. I tried La Madre and Esperanza, both were good. The pain perdu was soooo good. Had a ceviche for the first time: fresh fish, nice sauce. More attention from the waiters would have been appreciated though. Overall, it’s a must visit place!
