  • 5/5 Albert Van den B. 10 months ago on Google • 266 reviews
    Always a great choice. The food has consistent quality over time and a large variety of appetizers, salads and main courses. Batata harra portion is huge, lentil soup is delicious, but my favorite item in their menu is tomato kibbeh. Welcoming outdoor terrace gives it a fresh and authentic vibe. The service was fast on my last visit.

    Great restaurant, very nice and cozy. Their salads and appetizers are amazing. The chicken shawerma can improve, not very different from the one you make at home. Red Tawook is amazing. Their waiters need to pay more attention also when the restaurant is busy. In brief, I still recommend this whenever you are in Hamra.

    Amazing lebanese food, the mezze are super fresh and delicious. We had tabbouleh, potatoes, hummus, labneh and tomato kibbe and they were delicious. Definitely recommend it if you’re in Hamra, Beirut.

    My go too restaurant in Lebanon. It’s been like 7 years that I know this restaurant and I can assure you that it’s the best restaurant in Beirut. Everything is perfect from the tabbouleh and fattouch to the mezza. My favorite mezza are batata harra, hommos and kebbé. Last but not least, the chawarma djej is so yummy and the msakhan is so good. If you want good lebanese food go to t marbouta 🤍

    The food is delicious, sincerely. We ate hummus and kebabs, lentil soup, felafel and liver cooked in pomegranate juice as well as different salads: all were tasty. The main problem is the smoke and shisha smell when you eat … suggest to allow smoking and shisha swapping only in the garden

    Hidden in the back of the mini mall. Go straight back past the Starbucks, and look for the last door on the left. It's next to an electronics shop and doesn't have a visible sign on the door. Great food and amazing vibes here.

    I have found this place by chance and it was very well hidden. They need a bigger sign so that more people can go to this lovely restaurant. It's so beautiful inside, books and music and great lebanese dishes.

  • 5/5 John Q. 2 years ago on Google
    First time here as ‘Johnny Foreigner’ with my Lebanese wife. You can always tell how good a restaurant is by the presence of lots of locals and, by Jove, they come in their droves. We sat outside which was covered and with thick cellophane side panels to keep out the cold. This is an inexpensive restaurant by Beirut standards although the food quality is top-notch. Positives: Great Lebanese food, efficient service, pleasant ambience with lots of students, academics and residents. Am fussy about my Kofte and my serving preference was indulged. The chef also takes his french fries VERY seriously - perfect! Tables sufficiently well-spaced outside to allay fears of catching the Coof. Highlight for me was the Kaak Hallawa (pictured below) - Lebanese bread filled with a sweet sesame paste. Perfect on a late and cold Friday afternoon. Negatives - little bit Smokey outside as we were fairly well enclosed due to the cool weather. Couch style seating a bit low for me as a hulking Anglo-Saxon. Summary: This is a conveniently-located restaurant in Hamra serving honest, delicious Lebanese food at reasonable prices. You won’t be disappointed.

    Decent tasting food , well prepared and decent portions. Only downside is the inexperienced waiters who had forgotten several items from our order. And even after being reminded forgot them again...

    Great choice of cold and hot mezze, at reasonable prices compared to other places. Good sized portions of salads. Friendly service too. Nice atmosphere. Be aware of high amount of smokers if seated outdoors (I don't like cigarette smoke).

    Best lebanese food ever, can't skip my visit to beirut without passing by the restaurant. The food is great. I usually order batata harra, taouk platter, fattoush, hommos, eggplant fatteh.

  • 5/5 Joshua K. 1 year ago on Google
    We had an exceptionally splendid evening at this restaurant! Everything we ate was scrumptious, although indeed in medium portions, super fast service which was also kind and generous. They have fairly good Internet here. Choose either the first or the second. The Wi-Fi password is 123456123456. The restroom was nice but I ended up throwing away a few towels and pushing down in the wastebasket to make it look Nice. I was still able to wash my hands with soap and water afterwards to get clean for my scrumptious dinner :-) we ate on a Thursday evening at about 6:45 PM and the place was packed. We ate outside and there were no mosquitoes and it was delightful on this October evening. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Peace, Joshua

    It is centrally located in Hamra, but a bit hidden. What I liked the most is that there is outdoor seating, which creates a quite corner in this bustling neughborhood. In addition, the service was friendly. The menu is extensive with a wide choiche of Lebanese and American food. Great atmosphere inside with a bookshelf and music. The prices are reasonable. I highly recommend this place.

    Small place quite difficult to find. It have an inside terrace which is very simple and sprouted by walls. Food was ok but not exceptional, I belive the place is a bit overrated. Yes the food is not bad but not exceptional, price is on the high side for the location and the quality

    A special place in the heart of hamra. The outside vibes are very fresh. Food is very good and service is fast with very affordable prices. The tomato kebbeh is a must try !

  • 3/5 Marguerita Abou A. 6 months ago on Google • 35 reviews
    After trying T marbouta recently i was a little disappointed. The food in itself was fine but used to be better; everything from batata harra to mtabal etc its was okay but not as good at it used to be

  • 4/5 Rabih A. 1 month ago on Google • 27 reviews New
    Nice place if you’re into Lebanese mezze in the heart of Beirut. A bit tricky to find for first-timers, but it never hurts to ask for directions ✌️🏻 The food was great, fresh and tasty. We tried the cauliflower and eggplant plate, it was very tasty. The kafta aarayis were a bit dry or overcooked. All in all its a nice restaurant, the staff are friendly and helpful and the place was clean most importantly.

  • 5/5 Çiğdem A. 3 months ago on Google • 24 reviews New
    A special place in the heart of Hamra. You can either enjoy your late lunch or have your dinner with drink. You can also check upcoming events in the city at the wall of T-Marbouta.

  • 4/5 Dabi A. 8 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    A bit tricky to find as the signs were in Arabic and I don’t speak/read Arabic(that’s on me not them). Great food, really good prices. The decor was really lovely as well. The staff seemed somewhat indifferent though, but not enough to deter me from recommending it or going back.

  • 2/5 Waël Y. 1 year ago on Google

    I ordered the daily dish (crispy fish) Delievery came fast and the food was hot The fish, fries, and sauce are very delicious. The portion is decent and the value for price is very good. I highly recommend daily dishes though i love their side dishes (batata harra and hummus)

    Amazing, Lebanese food :-) Affordable and polite stuff. Nice location!

  • 4/5 Saab S. 4 years ago on Google
    🔹Rating: 4/5 🔹Experience: A very nice and cozy space in the heart if hamra. Place is not exposed to hamra main street, so its not a noisy place, decoration is simple, outdoor area is nice. Staff was very friendly and helpful and service was very fast. 🔹Food: Menu is pure Lebanese, affordable and diverse. Quantities are quite enough. We ordered the following: -Fatouch; was good but rocca is not my favorite in fatouch. It gives a bitter taste and doesn’t suits it. -Shawarma lahme; tasted very good. Meat was tender and tasty. -Mixed grill: Tasted very good as well. But the meat quantity was too little. -Half grilled chicken: Was very tasty . Chicken was tender and still juicy. Experience was very good . Place is highly recommended. 👍👍👍👍

  • 5/5 Derek E. 1 year ago on Google
    Used to go to the old location, this location is much better specially the outside seating and atmosphere, forgot to order the kibbeh mloukeyeh which is a specialty but everything was on point except the chicken shawarma that lacked the spices and was more tawouk wedges the garlic dip made it up though, would recommend the hot potatoes, chicken liver, sojuk , hummus, makanek, was told they also have a good mosakhan which is a Palestinian dish but didn't try it, overall a must visit restaurant in Hamra

  • 1/5 Charbel A. 10 months ago on Google
    I am very disappointed. I have been a loyal costumer of T for quite a few years, not only eating most meals there but Introducing it to most of my friends and visitors. The restaurant has always been very busy, however, lately, the staff manners in welcoming and communicatng with costumers have been nothing but what can be described as rude and careless. No compassion for costumers, no warm greetings and no sign of hospitality, at least not good hospitality. It's a shame to see one of your favorite spots fall into the trap of arrogance and nonchalantly. A policy that only shows bad attitude and the lack of the community spirit that made the place what it is.

  • 5/5 Geriann D. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing food at great prices! Was pleasantly surprised to find my favorite Beirut cat inside the restaurant being cared for. The fact alone that they allow the cat inside makes this my favorite restaurant in Beirut❤ She sat next to me and got treats all throughout dinner. Will definitely be back for the great food and cat love on my next trip to Beirut!

    (Translated by Google) Lebanese restaurant very popular with locals. Very good atmosphere and good product quality. Reasonable prices. There is an interior courtyard with an outdoor dining area. It is a bit difficult to find because it is at the end of a shopping center (Original) Restaurant de cuina libanesa molt popular entre la gent local. Molt bon ambient i bona qualitat de producte. Preus raonables. Hi ha un pati interior amb menjador a l´aire lliure. Costa una mica de trobar doncs està al final del recinte d´un centre comercial
