👍 Cute spot in town with their versión of lebanese food. The shared plate was definitely big enough for two people and the humus was awesome. The shwarma was very nice and a medium is a good size lunch. Our friend really liked the chef ;) People often mention shawarma, falafel,

    Excellent libanese food! It's affordable and has an amazing quality of the food! It's the best middle East restaurant we had in all Latin America! Totally recommended!

    Omg delicious 😋 Wonderful falafel, shawarma and middle Eastern food. A nice, healthy(ish) change from Colombian food. Fast friendly service. Recommended!

    The food tasted pretty good. Price and portion size are good. I ordered the chicken shawarma roll and the chicken had a lot of fat on it. Ended up spitting out about four pieces of chicken because they were just fat

    This was INCREDIBLE! the owner very kindly accommodated us even though it was quite late and the food arrived super quickly. The falafel salad was crunchy and soft, the baba ghanoush was smoky and the hummus was so smooth. The almond rice genuinely changed my life and it came to around 50k pp for a massive mezze and some delicious red wine. I’m still dreaming about this meal 😍😍😍😍😍

    My favorite Lebanese food in Colombia so far. I loved the babaganoosh. The yogurt drink was nice and refreshing too

    I had a really bad experience eating at this restaurant. The fajitas were overpriced and dry. The WORST part was the ATTITUDE the owner showed to customers. They have HIDDEN CHARGES (10% tax + 5% surcharge for paying with credit card) which they didn’t let the customer know beforehand. As a customer, I have all rights to ask why and what they are charging. Please NOTICE that the owner’s responses to customers who left negative feedback here are not very professional. The owner posted a comment that I found to be racially attacking in response to my feedback. However, he has since removed it.

    The food was pretty nice but the service was horrendous. Although the food was good, the waitress’ service alone takes my rating down to one star for how rude she was. She didn’t greet any of the customers or offer any menus and sat on her phone for the entirety of our time there. Not only were we waiting nearly an hour for one of our orders (as she got it wrong and didn’t even put it through), but we got charged for an extra portion of food that we didn’t even order. She’s easy to spot … very bored with red hair and glasses. If you want your business to thrive, I suggest you dismiss her.

    worst shawarma I have ever tried. 90% lettuce and 10% meat. no flavor

  • 5/5 IR E NIN E. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food, even better drinks. Only flaw is there is a lot of traffic, but thats of course that is nothing the owners can change.

  • 3/5 Marie Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Our Falafel dish was quite dry and tasteless but the worst of our experience was the communication with the waitress, she seemed like she was somewhere else with her mind, behaved sloppily & arrogantly

  • 4/5 Benjamin T. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious hummus and garlic pitta and a really great falafel salad with some lovely spices. Only minus was the aubergine was undercooked. Apart from that, great!

  • 5/5 Melissa H. 1 year ago on Google
    What are the chances you get an amazing Lebanese place in the middle of a small town on the Caribbean coast of South America? I got the falafel roll and the rice and both were excellent. Service was only fine but the food made up for it. I’ve talked to a lot of people too and they also loved it, highly recommend!

    Was good, but not extraordinary as the reviews might let you believe. Had better chicken in another place in Minca. But big portion, many choices, slightly overpriced.

  • 2/5 Veronika S. 2 years ago on Google
    We had shawarma (medium size) for 20000 COP (the price in the menunis 18, plus a tax). The shawarma was very small, thin and had just a tiniest amount of meat and some lettuce. We were not happy about the food. The taste was allright. Not amazing, not terrible. Save your taste for shawarma from Palomino, of you really want something delicious and worth the money.

    Waited for a falafel wrap for 45 min even though there were only 3 guys there before me. Wraps are served without any souce or tahini and are also very dry on the inside. Disappointed.

    The food was really nice at the time but I got food poisoning from the Chicken shawarma. We are pretty sure it was from this as one of the other people I was with who also had the same as me got food poisoning too :( be careful!

  • 4/5 Tess B. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was delicious (would give 5 stars) but the service was bad. We had to wait 90 minutes for our food which was cold when it finally arrived. We ordered 1 beer and after a while we wanted to order another one but no one was coming up to our table. After an hour I got up to ask for another beer at the bar and they acted annoyed. Also, stray dogs and cats were constantly getting in begging for food and some were agressive. I saw some other people being very scared but the staff did not do anything.

    Absolutely delicious Lebanese food in the center of Minca. The dishes were full of flavor and everything was cooked to perfection. Great service too - very attentive! Can’t wait to come back :)

👍 Ordered cheeseburger + fries (16k on happy hour) and Margarita - this was communicated as a 2 for 1 when infact it was a buy 1 get 1 half price (which was slightly annoying as i'd not budgeted for that and would have stuck to the mojitos which were COP10 on happy hour). The fries were awesome. The...

👍👍 This place was incredible! One of the best restaurants in minca if not Colombia. You can really tell they put a lot of effort into their food - it was amazing, and at such decent prices (under $15 each for an amazing grilled steak and bottle of wine to share). Highly recommend !!
