    For any Middle Eastern food lover, this place is simply amazing. It's a Syrian restaurant with an authentic taste of Syrian cuisine. Anyone familiar with Lebanese food will be familiar with the food here. The meat platter we ordered for two persons was 1/2Kg for me this was the best to order including additional chicken wings. As I prefer eating it with bread I didn't order any rice or fries. The price was good too. I highly recommend this place to anyone. This place is family friendly also. I'll remember this place when I visit Brussels again. Thank you!

    Delicious and tasty arabian food. That's exactly how you will remember this restaurant. And if you are a meat lover and would like to eat BBQ, then this is the place to visit. Not just meat, they have fresh salads with plenty of flavors and taste. Even the fries here give a special taste. Just visit and experience yourself. You won't be disappointed. Staff is really good here and they prepare food in less time.

    The food was very authentic & delicious. As a Lebanese person, I confess I didn't expect this good quality of food. It felt as if it was brought directly from my area! They are also very generous and friendly. Highly recommended 👌🏻

    Came to have something that wasn't burgers and chips. The staff and food was great (chiken kabob and beef kabob). I don't know what the dessert was but it was light and delicious.

    Great service, great food. Our family of four ate for €65. Our server was very happy and friendly and explained the entire menu quickly and he was easy to understand. The 1/2kg family plate was enough for us to share + a salad, breads, vegetables, and sauces. Very important to us, the inside was very clean. Equally important is seeing the restaurant full of locals three days in a row. Highly recommended.

    Their meat platters are some of the best I’ve eaten and super value for money. You get good amounts of salad, rice, bread, meat and side dishes and one plate is more than enough for 2 people. I loved each item and would love to come back.

  • 5/5 catalina c. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Husain A. 1 year ago on Google
    Highly recommend, very delicious Mediterranean and Halal menu. We are a family and ordered 1 kg mixed grills, hummus, fattoush and falafel. Portion size for appetizer and salad is good for 2-3 persons. The service is very nice and welcoming. Just note if you are coming by car, parking will be an issue as the restaurant is in the central area of Brussels

  • 5/5 Mardi-Louise Van H. 5 years ago on Google
    We found this one of the few places open after 11pm that still serves food. The delicious aroma from the grill greeted us on the street, and coming inside was an experience! It is an informal, lively restaurant with large wooden tables and bright lighting, giving an atmosphere of a diner or fast food restaurant. The washroom facility is basic and clean. It is worth going just to see the magnificent grill and oven! Laden with sizzling meat and decorative engraved exterior it is quite spectacular. Service is attentive and prompt, even late at night when it was quite busy. A dizzying array of options are displayed on the board, or you can just select from the vast selection in the fresh counter. We had mezze including baba ghanoush, humous, roasted lamb, chicken and salad and every morsel was fresh and delicious! The coffee was rich and aromatic and the complimentary honey cake was a perfect ending to the meal. I would definitely recommend this place.

  • 5/5 mel 7 months ago on Google • 167 reviews
    - rakat €6 - rice €8 - salad €7 - batata harra €7 - 1kg mixed grill €35 absolutely delicious food! portions were very generous - we over-ordered so we didn't manage to finish everything but they kindly let us take it away so i reckon this much food could easily feed 5-6 people. they also provide complimentary bread of two varieties - one is plain and the other is filled with a spiced tomato spread. i would highly recommend ordered the salad alongside the grill bc it helps balance out the heavy meats. even though it is €7, it is a massive bowl and comes with lots of different vegetables so very good value of money!

    Food was very nice. And they gave a sweet dish after our food.

  • 5/5 Lezel A. 3 months ago on Google • 26 reviews New
    I REALLY enjoyed my meal here. I got the mixed kebab plate. The meat was soooooo juicy and tender, easy to bite right off it was so good. It had plenty salad and the pastes were all refreshing. It also came with a bunch of flat bread, some of which had a red spicy paste in it, it was amazing. I'm gonna eat here again, my fave meal I've had here so far

  • 5/5 Jane L. 8 months ago on Google
    Very good food, great service. They didn't speak English but they were still able to take our order and are very accommodating. Came here late last night for kebabs, came back today at lunch for the plates. Portion sizes are very good.

  • 5/5 Victor M. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent food and service! If could give them 6* ...love it!

  • 5/5 David I. 2 years ago on Google
    Received more than expected for dinner at this Syrian-Lebanese restaurant, at a modest price. We ordered mixed kebabs and the vegetable plate. Each came with 3 dips, salad served in lettuce cups, lots of green beans, and a basket of pita bread stuffed with a spicy sauce. The waiter also brought us an appetizer of pickles and a starter, and a coconut-pistachio flan as dessert. The restaurant was busy for a holiday Monday night around 7pm. We were seated at the table nearest the door, so we observed the steady stream of takeout orders. This seems to be a popular spot for families. Service was attentive. Post-pandemic protocols were in force, so inspection of our foreign vaccination certificates took a moment. This business is a great choice for visitors to the Boulevard Anspach shopping district, who don't want to go to a chain restaurant.

  • 5/5 Dimitri L. 5 years ago on Google
    Taste of Middle East in the heart of Brussels: i was surprised by the possibility to have delicious meat grilled on wooden charcoal! Quite a rarity nowadays. The full chicken is something to try. Of course, the menu offers many other middle eastern delicatessen including Kebba Meklié, hoummous bi lahmé, mint tea etc etc.. I loved most of them I must admit. The nice picture was completed by a welcoming environment, free wifi, a separate room for families with kids, reasonable prices and some kind and handsome middle eastern cooks and waiters! What to ask more? I will be back for sure :)

  • 5/5 Stoufa B. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Thomas J. 11 months ago on Google
    Sehr authentisches syrisches Imbiss-Restaurant mit ziemlichgroßerAuswahl. Abends kommen viele, um was mitzunehmen, und Gruppen junger Leute, weil das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmt. Die vegetarische Platte hat mir sehr gut geschmeckt. Und auch der orientalische Kuchen zum Nachtisch war sehr lecker.

  • 5/5 tankmodeler 1 year ago on Google
    Stopped here on a whim for supper and the food was amazing. Portions were quite respectable, too. We had kefta and chicken shish taouk platters and, really, that would have been enough, but wanted to try the cheese pie and the spicy potatoes and they were all excellent. The salads, baba ganoush and hummus that accompanied the platters were really good as well. Really good on all fronts. And the service was really good as well.

  • 5/5 Sue H. 8 months ago on Google
    Best Middle Eastern food that we’ve experienced in years. Amazing flavors, freshness and textures. Large serves and big variety on each plate. Fantastic dips, falafel and dolmades that were full of flavour, soft and melt in the mouth fresh. The roasted cauliflower on the vegetarian plate was to die for! Highly recommended if you’re in Brussels
