😐 Absolutely awesome food! I am a regular for so many years (hence this review). Then.. they have their bird pets and sometimes the birds would come to my table and got the food from my plate. Pity that when it happened the owner did not even offer to replace the meal OR simply apologise. Everyone is... People often mention good, great, delicious, hummus, owner, restaurant, Chiang, service, chicken, staff,

    Absolutely awesome food! I am a regular for so many years (hence this review). Then.. they have their bird pets and sometimes the birds would come to my table and got the food from my plate. Pity that when it happened the owner did not even offer to replace the meal OR simply apologise. Everyone is free to have their own pets but when it comes to shared space, especially as a restaurant owner, I think there is a need to be very careful about that. It really makes me not wanting to go back to the restaurant anymore. I hope they would be more mindful about their pets in the future.

    Very tasty and flavourful food. We came as a party of 3, all vegetarian and they have plenty of options. Have come back a few times since and always satisfied.

    Pretty decent food if you are in search of a little middle eastern flare. I got a chicken Kebab, hummus, water, and Nan for 320B. The hummus was great. I am more of a fan of meals that are less than 200B - but hey, it is what it is.

    Basel is a great chef! We had the honour to seat and talk to him and meet his wife Jean. The food was one of our best experiences in Chiang mai. Lovely hospitality and excellent flavours. Thank you!

    I am thrilled with my third visit! Last night's grilled fish was a flavor explosion – a delightful twist on Thai seafood soup. While not spicy, the rich spices made it a culinary delight. Any dish here guarantees satisfaction. Easily one of my top 20 go-to spots in Chiang Mai!What makes it even better? Its prime location in the Night Bazaar, surrounded by vibrant shopping, captivating art, and soulful music. The atmosphere complements the culinary experience, making it a perfect spot to indulge in both fantastic food and the local culture.

    Surprisingly affordable Middle Eastern food in the middle of the tourist Night Bazaar market. Recommend the meat or falafel (or both!) sets. My pick for the best hummus in Chiang Mai.

    I ordered Chicken Shawarma plate probably more than 20 times and was always great. But seems like they changed the serving size and quality. Today received about 50% of the usual amount of chicken and it was dry

    A place with delicious guarantee. Everything here is a BINGO. The grilled chicken, kebab, vegetables stew and Tabuleh are delicious, high quality and of a great portions. Drinks are good as well. A place I get back to over and over in the past and for sure in the future.

    (Translated by Google) Middle Eastern food I ate for the first time. 🇱🇧 It's full of vegetables and is kind to your body. It was delicious enough to definitely go if I was in the neighborhood 😋 Especially the garlic sauce was ridiculous ~ 🧄 (Original) 初めて食べた中東料理。🇱🇧 野菜盛り盛りで身体に優しいですね。 近所にあったら確実に通うぐらい美味しかったです😋 特にガーリックソースがやばかった〜🧄

    Went there and got this potato stew and extra bread for about 100Baht. It was delicious but I ordered it “not spicy at all” because I was sick, when it came it nearly burned my mouth. It wasn’t what I wanted at all. I can still recommend going there but be clear what you want when ordering.

    Good cooking here. Everything done well. Never had mint lemonade like this before which was great if you like sharp flavours like me.

  • 5/5 CL W. 4 years ago on Google
    Restaurant is located inside the market. We ordered promotion set menu #2. Filling for two people and reasonable price. Also of course delicious. Had even two different types of hummus.

  • 4/5 Gregor A. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good Grill, salads, and stew. Wish you didn't use Styrofoam packaging. I'd order alot more often.

  • 5/5 Avi R. 1 year ago on Google
    The best mediterranean food I had in Thailand! Delicious food, great service, good prices. Strongly recommended! The owner is a warm lovely Egyptian man, he is there every evening, he is always happy to explain and advise.

    Moved to Chiang Mai since February. It was so hard to find the mediteranean restaurant that close to the one we always went in Bangkok until I came across here. Food was pretty good. They even have baklava!! Which is pretty rare to find in Chiang Mai. I'd definitely come back here again soon.

  • 5/5 Mawaew P. 2 years ago on Google
    This is easily on top of my favorite list across categories! We ordered mix grill set for 2 and it was perfect especially the eggplant hummus. The grills were rich in aroma with taste and texture just right. Food is amazing and hospitality is great. A homey vibe, a hidden gem. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Scott P. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is awesome! They have Thai food, but the best tip here is the Lebanese food (owner is Lebanese). It is really good & a great change from local food if you are visiting. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Ant B. 2 years ago on Google
    Have been ordering here for a while through TUK. Thanks for the lovely meals. I’ve missed middle eastern food and this place has the best in Chiangmai Mai.This place has the most gorgeous char grilled meat. The platters with tabouli and homous are awesome as is the chicken veg soup. Everything we’ve had has been good but the tekkah meat is to die for.

  • 5/5 Yani B. 1 year ago on Google
    Extremely warm and friendly service by one of the staff,. Basem. He patiently explained the food items to us and even recommended some dishes. The mint tea was superb - freshly made with fresh mint leaves! The food was freshly prepared. The fish was fresh and soft and cooked well. The tom yum soup was extremely tasty - tantalising our taste buds! If you need down-to-eart Halal Thai or Lebanese food, drop by to this place. You'll feel very much at home, thanks to Basem! P/S: We went there twice!

  • 4/5 Anton B. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food, nice service but I ordered "Set 2" and got Set 2 + one extra plate of Baba Ghanoush. Never did I mention Baba Ghana so I have no idea how it showed up on my order. Of course I wondered why there was an extra plate of it on my table but given the clarity and brevity of my order I assumed there couldn't be any misunderstanding. Anyway, I ended up taking the rest home and paid for it - it will be a good breakfast tomorrow.

    Biryani Rice 100 bhat only, Quality and Quantity both matters. Enough for two people.

  • 5/5 Ali G. 1 year ago on Google
    Had the mixed sharing platter with hummus, salad and bread as appetizer, it was huge and actually better than the main course. Highly recommended for that alone. Vegetable stew afterwards was fine, but a bit on the sweet side for me. Meat dish eaten by partner was good according to her. I'll be back.

  • 5/5 Pavel K. 1 year ago on Google
    The best mandi lamb I've tried so far. Portion is huge, at oeast for 2 people. The service is very friendly. I'm a fan of this place. Highly recommend it.

    It’s in the night market, we ordered too much and could not finish it. But its a nice place for you to try Lebanese/ Arabic food with good services

  • 5/5 Tom 7 months ago on Google
    Friendly owner who helped recommend a suitable amount of food between me and a friend. Even going so far as to make sure we did not over order. The platter was amazing. Lamb was delicious, pitas and hummus were also great.

  • 5/5 D N. 1 year ago on Google
    This lovingly, family operated, Halal Middle Eastern Gulf restaurant (tucked away in a corner of the Anusarn Night Bazaar Market) has exceptionally fresh, fried Snapper (its huge, enough for 2+), coupled with their wonderful biryani, baba ghanoosh, lavash, perhaps some of their exquisite humus, drizzled with sumptuous olive oil…!!! Their menu is immersive… Try one of their refreshing Mango-Pineapple Lassi’s! OMG!!! Basil, the executive chef, is so creatively consistent in the kitchen, while Basiem, who’s your gracious host, take’s care of all of your need’s and wishes, making you truly feel like family. Not sure what to order? Just ask Basiem! We’ve been dining here, almost 8 years, and never once have we’ve been disappointed. They also feature exquisitely prepared Halal Thai food, as well, with absolutely amazing Tom Yum Goong, SomTum, etc… Everyone is happy! Enjoy!

    Chiang Mai: tried the rice Mandi with chicken. Fresh rice and the chicken soup is very delicious.

  • 5/5 Rick S. 5 months ago on Google
    Great Mediterranean food. Reasonable prices. Don't miss the mixed grill

  • 3/5 M C. 4 months ago on Google
    Food is great but you better check your bill total against the listed prices on the menu. Been here a few times and two of the times the guy added a couple of hundred baht to the bill and then claimed it was an honest mistake when I called him out on it. He also makes a big deal about giving you free bread, but imagine ordering a hummus and you get it with no pita 😂 Huge fan of the flavour of the food though - just be wary.

    We had our lunch in this Arabic resturant and it was as per our expectation strating from the delicious arabic food, salads, hosbitality service and the kindness of Mr.Basel and Mr. Basem. If you in Chiang Mai and you are looking for Arabic resturant I believe you should try The Gulf Resturant. Thank you and we will visit you again ✌️

    Great place tucked in a corner of Anusarn market. Welcoming host Basil is all smiles. Delicious food - hot flat breads to scoop up an amazing Babaganoush, creamy hummus & crunchy falafel. Good salads, grilled chicken with garlic mayo. Excellent middle eastern menu. Very good all round!

  • 4/5 Paul O. 5 years ago on Google
    The Gulf restaurant is int the night bazaar complex. It is clean inside and out. The menu has good choices of Lebanese & Thai foods. The Chef owner welcomed us & made a helpful suggestion. The staff can speak English & Thai. The hummus, baba ghanoush were delicious. The bread was beautiful & a real treat with the skewered meat. I enjoyed the tabouli. The pricing is reasonable. Well worth a visit.

  • 5/5 รานา �. 3 years ago on Google
    Delicious food, arab, libanese and gulf specialties. The owner Bassel is a very welcoming and kind person. I can't recommend this restaurant enough bc of the taste, the friendly service, affordable prices and a beautiful location, in the night bazarr area, which invites you to do a little shopping tour. Go and get that food you won't be disappointed 😋

  • 5/5 Antoine m. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent Lebanese cuisine. I read the low scoring reviews, but the high scoring won me over. Ate Lamb Stew and Lamb Biryani, and both were delicious. I ordered 3 bread, but the waitress said 2 would be enough. I could only finish 1, big and great for soaking up the stew. Free salad provided. No beer, but you can bring glasses (no bottles) from O'Malleys next door. Extremely pleasant staff, and a great eat.

    Seriously the best restaurant in CM! Took my whole family here when they visited me from America and they absolutely loved it. The hummus and baba ganoush is soo good and the meats are sooo flavorable. My bf and I probably eat/order out from here like once a week because it’s that good!

    This was my first time visiting. The premises has a fun lunch vibe and is very clean inside and out. I was immediately greeted and seated by an attractive and helpful staff. You can get with regular or grass bison, turkey, chicken, veggie or fish. The first all the way to the last bite was delicious. You can also enjoy relax while you are eating or drinking at the desk. Gulf restaurant should be no.1 on your list of places to eat at CM.
