    Craved kebab and stoped at Rawabina for Sunday lunch. I’d say the dishes are reasonably priced, but quality and serving are somewhat questionable for me. I ordered a lamb kebab, which the menu indicates is served with pita bread. I had expected this to be a complete meal (protein, carb, veggies) but it took me a while to find the pita bread on the plate. It was literally 1 thin triangle hidden under the kebab at the bottom of the plate. This meant I needed to order bread separately. I’m sure it didn’t cost much (I’ll get to that later), but it would’ve been good to know this from the start. The lamb kebab itself was nothing special. It’s 4 thin pieces of meat that tasted like kebab, but didn’t seem freshly prepared. It was tougher than I expected and the grilled eggplant that came with it looked sad. The icing on the cake was when I asked for the check and was given a piece of paper that had THB529 written on it and nothing else. No breakdown of what we’d ordered and even when I asked where it was, the server just smiled and pointed to the attached QR code. I did check with one of the other staff members and she said that they ALWAYS give a proper check with everything a customer ordered. So, that’s that.

    When I came to Bangkok, I saw a new restaurant on the way the most frequently, so I went there. It is a Lebanese restaurant. I had to study the menu for a long time. There were many kinds of menus and they all looked similar. After all, the menu I chose was a lamb combo, which came with a salad and a strange jam-like thing. I ordered bread because I heard that it is to spread on bread. I think the taste of the ingredients themselves is important in food, but the sauce is also very important. In a good way, it is not stimulating, and in a bad way, the food has no special taste and is all bland, and even the sauce is not unique. The food tastes nothing like it looks. And crucially, when calculated, 10% of the service charge and 7% of the tax are added. This alone is about 100 baht. Usually, separate service charges and taxes are imposed on hotels and luxury restaurants. However, in this shabby restaurant, not just one, but two separate things are added. Hard to believe. Even if I try to think positively, it's hard to understand. This restaurant is likely to disappear soon unless the price is seriously adjusted. To be honest, even if I pay only 10% of what I ate today and eat the same food, I don't think it will be easy to agree. There is a reason why there are no customers.

    Came here on a trip to Bangkok, food and service excellent, convenient location close to my hotel. I had the Kofte Kebab accompanied by Moutabel and Traditional Arabic Salad. Came back here twice in March 2023, on both visits the food was excellent and with friendly service. Just one thing I noted, now on the bill there seems to be a 10% service charge added. In most cases this is where a business owner just wants to make an extra 10% for nothing really because this extra 10% does not go to the staff who provided the service. Rather this practice discourages customers from leaving a tip for the staff because they have already been charged 10% extra in the bill....

    3 out of 5 for overall impression, food is average, not bad, but definitely there are better options for Lebanese food around Bangkok. Amount of chickpeas in our hummus compared to images in the menu was grotesque. Feta salad dressing was overwhelmingly dominated by bottled lemon juice. Deducted one star from 3 to 2 due to a fact they charged us tax and service despite nothing was mentioned about it in their own menu.

    Great Lebanese food!! Friendly staff and owner. They brought me out a veggie with hummus and two other sauces to begin. Then I had the mix plate, spicy potato appetizer and a lemonade which came with shaved ice. So good! Best of all my appetite is full and satisfied. Thanks for the service 🙏

    Having lived in the Middle East for 5 years, it’s always a pleasure to find food of similar quality in Bangkok. The chicken was tender and juicy, the kibbeh fresh and hot. If you need a good Arabic food-fix I recommend you come here. The owner is also a friendly person. PS the desserts are also very good. 😀

    Extensive Lebanese menu, with very good Lebanese vegetarian options. Wanted falafel, tabbouleh and lentil soup. The falafel wrap was good, the tabbouleh very good and the lentil soup exquisite. Nice owner and good service. Indoor dining room and separate cocktail bar too.

    Great Lebanese food, nice owner and staff. I had Biryani meat(lamb), Arabic salad, two shawarma lamb wrap and two beers. Total appx. 1,200 baht. The biryani meat was good but it would have been better if they cooked the lamb with the rice together as they do it back in Lebanon (tasted like rice was cooked first and then the lamb was put on top of it afterwards). Arabic salad was the same taste I remember when I used to travel to the Levant region. Overall the food was great and I would like to visit again and try the other foods which also looked so good.

    Faisal is THE MAN when it comes to Arabic foods. If you get a chance to watch him in his element, you can see his dedication and passion in bringing out the best tasting Arabic food for you.

    There are many types of Hummus. Falafel is tasty. I want to try biryānī next time. Here is one of my best restaurant in BKK:)

  • 5/5 Zak Z. 1 year ago on Google
    I am usually not a big fan of Falafel as the ones in Sweden (my home country) are usually dry and not tasty at all. I decided to try the Falafel in Rawabina, and I got to say it is the best I've had. It's so tasty and juicy. I also had the lamb shawarma, hummus and mottabal which were all delicious. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to have a taste of authentic middle eastern food. Service is also good!

    Understated DELICIOUS Lebanese food at a tucked away hole-in-the-wall establishment. Best falafel I ever bit into. Everything we had was so tasty. Waiter recommended the spinach cheese spring roll thingies and promised us “it will be beautiful, trust me” and he delivered. Trust me.

    Not too expensive and the food is really good. Perfectly cooked and service is kind and fast.

    Good, inexpensive Lebanese food. Friendly owner who originally came from Syria always make sure the food is up to standard.

    Great food, excellent host. Place is small and nothing fancy, but food and service overcomes it. Reasonable prices.

    I first came across this restaurant when it opened in 2017-2018 (I think), and I've been a regular customer of this place since then. Wonderful food, wonderful service, and wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommend it!

    Tasty BBQ and biryani dishes. Staff is attentive and friendly. The owner also gave us some free pastries while we were waiting for the rain to subside. Would definitely come back again
