Great restaurant tucked away in the Suburbs away from the busy main roads. It is housed in a lovely period house. The food was very good and authentic Lebanese. Definitely worth a visit.

Great ambiance, and great service. The food is certainly above-average, but certainly not the best Lebanese food I have had. Moreover it is really over-priced, The drinks (we essentially had lemonade with mint --two glasses costing about $11) were ridiculously priced. Also the non-smoking section (which is where we were) is not immune from the smoke of the argeilas/hookas +... More

The family went to fakhr el-din for lunch on easter day. The seating was overcrowded which you would expect because its easter. The food is always great and tasty. But it was the worst service i've had in years of visits to this place. The waiter drops the bread on my back, the waiters also decide to interrupt private conversations... More

Had high expectations going here. I booked a table online; and this was confirmed. When I arrived, I was told that I was still on the waiting list. Some shuffling was done and I was told I could have a table for an hour. Service was very prompt but abrupt - no real interactions with waiting staff. They were far... More

We were a group of 10 people and booked well in advance, the experience was great, the maitre very helpful, probably the service a little hurried, even if attentive. The quality of the food really great. Great selection of meze, hot and cold.

Fantastic welcome on the way in. Very atmospheric, bustling with locals and visitors to the city. Service just a little hurried. Main course arrived as was finishing starter. All in all, a memorable dining experience and great value for money.
