“A must try Lebanese food restaurant with a twist; especially if you have guests coming from abroad. No alcohol there; not a big issue You can drink in another place ;) Perfect service. Noisy environment.”

“Very good, very fast and professional service with even better food but it’s extremely smoky inside and not enough ventilation”

The best restaurant to visit in Beirut! Visited this restaurant last week with a few family members - needless to say this restaurant has gone above and beyond for the customers! The food was exquisite! The service was great! The cleanliness of this place was 👌🏻👌🏻. We were 5 adults - turned up without a booking (arrived at 3pm) and we were kindly given a table, but I recommend you book in advance - as it got super busy later on. The portions are very generous servings. We were a party of 5, we ordered multiple starters, and 2 mains - that was honestly sufficient for us! Every single item we ordered was flavourful and good to perfection. Highly recommend the BBQ mix and the Biryani Mawzi. You’re also treated to a great surprise as the end. Expect to spend $30-40 dollars per person (if you’re sharing a main) or $50-60 per person (if you’re ordering 1 starter + 1 main). I will definitely be coming back to this place.

Amaleen is honestly one of those places that just makes you feel good the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is warm and elegant without trying too hard, and you can tell care is put into every detail. The food is incredible fresh, flavorful, and comforting in the best way. Every dish feels well thought out, not just cooked to impress but to be enjoyed. The service is genuinely friendly and attentive, which makes the whole experience even better. It’s the kind of place you leave already thinking about when you’ll go back. Highly recommended.

Very nice restaurant with a wide selection of hot and cold appetizers. They started us off with a plate of carrots and two dips which were incredible but i couldn’t figure out what they were! I wish i had asked! We ordered the cherry kabab which i highly recommend, a mixed grill platter , fattoush, cheese rolls, batata harra and the kibbeh grape leaves which was a nice twist of both dishes and they served us complimentary fruits and dessert. Every dish we tried was amazing and the food presentation was beautiful. The only thing is the staff linger around the table and come to grab things even when you’re still not done eating which was a bit irritating because at some point it felt like we were being rushed out. And it would be really nice if they could start separating sections between smoking and non-smoking tables. I’m sure i’m not the only who doesn’t enjoy inhaling smoke from both cigarettes and argileh.

Amaleen is one of the best Lebanese restaurants I’ve been to. The food was exceptional - rich in flavor, generously portioned, and beautifully presented. Service was quick and highly professional, with friendly and attentive staff who made the experience even better. The setting is well-designed, offering a comfortable and welcoming dining environment. As a thoughtful touch, traditional Lebanese desserts were served at the end of the meal. A truly enjoyable and well-rounded experience.
