Beirut Restaurant

This was a good option for some different food while we needed to stay in the area for a few hours. Authentic Lebanese in a no frills location/ atmosphere.

Our server was sweet although she had not had a number of the items on menu she was able to share what is frequently ordered & enjoyed.

We had a misstep with our order not expecting meat in the baked eggplant dish. That was on us for not asking questions.

The appetizers were delicious and next visit we will stick to small plates.

They made a solid Moscow Mule served appropriately in the copper mug.

Dessert was the only let down. I do not know what it was supposed to taste like but it was basically a shallow ramekin of whipped cream and some thin tasteless chewy substance on bottom.

Good experience, friendly staff and good quality food but lacked seasoning for me.

Overall, I thought the food here was ok. We ordered the Beirut Mezza for 2 so we can try a little bit of everything. The veggie dishes were better than the meat dishes in my option. The baba ghanoush was very smoky and delicious! The staff was very friendly and willing to explain each dish for us. The kabobs were juicy and I really like the veggies added with them too- I did wish there was more seasoning/flavor on them though.

For dessert we tried 3 different items and the baklava was the best of the 3.

The drinks here are good though- I had the strawberry mint mule and found it very refreshing.

I usually don't mind paying more for good food but I didn't feel like this place was worth the price. All in all, nice to have Lebanese cruise in MN!

Owner John Khoury is amazing. He arrange for a group of 30 to come and sample some of the best Lebanese Cuisine in the Twin Cities.

Beirut has a great vibe, family style dining with a staff that is really helpful if you are less familiar with this incredible food.

We had two salads, tabouli and classic Greek, hummus, eggplant, pita and falafel in an amazing sauce.

Our entrees were beef shawarma and chicken kebob on skewers with rice pilaf. The meats were tender and so flavorful, the rice is savory, the hummus and sauces were like you would get in a home.

Simply Amazing Beirut and special thanks to your staff for the hospitality!

Food was good, although the service was a bit slow for it being not very busy. The restaurant is fairly small. They do have a different menu for lunch and dinner so be aware of that if you're looking at the menu online. Plenty of parking spots outside the restaurant.

I had lamb and beef kebabs. Liked beef better than lamb meat that was little chewy. Rice was delicious

Absolutely delicious. Crispy falafel, fresh perfectly cool & refreshing fattoush salad & chicken kabobs languishing on a bed of nicely seasoned rice pilaf.

Attentive service & a pleasant atmosphere make this a winning restaurant to enjoy well-prepared food.

Nice restaurant inside, located near a bingo hall. The service was friendly and we otherwise had a nice time with the Labneh appetizer and the house salad. But when the meat came out things took a turn.

The gyro meat is unlike any I've had before, and not in a good way. It was dry and tasted as though the lamb was not fresh. I took one bite of gyro meat and couldn't do it.

I got the shawarma which came with a mint sauce. The flavor was fine? I wasn't wow'd.

I'd probably stick with chicken at this place, and the salad and appetizers.

Overall worth the visit. The falafel was fantastic and so was the fried cauliflower.
The lamb kebob is overall what brought down our rating - was pretty bland but with the sauce from the appetizers it was 10x better.
The gyro platter was fantastic but only because of the added sauce as well, otherwise would've been a little bland as well.

When I can keep to the plan, I write my reviews based on the food and this place is a winner. They make it easy.
I love the freshness, herbs, appetizers and the fries. Our party of 6 shared Baba Ghanouj, Kbaykeeb, and Zahret el-arnabeet. I absolutely loved all three, but especially the first two. I enjoyed the Lebanese Shawarma and my, oh my. I would order it all again just because it was so good, and I also wouldn't hesitate to explore other options because I have never disliked anything our party has ordered!

After the apps, I wasn't quite able to finish my large meal. No problem! Containers to-go (and not styrofoam). Amazingly, my Shawarma leftovers tasted fantastic cold right out of the fridge.

Our party was very happy with this experience, even after having traveled from Plymouth to get here!

Food is exceptional. The owners and staff do everything possible to make your experience a pleasant one.
