Al Nafoura

Authentic Lebanese cuisine. Nice to have this as a break from the spicy Indonesia food. The lamb stew is very savoury and tender. Dessert is rather disappointing. Vibes are very Middle Eastern down to the plate. They have live performance with belly dance. But the background music can be quite loud during the live performance.

I visited Al Nafoura at Le Meridien Jakarta and ordered the Beirut Banquet – a great way to sample a wide range of authentic Lebanese flavours. Food: The banquet was beautifully presented and generous in portions. We had a full spread of hot and cold mezze, including creamy hummus, moutabbal, fresh tabbouleh, falafel, sambousek, and more. The mixed grill was perfectly cooked – juicy, smoky, and tender. Everything was fresh, well-balanced, and true to Lebanese taste. The baklava at the end was rich but not overly sweet. Service: The staff were welcoming and attentive. They explained each dish and made the whole dining experience feel special. Service was smooth and professional from start to finish. Atmosphere: Elegant, with traditional Middle Eastern décor, soft lighting, and a calm, classy vibe. Great for a special occasion or relaxed dinner. Value: The Beirut Banquet is on the higher end price-wise, but totally worth it for the quality, variety, and experience. Overall: A truly authentic Lebanese dining experience. The Beirut Banquet is a must-try if you want to taste a bit of everything. Fantastic food, warm hospitality, and a beautiful setting.

Was came here for dessert, and it was truly amazing. The best muhalabiyah I've ever had. The coffee and baklava were also excellent. The service was great, and the view was authentic inside

The food were incredibly good and delicious, every order from appetizers to main course to dessert were so delicious. We laughed so much and enjoyed our time to maximum celebrating our friend birthday. We reserved our table through the website and it was so easy. They followed up to confirm the booking. Chief all staff were so nice and friendly. It was the best arab food i tried internationally. (Note: we dined in at 8:30 pm so no belly dancer was there. It is better consider this as family.

Beautiful setting, but a disappointing experience overall. I debated whether to write this, but I think it’s important—for both potential diners and the restaurant’s management. Overall, I’m extremely disappointed. I wouldn’t mind the premium pricing if the quality, flavor, and portions reflected it—but they simply don’t. This restaurant has the opportunity to be something special, but right now, it falls flat. The atmosphere is genuinely nice. It’s a well-designed space that feels like it should host a great meal. Unfortunately, the food and service don’t rise to that level. The service is polite but inconsistent. For example, I was addressed by the wrong name despite making a reservation—an avoidable mistake that reflects a lack of attention to detail. As for the food: the shawarma sandwich can’t even compete with a low-grade Lebanese shawarma from a food stall in Bangkok, Bali, or Lebanon itself. The garlic sauce didn’t taste right—it lacked the bold, creamy punch it should have had. The lahme ajeen was completely off—not authentic, poorly seasoned, and frankly, unpleasant. The manakish uses the wrong cheese and ends up tasting nothing like it should. It all just feels like a caricature of Lebanese cuisine—something dressed up to look the part, but hollow and unconvincing underneath. I’m writing this as a sincere plea to the chef and management: take this seriously. Rethink the menu. Rethink the execution. Lebanese cuisine deserves better. Jakarta deserves better. This restaurant could be excellent—but right now, it’s all style and no substance.

Amazing 👏🏻 cannot describe how happy we were, well done al nafoura le meridien

Restaurant reviews in 🇮🇩 can be misleading, with great reviews not always reflecting the actual quality of the food. However, this is not the case here. I visited based on a friend's recommendation and was thoroughly impressed. We ordered the cold meze, cheese pizza for the kids, Zatir naan (which was decent), and the seafood platter. The staff was very well-trained and attentive, and I had a food comma after the desert.
