Beirut was such a surprise!
Located in a small plaza surrounded by lots of warehouses and corporate offices, Beirut will take you by surprise. Walk in to see a beautiful restaurant, but walk outside to find a large, very "vibey" waterfront terrace with lots of seating!
Beirut is beautifully decorated and really takes you to another world. The waterfront really makes it a gem.
Now, for food: we were given fresh, piping hot pita with tahini sauce, complimentary. Delish. Then we decided to order the vegetarian platter as a table appetizer. It came with three types of hummus, falafel, tabbouli, baba ghanoush, tahini sauce, and pitta. Everything was delicious! I really loved the variety of hummus; many new-to-me flavors.
For the main course, I ordered the chicken shawarma sandwich/pita wrap. It was a hefty wrap! Packed with chicken and veggies, I gave it a lot of tahini sauce and it was delicious. My fiance ordered the shawarma mixed plate which he thoroughly enjoyed as well; it was a very large serving too.
The food, service, and overall atmosphere were great. They do have hookah available as well; my only complaint is that halfway through our meal, a table sat down directly behind us and ordered hookah. We had very dense smoke blowing onto us for more than half of our meal and it was quite a bit unpleasant. Perhaps designating an area for hookah would be better.
Overall, 4.5/5 stars. Would definitely come back.
