Parfums de Beyrouth

Mixed experience at this Lebanese restaurant. The lamb shawarma was disappointing - the meat was notably dry and lacked the juiciness you'd expect from properly prepared shawarma. On a more positive note, the Kabsa poulet (chicken with saffron rice) was quite good and well-seasoned. Unfortunately, the service was a significant issue - getting the waiters' attention was a constant struggle throughout the meal. The inattentive service combined with the hit-or-miss food quality makes it hard to recommend.

Terrible takeaway. Two orders of pitta bread missing and the fatoush salad was missing an ingredient and was a tiny portion. So we essentially had meat and small amount of salad to share. Nothing to go with the hummus we ordered. They did put in a soggy piece of pitta bread at the bottom of the tray carrying the meat though.

Amazing service and flavor. I recommend to you take a table and enjoy the full experience.

We went here for lunch last weekend and it was busy!!! As an Egyptian I was looking for authentic food. I initially wanted the kabsa with chicken but was advised that it was sold out. So I ordered the kofta plate, my partner got the mixed plate and we also had labneh. The kofta was great and authentic we loved it. The salad on the plate had a very small amount of torshi (pickles) thinly cut, I think it could have used a bit more. The labneh wasn’t as thick as it usually is, it seemed to be mixed with something. Our plates also had a falafel, it lacked greenery. This visit was bittersweet as it reminded me of home but I think it’s been adjusted to the European palate.

The food was delicious . The staff were very friendly. Highly recommend!

Nice food. The best kebab in Geneva.

Ive been there because the ratings were really good. To be honest, the food was not so good and the price was really really high for what I ordered (17€ without even a drink). I call that a scam because on the kebab next to it, the price was 14€ for the same quality and guys were much nicer

Good Lebanese restaurant in the middle of Genf City Friendly workers, good prices and super tasty food

Excellent Restaurant and they would call it a fast food restaurant as their sister restaurant is across the street and Grill is added to the name and much more expensive but I have to admit if we were in Geneva longer we would visit as they had some menu items that we really love. We ordered the mixed platter, one kibbie, and a small tabouli salad. The Kibbie was so good that we finished before we were able to take a picture...sorry. The Mixed Platter was great. It had chicken, lamb, kofta with a bit of labne, hummus, and a salad of lettuce, tomato and onion. The tabouli was beautiful and it also eaten almost completely before we got a picture. All of the food was some of the best Lebanese food we have had. Service was great. The atmosphere was hopping with lots of locals enjoying their Sunday lunch. No reservations taken. The place is large so if there is a wait it won't take long. Highly recommend.

Good Lebanese food in Geneva, Switzerland. Nice staff and the food is well prepared. Outside and indoor seating is available. Generous quantities of food.

Delicious food, perfect for a quick casual meal or to-go. I unfortunately can't really speak about the service because I ordered my food for pick-up but it seemed okay! Was very crowded and lively when I ordered, which was about 8-9pm at night; seems like a very popular spot among locals so I'm glad I was able to check it out! I ordered the chicken shawarma and it was so good, I inhaled it in minutes and immediately wanted a second. The pita was a little on the thinner side, which I liked, and the meat was juicy and perfectly seasoned. I ordered a side of fries and they were meh, a little dry and hard, but I still ate them. I wish I could have spent more time in Geneva just so I could have visited again and tried their plates! I love that they're open late! I was hungry after a full day of flying from SFO to ZRH to GVA, then traveling to my Airbnb, so I was starving. Parfums de Beyrouth was perfect since my food was prepared quickly, prices were reasonable, and I was able to order online. If you go late at night, I recommend walking with someone and walking on brightly lit roads -- it seems like the Paquis neighborhood gets a little sketchy at night time; nothing happened and I didn't expect anything to happen to me, but always better safe than sorry!

After reading all the yelp reviews I thought id check this place out. I was pretty disappointed with the dried out chicken and lamb of my mixed plate...it was like leather The kebob meat was good as was the hummus. The pita was fine Service was so so and i had to ask over for items I think there are many other places to get great middle eastern food that is not like shoe leather

Delicious, easy and fast, affordable. Mostly a fast and busy takeout business but we ate in tables on the street. That hummus and labneh are garlicky perfection. Pitas are the thinner variety but worked well with the food.

Great service and friendly server. Can order falafel in pieces. Falafel came in beautiful golden color w hummus. Also ordered lamb shawarma sandwich. Lamb was perfect tenderness and moist. Sandwich came within a bag. My hands did not get messy when I was eating it.

Love this eatery. I was introduced to this chaotic busy little restaurant many years ago by a dear friend. Back then it was just literally a counter with a couple of tables. However, they became so popular that they have expanded and now have plenty of seating. The food is consistently excellent, the staff have been there a long time and remember what you like so it only adds to your experience when you eat there. Not to mention that it is one of the least expensive places to grab a quick meal in Geneva. Took many family members there when they would visit and it was enjoyed by all. Go grab a falafel !!

Very very good falafel....loved the food and very reasonable price ! Cannot miss it in Geneva

The staff was really nice (I speak English and they were very accommodating). The food came out super fast and was very tasty. Also it is open late which is great.

Wonderful food! A warm welcome. This place was top! I loved the chicken shawarma it was tasty and flavorful without being heavy. The hummus was so great too!!

Wow! I could eat the vegetarian plate everyday of my life!! Highly recommended this place!

very good，yelp 不踩雷。肉质新鲜，蔬菜可口，酱味酸甜；服务到位，午餐时候食客络绎不绝，感觉是附近人的优选；并且份量还很足，价格感人，比昨晚吃的附近一家口味榜更合胃口。

Amazing food! I highly recommend if you need a change of pace for food. High quality and great service.

Delicious! Excellent Lebanese food in Geneva. Also, the service was spectacular. We tried the lamb kebab and the chicken. They were both extremely tasty.

Great food !! Was really crowded because it was in the evening so service was a bit slow Highly recommend

I've been here during two separate trips and am so glad I had found this place because MAN it is pricey to dine in Geneva! While it feels like a hole-in-the-wall establishment, it is conveniently located just a few blocks from the Cornavin train station. I don't think you can go wrong with any of their options, but both times I was there, I got the mixed Lebanese platter, which comes with chicken and lamb shawarma, adana kebab, falafel, hummus, pita, salad, and flavorful garnishes/sauces. Everything was tasty, and after having eaten so much bread, cheese, and chocolate throughout Switzerland, I was happy to taste some different flavors. The meats are tender and flavorful. The portions are generous, and for $17, this is a great value given the location. (The only reason I docked a star is because their pita kind of tastes like cardboard... otherwise, the food is amazing!) Something to keep in mind is that this place is very casual. It seems popular for both dining in and take-out. The dining area near the entrance feels a bit cramped, but they have an entire back dining room with more seating. I've dined in both times I've visited, but I think next time, I'll take a mixed platter to go and eat it somewhere among the countless beautiful public places Geneva has to offer!

While looking for our hotel, my boyfriend and I passed by Parfums de Beyrouth at around 7 pm on a Wednesday evening. The tables inside and outside were packed, and there was a line inside for takeout. That's usually a good sign. A quick Yelp search confirmed this so we decided to come here for dinner after we dropped off our stuff at the hotel (conveniently located a block away at ibis) At 9 pm, it was still pretty busy. We were able to nab one of the last tables outside, and decided what to order fairly quickly. I went with the mixed platter, which came with a little bit of everything - lamb adana (or gyro?), salad, pita, and hummus. And that's not everything - that's just all I can remember. It was a nice variety. I ate everything. Plus at 17 CHF for all of that food, it was a great value for Switzerland. If you ever find yourself in Geneva looking for a place to eat, this is it. Also open late (until 2 am, I believe)!

You could so easily walk by this unassuming little place and not know what you are missing. But if you happen to stop here you will be amazed. Simple delicious food that is hot and fresh. The falefel and schwarma are perfection. A true gem.

This became my "go to" restaurant in Geneva because it was reliably good and nicely priced. I had grown weary of food "adventures" that more often than not turned out to be overpriced and mediocre. Here, what you see is what you get: Decent Mediterranean food, served fast, in a super casual environment. Pros: - A full meal (example: chicken, lamb, or mixed shwarma plate including pita, salad, and hummus) for $17 CH francs. Add a can of soda and you have a decent dinner for $20 CH francs. That's not easy to accomplish in Geneva. - Food is consistent and fresh. - Service is helpful. Cons: - The menu is rather limited. - The location is adjacent to a seedy area, though it's fine during daylight. - This is not the place for a fancy occasion but it is good for families and those looking for a quick, casual meal.

Amazing meat, everything came out so quickly. The hummus is fantastic, everything is fresh and everyone is friendly. Highly recommend.. very reasonable$ (for Geneva, hahaha)

Close proximity to the hotel I'm staying at. Lively atmosphere even though it was late at night. My bro ordered a wrap and I ordered an appetizer and we both enjoyed it the food. Overall a good place to try out.

This place is awesome, authentic, and affordable. I came with 3 friends and we each got a sandwich and shared a vegetarian plate. Everything was really delicious. I would definitely come again

I like the food here, its just the waiting until someone attends to you is very long. I understand they are busy and I can see the staff running around the place. The kafta was delicious, portion is big, and the chili sauce was delicious and freshly made. The platter is perfect as it's a mix of many things and can satisfy your cravings. The falafel was delicious, kafta was good and tender. The hummus was great. Will come back for sure

The meats here were simply amazing! Just got lucky that this was around the corner from my hotel. All the meats had fantastic flavor to them. My favorite was the meat patty (not sure what they call it on their menu--similar to barg. Maybe it is barg, lol). The seasoning on that was perfect. However, the chicken and the shawarma also gave off wonderful flavor. There were two spreads, the humus is the one I preferred of the two. Although not absolutely necessary, a wider variety of pickled vegetables is the only improvement I could see in these platters. I wasn't a fan of the desserts. They were different, to say the least. Maybe it's something middle easterners like that I just don't have the palate for; not sure. Staff was super friendly. The setup is my kind of restaurant. Not too fancy (keeps the costs down) but has amazing food. Small mom & pop shops are always my favorite! I hope everyone reads this and goes to support their business.

The crowds did not lie when they said large portions are provided for the price of the meal. Please remember when considering the cost of meals that you are in Geneva and most things are significantly more expensive. My wife and I searched Yelp for top rated places to eat in Geneva and this was the number one restaurant that showed up. The restaurant is set up like a mom & pop fast casual restaurant serving Lebanese food. We walked in and noticed that it was extremely busy but were able to be seated quickly (we just sat ourselves). The wait staff appears to be attentive, but we somehow remained out of site for quite some time. We were eventually greeted by a nice waiter (10-15 minutes) who quickly took our order and returned with food no more than 5-10 minutes later. Yelpers did not lie. The plate (mixed platter) was enormous packed full of falafel (star of the show), kebab, lamb, chicken, humus, yogurt, and salad. We also received a basket of pita to share amongst the table. One area that fell short was that we ordered drinks that never showed up. The restaurant was SUPER busy so I am sure it slipped someone's mind, but unfortunately this left my wife and I to eat our entire meal without a drink. Ultimately, we were not charged for the drinks so all is well. Would I return here to eat? You bet I would!l

Great, feels a bit hole in the wall but everyone was really nice and the food was great.

Best lamb I've ever had; perfect season and tender. The hummus was good. I didn't eat falafel but the guys said it was great. The chicken was good seasoning but dry. They give you a ton of pita bread. I had a traditional tea; was good. Very affordable for Geneva at 20 CH with a beverage.

One of the most inexpensive bites to eat in all of Geneva! Delicious poulet kabob sandwich 8chf for the poulet and 7chf for a falafel sandwich

My friends and I loved the place! It was recommended to us by our tour guide and did not disappoint. As soon as we walked in the owner introduced himself and personally explained the menu. We got a table right away and we're served promptly even though the place was packed. One plate of food is big enough for two! The only caveat is they prefer you to pay a groups bill altogether on one check so plan on splitting the check!

On our first afternoon in Geneva, we sought out the best-reviewed restaurants in town. This place has incredible reviews on Trip Advisor, and we are glad we had a late lunch here around 4 PM. The service was pleasant and timely, and I shared the mixed plate between 2 people (the chicken skewer with curry in addition to the beef skewer for mixed plate). To spend about $16 per person by sharing this plate was perfect for us. If you enjoy halal food, please go here.

As someone visiting geneva from the states, we stopped here for halal food. The food was average and if we'd come across this back home we probably would not eat here. The service was okay and so was the food. If you are searching for halal options this is the spot to go to. It was walking distance from hotel and also very close to the train station.

Bonus points for being open late in the afternoon in Geneva. Like most middle eastern restaurants I've experienced around these parts, this place is minimalist when it comes to decor. Buuuuut, food comes out quick, it's filling and it's cheap. I think a falafel sandwich is the perfect food to fill a tourist for a day of sightseeing. Service was decent too.

I'm not sure what all the hype is about. Stopped here for lunch today and have to say I was underwhelmed. I had a Kafta sandwich... the meat was kind of gummy (reminded me of a pre-prepared frozen burger meat), the tomatoes were not ripe, the flavor overall was ok and I did enjoy the spiciness level. I also ordered one piece of Kebe and it was cold (like it was prepared this morning and left out at room temp) and dry inside... not much flavor. The humus spread was pretty tasty. If I was forced to go back maybe I would try the chawarma instead. It is pretty cheap though so may be worth another try.

The food is really good and the prices are reasonable, which is not a combination that you can find in many places in Geneva. The main station is just few meters away. The inside of the restaurant would need some maintenance though.

Great place for a cheap, quick, and delicious lunch! We were driving from northern Switzerland towards France, and wanted a place to stop for lunch in Geneva. After some searching on Yelp and TripAdvisor, we happened upon this gem! Just a few blocks from Lake Geneva, the restaurant is nearby the police station, tourist information center, and ample street parking (as well as a large garage). When you enter, you'll notice a large deli-style counter. If you want takeout, speak to someone here. If you have a few minutes to spare, I'd recommend sitting down to eat. The service was prompt and friendly. After seeing that Yelp said the restaurant didn't accept credit cards, we checked with our waiter who reassured us (in great English) that Yelp was wrong--they do accept credit cards! We ordered two lamb platters, a chicken platter, and a vegetarian/falafel platter, as well as a side of French fries. They bring a basket of thin pita bread to your table shortly after ordering, and then the food follows not long after (it was less than 10 minutes to get our food!) The portions were huge; lamb was great, but the standouts were the hummus and falafel that came with the platters. One of the best parts? The bill came out to only 72 CHF! If you're looking for a reasonably priced, fast lunch in Geneva, look no further!

Just down the street. Place is packed. The food is fresh, hot and delicious. Come and see you will not be disappointed.

Hands down the best food we've had between Lausanne and Geneva. $17 per plate and could definitely be shared or be taken home for a second meal. We ordered the chicken plate and mixed chicken & lamb plate. I have an allergy to dairy so they were very helpful in making sure I knew what was in the plate. Centrally located near the train station makes this a must see spot. Can't wait until the next time we can go back!

Simply magnificent. The best meal yet in France and Switzerland. In expensive Geneva, this is quite the find. We ordered a lamb sand which and a mix platter. The mix platter had everything we could dream of - keftah, chicken shawarma, beef shawarma, falafel, hummus, garlic paste, and salad. We devoured everything. A must!

Fantastic place in Geneva - super low-key, well priced and tons of great food. I really love their mixed plate but everything is great, including the falafel, hummus and sausages. Kind service. If you're looking for great, cheap eats I recommend it! Open from early lunch until pretty late.

One of the best chicken shawarma sandwiches I've ever had. It's open late, super fast, and the price can't be beat for Geneva. I also had the mahalabiya for dessert and it was seriously amazing!

My second favorite spot in a Geneva. Fantastic food and a really cool ambience at night. It's a dive - don't expect white glove service.

Hungry after a day of visiting the Christmas market and shopping, we found this TASTY hole in the wall. Fresh and yummy Mediterranean food and delicious tea. Priced about right for Geneva. 17 CHF = $17 USD for a HUGE platter. So if you are in the mood for hummus, schwarma, falafel, etc. This is your place. DID I mention the amazing tea that accompanies the meal??!!!! Delish!!!

Very friendly service personnel. The meat was great, the falafels were excellent. There was a little bit too much oil on my plate, but maybe it's just something I'm not accustomed to. The prices are alright for the amount of food you get, especially for Geneva.

Good food, well priced. Went there twice in one day. Lots of middle eastern clientele (obviously) which was a good indication of quality food from the region. Service was fast and staff genuinely pleasant. Basic menu, though we had sandwiches (pita wraps - shawarma) most folks appear to have been eating the "plate" options, with generous proportions. The sweet sausage must be good as they were out when we went the 2nd time around 1030 PM.

Shared the mixed Lebanese plate with a little bit of everything and it was delicious! Falafel was moist, meats were flavorful, and hummus delightfully smooth. The bread was a bit hard (wish they didn't microwave it!) and service a bit frenzied but with their late hours and fresh food it is easy to see why this is a very popular restaurant!

Located near the Geneve train station, awesome Lebanese food. Had the chicken schwarma and the mixed plate. Both were awesome. The hummus and the garlic sauce were both really tasty. Also, must try the falafels. They are to die for. Price was relatively cheap, so great for a quick bite.

I was starving after walking around geneva and my friend suggested I should come here for the cheapest food ever in thr city! But cheap doesn't mean crap here. I had the assiete moxie. Which comes w falafel, beef, chicken, a ground beef steak, hummus, salad. Damn it was big! Neighbouring tables were sharing two per person. I managed to scarf everything down as I only ate a croisssnt. I kindly asked for more salad and I got it and wasn't even charged. At the end nice (English) service and a coke came to 20. 20!!!! That's almost unheard of in geneva!!

A hidden treasure. One of the of the best Lebanese restaurants I have been to. Everything from the Falafel t the Humas was so flavorful. Wonderful service. A very clean and inviting atmosphere.

A good bustling Lebanese cafe in Geneva. Good for a quick bite or meal without breaking the bank. You can get a hearty platter or a quick bite. The staff was efficient (by European standards) and the food was good and hearty. Nothing I can't get in NYC, but it was still very good for the price. It's right near the train station, so if you are staying overnight on business and just want a casual bite, this is a great place. Plenty of beer bars and nightlife near by. 4 Judo chops of delectable goodness!
