Zahrat Lebnan - Defence St

Food was amazing. We had the fish (half), lamb shoulder with rice (the red coloured rice was our favourite), lentil soup and tabouli. We only wished we had enough room in our stomach to eat all of it because it was delicious! They also give complimentary bread and black tea (which I really enjoyed). Would highly recommend. Be warned, the dishes are massive!

Ok. The food is delicious and the prices are reasonable. I believe many people share me this view. But my comment here is not about that. I wanna talk about the service. More importantly, how nice and welcoming the staff are. Everyone is nice and smiling, and they all look in a good mood that really reflects on you. Even if you peak into the kitchen, where workers are usually in their worst shape, this wasn't the case in Zahrat. Just look at them and you'll notice how cheerful are they. My guess is that the owner really treats them well (something very rare in this type of restaurants). Additional note: You must really, really try Guava with Mint. This is by far the best juice ever. Hope to see this places opening in Dubai!

Excellent restaurant. I have been to many Lebanese restaurants in different countries, and this one is among the best for sure. Food is great, service is even better. There is this weird thing in UAE when service providers ask you to mention them in your review 🤦‍♂️, but regardless of that this review is an honest opinion. So the staff: Hosmi, is very friendly, helpful and with good humour, Ibrahim Mohamed is very caring. We totally enjoyed our meal.

We come here now every weekend, it’s always such a pleasant experience. The staff is super friendly and helpful…. Alaa always greets us a warm welcome. Saleh has been attending us every time and is so polite and sweet and suggestive of the best dishes and always checks for our satisfaction. Aloshka has been so sweet to us with his little surprise gestures and a friendly and familiar attitude towards pir kid. A big shout out to the manager Mr. Abdelrahim for his hospitality and polite attitude. All in all we had great food and excellent hospitality. What we had: Mixed Grill, Lentil Soup, Mixed Makali Platter, Falafel, Maqluba, Umm Ali, Manakish and Shawarma and Fatteh Just blindly go for it… it’s the best in the city

My dear brother, Mahmoud Al-Maghribi, I want to express my deep gratitude for your warm hospitality at Zahrat Al-Banan restaurant. The lunch today was truly special, not only because of the delicious food but also thanks to your attention and dedication to providing excellent service. You always add a special touch to the place, making me feel right at home. I wish you continued success and know that your hard work and passion will lead you to even greater achievements. Thank you once again, and I hope we meet soon!

We came here three times during our trip to Abu Dhabi. Once we found out how tasty the food was, we come back cause there’s no thing we wouldn’t pick from their menu. I definitely wish I had this restaurant in my hometown. The hummus and the mixed grill is just superb, as any other traditional dish. A special mention to Ali, who took care of us very nicely. Will be for sure our first choice every time we land in Abu Dhabi.

I came with my colleagues and we really had a good time. The staff are really friendly and they very proactive. The ambiance is really nice as well. And the best thing are the foods. It’s delicious. Thumbs up guys. Same every time we visit.

Living in London and I come to this exact chain everytime I’m visiting Abu Dhabi because this smoothie is unreal. The workers are so friendly and accommodating, making the whole experience amazing!
