Beirut in Edinburgh, City of

Amazing food , friendly staff , Highly recommend 👌 👍 👏

The starters were better than the main course ... meat so dry

The smallest portion for a family of 4, Very expensive, 100 pounds for a meal enough for 2. Service charge was £8.40 when we hardly received any service. Never going back again

Good place, but there is better places Good luck

Our request was a tea 🫖 and it’s not so bad , But the young man's behavior was rude and completely uncooperative.

Unfortunately, the food is bad and the grills are difficult to eat But the people and service are excellent The inside of the place is bad

La comida increíble, el personal muy amable y servicial, recomendaría encarecidamente, excelentes precios también, los chicos hicieron un meze especial para nosotros y me cuidaron con mi alergia

We are regulars here so would recommend, but disappointed this week when we were told we could only have table for an hour 15 'because it was August'. We ended up all driving for such a short slot, arrived to find place was empty and there was no push for us to leave at all. Which was good...but we would have eaten and drunk (ie spent) a lot more if we hadn't had that unwelcoming steer when booking.

Nos presentaron groseramente la factura en medio del postre y nos pidieron que nos fuéramos porque la mesa era necesaria de vuelta, ni siquiera habíamos estado sentados durante una hora antes de que nos apresuraran a salir por la puerta. Comida encantadora, pero no hay manera de tratar a la gente.

Great food and good price, rating is because being chased put of table after 1hr of a 2 hr booking because it was the festival. As a local it would be interesting if you need our trade in the winter months or whether you we happy to shoo us away

Habíamos reservado esta comida hace aproximadamente un mes para un cumpleaños, antes del espectáculo Fringe. No podíamos quejarnos de la comida y el servicio hasta que, a mitad de bocado de nuestro baclava, nos pidieron que nos fuéramos. La razón... había una cola afuera esperando mesas y estaba lloviendo. Habíamos tenido un total de 50 minutos para nuestra comida. No es suficiente Beirut. Definitivamente no volveremos!

Great food, everything we ordered authentic, cooked over embers with excellent flavor. Highly recommended Lebanese restaurant. Everything was 10. And the service was fantastic. Highly recommended.

The food is clean and delicious and the staff are excellent

The best Lebanese restaurant 10/10🔥🔥

Even though it was such a busy evening. The staff made sure you had an amazing experience and the best service in the town. Food quantity is decent and you cannot go wrong. Definitely visit these guys while in Edinburgh.

The place smells like cooking gas because the chairs are close to the kitchen The curtains contribute to the smell of food and the smell of the kitchen sticking to the place. The food is very good. I ordered grape leaves with oil and they came to me hot and spicy instead of cold. The salads need more olive oil as they are somewhat dry.

It was very, very bad. I had food poisoning. Be careful of it

Pasamos la noche en Edimburgo con amigos. El entorno era precioso, el personal era amable, y la comida estaba bien, aunque no era lo que esperaba ya que me encanta la cocina libanesa. El servicio fue un poco inconsistente, y nos decepcionamos cuando el gerente trajo la factura (promedio para la ciudad, no la más barata) sin que preguntáramos y sugerimos que nos mudáramos a otra mesa para continuar charlando después de terminar nuestra cena. Somos italianos y disfrutamos charlando después de nuestra comida, así que esto fue apagado - poniendo

Entorno encantador, personal amable, la comida estaba bien, el servicio era un poco errático, muy decepcionado mientras todavía comía para ser presentado con la factura y pidió que se mueva a otra mesa para terminar nuestra comida y bebidas, cuando nos negamos el gerente se stroppy y se disculpó por no explicar que tenían un límite de tiempo de una hora y media en la mesa al comienzo del servicio, pero todavía esperaba que nos moviéramos. No nos ofrecieron postres , nos hicimos cargo del servicio de la factura debido a esto y probablemente no volveremos.

Visited during the festival when they were obviously very busy. That said the food was average at best. Very little flavour in the minced lamb dishes ant the stews felt like a portion was ladled out of a big pot into a bowl. 3 meatballs in a bowl of tomato sauce with a spoon of rice was also not value for money at £18. Starters also expensive at £6-8 for a dish of yogurt or hummus.

Great food and experience, one point down for the price, it was a bit pricy compared to the portion

Fresh food and excellent service, will definitely be back next time I’m in Edinburgh

The food is delicious, the service is excellent, and its location is close to the Edinburgh Mosque

Very busy due to the festival but staff were friendly, helpful and busy. My first visit but will be back. Lovely food .

An absolute winner every time. We have been eating at Beirut for 10 years and it never disappoints. Great place for larger groups too, birthday celebrations, etc.

Chinese shabu shop in the basement of a building in Edinburgh

The food is substandard, the restaurant is mediocre, I do not recommend it.

After a stressful day, I had amazing food at this place visited for the first time. Having hummus with bread and a cappuccino was truly delightful, especially since I had been experiencing severe headaches and tiredness from a full day of activities. It was a relaxing experience that made my day much better. Thank you for contributing to such a wonderful end to my day.

Very nice host. The food I received was not worthy of their good reputation. I hope that the way food is prepared and presented will be improved

Dishes are okay The service is also like that if there were many employees, we would not have had to get up more than once to get a spoon or a cup 😅 The restaurant is ordinary, but there is something unbeatable about it On top of that, the service is bad. They put a charge service on them and they refused to remove it, knowing that it was our right and we were forced to pay for it 😅 Should we go back to him again? no

Excellent Lebanese food, we tried Mutabel, Waraq Enab, Tabouleh, Kebbah, Kabab Khiskhash & Fish Siyadiah . The food was above excellent Highly recommended

Delicious and beautiful in the atmosphere of Edinburgh Sayadiya is different but delicious 😋 Khashkhash kebab👌🏻 Mutabal 👌🏻smoking taste

Ordered mixed grill: the best of them was chicken - the meat kebab was average, the meat was not good.. the rice was nice - the fattoush salad was nice - the potatoes were nice and the potato sauce was also nice.. the service was excellent.

A beautiful restaurant, beautiful food, and the people are creative. I specialize in brother Noah Bahjat, thank you very much

To be honest, it is an Arabic restaurant and delicious food, especially the shish tawook with delicious appetizers and halloumi, and its price is very reasonable and the staff service is very nice ❤️

Highly recommended, the gastronomy of the place is delicious, the waiters are very friendly and attentive.

I thank Yazan for the good reception and service. The food is excellent, the best among them was the shish tawook, and the prices are acceptable. It should also be taken into account if you are allergic to gluten or celiac disease. I will repeat it. Lemon mint and shish tawook are the best.

wonderful cuisine, friendly staff, cozy interior! I recommend it both for visiting with family and spending time with a group! It’s also nice to smoke shisha on the terrace

The restaurant is legendary and the treatment is very excellent. My best regards to the Arabs in the restaurant. The treatment is very excellent. May God give you wellness and the food is very legendary ❤️🫡

Here for a pre-theatre bite and it was absolutely outstanding value. The service was superb, with an extremely friendly, helpful and thoughtful waitress. The best stuffed vine leaves we've had for a long time, very tasty mains, and really delicate baklava and mint tea to finish. Being BYOB was an added bonus. And we couldn't believe how cheap the final bill was. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Nice restaurant serving lebanese-inspired cuisine. Good portions and presentation.

One of the best Arabic restaurants in Edinburgh I highly recommend it

The food was very delicious, the place was nice, and the service was nice and fast

Very welcoming man at the counter. Food was good and so was the service.

First time dining here, loved it Food very good, staff friendly, cosy atmosphere, quiet when we arrived but soon busied up

To discover... If you like Lebanese cuisine, you will enjoy it.

Lush food and brilliant service! Will be back!

Cucina mediocre, verdure alla griglia carbonizzate, niente di speciale.Non consigliabile. Prezzi nella media ma non basta!!!!

I'm Lebanese and was very excited about an authentic Lebanese restaurant in Edinburgh. The food in this place was pretty good but the service stunk. We got there and there was a large party of people speaking Arabic. They were given the royal treatment while we were largely ignored. I will NEVER go here again.

Very tasty food , not heavy on your pocket though , clean environment

They have the best middle-eastern salads 💕💕 Totally recommend.

Simple and tasty food, nothing elaborate and I only had a couple of dishes, both of which were executed well and cleanly.

Mashallah, the food is delicious and a large quantity, the treatment is respectful, the atmosphere is wonderful, and there are seating areas inside the restaurant The requests were:- Fattoush salad 9/10 Meat kofta 10/10 Shish Tawook 10/10 French fries 9/10 May God give you wellness and bless you ♥️

Amazing food, and the staff are super friendly specially Joe or George as they like to call him Very recommended if u r looking for a middle Eastern food

Lovely surroundings and pleasant staff ,but food was average, mixed grill was dry and lacking Iin flavour. Lamb was tough, but chicken and lamb kebabs was lovely and moist.

We absolutely love this place! Second time here during our visit to Edinburgh. The restaurants recently renovated so warm and inviting. Food is outstanding. We like to come and get a bunch a small plates. Always fantastic. Every year we come to Edinburgh this restaurant is on our list. Never disappoints. A good value for money. We love this place!

Great Lebanese kebabs and staff.

We were 3 generation party of nine ages 9- 70.All of us loved everything about our visit to Beirut.They were very happy to allow us to bring a birthday cake( adding fantastic Baklava ) but that was the end of the evening.2 mixed vegetable platters as starters , 4 mixed grills, a chicken dish, lovely salads and 5 plates of chips The meats were great and plentiful( a doggy bag was needed!) .Lebanese coffees .They also allow you to bring your own wine..The food was matched by the welcome and service by All.We will be back- hopefully very soon.

Food was very good and filling, enjoyed

Food was delicious and service was excellent start to finish! Cosy atmosphere too. Highly recommend.

We came out for a pre-theatre dinner and really enjoyed our experience. The food was very tasty and the service was excellent. There are a range of alcoholic drinks on the menu (a little overpriced) but it is BYOB so would recommend making use of that. I didn’t get photos of everything but would recommend the hummus with lamb, baba ganoush, halloumi and mixed grill platter (photographed). The mixed grill platter is definitely a sharer course. The rice served with the platter was unreal, so so good. The staff were honest when we asked if dishes were big enough for two which was appreciated. Ironically, we ordered way too much of the Lebanese bread but it was great for dipping. The atmosphere was great, it was full by 6pm on a Saturday night and I loved the theming of the restaurant and the music. We will definitely be back again!

On the expensive side, but the food was delicious.

It is a fab place. The food is delicious and the service is great. We just found that it was a little bit cold inside the restaurant.

The food was delicious and value for money many vegetarian choices I will be back

Servers were brilliant food was delicious first time trying Lebanese cuisine and wasn't disappointed went for the set meal for two and it was so tasty.

Ordered kebab khashkhash. And pickles. Free potato The taste is delicious and the service is excellent

very nice and beautiful restaurant.

Lovely little Lebanese restaurant, great authentic decor, nice atmosphere, friendly attentive staff and absolutely delicious food, really enjoyed it and would recommend

A halal food restaurant. The food was very delicious. I recommend trying the grilled meat. The meat is better than the chicken. Trying the vegetable moussaka is very good. The service was excellent. The staff was helpful. The atmosphere was calm. They gave us free dessert with coffee. I recommend trying it. The prices are somewhat average.

We visited last night and had a delicious set meal with a nice Lebanese red wine to go with it. Great place, great food and friendly and attentive service.

Such a welcome with great food. Spent two hours there and would have been very happy to stay longer

استقبال سيء و الأكل غير جيد و غير مناسب للعرب

الاكل غير جيد التعامل مع العرب جداً سيء خصوصاً اهل الخليج

Great place, been meaning to go for ages and wasn't disappointed. Good range of food. I've always liked Lebanese food and this is good Lebanese food. Good range of food for vegan, vegetarian and fish,meat dishes. Update: it was so good we took the whole family the next weekend.

Wonderful meal at Beirut this week. We were welcomed by a friendly waiter who took time to offer his thoughts on Lebanese beer, which we tried after his recommendation. It was lovely and light! Complimenting the food so well. The food! Where to begin? It smelled incredible, it tasted even better and there was more than enough of it. I think I'll be dreaming of the chicken until the next time I am lucky enough to visit this restaurant. The prices are so reasonable given the restaurant is in the city centre. We were served complimentary baklava to end our meal, which was a really nice touch. It was also delicious, just like the rest of the meal. Can't wait to visit again when I'm next in Edinburgh!

My wife and I visited here on Wednesday 3rd January, at around 8pm. When we arrived the restaurant was very quiet but it soon started to fill up. We had a very attentive server, who offered us some Lebanese beer, rather than the usual choice. We are glad that he offered this as it was a lovely change and complemented the food well. To start we had hommus and batata harra, both well were presented and very delicious. A nice gap was left between the starters and the mains, we had shish tawouk and the chicken wrap. Once again both were delicious and the portions were very generous. I am very happy that we visited here and we will definitely return when we are next in Edinburgh. Thank you!

Great Food. The best Sea Bass I've ever had and great portion sizes

Great place for eastern and Halal food

Excellent food and friendly service.

Excellent food for a group of 9 on a short timeframe before a theatre booking. Lovely grub with top-class service. Complimentary baklavas were absolutely delicious!

Eat here roughly every 3 months. Love it! Always order the 2 person sharing platter. Loads more food than 2 people can eat! Food great, service attentive. Can't fault!

Great service and amazing food! I don’t remember the last time I was so full and satisfied with the dishes.

10/10 customer service, food and atmosphere. Never been served better.

Lovely place and lovely personel. The food is great and plenty too

Nothing like Lebanese food at all... Tried: hummus : 5/10 okay Batata harraa: 1/10 Inedible, obviously fried with a very old oil or the potato it self was not good. Shish tawoog: 4/10 oily and with something like Indian spices. Tabbouleh salad: 7/10 it was good. Would not recommend.

Absolutely brilliant! The best in the business. Yes they are somewhat expensive but the quality is supereme! Hummus, falafel, kofta Kabab chicken cubes the tahina, simply top notch stuff! Only place better than this might be in middle east no competition in the UK!

We went there for a baptism dinner. The staff was super friendly, happy to cater to our needs and requirements and at reasonable prices. The food was awesome and wholesome, and extremely abundant.

Dined here with old friend yesterday and it was perfect. The service was impeccable and the food was delicious. We shared a vegetarian mezze platter and a couple of hot mezze. I couldn't fault it, the moussaka was outstanding. I haven't been here for a number of years but it remains an excellent choice. Very well located too.

Where to start, we went yesterday to Beirut restaurant following our graduation ceremony. The hospitality was exceptional, workers were very friendly and welcoming. Service was great. Food was fresh, tasted good and served well. Portions were very big and we ended up taking lots of food with us. They were very generous and gave us lots of complementary dishes including the sweets in the photo. I found it an amazing gesture added to our celebration. We really enjoyed the experience and it was a great choice to celebrate our graduation. I truly recommend this restaurant and definitely will be visiting again whenever in Edinburgh.

This has always been a favourite. The place is cosy and unpretentious with a warm friendly service Food is well seasoned and generous, it feels like a home cooked authentic fair Lamb skewer are tender and full flavour with a nice tomato sauce served on a flat bread Worth a detour

Wonderful restaurant with exceptionally friendly service. Would highly recommend.

Good food! Amazing staff , loved the Lebanese music and atmosphere 🫶🏻 brings me back home! Thank you xx

Some of the best humus I've had. The shawarma was great too. It came with this nan bread that had a red sauce on it that was really good

Super arabisches Essen und super Preise. Ich kann mit gutem Gewissen empfehlen.

The best grilled meat I have ever tried in my whole life in this lovely restaurant! Highly recommend

Went there thinking is a great Lebanese restaurant only to get disappointed. Ordered mix grill, lamb shish and kofta only to realised they were microwaved and I bet they were cooked yesterday or the day before. Felt very dry and rubbery. Don't recommend it.

من أجمل المطاعم رقي في التعامل، الموظفين بشوشين جودة الأكل رائعة عندك كباب ممتاز وشيش طاووق ممتاز وجربت المسقعة أيضا جيدة غير السادنوتشات المتنوعة الكثيرة

Decent food but very expensive - suspect they may have jacked up their prices for the festival. Won't be returning otherwise.

Great food and excellent service. Good choice of Lebanese and Scottish food.

المكان صغير ومتواضع. الأكل أقل من جيد، اللحم ناشف وتكا الدجاج قطع كبيرة لا مذاق فيها. العاملين في المطعم شباب سوريين محترمين. باختصار لا أتصح فيه أهلنا بالخليج
