Nous avions réservé pour 20h30 & sommes arrivés à l'heure. Malheureusement, notre expérience a été très décevante, principalement à cause d'un manque d'organisation vraiment inadmissible.

Après avoir commandé nos entrées & nos plats, nous avons attendu près d'une heure sans rien recevoir, pas même les entrées. Pendant ce temps, une table arrivée après nous a été servie avant nous. Nous avons donc signalé le problème à la serveuse, qui s'est excusée en nous expliquant qu'il y avait eu un bug.

À partir du moment où le problème a été signalé, nous nous attendions naturellement à ce que notre commande soit traitée en priorité & correctement. Or, ce n'est pas du tout ce qui s'est passé. On nous a finalement annoncé qu'il n'y avait plus de kefta au boeuf, alors que nous avions commandé 2 plats avec kefta & 2 poulet. Pourtant, la table d'à côté, arrivée après nous, a reçu du kefta ainsi que sa commande complète. La serveuse nous a dit qu'elle ne pouvait pas pénaliser les autres clients pour nous.

De notre côté, nous avons fini par recevoir nos plats à 22h30!!!! Plus tard, lorsque les plats sont finalement arrivés, nous n'avons reçu que 3 plats sur 4. Là encore, on nous a répondu que la quatrième assiette n'avait apparemment pas été notée.

Ce qui est le plus inadmissible, ce n'est pas seulement l'attente, mais le fait qu'après avoir signalé le problème, nous n'ayons pas été servis en priorité, que notre commande n'ait pas été respectée, & que d'autres tables arrivées après nous aient reçu leurs plats complets avant nous.

Le restaurant nous a finalement offert les plats, ce que nous reconnaissons. Cependant, cela ne change pas le fait que l'expérience a été très désagréable & mal gérée du début à la fin. Nous comprenons qu'une erreur puisse arriver, mais ici, il y a eu une accumulation d'erreurs, un manque de suivi & une organisation vraiment décevante.

A lunch I had here with a friend years ago has never left my memory.
We ordered a yogurt-based appetizer with crispy pieces of bread & pomegranate seeds on top. It was beautifully presented & prepared with great care. The combination of flavors & textures was simply unforgettable.

No matter how often I come to this restaurant, I never get tired of it. The food is consistently delicious, & every visit reminds me why I keep coming back.

A place that has earned a special spot in my heart.

I recently visited Garage Beirut & had a mixed experience.

The fattoush was tasty & enjoyable. The sambousek was good as well, although it was missing the pine nuts that usually add an extra layer of flavor. The spinach fatayer was decent.

Unfortunately, the biggest disappointment was the fattet hummus. The dish contained plenty of nuts, bread, hummus, & yogurt, but it lacked the essential flavors that make this dish special. Where was the sumac? The cumin, garlic, mint, & rich taste of ghee? The overall flavor was surprisingly bland & underwhelming.

The khichkach was another letdown. The portion was very small, & it tasted more like kafta than the authentic khichkach one would expect.

Lastly, the knefeh seemed old rather than freshly made. The cheese was hard & lacked the soft, fresh texture that makes a great knefeh memorable.

Overall, while some dishes were enjoyable, several traditional favorites fell short of expectations, especially considering the reputation of the restaurant.
One more thing: the music. We used to hear beautiful Lebanese classics by feiruz & other authentic Lebanese artists. Unfortunately, the music selection no longer reflects that rich heritage.
It would be wonderful to bring back the classic Lebanese songs that so many of us grew up with.
