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.

I liked trying Garage Beirut, the food was good & the staff was great as well!
However, in terms of value for money, I did find it quite pricey for the portions served. We ordered the dip platter, which came with four individually sized dips to share, which was understandable. We also ordered one shish taouk & one kefta plate (+ 1 lemonade, +1 coke 0)
The kefta plate came with two skewers, some pickles, & a bit of onion & garlic sauce, while the shish taouk plate was basically the equivalent of two chicken skewers with pickles, half an onion & a bit of hummus. The portions were pretty small considering each plate cost around $25, which isn't insignificant.
In total, we ended up paying about $97, which felt like a lot for the amount of food we were served.

Amazing food & service. We didn't have a reservation but I recommend it because it's small & they may not have room on a busy night.

Small underground restaurant on the cozier side for sure. Best Lebanese food I've had so far! Their dip sampler is a must order & chicken was juicy! Reservations are highly recommended.

Les plats sont très délicieux mais l'espace est trop petit

Great & tasty food, a bit expensive for a lebanese cuisine. But the staff was super friendly they even offered my friends small sips of Arak (out Lebanese alcohol) & did not charge us for it
