I don't write that many reviews, but I had to share my experience at Hayat because it really stood out to me. First, the ambiance is super inviting & vibrant, with great music, lighting, & well-thought-out decor.

When I go out to eat, I look for an immersive experience that combines out-of-the-ordinary food, warm service & energy from the staff, & a good mix of a chic but lively environment. Let me tell you, Hayat provided all of the above & went well beyond my expectations.

You can feel the authenticity behind all the recipes, & when the food is served with such personalized & attentive service, it makes the whole experience that much more enjoyable.

I especially loved the lamb shank, which was perfectly tender, & the short ribs, which quite literally melted in my mouth. & don't even get me started on the eggplant mash, which gives you creaminess & tanginess from the eggplant purée, topped with savoury, tomatoey beef & a touch of crispiness from the fried eggplant (+ a subtle sweet kick from the pomegranate seeds).

Thank you to the amazing cooking team & all the staff for making us feel at home, but with better food! :)))

So delicious! It's often tough to find good food in touristy areas, but hayat is even worth a trip just for the food. The lamb was juicy & flavorful, & they didn't skimp on the pine nuts.

It's definitely middleastern approved. Amazing flavors, generous portions, & lovely staff. But definitely on the pricier side.

I normally stay away from the restaurants & the Old Port area as they tend to be overpriced & not worth the money. I therefore had my reservations when we made an impromptu decision to try out Hayat.. but it definitely paid off. The food was quite outstanding- it seemed quite authentic, was very well prepared & plated.

The menu is interesting & not crazy long- which clearly gives them the ability to ensure strong quality control. The desserts were refreshing & unique. As were the cocktails. The service is kind & attentive & the location & ambience are beautiful. 100% recommend.

The food was really delicious. There were four of us, so we tried a lot of dishes. All were flavorful, & the portions were generous. The only complaint is we asked for boxes, & instead of providing them, they took our plates to box the food up. The problem was that they transferred the food from plates without serving spoons into the boxes using their bare hands. I really enjoy leftovers & would certainly rather take them home to reduce waste, but the food was mishandled.

Nous sommes venus jeudi dîner, & nous avons adoré notre expérience chez Hayat! La nourriture était vraiment délicieuse & l'ambiance très chaleureuse. Notre serveuse était souriante, amicale & nous a donné d'excellentes recommandations. Le service était impeccable du début à la fin. Une très belle découverte, nous reviendrons certainement!
