The Bottom Line

Al Beiruti Cafe DIFC is a Lebanese Modern Posh Café where the main draw is authentic Lebanese food in a polished but lively setting. You can build a meal around hummus, eggplant fatteh, mixed grills, shawarma or daily dishes such as molokhia and wara2 3enab. Chicken escalope and the ½ KG mixed grill were also singled out by reviewers.

The menu suits sharing: a family of five ordered a wide spread of mezze, fried kibbeh, arayes kafta and tawouk platters, while a group of 14 was accommodated successfully. Shisha is a serious part of the experience, and reviewers also mention refreshing juices, mocktails and outdoor seating. Smoking and non-smoking areas are available.

Service is usually described as welcoming, attentive and fast, with staff offering recommendations and checking on tables. The main practical drawback is access at busy times. Parking can be difficult, although one reviewer reported three hours of free parking after validation and another mentioned valet at AED20 per hour.

m. If you want a quiet, extended shisha session, note that one visitor found the chairs uncomfortable and another reported noise near the kitchen.
