“We ordered their Chicken and Beef Shawarma sandwiches, Batata Harra (Spicy Potatoes), Hummus with Meat, Mint Lemonade, and Shisha. The shawarma was so juicy and perfectly spiced. I loved the chicken shawarma because garlic sauce takes it to another level, but the beef shawarma was also so delicious. The hummus with meat was creamy and tasted great, along with the crunchy batata harra. In addition, my friend enjoyed the shisha and I loved the refreshing mint lemonade.”

Avoid peaks. Visit outside peak hours or allow extra time: one diner reported waiting around 30 minutes for a table.
Add heat. If you prefer spicy food, ask for extra harissa or chili paste; one review found the dishes mild for a spice-loving palate.
Check topping. When ordering Hummus with Meat, confirm whether the topping is minced or chunky and ask about any extra charge.
Use parking. The restaurant is inside the mall, and a review specifically notes ample parking available on the spot.
Try Umm Ali. Leave room for Umm Ali if you enjoy dessert; one diner called the warm bread pudding the star of the meal.
Check age rules. The shisha area is reported as restricted to guests aged 18 and over; cards and tawle can also be requested.

A review reports waiting around 30 minutes for a table, especially during peak hours.
One diner felt portions were small for the prices and received only two small complimentary appetiser plates for six people.
A diner expected meat chunks with Hummus with Meat but received minced meat and was charged extra for the alternative.
One review found both the lamb chops and lamb kebab skewers hard, although the chicken was still good.
One quiet-restaurant visit involved at least 20 minutes without a menu, table setting or acknowledgement.
The Bottom Line
Al Beiruti The Hills is a Lebanese family restaurant in Dubai Hills Estate, inside Dubai Hills Mall. It suits diners looking for mezze, shawarma and grills in a lively setting, with reviews often pointing to fresh Lebanese flavours and attentive hospitality. The Mix Grill is praised for tender meat, while grilled prawns, Frake raw meat and Hummus with Meat are also mentioned by name.
The atmosphere ranges from busy but comfortable indoors to a calmer terrace. There is a shisha area, and guests can ask for cards or tawle (backgammon); the shisha section is reported as 18+ only. Parking is described as ample and available on the spot, which is handy if you are combining dinner with a mall visit.
Timing matters. Several reviews describe the restaurant as busy, with one diner waiting around 30 minutes for a table during peak hours, so off-peak visits may be easier. Food experiences are not completely uniform: one guest found the lamb hard, another felt portions were small for the price, and a Hummus with Meat order arrived with minced meat instead of the expected chunks.
If you like heat, ask for extra harissa or chili paste. Dessert is worth considering too, especially the warmly reviewed Umm Ali.
