What to Eat at Beirut Khanum Restaurant - Downtown Dubai, Boulevard How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Beirut Khanum Restaurant - Downtown Dubai, Boulevard, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Tips for a Better Visit
Choose Outdoors. When the weather is comfortable, ask for an outdoor table to enjoy the Boulevard atmosphere and views.
Pick Your Section. If smoke matters to you, request the non-smoking section; smoking and non-smoking areas are both mentioned.
Use Valet. Valet parking is reported next to the restaurant, which may simplify an evening visit.
Check Delays. If dishes are late, confirm that the order was entered; one diner waited over an hour for an order that was never logged.
Try Lemon Mint. The lemon mint drink is a well-supported choice if you want something refreshing alongside lunch or dinner.

The Bottom Line
Beirut Khanum is a Lebanese restaurant in Downtown Dubai for mezze, grills and a relaxed shisha evening. Reviews repeatedly mention authentic flavours and fresh preparation, with hummus, tabbouleh, fattoush, grilled chicken and mixed Lebanese dishes all appearing across the feedback. Portions are often described as generous, making it workable for sharing or a business lunch.
The setting is a major part of the appeal. Outdoor tables look onto the Boulevard and Downtown walking area, while one diner mentions a partial Burj Khalifa view. Arabic music, warm lighting and a blend of modern and traditional Lebanese touches create a comfortable backdrop for friends, family dinners or a solo meal.
Separate smoking and non-smoking sections are also reported. Shisha is one of the clearest draws: several customers call it smooth, flavourful and long-lasting. For drinks, the lemon mint is specifically praised as refreshing and aromatic.
Valet parking is reportedly available next to the restaurant. Service and food quality are not completely consistent. Most reviews describe friendly, attentive service, but isolated complaints report an unentered order, more than an hour’s wait, salty or undercooked food, uncleared tables and ants.
If your order is delayed, confirm it has been entered before waiting on.
