What to Eat at Lebanushi Restaurant & Lounge 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 Lebanushi Restaurant & Lounge, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. We still have more reviews to analyze, so the scores may change. 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
Expect Food Hall. Go for convenience rather than a secluded dining room: the restaurant is in an indoor food-court setting.
Try Lamb. Consider the lamb and rice or Lamb Ouzi; both receive especially specific praise in the reviews.
Allow Flexibility. If your schedule is tight, leave some extra time in case preparation runs slower than expected.
Post-Shopping. Its location makes it a practical stop after browsing Dubai Mall, whether you want a quick bite or a slower meal.

The Bottom Line
Lebanushi is a Lebanese and Middle Eastern restaurant in Downtown Dubai, in the food-court area opposite Dubai Mall. It suits a quick post-shopping meal, but the menu also supports a more relaxed visit, with reviewers mentioning grilled meats, Lamb with Rice, Lamb Ouzi and freshly baked manakish. The strongest theme is freshness and familiar Lebanese flavour.
Reviewers describe tender lamb, juicy fried kebbeh, creamy hummus, fresh salads and warm bread straight from the oven; the chicken taouk is noted as juicy and well marinated. Presentation is another draw, with stylish interiors and carefully plated dishes appearing repeatedly. Service is generally described as friendly, efficient and attentive.
One reviewer also reports fast, reliable delivery, with orders arriving fresh and well prepared. Portions are often called satisfying or large, and one customer said leftovers could be taken away. The main trade-off is the setting.
This is a food-hall or food-court environment rather than a fully enclosed restaurant, and one reviewer found the indoor vibe less appealing. Another said food took some time, although they felt the freshness justified waiting. If you are in a hurry, quick service is often reported, but allow a little flexibility; after shopping, it works for either a fast bite or a laid-back meal.
