What to Eat at Mashrou3 Tabkha – Akl Yawmi 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 Mashrou3 Tabkha – Akl Yawmi, 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.

“Top notch, homemade, authentic Lebanese meals "6abekh bet". First time ordering and I am definitely beyond impressed. The packaging is on point, the aesthetic is definitely there, and most importantly the flavor is banging. I am very picky when it comes to Lebanese cuisine especially that I grew up with a mother who's cooking was heavenly and this comes real close to Mom's cooking.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Order Early. For delivery, order before busy periods; one customer said ordering early helped the meal arrive on time and hot.
Avoid Iftar. Avoid relying on this restaurant for a time-critical Iftar delivery; a pre-booked order still left the rider waiting over 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Check Requests. If you need sauce kept separate, confirm the request before ordering; one pasta order arrived with all the sauce mixed in.
Try Desserts. If you want to add something sweet, the date pudding cake has been described as creamy and good with tea.

Common Concerns
Order Cancellations
Some customers say accepted orders were later cancelled after waiting, including one cancellation routed through the delivery company after 20–30 minutes.
Food Smells
Recent reviews report unpleasant smells in rice, molokhiah and chicken dishes, with one customer unable to eat the order.
Delivery Delays
Delivery timing has been unreliable, including an Iftar order where the rider reportedly waited at the restaurant for over 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Order Accuracy
A customer waited 20 minutes and received the wrong food, then had to ask for assistance rather than being proactively informed.
Food Quality
The kafta has drawn serious criticism, including meat described as old and sour and potatoes described as rubbery.

These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

The Bottom Line
Mashrou3 Tabkha – Akl Yawmi is a Lebanese restaurant in Al Barsha built around daily, home-style meals ordered for delivery or takeaway. The most appealing dishes in the reviews include kafta batata, shish barak, mouloukhiah and dawood basha, while sticky date pudding and brownies give the menu a dessert following. Several customers describe the food as tasting like something cooked at home, and older reviews mention generous or shareable portions.
Packaging is one of the steadier positives. Orders have arrived hot, clean and without spills, and one reviewer appreciated the use of paper containers instead of plastic. When the kitchen and delivery process run smoothly, customers report fast delivery, fresh food and useful extras such as bread, lemon, onions and capsicum.
Ordering early helped one customer avoid the busy-hour rush. The caution is consistency. Recent reviews describe bad smells in chicken, rice and molokhiah, along with a kafta dish whose meat tasted sour and potatoes were rubbery.
Delivery problems are also significant: accepted orders have been cancelled, wrong meals have arrived, and an Iftar order was badly delayed. For a first order, choose a quieter time, check special requests carefully and avoid using it for a meal that must arrive at a precise time.
