One customer ordered marinated chicken wings but was billed for marinated chicken breast, discovered only after getting home.
A reviewer found the grilled chicken had a bad smell, although they still liked other dishes, especially the fattoush.

The Bottom Line
Meat Beirut combines a Lebanese butcher shop with a small grill in Al Barsha South. You can sit down for charcoal-grilled meat, order sandwiches, or buy fresh and marinated cuts for a home barbecue. Reviews repeatedly highlight the freshness, clean handling and Lebanese-style preparation, making it useful for both a quick meal and stocking up for guests.
The grilled mixed grill, lamb chops, kafta and sujuk receive especially specific praise. Sandwiches are made to order, with one customer calling the sujuk and kafta crunchy sandwich exceptional and recommending the potato sandwich too. For home cooking, customers mention kebab skewers, chicken wings, tawook and a variety of frozen kibbeh, kafta and spring rolls.
Kibbeh Nayye, or raw meat kibbeh, is described as a hidden menu option, so it is worth asking about availability. Service is generally described as friendly, fast and helpful, and the shop is often praised for being neat and well organised. There are a few practical cautions: parking has been called a major problem, and one customer was billed for chicken breast instead of the wings ordered.
Another found the grilled chicken had a bad smell, while a separate review found the garlic paste too spicy and bitter. Check your order before leaving and plan parking if driving.
