We recently had a party catered by Beirut Cafe. They delivered the food with care, the presentation was fantastic and the food itself was delicious! Extremely happy with our experience and would definitely recommend them!

Their shawarmas are the best! We’ve tried so many around here but theirs are totally legit, just like the ones in Dubai and Bahrain!

Kind of an odd layout, but the food is delicious (and fresh), service sincere, and price reasonable. Would recommend.

This is an incredible Mediterranean grocery store, butcher, and catering business. Their food is absolutely delicious. They are very reasonably priced and offer the most amazing Lebanese cuisine. Everything is always so fresh! They are very accommodating. Their lamb, beef, chicken, kabob, kufta, are all delicious. They have great salads, rice, and pastries as well. I always use Beirut Cafe for all my parties and my guests are always impressed. They also have quick turnaround and can customize orders as needed. Highly recommend them. I have been using them exclusively for the last 8 years!

Great food, wonderful service

We had a whole cow butchered by Beirut Butchery and they really went above and beyond with their service. They provided exactly the different types of cuts we requested and packaged everything very neatly/cleanly in individual styrofoam trays. The folks there take pride in their work. We requested many different kinds of steaks, ribs, roasts, kabobs, ground beef, and desi cuts and they exceeded our expectations and were knowledgable about the different cuts. Their prices were also very competitive.

Extremely kind and accommodating. Found them and booked immediately, entire process was so simple and amazing. Food was fantastic!! All the guests loved it and were so impressed. I highly recommend ordering catering from them, they will not leave you disappointed.

So I have no issue with small portions - I just don't want to pay $14.00 for one, especially not one that's sub-par. My husband and I ordered for lunch today and we paid quite a lot since we love Lebanese food.We received a half-filled tiny container of rice, styrofoam containers with one section taken up by a sauce, the second taken up by a couple fries, and the third with half-fries, and a few pieces of tiny, overcooked chicken.We also only got 4 quarter-pieces of pita between two meals...Again, would've been fine if we hadn't paid $14.00 per meal, and the food we DID get was overcooked and kinda stale.Definitely not gonna run this one back.

Family run operation. Mother (I suspect) cooked awesome food and young lady served us well with a smile. Not an ambient or cozy spot. But if you like good food and friendly service for a quick bite, this should be place. I gave 5 stars because nothing was short of what they offered.

First time trying this place and I will not be returning. The food was cold when I picked up even though I was three minutes away when I placed the order. The meat tasted old and was cold . The pita bread is not made from scratch ( store bought) . I was looking forward to a tasty meal and was very disappointed. With all the bad reviews I’m shocked to see that the owners don’t care to make improvements. Do not waste your time spending your hard earned money here because you’ll be disappointed…just being honest.
This review is for market only! I visited my friends and tried very nice Lebanese pickles and absolutely amazing stuffed eggplants. So,I decided to find these things in the store around me and I was lucky to buy them here. Absolutely weird was absence of prices on all products in the store so you have to literally grab things and take it to the cashier to know how much it cost. Also,I noticed that ground meat was not fresh. But location is convenient and store was clean and well lighted.

First and foremost, I don't know why I trusted the previous reviews, I'm now assuming that previous reviewers have no idea what Lebanese food is supposed to taste like. But if you're reading this, you're in luck because I'm actually Lebanese. Now I'm not trying to be harsh, only honest because I've been really craving Shawarma and great Lebanese food in general since my Teta passed away and this was not it. Beef Shawarma Sandwich - meat had no seasoning/spices or flavor Beef Kafta Sandwich - too many random spices, I was confused as to what was going on in my mouth Hummus - Bland Tabouli - Holy Lemon Juice, also tasted like it was just sitting around soaking in lemon - not as fresh as it could be Falafel - Not Bad Kibbie - The winner of the entire meal 4/5 Fatayer Sampler - Burnt. Spinach Fatayer tastes like steamed spinach with no lemon/seasoning, Meat Fatayer was 90% dough, cheese fatayer had a chunk of feta cheese. Chicken Shawarma Sandwich - Was also not bad 3/5 Also, order was messed up & not enough pita bread (2 pieces)

We ordered 3 Grilled Chicken. Apparently, they were short staffed or what not. But when we got the chicken, they were burnt like black charcoal. The owner's son about 14 years old delivered the food outside at the curb side. I told him to take it back as I can’t eat this burnt chicken. Not healthy at all. He was on the phone with his dad or someone named Hassan. He would not take the chicken back. The mistake we did was we paid in advance. NEVER do that unless you see the cooked food. It was only $57 so I didn’t care that much about the money. The quality was for animals to eat not human beings. The kid gave me his father or the owners number. I texted him the attached photos. He said sorry we can’t do anything. This is the way we grill chicken in Lebanon. Say What? Never ever going back to this place.
