    Great service and nice falafel starter, but the main dishes were very average.

    The food was really good and the owner was very friendly. We had the Fork discount so the prices were good but in general if we had to pay the regular price, I think the quantity was less for actual prices charged.

    Restroom doesn't have a lock. It also doesn't have water in the sink. But it has soap. So I ended up with my hands covered in soap, but with no water to wash it off. So I had to go the ladies room, where there was water in the sink. But the lock in that door was absent as well. Food was good. Service was very long. I do not recommend.

    Very mediocre food, unlike most Libanese food in other restaurants. We ordered an extensive number of entrees. Most of them had no taste. The main course was served 5 minutes after the entrees and was cold when we could start eating it. And, last but not least, a Ribera del Duero of reasonable quality was served at a temperature of 4 or 5 degrees Celcius!

    We arrived early and were made to feel very welcome. Our waiter with his limited English walked us through our first time using the fork as the booking had not been confirmed - which was swiftly managed by the waiter. Ordering food was simple and assistance provided by the waiter. Food was amazing. Even the kids gave it a thumbs up. Authentic presentation and taste. A very relaxed setting for a wonderful meal. We highly recommend if you have not tried Arabic food albeit our choices were very Moroccan.

    There are very few places in Barcelona where you can find authentic, home-cooked Lebanese & Moroccan food at reasonable prices. The hospitality was incredible. You felt as if you were welcomed into their home rather than dining in a restaurant. And the food was delicious - each dish was filled with flavor. We will be back!

    The food is very tasty and the service was fantastic. The Meze menu is very well served, the falafel is very tasty and the lamb rice is incredible. The owner of the restaurant is very sweet and the service was wonderful. I highly recommend it.

    Amazing food if you want some Lebanese and Arab dishes. Quick service and lovely owner, with plenty of traditional dishes made of tasty meat or vegetarian meals. Surely a place I would recommend

    The most authentic Arabic cuisine in Barcelona. Also the owner is one of the nicest in the city, takes care of every customer and treats personally. For 2 or 3 I strongly recommend Menu degustación - you will taste a variety of plates and leave the place with a full belly. I came 3 or 4 times already and will definitely come back. Strong 10/10

    Everything was great with this this restaurant. We were a little confused between the sampling menus, but the waitress suggested the 22€ Per person sampler and it was just the right amount food. The food was very tasty and the waitress and cook were very happy and nice. Great dining experience and would recommend!

    We was greeted by the lovely Assir who took us to our table. She explained the menu and the discount we could get for our booking. We had the hummus which was very creamy and the Arabica salad to start, followed by lamb and vegetable tagine and chicken biriani. It was all tasty, served up nicely and Assir was the perfect host. The only complaint we had was that the mains arrived before we finished our starters. We know for next time to order these after starters.

    Food is really good, you can tell it has true Arabian influences and its very well priced. What makes this place incredible is the service. The owner treated us like family and was very considerate and detail oriented. I will definitely come back.

    Please correct the description to avoid more misunderstandings or confusing: I have to say this is my worst order experience on fork ever. Firstly, the instructions on app have too many mistakes. 1. It said English and French spoken, but people can understand neither. 1 point for the staff who also tried her best for us to understand though we knew she also kept complaining. She called someone for help but didn't help a lot. In all, it's the beginning of the "disaster" meal. We should have left but we were too hungry. 2. We tried to order as the fork showed us: the 22 euros menu for 2 person.(if i see it correctly) But they cannot understand at all(no idea why they have this on phone if they don't offer it) 3. Payment: We were told what we ordered was excluded from the discount on fork. Then, why should we spend almost 30 minutes for ordering before??? 4. The meal looked colourful and not too bad. But it's not indeed worthy as "22 euros per person". Kinda of being cheated by 9.3/10 based on more than 4000 reviews mark. Of course, maybe it's our problems since its quality was ruined for the unpleasant order experience. It is understandable that people at certain age are not familiar with the smart phone stuff. However, if you are not available to make it, please tell us directly instead of confusing. Would not recommend it if 1)you cannot speak Spanish or Arabic 2) you are very hungry 3) you are not a curious foodie

    far away from being fancy or snobbish, but good ambiance pretty familiar, the food is really good and the servers (owners) do the extra mile,”if you want another beer, not a problem I’ll give you with no extra cost” “If you want more of something (we asked for tasting BIG plate) let me know I’ll bring it to you for free” Price is more than good 22 Euros for Menu, including beverages (beer) desserts and regular or Turkish coffee. Definitely I’ll repeat.

    This place offers the discount under conditions. The staff is very rude. We would recommend for the staff not to be so pushing and loud, the customers feel confused and manipulated to order more and pay more. It was not a good experience.

    While this restaurant seemed really nice at first and the owner/waitress was super approachable and keen to make us have a good time. Even though we confirmed about being vegan (and she keep telling that it was OK and she knew about all that and we could eat and be reassured it'd be OK) they made the couscous with meat and we only noticed when it was in our mouth... After that they tried to erase that displeasure changing the dish without apologising and after we paid we noticed they had even charged us double for a degustation menu it was supposed to be shared among two and be 22eu and ended up being 44eu.. The portions weren't too generous either and we left feeling more disappointed than anything else.
