    Really enjoyed our meal paired with an excellent wine. A quite unique dessert; Angels Hair was new to me. Attentive staff. As always good things come at a price. Worth paying. Really enjoyed our evening.

    Delicious food as always, great atmosphere- even if quite noisy today. Service was surprisingly bad, quite slow, had to ask twice for them to get our orders, brought the wrong wine, and brought the bill before we asked for it. I must clarify that I come here often and service had always been good.

    Food was better before.. a bit bland some dishes but good in general and nice place. A bit too expensive for what it is

    Delicious as always, great terrace, somewhat slow service towards the end (difficult to get a waiter to not that we wanted the check). Still one of my favorites in Geneva, very recommendable

    Great food as always. A real pleasure to sit in the terrace. Rather slow service today, which normally isn’t the case. I still love and recommend this place a lot.

    I have eaten at Balila several times. This time, my experience was disappointing. The pitta bread was not fresh and over-baked But what made this experience truly disappointing is that I was charged twice for the meal. Although I returned to the restaurant to resolve the issue, the restaurant manager was extremely unhelpful. Still waiting for the issue to be resolved.

    Terrible service! Our meat was served cold, the kofta were cold from inside and when we asked the manager to get us a new plate she refused and reheated the meat. They even charged us for dates without advising they we not complimentary. Never going back!

    Le cadre est magnifique, the hotel is central, the food is very good and probably the best Lebanese dishes in Geneva. The quieter side of the restaurant is good for intimacy and the Salle Principale best for ambiance.

    Cosy, warm lighting, newly refurbished. Food was tasty, good portions but nothing exceptional. Service could have been more timely, had to wait a while for attention.

    Great food and service from Rayan, Mazen, and Kamel. This was some of the best food we had in Switzerland. The restaurant was nicely decorated and very welcoming, except for the maitre d' who was too busy to acknowledge us with a basic courtesy of a hello, even though the restaurant was not busy at all on a Sunday night. It would also have been nice to have met the chef as we loved the food. Other than that, the food, the ambience and service, other than the maitre d' was excellent.
