6/10Food is good, but the service varies a lot. Now, the ambience is quite simple, but get ready to be smelling after. Better to sit outside

3.5/10I am a big fan of Lebanese food, but this place missed the mark. We ordered the Moutabel (smoked eggplant) as a cold appetizer which was heavy on the tahini and oil. We also ordered the Spicy Potatoes as a warm appetizer which were not very flavorful and a bit hard. For the main dishes, I ordered a Chicken Shwarma wrap which was filled with iceberg lettuce, pickles, and dried out chicken pieces. My partner ordered the Kofta (ground beef) wrap which he said had good flavor, but wasn't great. The service was not friendly at all. We didn't finish our meals and asked to take the leftovers to go. When I asked for a bag to carry the items home, I was told that it was 1 euro for a sack. Our total bill with a 30% discount was $32 - way overpriced for the experience. Definitely not a repeat.

8.5/10The food was very tasty. The place is not super cozy but cozier than the other reviews suggested. The service was uneven - we got the food before the drinks. I did not feel very welcome but that might have to do with us not speaking Portuguese, so communication was a bit hindered. I was pleasantly surprised that they honored the 30 pct discount from the Fork.

9/10Food is delicious. Staff is very nice. The space is clean but small. The decoration and comfort could be improved. The layout of the restaurant has the tables directly exposed to the entrance door always open which exposes people to cold and wind. Apart from that everything is really good.

8.5/10Made a reservation for a company lunch with short notice and they were able to accommodate us. The restaurant is not very large, so it's probably not the best place for groups above 12 people, but we were only 8 so it worked well. The service was good and the food was tasty. The quantities of the main dishes are very generous, so don't get too excited with the mezze if you want to have some room! We made that rookie mistake so there was no room left for desert. The prices were OK, overall it was a good experience.

6.5/10The food was delicious but unfortunately the atmosphere is almost like going to mcdonald’s. I hoped it could be more romantic, but we were sitting at a “plastic” table in a “hospital” atmosphere. The staff was nice! But neither we or the table next to us got any glass to the beer. After eating the amazing food we did not feel sitting there for a long time. We had the humus (very good), labane (very good), halloumi (not so special), green salat with tomato and cucumber (not so special) and some meatballs (very good).

7.5/10The food is very nice - I was quite sad that quite a few of our chosen options were missing (not all cocktails, partial food options like regular cold Hummus instead of the hot Mussabacha etc). The place is incredibly noisy - I asked to sit outside cause I couldn't hear my friend talking - I think some soundproofing of the walls / ceiling can really improve this.

4.5/10They did not have the chicken shawarma, which to us was disappointing, we will try to come back another time

9.5/10The food is incredible and you are welcomed by the kindest and most genuine staff! Unfortunately some options from the menu weren't available at the time due to national holiday. But this just means that we will have to go back to taste those. Definetly THE place to go for amazing food and experience in Lisbon

9/10Second time in this restaurant and would definitely go back again. The food is just delicious and the drinks are also very good. The restaurant itself is very small but feels very cozy, the only downside is that it doesn’t have air con and in summer it can get very warm inside. The service a bit slow but staff is very friendly and helpful, they recommended the most typical meals and took the time to explain what each are, which was appreciated as my parents had never tried Lebanese food.

10/10Ola Beirut is the prime example of bang for your buck. The food is simply perfect, easily the best Lebanese I have tried in Lisbon. I come here often and always leave happy

9.5/10We found Ola Beirut - a new family run Lebanese/Middle Eastern restaurant - recently. 4 of us originally visited this Monday; I really enjoyed the pink lemonade, Bloody Marry (that's how they spell it!), and hummus with chicken shwarma. So, 3 of us went again yesterday. Once again, the service was friendly, the food great, and the drinks good. The prices also represent good value for money (especially with the 30% Fork Discount!), although our spend was quite high because of our many drinks. My new favourite dish is sujuk, which Chef Osman made specially for us with kofta instead of sausage - it was DELICIOUS. So, I'd definitely return again, and would also recommend to this to others . I've eaten at a few of the new and old Middle Eastern restaurants in Lisbon, and BEIRUIT is definitely my favourite.

10/10The best Lebanese restaurant in Lisbon. We went two times this week, and every meal was perfect. The passion and love the chef puts into his creations give them excellent flavor and textures—five stars in food, cleaning, and service.

9.5/10We tried hummus, falafel and chicken shoarma wrap, the food was great (especially hummus and falafel). The service was really fast and friendly. The place is clean and cosy, music is played (it was a bit loud for us, though).

3/10The ambience was terrible, with lots of noise and the staff was not super welcoming. The inside was super hot with smell of food. They took 1h just to bring an appetizer and one plate.
