    The food was nothing extraordinary. The portions were very small for the price you pay. The brunch option i chose (traditional Lebanese breakfast) was not possible to eat for me. It was too sour from lemon juice and it had plenty of raw garlic. The staff kindly agreed to change the option. I chose the omelet with halloumi cheese. It was good but nothing special tbh. For me it is not the place to come back.

    The food and service was amazing. There are some rooms more cosy then others, but still a very pleasant experience.

    The food was delicious, fresh, and amazingly seasoned. The falafel, schwarma, and hummus alone were enough to return, but the pomegranate cheesecake set it over the top. The Ismalye was also very good.

    Lovely Lebanese restaurant with a wonderful solution for four friends. They offer an assorted menu for four people that was enough for all of us.. The terrace was quieter than the inside which had music playing. The staff was young and cheerful, which was great. I recommend booking in advance, it is an highly touristic part of town.

    The food and drinks were good enough, but the service and dining experience was a mess. The menu is only via QR code so it took some time to scroll this PDF menu on our phones. A paper menu would be much preferred. We ordered two mezze items as starters and two main courses for after. However they brought out all the food at once! We had made a reservation for dinner and did not want to be done eating in 20 minutes. I tried to explain and they took away just one of the main plates for when we were ready (no apology). Both the main course wrap and the shish plate could use sauce as they were a bit dry. Typically tahini or garlic or even piri piri. The cocktails were excellent but they never asked if we wanted another. Also some children were playing near the bar (just a few tables away) as a family were waiting for a takeaway order. Overall a disappointing dining experience which was very surprising given the location in the trendy Principe Real neighborhood.

    The food tasted really good. We ask the “mess Beirut “ for 2 people but was enough for three. The employees were kind and the space well decorated .

    It was wonderful little place with a thoughtful interior and great food. our server (girl with short hair, we are terrible with remembering names) was great and helpful even though she her english was not fluent. we spent our new years eve dinner here and since it is close from barrio alto, you are not far away from vibrant night life of lisboa. we took a menu to share for 2 people called mesa beirut and food was light and tasty ,with price point around 42 euros which we thought was fair enough to the portion and variety . If you want to try something different in lisboa from usual italian or portuguese food then definitely a place to be. Highly recommended

    Excellent food. The Mezze plate is great. Can be a bit cold in the back part of the restaurant, but the waiters are friendly and will make sure you are comfortable.

    Have been to this restaurant a couple of times and the food has always been very good, especially the grilled meats. The service was also fast and attentive. The only small negative is that the door was left open and the restaurant inside was quite cold

    The waiter didn’t apply the 30% discount and in addition she was asking for 40 euros per person which resulting of having 90 euros more paid, we have been reinbursed but on a table of 15 persons we could have missed it and lost 190 euros… The service was slow as well, we waited for so long to have beverage each time! The food was amazing

    We had such a great meal at Sumaya! The service was excellent and the food was so good, I’m already pushing for the next visit! We sat outside which is very cute. I recommend getting some sharing options as everything was tasty so it’s a great way to try lots of dishes!
