We had a wonderful iftar here! The food was absolutely delicious, and everything was fresh and well prepared. The service was awesome β€” the staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive throughout the evening. It made the whole experience even more special. The kids loved it too, which says a lot! Highly recommend this place for a family-friendly iftar. We’ll definitely be coming back πŸ˜„

This was our second time in Laheeb and we enjoyed it so much! The service is amazing, the staff super friendly and attentive. Food is good. We had lamb chops and mixed grill and it was excellently seasoned. The lamb chops were grilled to perfection – I had never had lamb chops that were so juicy – chef’s kiss!
Highly recommend and will be coming back for more.

We went to check out their new weekend breakfast buffet, and it was my first time trying a Middle Eastern breakfast. They offered a large variety of items. As a non Arab, it would have been helpful to have labels in front of each dish so I could identify what they were.

Another concern is that I am allergic to honey. One of the cheeses contained honey, but without an allergy disclaimer or even the name of the dish, I did not realize this until after I ate it and my throat began to feel itchy. They should be more mindful of allergy disclosures.

The semolina soup tasted very good, and I really enjoyed some of the dips, although once again, I was not sure what they were called. They provide pita bread, but it would be nicer if it were served once you are seated. Otherwise, it sits on the table and becomes cold or stale.

I also found it odd that water is not offered and that you have to purchase bottled water instead. Since we went an hour before their buffet closed, majority of the food items were already a-bit cold so I guess they don’t replenish them as often.

I booked a table for two at Laheeb Elite (Bank & Rosebella) for a business meeting, and the experience was absolutely outstanding. From the start, Br. Osama, the owner, personally arranged the setup and ensured everything was perfect for our meeting.

Our host, Sister Chaime, was exceptionally welcoming and courteous. She explained the menu in both Arabic and English with such friendliness and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit.

We ordered the Mixed Mashawi Grill platter along with all the traditional appetizers β€” babaghanouj, hummus, salad, and rice with nuts. The flavors were truly authentic and among the best I’ve ever had.

Excellent hospitality, warm atmosphere, and delicious food. Highly recommended for both business and family gatherings.

Wow, this place is truly amazing! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, welcoming, and family-friendly. The service was absolutely perfect: the staff made sure we had everything we needed without ever being intrusive. What stood out the most, of course, was the food. Every single dish that came to our table was bursting with flavour and felt like it had been prepared with real care and attention to detail.

We ordered the family platter for six, and it was one of the best decisions we could have made. The portions were generous, and every item on the platter had its own unique taste, spices, and texture. From the tender, perfectly seasoned kebabs to the juicy grilled chicken and the fresh vegetables, everything was spot on. The hummus and baba ghanoush were creamy, smooth, and drizzled with just the right amount of olive oil, and the kibbeh was crispy on the outside while deliciously savoury on the inside. Even the fries, which we thought might be just a simple side, ended up being so flavourful and satisfying.

By the end of the meal, we were happily stuffed and already talking about when we’d come back. If you’re looking for a place with incredible flavours, excellent service, and a welcoming vibe, this is it. Seriously, you’ve got to try it. Highly recommended!
