Beirut

We are long time fans - kicked ourselves because we didn't yelp them before. Best Mediterranean restaurant in Toledo. Sorry Poco! Tonight when we came in...and there were no seats at the bar...we almost left! But Catherine said just enjoy the booth in the bar and we are glad you are here. Then Magly waited on us in a booth near the bar. Excellent service. And she didn't even worry that we moved to the bar when there was an opening. And the there was Jameson at the bar! Always exceptional and the epitome of great service. Thank you all for who you are and who you always are!

The food was really good and well seasoned. The. Baklava was just the right amount of sweetness and not drowning in the sweet stuff. The hummus has a nice flavor. The wait staff was efficient and attentive. It was very cold in the restaurant. The decor was great for the restaurant. Looking forward to going back.

This is my third visit to this restaurant. It is the only place where I would trust eating raw Kibbe. Everything on the menu is exceptional. The Fattoush tastes great but I think it was cut up too big and missing lettuce. Their grilled meats are tender, flavorful, and large portions. We ordered a side of hummus, a side of Kibbe, a side of falafel, and the grilled meat platter combo for two. There were four of us, and we could not finish what was in front of us. The service is outstanding, the prices are extremely reasonable, and the food is phenomenal.If you're going for the decor, this is not your place. The place probably has not been updated since 1972 :-) but that will not stop me from going back again and again.

This place is obviously a favorite of the locals. There were a lot of greetings to regular patrons. We were seated in the bar area. Dim lighting and fun lamps made the ambiance very pleasant. Our server was a lovely young lady who was about to go to college at UM. We had shish kebab, chicken skewer, grape leaves, arayes, hummus, pita, and olives. The food was the best Lebanese I have had in years. My husband had a wonderful intro to this cuisine. We also had baklava and Turkish coffee. I will return here often during my three month stay in Toledo.

I've been coming to the Beirut for more than 25 years (egad) and the food is consistently wonderful! Artichoke heart appetizer and Beirut's Best....yum. this place us still insanely popular. The only loss I feel is the fresh out of the oven pita bread in wonderful soft pillows. Tonight, some of my pita was actually stale. Ouch.

4.5I had dinner tonight at The Beirut with a very close friend and we wanted to catch up before ordering. We arrived earlier than the usual dinner crowd (approximately 4:30pm). Our server was in a hurry to have us order and we were initially puzzled by the rush. My friend inquired about a drink menu or wine list and was simply told they had a full bar and she could get whatever she wanted except Sangria (ha!). My friend had hoped to see a drink list for inspiration but no offer of any type of menu. So my friend ordered a Cosmopolitan without knowing what was in it (except for Googling it). I ordered a Chardonnay without knowing the choices- because our server didn't give us a drink or wine menu. I later realized there was an unoaked Chardonnay available (based on a dimly lit sign on the table). Fortunately, a new server took over after the first server had left for the day (perhaps tired at end of shift and hoping we would order quickly?) Our new server was spectacular!! She exchanged my Chardonnay for an unoaked glass and offered a wine/drink list. She was also very attentive to us and provided honest answers to our questions about various menu options. For appetizers, we had the sauteed zucchini and sauteed mushrooms. They were both fabulous, along with a huge helping of pita bread. My friend had a beef Shawarma with rice. She enjoyed it and ordered the same for her son as a Carryout before we left. I had the Shish Tawook with two chicken breasts and rice plus Garlic Sauce (they charge $1.50 for a tiny plastic container- which our server pointed out, but which was necessary to make the dish tasty.) Honestly, it's irksome that the restaurant chooses not to include this condiment with the meal, as it would be very bland without it! Nevertheless, our dinners were delicious as we ordered them.In all, we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and would return again and highly recommend The Beirut!

I get the hype now, food was super yummy and portion sizes were much larger than expected. Beef kebab was my favorite! The waitress was also very nice and helpful. Would love to come here again soon

An eclectic mix of Lebanese and Italian food, but pretty decent nonetheless. Met my cousin and his partner here, during the long Thanksgiving weekend. Was a childhood "go to" spot for his partner, and she wanted us to experience it.We ordered a mess of dishes to share, including: a fattoush salad, hummus, baba ghanouj, kabob and such platter along with a sausage / pepperoni / mushroom pizza. The Lebanese dishes were all really excellent and the pizza was just average in our opinion.These items were more than enough for four people to share, and we ended up taking several to-go boxes home with us to enjoy over the next several days.I would most certainly return here to try other Mediterranean dishes on the menu.

Always love this place. Delicious options. The Ara-yes are one of our favorites!!!! Staff is helpful. I will be back.

I love the food at this restaurant,BUT the gnats were all over our food and drinks, it was awful. We spoke to the waitress who knew about how bad they were but said the restaurant had a deep clean. Not deep enough. This makes me sad , love the food but not the bugs.
