La Roche Lebanese Cuisine

This restaurant is beautiful and elegant, but even without the aesthetics the food is a perfect 10. The mixed kabob (lamb, beef, and chicken) dinner and potatoes were plenty for 2 people to share. Service was lovely. We will definitely be back--next time instead of potatoes, I would like to try one of their appetizers I am not familiar with. I am so happy to have been able to try Lebanese food in Memphis :)

Both considering what was in this place beforehand and standalone as a new restaurant, this is one of the easiest 5 stars a Memphian could find to give on Yelp. Everything top to bottom was excellent - the service, the food, the restaurant/space. All of it was top notch and on top of that, there just aren't many options for Lebanese food so this restaurant also fills a void.Our table basically treated this like a try everything experience, and I'm glad we did - I would highly suggest it, given there are so many great things on the menu. For apps, the muhammara was an excellent roasted pepper and chili dip (and that's coming from someone who isn't the biggest fan of hummus style dips); the kibbeh was de-li-cious; and the potato harra are a must (you might think potatoes are basic, but they do them well!). We then split the lamb chops and the mix grill entrees, and all of it was great. I thought the lamb chops were a little bit fatty, though I don't mind that, and one of the beef meats was a little dry; however, that's being nit picky. I was quite impressed by the chicken - really well done and moist.All in all, you can't go wrong here. Put it on the list and make it a date night soon.

Ate here for the first time last night and loved it. The ambiance and feel is very nice , the service was super friendly and the food was delicious. There was 3 of us and we ordered several appetizers and then also a mixed grill skewers ( 3 skewers , chicken , beef, lamb). Was plenty to eat. We dug in immediately and I wasn't able to get pics of the food. This is a great addition to the Cooper / Young area and I'm confident they will get a lot of repeat budine

I am so glad this spot opened in Cooper-Young - it's amazing! It's decorated in a clean and beautiful way. All of the food was full of flavor, hot and fresh. Make sure you ask about specials of the day; my husband got the lamb chops platter and the chops were tender, juicy and well-seasoned. I got the falafel platter which was delicious and a great option for vegetarians! You must also order the hot tea (just know that it is caffeinated). I will definitely be back because the food was incredible!

I love Mediterranean food so I was hoping this was going to be good. First of all the place is beautiful, warm and inviting. The service was very attentive with a smile it was almost as if I had been there before. They do have outdoor seating but it had been raining most of the day so I decided against it, although there were people eating outside. The interior decor was nice lots of warm blues and gold accents throughout. I ordered the Lamb & Beef Kafta Kabobs with rice, grilled pepper, onion, tomato, hummus, garlic sauce and bread. That bread had a little spice to it and it was FIRE! So good I could have placed a second order of the bread, hummus and garlic sauce to go. The kabobs and rice were also amazing. I also ordered hot mint tea and it was also delicious. This will not be my last time eating at this restaurant. Well done!

We stumbled upon La Roche after church last Sunday. I have such a love for authentic cuisine from different parts of the world and Lebanese was one that I hadn't yet enjoyed. The inside of the restaurant is quaint and beautiful. It was a little cooler than our group preferred, so we opted for the patio. It was overcast, so the temperature was perfect for our meal. The waitstaff was so kind and accommodating. They patiently helped us with the menu and made sure that we were happy with our meals. I ordered the Chicken Sheesh Tauok and hubby had the vegetarian plate. Both were more than ample plates and, while there was enough food for a second serving, it was delectable enough that we didn't need to consider that option! Hands down will return to this establishment to enjoy this beautiful cuisine again and hope to bring more friends to introduce them to it as well.

The best meal I've had in Memphis in a long time. So fresh and flavorful, so many different textures and good seasoning. We split the mixed grill and tabouli. Enough for 2 but it was so good I could have eaten more! Lots of outdoor seating on the porch. We will be back! No wine/liquor.

This is the first time me trying this place it was recommended to eat here it was amazing the owners wonted to hold my baby she was sleeping i was holding her as i eat so that was pretty nice of them to ask me i go to many restaurants and they don't even ask if you need a high chair but this restaurant was on it and ready to serve on point food was amazing its very light cooked to perfection I have the falafel platter and the baklava that was really delicious kids meal baby finally woke up to eat nuggs and fries they have can drinks 3$ thats the downside but other than that the ambience is amazing quite cool seating very comfortable staff are very friendly i would come back again

Lovely, fresh food and friendly service in an adorable bungalow. They're just getting on their feet but the flavors are exceptional. Really excited to be a regular here.A constructive critique:When servers walk out to refill water, they should refill ALL the waters. Wasted opportunity when you walk by the other tables.That said, super minor feedback... see you next time!

The food was amazing! It was like being in someone's kitchen. I loved the vegetarian platter (which came with a baggie of fresh pita bread) and on the platter itself. It had baba ghanoush hummus two falafel's a fresh salad, grilled eggplant, grilled cauliflower and a pepper relish. Little bit of everything. My only disappointment was I ordered a baklava to take home and when I opened the container, there were three very tiny cellophane wrapped baklava so I was disappointed that it wasn't homemade. The service was excellent highly recommend! I sat outside and it was good people watching the inside looked a little stark.
