Nice food. I had the chicken and two rice combo. Preferred the more orange rice of the two.
Very nice food.
Clean delicious overall.
The waiter Omar I think his name was and a girl before him were just so great.
I was the last person in the restaurant. I think in its heyday it would have been a real buzz but the restaurant was quiet for a Friday night.
They also have a nice rice pudding desert if you like Kheer or rice pudding. (A similar Indian Dish).
One thing I didn’t like is you have to go up a very dark and not so great lift. A bit scary at night if it’s just one person or if you’re new or a woman. However it is on Main Street and not a big deal. You can take spiral staircase also.

I had an excellent evening at this restaurant. The service staff were professional and attentive, striking a perfect balance between friendliness and efficiency. The food was delicious, with each course arriving on time and beautifully presented. The ambiance was elegant and comfortable, creating a pleasant atmosphere for the meal. It was a dining experience that I would gladly repeat.

We were craving rice yesterday and drove from Soor to give this place a try. The waittress was very friendly and we were seated immediately. We asked about the difference between the bo5ari and the biryani and were told the biryani was a bit spicy and the bo5ari was not. We ordered half a charcoal chicken dish with biryani rice, a large lamb biryani, a small rice sandwich, and 4 cucumber yogurt. The sandwich came first. It was toasted and tasted very good, but the rice tasted strangely sour. The yogurt came next and it was some of the worst I’ve ever had. It literally had no flavor but bland yogurt and cucumber. The 2 rice dishes came last and they came with the 3 sauces- a mild tomato sauce, a spicy tomato sauce, and a “biryani” sauce which I believe was supposed to be raita but completely missed the mark. The food artived warm, not hot. The biryani had a hint of spices and was a little bit spicy, but it also had a strange sour taste. The charcoal chicken was very good, and the lamb was very tender but the lamb portion for the “large” plate was extremely small! It’s also a bit overpriced I mean you are basically eating rice, why does a rice dish cost almost $20?

Tried Kabset Rez in Hamra recently — it’s a casual spot with solid portions and a cozy setup if you’re into rice dishes and shisha. I recommend the Mandi — the rice is super flavorful and well-cooked. The lamb meat was tender and delicious, definitely the highlight of the meal. The chicken, on the other hand, felt pretty average — nothing special. Service was okay, and the place has a relaxed, no-fuss vibe. Great for delivery or a quick meal if you’re nearby.
Rating: 3.5/5
Come for the rice, stay for the lamb — skip the chicken.

One of the few restaurants in beirut that serves that kind of foods! They are specialized in what they do, and they give their customers the best quality possible, very nice try!

The entrance is very conspicuous but as you go up the stairs you will find a very nice roof top restaurant with the finest Lebanese food. Try the lamb kabse
