Lebanon , Beirut.
A small seafood restaurant with a display of the day’s fresh catch. The interior is bright and pleasant, with plenty of wood and large windows that bring in natural light and create a cozy atmosphere. There is also a small terrace for outdoor seating.
FOOD:
This is a seafood-focused restaurant with a fairly compact menu, but there is also a fresh seafood display where you can choose items such as squid, shrimp, fish, and oysters.
We tried octopus prepared two ways — grilled and sautéed in oil with garlic. In both cases the octopus was extremely tender. It likely undergoes some form of pre-marination, as it had a subtle lemon note and a very delicate texture. My favorite was the version cooked in oil and garlic.
We also had white fish ceviche. I appreciated that the fish still tasted fresh and natural rather than overly marinated in citrus. The dressing had acidity, but it complemented the delicate flavor of the fish rather than overpowering it.
The tempura shrimp were excellent — large, juicy shrimp with a very light and crispy coating. They are served individually and come with a dipping sauce.
Another highlight was their spiced potatoes — incredibly crispy on the outside and soft inside. Be careful, they are very addictive.
We also tried raw shrimp, which were fantastic, though they are not always available and need to be confirmed in advance. Slightly sweet with a delicate texture and elegant flavor, served simply with salt.
Everything we tried was delicious and very fresh.
SERVICE:
Service was excellent and friendly. We visited twice and each time felt genuinely welcomed. The food arrives quickly, and the restaurant also serves complimentary snacks at the table.
VERDICT:
A very good seafood restaurant. Reservations might be necessary, as both times we visited the place was completely full. Everything was fresh and flavorful. A great spot to enjoy seafood in a relaxed and casual atmosphere.
Fried sultan Ibrahim and malifa were delicious
A grilled white fish followed again done to perfection. This is the epitome of a good restaurant decor is simple however, all the effort goes into procuring and cooking the freshest fish and vegetables. I will definitely go there again and will try to take my friends for fresh fish over there.
The hummus was excellent and so was the Motabal
I hope they really maintain that philosophy of serving nothing but the best and freshest fish
Manager couldn’t be nicer and gave me his cell phone number for future reservations
Let me start with the positives – the seafood dishes we ordered were all fresh and cooked to perfection. The flavors were well-balanced and the portions were generous.
However, our positive experience was tarnished by the rude and dismissive behavior of the owners. From the moment we walked in, they seemed uninterested in making us feel welcome. They were short with us on whatever we asked and seemed annoyed having new customers.
While the quality of the food was excellent, the owners’ behavior left a bad taste in our mouths. It’s disappointing to see such disregard for restoration basics.
I would NOT recommend this place!
There are many other excellent fish restaurants in the area.
Beside that, the Staff are so welcoming and the vibes are so warm & cozy. ✨✨ highly recommended!!

+ enjoy a glass of the Cloud 9 white wine.
One of the items which was my least favorite was their version of ceviche (it was good, but I’ve tried better). You’ll enjoy the rest!
From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The décor is cosy, simple yet elegant, with nautical touches. But the real star of the show here is the food. Every dish is expertly prepared with the freshest ingredients available, and the flavors are simply divine. The service at Kelly’s is also top-notch. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure you have a memorable dining experience.
Overall, I highly recommend Kelly’s for anyone who appreciates good seafood. The food is fantastic, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is perfect for a relaxing and enjoyable meal.
