"Very pleasant, welcoming and attentive staff. Great choice of authentic dishes which are invariably excellent with well-balanced spices and lots of delicious herbs. The Lebanese wine is excellent and great value for money - well worth sampling!"

"I took off one star solely for the lack of attentiveness from the staff. I was looking over their direction many times to no avail. I don't like people calling out loud to a waiter. I feel they sauntered around and the vibe was like a teenage in their first jobs when the boss isn't looking. Compared to other eateries I thought the staff here could make the effort to be more productive and attentive to the customer as they are enjoying their meal. It was quiet only 2 more small tables so for me there was no excuse.
Food was tasty. Would have liked some form of sauce or dip with the grill as meat was a bit dry. Portions were decent. The cheese flatbread starter was very nice. Lebanese rice very good and the lemon potato. I should have asked for no coriander I didn't expect it on the dish but God I really do hate the stuff.
Would visit again just think some constructive feedback in regards to checking in with customers and seeing do they need anything else once or twice In the meal is a more engaging experience."

"Halal food. Very delicious 🍲ethentic Lebanese cuisine. Staff is friendly, prices are very reasonable, (€10-€20 per person depending on your choice) portions are very generous. There are vegetarian options as well. They provide sheesha there as well, if you like, but I think for that it's some fix time not sure but you can enquire in advance. Loads of deserts as well if you have sweet tooth.Decorations is very traditional. Must go restaurant. ❤️"

El líbano está situado al oeste de Asia, y aunque su gastronomía se considera más mediterránea que asiática nos hemos atrevido a incluirla en nuestra lista. Al Amir queda cerca de la Plaza del Charco (al lado de El Rolón), la carta es variada, la comida buena y abundante, ofrecen un plato degustación para dos personas donde podrás probar todas las especialidades típicas libanesas, si ya conoces este tipo de comida, deberías atreverte a pedir otros platos, no te defraudarán. Buena atención y ambiente.
