From Time Out Dubai Eating Out 2008

This local chain is almost as old as the city itself and has become an institution. Their approach is winningly simple – solid if unspectacular Lebanese food at good prices, in clean and spacious family restaurants.

At this simply furnished branch, the staff are exceptionally polite, and the food is very well priced. Try the lamb meat with tomatoes, onions and rice, which comes with hordes of pine nuts and a rich tomato sauce, and perfectly fresh and tasty mezze.

The mixed grills are well portioned and contain succulent fillings of beef, lamb and chicken, and the bread is thin, warm and very good indeed.
