What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable rave about the authentic Lebanese flavors, generous portions, and welcoming family-run service. The hummus, shawarma, and falafel are consistent favorites, with many guests calling Garage Beirut a “hidden gem” in the downtown core. Diners love that it's affordable without sacrificing quality, and many say the food is just as good—or better—than what they’ve had in Lebanon.

Areas for Improvement

The space is on the smaller side, so it can feel a bit tight during the dinner rush. If you're heading there with a group before a big show, it’s best to arrive early or call ahead. Also, while it's not a fine-dining experience, that’s part of the charm—don’t expect luxury, expect flavor.
