It was said on this site that is alcohol free, however they have a full blown choice of wines and even have things on the menu made with wine. To be fair the meat was good, however for the price you pay, the portions are very small, and we will not be going there again.
Had the grilled mince lammb with rice, salad and a little okra and bread. This plus a bottle of chilled water came to €15 including tip. Food was good and plentiful. Small family run cafe. Owner is from Lebanon. Been in Malta for 25 years. About 5 minutes walk from where sightseeing buses depart. I would go back again if in the area.
Recommended by the island's imam, this family-run, basic, cafe-style restaurent serves delicious soups. However, the lamb tajine was a little oily for my tastes. A warm welcome and cozy atmosphere compensate.
One of the best Lebanese restaurants I’ve ever been to — not just in Malta, but anywhere. The food is genuinely authentic, full of flavour, and immediately brought back childhood memories of proper Lebanese home cooking. Every dish was fresh, perfectly balanced, and clearly made with care. What really sets this place apart is the hospitality. The host was incredibly warm, welcoming, and made us feel like guests rather than customers — something that’s becoming rare these days. This is not a tourist spot or a watered-down version of Lebanese food. It’s the real thing. Highly recommended and absolutely worth going out of your way for.
