El Emir

Food is pretty good, but a very pricy restaurant. They charged for water and ketchup which was kind of ridiculous. Location is ideal. Server was kind. They are halal certified.

Horrible service (it took ages to get whatever we asked for although the place wasn't that crowded). Food wasn't as tasty as it should be compared to how pricy it is. What made it a complete disaster is how rude and arrogant the owner of the place is. I don't recommend anyone to go there as it is a waste of time and money!

Very expensive! Food is not that good! There are 2 in Prague one in Palladium is better.

Very nice restaurant to enjoy the Lebanese food. The ambiance is great (even though the restaurant is located in the shopping mall, top floor of Palác Palladium), but is very well decorated. The food is Halal (that is what all the waiters told me). The portions of the food are quite big (atleast we found them very filling) and the taste of the food is awesome. Definitely, will like to go back to the place), though it is a bit pricey!

El Emir can be found inside the Palác Palladium shopping centre. It's on Republic Square and easy to find. We really enjoyed the veggie meze starter and mussaka which we had with the main course. Be warned the portions are on the large side (It seems to be the norm in Prague). We ordered mixed grill for two and only then did we realise the dishes were huge. To be fair the waitor did try and explain that if we were hungry (then order two dishes). Service was fairly quick and we sat in the non-smoking section, see the link for more photos. The debit card bill came to £47.51 (20th June 2010) but it would have been less. We both eat heartily and we had plenty left over on our plates. (http://www.elemir.cz/index.php?lang=1). I enjoyed it and I would eat there again.

Food was. A littlepricey but quality was good and portion sizes very big. we ordered one starter and two main meals for the two of us. We had the leftovers packed up and this was sufficient for dinner later in the evening. Alcohol is served though at this restaurant.

This restaurant is located on the top floor of the Palladium shopping mall. We asked the waitress if it was halal and when pressed she showed us the halal certificate. The restaurant is nice and clean. Good atmosphere. The food is the usual Lebanese fare - chicken, lamb, etc. It is good well and the chicken and lamb both tasted fresh. Service was a little slow but with halal restaurants a premium in Prague this is a nice place.

After visiting the Museum of Communism (where we spent about 2 hours), there was still plenty of daylight so we let my stepson decide which area he wanted to explore. We chanced upon a charming mall close to the city center. We all decided to get Lebanese food for dinner at El Emir at the food court which was decent for a food court. $47 for 3 people is a fair price for such a touristy city. I’d rate them no more than 3 stars since the food was just okay. I’ve definitely had better. My stepson and I both had chicken shawarma (he had the sandwich and I had the plate) and my husband had a grilled chicken on skewers plate. We all thought the seasoning could have been better. The guy at the counter was not the friendliest either. It actually felt rushed. This was in a food court area but the setup is much different than most food courts I’ve been to. This discourages cross ordering which is actually what I appreciate about food courts.
