I’ve always been a fan of Al Balad, the first authentic Lebanese restaurant with a twist where, flavors and colors are all mixed together to come up with fine oriental delicacies that you will definitely enjoy.  I won’t go into the complete process of describing the place and its staff since I’ve already done so many times. I’ll focus on the food, tastes and flavors.
A Premiere in Town: A Lebanese Restaurant’s Tasty Breakfast Al Balad Dbayeh: Try their Set Menu Al Balad: Blueberry Square’s Lebanese Restaurant
I’ve been hearing some minor comments about the food; I would like to confirm and guarantee that the experience I had was amazingly good.
  • Hommos al Balad: light orange in color with a subtle touch of spices is filled with kawarma. The texture is delicious and every bite had a distinct taste

  • Hummos was as good as it should be
  • Tabboule was nice: I enjoyed munching on some fresh tomatoes and freshly cut parsley seasoned with a strong lemon zest
  • Lahme beajine is a must try: Thin and crunchy covered with a generous portion of meat. I enjoyed the sweet aftertaste. I loved it

  • Then came the queen of the night: Meat with almonds and dates. The meat was tender and served with crunchy almonds and tender dates, which added an enjoyable sweet touch. A unique and innovative creation that was very yummy. I will come back just to have this…
  • Uff!!! Have you ever tried their halloum covered with fried almonds? Please do… It will make you moan unconsciously

  • Four balls of Kebbe Sajieh filled with meat, spicy red sauce and butter. Pay attention when biting into it not to spill it all over your clothes. Prepare to enjoy a hundred flavors in one single creation. I loved it
  • Chicken fried rolls are an invention that combines east and west together into a lovely piece of delicacy
  • Fattouch is freshly served
  • Even the mini baked potatoes are tasty, although the creamy sauce contained a bit too much garlic for my taste, but you will definitely enjoy it
  • To end this great story, we ordered a mixed grill platter: Juicy chicken taouk, perfectly well marinated meat skewer, crispy kafta – all tasty, juicy with an interesting grilling aftertaste. A generous portion of fried potato cubes and grilled vegetables accompany the grilled platter.
I’ll fix:
  • Provide brown bread when a client asks
  • Change the ashtrays with ones that have no cigarette support. Anyway smoking is not allowed inside.
  • The plates are too small for a Lebanese restaurant
Our waiter, Hassan, was jolly and seemed to love his job. He added a pleasant touch to the meal celebration.A perfect ending with awesome desserts:
  • Halawa Ice Cream: A multi-layered piece of cake with Musk ice cream, biscuits, chocolate ice cream and halawa ice cream with jellaba sauce decorated with coconut powder. An excellent one… a really excellent one. Just imagine halawa and chocolate flavors, tender biscuit while the jellab ends the experience in style. I love it!

  • Aysh el Saraya comes with two layers of ashta and two layers of cake soaked in caramelized sugar. It is a sin. Beautifully decorated with crushed nuts, this dessert is mouthwatering. I’m not sure how many kilos I’ve gained today!

  • The Esmalliya needs it’s own article... A generous round shaped portion of fried vermicelli and ashta. The three-layered cake includes a layer of vermicelli, then ashta and another layer of vermicelli. Super fresh and crunchy dessert that literally made me close my eyes with every bite – while feeling the filaments crumbling under my teeth and enjoying a hundred flavors erupting… Just add sugar syrup and crunch into this sumptuous piece of heavenly creation. It was love at first bite. Perfection.

I like and always enjoy this restaurant every time I go…
