More about: Tallet NasrUp on the hill of Naas, facing Fadel Restaurant is Tallet Nasr. We decided  to give it a try. Tallet Nasr is a typical Lebanese restaurant located in the Bikfaya Naas region surrounded by pine trees and the best panoramic view of the region. Adding to that is a simple concept, generously delicious food and soothing sounds of mother nature hissing in the background. A perfect Sunday remedy. “Le Valet” parking company obliges you to use their services by blocking all the parking spots on the street. A hostess then welcomes you, and here the head waiter approached us for the order.Angry and in an extremely bad mood, he started taking the order. To continue and have a decent lunch I stopped him and said: “You are in a bad mood on this beautiful Sunday but we have nothing to do with it: Smile or send someone else.” His mood changed instantly and things were as they are supposed to be.I loved the simplicity this restaurant has without any pretension or boosted claustrophobic decoration.The food was good and tasty:

• Hommos is very tasty, fresh, consistent and decorated with premium olive oil. They don’t use garlic in it

• The stuffed vine leaves are acceptable, the tabbouleh a bit lemony but good and the fries are exquisite. Home made, thick and crunchy

• Labneh is homemade like all the other food items served

• Rkakat jebneh, grilled and generously filled are delicious

• The makanek are soft and tender like nowhere else.

• The birds are crunchy and tasty

• The Talet Nasr Ras Asfour is awesome: Small pieces of meat mixed with dried tomatoes and well cooked onions. A plate that deserves an applause

• The Kebbeh is exquisite, big and generous with peanuts stuffing that makes these balls outstanding

I honestly don’t understand how people still go eat at the neighbour’s.

I liked:

• The small ice cubes are perfect for the small arak cups
• The presentation of the makanek and the hot plates in copper casseroles
• The branded individual bread bags. Small and big sizes
• The availability of Markouk bread produced live to consume
• The reasonable prices are one of the main things that will make you come back

I didn’t like:

• The fattouch is too sour. I couldn’t eat more than a bite
• The staff needs to be more welcoming and should learn to smile more

A quick comparison:

• We paid $30/person – we ate until we were all satisfied. We paid $60 nextdoor and left hungry
• The menu is wide, diverse and covers all the Lebanese mezze. A minimal choice is imposed on the other side
• All the prices are 50% cheaper than the neighbour
• The portions are bigger and more generous

Lunch ended with Halawet el Jeben and Ashta with honey. Both good with a mouthwatering presentation.

Allow me to compare for your own benefit: If I want to have lunch in a crowded place in Naas, I will definitely choose Tallet Nasr. You eat ten times more, enjoy a wider and more generous choice, and appreciate perfect and delicious quality at cheaper price than on the other side of the road. Tallet Nasr is a Lebanese restaurant close to home and I will be visiting it again with the family soon. If you are searching for a smaller place with a homemade cuisine and a welcoming owner, Chebli is then the place.
