3 months agoGreat food and super generous portions! We ordered two platters and honestly couldn’t finish them—portions were huge and everything was absolutely delicious. The total came to just $25 for two people, including drinks, which is an amazing deal. Fresh, fast, and full of flavor. Definitely a must-try spot if you’re in Hamra!

a month agoSimply one of the best chicken shawarmas I’ve ever had. I wish they had places to sit, it’s only takeaway. The staff are very nice and welcoming.

2 weeks agoBarbar is the spot for Shawarma lovers in Beirut! Their beef and chicken shawarma are perfectly seasoned, juicy, and wrapped in soft bread with creamy garlic sauce and pickles, absolutely addictive! Portions are generous, prices are fair, and service is lightning fast even when it’s crowded. In addition to their crispy fried chicken and fresh tabbouleh, and here you’ve got the ultimate Lebanese food experience!

4 months agoA 24/7 restaurant, nice location and great place to have a dinner in late evening or midnight. The food was super delicious The service was not as expected Prices are resonable, but good for thr quantity and quality they offer. Car parkings are available only in sides of the streets which sometimes become difficult.

3 weeks agoBarbar is an iconic place in Beirut. People from all around the Arab world visit Beirut and head to Barbar for a bite. The portions are generous. The taste is great. Sometimes the service takes a long time, due to the business of the place. It is a very sha3bi place.
