The food is honest and it's probably the best, juicy and full of flavor lamb meat I've ever had. The casual atmosphere contributes to the dining experience and staff are very friendly.

We havenât visited Al Halabi for more than 10 years. Such a beautiful surprise we got!Still true to its tradition, al Halabi served us Lebanese mezzeh, one plate after the other like a well synchronized ballet. Knowing which order of plates with the perfect timing, the waiters are nice, professional and amazingly present to your smallest need and desire. The food was glorious (in lack of finding a better word). Old fashioned traditional Lebanese food, without the « modern » additions. Their plat du jour is a must try. Prime quality products. The set up is « classic » indoor Lebanese restaurant. With a distinct partition between smoking and none smoking spaces. Making the experience more enjoyable to both groups of people. Last thing: make sure you have a reservation before you go!

I had been a few times to Abdel Wahab when travelling for business in Beirut. Everytime, my business partners took me to this restaurant and I thought it was a great place to go for dinner but I I always wondered if it wasn't too "cliché" or if there could be a more traditional restaurant in town.Coming back with my family this time, and after trying a few other restaurants it turned out that Abdel Wahab is definitely the best option in Beirut. Great food, prices are OK and the rooftop is pretty enjoyable especially if you want to finish dinner smoking an arguile.
