Beirut Lebanon (also called Ali K. Baba) had been advertised to me as the best value Lebanese restaurant in Jakarta. The place doesn't look very good from the outside, and certainly not like a place you would want to eat in. The interior is better, very authentic and simple. It is not pretty but you feel that it isn't fake, and that probably if you ever go to Beirut, you will find some similar eateries.
I ordered the hummus (Rp 20,000++) because I wanted to compare it with the more expensive restaurant Samarra... No doubt about it, Beirut Lebanon's is way better. I followed that with a shawarma (Rp 50,000++) and it was fine also, especially the white sauce to put on it.
Though the food is excellent value, there were no customers that day, in Lebanon Beirut. At the same time though, I'm guessing people were queuing in any other restaurants in Grand Indonesia and other malls. It made me think that restaurants located outside of malls seem to have troubles attracting customers, even though they are those with the best food and prices in Jakarta.
Back to our Lebanese restaurant, I strongly recommend Beirut Lebanon. Not only the food is good (I don't expect great, the best ingredients are hard to find in Indonesia), the waiters are attentive, the service fast and the setting authentic. Surely my favourite arab/lebanese restaurant in Jakarta.
Dishes served: Basmati Laham, Kafsa Dajaj, Kafta Kebab, Mushakal Mashawi, Hummus, Tabouleh, Falafel, Couscous, Baklawa, Muhalabia. Also, they have flavoured shishas.
