Found myself nearby and was craving some good hummus and other typical Arabic dishes. I've eaten…read moremiddle-eastern food everywhere from Detroit to Dubai to Buenos Aires. I can summarize this restaurant: - Food: above average, nothing spectacular. -Staff Service: The waiter was great and attentive, nothing out of the ordinary. - Cashier/likely the owner: grumpy, didn't look like she wanted to be there. Gave me the dirty look because I added 10% of the check in tip, which all the locals told me is fair. Probably was the Lebanese owner. Mexicans can't be that grumpy. -Price: 320 pesos for a buffet, basically about the same price you'd get in the U.S. or the Emirates. All in all, I wouldn't go back because of the price and the grumpy cashier. Este restaurante necesita otro cajero! La mujer que está trabajando como un cajero estaba mala y se va como no quiera trabajar. Creo que es una mujer arabe y tal vez el dueño....No me importa. Los meseros estaban muy amables y sus servicio estuve bien. Los precios son carros, 320 pesos por comida arabe de calidad básica. Si quieres comer aquí, evita el cajero y paga tu mesero directamente.

Used to live very close to here and would come here for the BUFFET (can't remember if it's on the…read moreweekends only). For the buffet they got all kinds of Lebanese entrees: grape leaves, stuffed squash, stuffed cabbage, raw kibbeh, baked kibbeh, tabbouleh, hummus, etc. ALSO, This is a great spot for breakfast if you're visiting Viveros or even Frida Kahlo's house. They got Lebanese inspired eggs served with Lebanese jocoque (strained yogurt), spices, olives and pita bread. It was a very special flavor. The egg cazuela with poblano peppers is very tasty and has a super generous amount of cheese, it's spicy! Huevos divorciados are also a Mexican breakfast classic, served with delicious mashed beans. Coffee is very good. Prices are right, you can get the breakfast dish on its own or you can make it a combo (coffee, juice and fresh fruit included)

We started with the Jarra de Café Arabe which was made just right. It reminded me of Lebanon and gave me that midday caffeine kick I needed. The Pan con Queso y Zaatar was surprisingly not authentic. It was essentially just cheese with dry zaatar on the side. I was expecting it to be baked with half Cheese and half Zaatar. They essentially gave us the zaatar to sprinkle on our own. The Pastel de Dátil was rich, naturally sweet from the dates, and a bit dense. I picked up on other spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom which gave it some warmth while the crust was more crunchy and nutty. Good try, overall!

This Lebanese restaurant purports to offer high-end food at a high-end price. I recommend the…read moresampler dish as a good representation of what this restaurant serves. Service was prompt and friendly at the beginning. I specifically enjoyed the opportunity to observe the arrival of elite Mexican society at this restaurant. I liked that the restrooms were very clean. I recommend visiting this restaurant at dinner time to enjoy the theater of being around elite Mexican society. The warm grape leaves and dips were a special treat. I liked the kabobs because the meat was very tender. If these two very minor issues can be promptly addressed, I think this restaurant has the potential to return to its four-star or possibly climb to a five-star rating. I think hygiene of the restaurant can continue to be enhanced with more integrated pest management in the form of glue-based traps as a small black insect crawled across our table--no surprise as I pointed this out to the staff. Also service can be enhanced toward the end, specifically, two of the left-over dishes we requested for take-out were not included when we got home. Since the price was world-class, I did feel obligated to calibrate this restaurant to a three-star rating to take these issues into account as one expects details like these to be handled. Overall, the food is world-class, ambiance can be further enhanced, opening service is world-class, end-service can also be further enhanced.

We went as a family of 7 and were the first customers of the day. We ordered from the Menu rather than trying the buffet. We love middle eastern food, and Arabe Miguel did not disappoint. For drinks we had pitchers of Mint Lemonade which was excellent and not lacking in flavor, as well as a couple of pitchers of the Mint Lassi which was excellent. The Turkish coffee was also very good. We had the cheese flat bread which was like a pretty good quesadilla, the Stuffed Grape Leaf dish was very good and was served warn rather than cold which is my preference, the Tabule was very good, and they prepared without fresh onion for us, Falafel was very good, Hummus was very good, as was the Baba Ghanoush although a bit on the limey side, the assorted Kebabs (Alambres) were tasty although all of the meat was a bit overcooked, and we tried the Lamb and Chicken Shawarma, which was also god, prepared in flatbread. Service was good overall. If you are in the mood for Middle Eastern food, they have been in business since 1944 so they had certainly passed the test of time, and do not disappoint and we recommend.

After scrolling thru the review photos I thought for sure I would land on a burger. But I was pleasantly surprised to see they had hot dogs on the menu, which were cleverly disguised as Perras Maltesas. And being that I am not a vegetarian, I ordered the carnivore selection. Boy, was I glad I found the hot dog on that menu. It is presented in "pig in a blanket" style with two 1/4 pound beefy dogs in homemade roll with 2 kinds of gooey cheese and caramelized onions. And even though I am normally a chili dog kinda girl, I have to say every bite of this tasty combo tasted like a bite from home. And these guys aren't kidding around. The dog runs end to end and it's a hearty meal for one or perfect snack for two. The picture shows the dog after I cut it in half for sharing. The dog is grilled and the bun is toasty warm lending to yummy, gooey, cheesy melt. If you are jonseing for a good hot dog in Mexico City, this is your destination.
