However, when we realized it is vegetarian they kindly told us they won't charge us if we leave but they strongly believed we will love it if we stay so we stayed. The starter was truly amazing. It was 4 pancakes with some pumpkin, beets, hummus and nut paste that was unbelievable But the main courses were only ok. Maybe because we really craved meat I mean don't get me wrong hummus is nice but it's not steak The tortellini was good but the mushroom really was just meh. The place had a beautiful ambiance, clean and friendly.

The shawarma made me feel sick after eating it and the fatoush salad was very soggy. I'd suggest them to find a different way to serve the fatoush salad for delivery, maybe keep the dressing on the side for the customer to add it. As for the shawarma, I'm not sure why it made me sick... maybe I made a mistake ordering this during the summer... I can not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

After several bad run-ins with what passes as hummus in Spain, I knew the only place to get my fix would be from a Middle Eastern restaurant. Luckily, this place was around the corner from my hostel, making it both conveniently located AND delicious. WIN. I ordered the shawerma plate with a mango juice and mmmmmm. SO SO good. The meat was a tad more well done than I would have liked but otherwise the plate was perfection. The portion was incredibly generous but it didn't stop me from finishing the plate...that's how good it was. Service was very efficient, especially by Spanish standards but overall no complaints. I'd come back in a second!

On every trip to Madrid we have been to Jalo and enjoy the delicous food that is served by the restaurant. Madrid is an awesome city and we usually stay near the Atocha so their are some great food options but none better than Jalo. The food is awesome and the white sauce which they serve with all the entrees and sandwiches is one of the best I have had. I usually order the adana kebab entree which is served with tasty basmati rice or french fries along with a little burnt green pepper and tomatoes which hit the spot. The pita sandwiches are excellent too along with a lot of different menu options which I am looking forward to enjoying when I get back to Madrid. Pricing is very reasonable for the location as it is swamped with tourists and the employees are caring and provide excellent service. They also have a hookah lounge in the back for people who want to chill out after a tasty dinner. 5 stars all the way if you are in Madrid don't miss this one.

Falafel shops, holes in the wall, are everywhere in Lavapies. You go in there, into any one of…read morethem, and eat the junk food they serve, buy a bucket of beer, and later you're gifted with bowel issues. That's just how it works, and you accept it. The beers you enjoy less than the company you're with, and the food less still. These sorts of experiences are a dime a dozen. Beirut, however, offers glorious respite from the monotony of these endless falafel-shop copies. Its terrace, in spite of being situated on a corner of a crossroad, is quiet and shady, and seats twenty or so. The ambiance here, in a less-traveled nook of the neighborhood, leaves Calle Argumosa (and all of its falafel shops) in the dust. For the same price that you can buy a gut-bomb elsewhere, you can have a delicious shawarma, falafel, or kebab prepared to order, in the moment at Beirut. There is a proper kitchen run by a woman and who I assume is her husband. The latter waits tables and has always been friendly with us. When I have brought my Spanish friends here, to this relative unknown, they have all been thrilled saying that it's just about impossible to find common street food this good elsewhere. Oh, and they also offer combo platters that are WAY TOO MUCH food for one person, replete with a variety of sauces (all delicious). And that's why I've taken the time to write this review: Beirut, compared to the other Moroccan/Middle Eastern places around Lavapies, offers a far superior experience both in food quality and setting. It's one of my favorite restaurants to visit.

They saw us (the place is tiny, only 9 tables) but were busy fixing some mess --looked like delayed orders. We ordered the veg combo plate: hummus, falafel, mohamara, baba ganouj, grape leaves & pita bread for 10€. A generous & nicely-presented plate arrived. Everything was fine except the hummus, which was watery & insipid. The baba wasn't quite up to par either; it lacked that nice smokey flavor but worse, tasted a bit acidic, like it was a day or two past its prime. The guys running the place were nice, but how do you f*ck up hummus & baba ghanouj?

Don't usually give negative reviews, but our experience deserves it. We made the mistake (eight of…read moreus) of making reservations to this place. I'm sure the experience is much better if you don't do that, and perhaps look more local than we did. Anyway, our table of eight arrived and was ignored a good long while, giving us plenty of time to peruse the menu and choose our dishes. When the waitress finally came, she informed us that the only menu choice available to us was the "menu del dia", which is easily the most expensive item on the menu. Having worked in food service, I understand that there are lots of reasons a restaurant would adopt this policy, and all of them benefit the restaurant and not the customer. One of our party members, a Spaniard, spoke at length with the waitress and then the manager, but finally we were denied the freedom to choose items from the menu that sounded good to us, personally. We walked out and no one tried to stop us. Probably I will return to try the food, because it does look good and the decor and ambiance are just lovely. I will not make a reservation, and I hope that you don't either.
