I really wanted to love Beirut and will give it another chance, but my first impression wasn't…read moregreat. I came in as a solo diner and was seated quickly, although my table was kind of nestled underneath the high outdoor bar. That meant hearing some of the bartender's phone conversations. I ordered a glass of Lebanese rose wine and liked it! But my meal wasn't impressive. The vegetarian grape leaves (one of my favorite dishes, generally) were OK, although several were split up on my plate (but hey, it happens). I thought the flavor was underwhelming; there was a lot of acidity but nothing else. I also ordered a side of "extra crispy seasoned potato fries" which just turned out to be generic crinkle fries with salt. Definitely wouldn't order those again. I thought maybe there would be some sort of twist on them? The big frustration was service. The restaurant was far from full when I went -- I counted maybe a dozen seated tables. After I finished eating, I spent more than 30 minutes trying to get my waiter's attention to get my check even as I sat with my plates pushed away, glasses empty, and credit card out. He walked by multiple times to wait on and check with other tables, and I saw at least five other employees working in the front of house and walking by me. Even when I got his attention for the check, it took quite a few minutes to get it, despite him walking out to other tables. (Although I will note he seemed busier than the other employees!) My check before tip came to $24, which felt on the pricey side for what I got. I hope I'm wrong, but I got the vibe that I wasn't exactly their favorite type of guest -- a solo diner who wasn't smoking hookah. (I noticed another solo non-smoker go similarly unnoticed by staff.) Maybe they heavily favor regulars, too. But they weren't at capacity, and I'd have gotten out quicker had I been able to pay. Maybe it was just an off night. But it's just not a great feeling to be ignored.

Your greeted by the owners who work the restaurant and take pride in their establishment. They provided us with a complementary hot tea sample. That was so good. I could have drank that and been happy and had nothing else! The food where to begin? Typically I do not do sauces because that is not my thing but there's well let's just say I devoured it! It was so phenomenal and the chicken moist flavorful outstanding I cannot brag enough about how phenomenal that chicken dish was. Now let's talk about the vegetables. They were seasoned to perfection and cooked where they were still crunchy but yet they were soft enough that you didn't have to worry. The vegetables were outstanding and I wanted to get second helping on the vegetables they were that good! The pita bread looked to be homemade, but given it was Passover I was not able to try it. So long story short I'm coming back Friday night because that pita bread looked like it was in-house made and it looks so so good! This restaurant I have to say is out of this world and worthy of 10 stars! This is somewhere you definitely must try and I believe you too will give them 10 stars!!!!

Ordered the Kafta Istanbuly -- a platter of two skwers of lamb kafta, grilled eggplant, lightly sauteed veggie (carrots, broccoli, zucchini), raw spinach and yellow rice. Descent serving size. Light, but very delightful seasoning. The lamb and veggie were just like what I make at home! The rice was cooked with peas and carrots and was good. It weighed about 6oz. Overall the dish was hearty and healthy. My server also gave me some complimentary fresh pita and zataar & olive oil (delicious). At only $27.5 (as of Feb 2026), this was a perfect deal! As there are not many Middle Eastern restaurants in Jacksonville, I am glad to find it and I would go there again the next time I visit this city!

There are Coke products in a soda fountain and a refrigerator with sodas, beer and wine. We ordered the Vegetarian Platter. First, the best hummus and tahini in the area. The falafel is fantastic along with the gyro. I wasn't expecting the fries to be so amazing but they were crispy and seasoned so well. Everything hit, and this is a new go-to for us.

My friend had the falafel pita which she said was very good! It looked moist and not dried out so that was a good thing. I should've tried it, but I didn't. I had the tabouli. The tabouli was fresh full of flavor and outstanding! We split an order of the hummus, which I will say I'm not the huge fan of however theirs was excellent. Add warm, fresh homemade pita it was a treat! Sitting outside under the lights on their patio area was fantastic. Just enough of a breeze, but the lights gave it a very quaint home like atmosphere.

Food -- 3/5 Stars…read more First, let me say that based on the appetizers, I genuinely thought I was about to give the food five stars. My friend ordered the Casbah House Fries, and they were SO good. I ordered the Zaytoon, which is essentially marinated olives, and those were really good too. At that point, I'm thinking, okay Casbah, y'all might be onto something. Unfortunately, the entrée didn't quite keep that same momentum for me. I ordered the Half Rack Lamb Chops, and I felt like my lamb was overcooked. I ended up ordering a side of tzatziki, which definitely helped, but I don't necessarily want to need a sauce to make a $38 entrée more enjoyable. I'd absolutely order the appetizers again, but next time I'd probably try a different entrée--or honestly, just make a meal out of appetizers. Ambiance -- 5/5 Stars Now THIS is where Casbah shines. The place is definitely a vibe. Inside feels a little more intimate, while outside has a completely different energy with the music playing, hookah flowing, and people just enjoying themselves. I also liked the TVs around the bar. It's a small touch, but it makes the space work for sports fans who want to catch a game without necessarily going to a traditional sports bar. I'd return for the atmosphere alone. Service -- 2/5 Stars I'm honestly wondering if they may have been understaffed during our visit. Our server was nice, so my rating isn't about her attitude at all. She just seemed overwhelmed, and unfortunately, that showed in the amount of time it took for her to check back in with us or return with things we'd requested. There were several moments where we were simply waiting much longer than expected. She was pleasant when we interacted with her, but the service itself could definitely have been more attentive. Drinks -- 3/5 Stars The drinks were okay. Nothing was bad, but nothing made me stop and say, Ohhhh, you HAVE to try this. I wouldn't specifically return to Casbah because I'm craving one of their cocktails, but if I'm already there enjoying the atmosphere and hookah, I'd have another drink. Overall -- 4/5 Stars Overall, I'm giving Casbah four stars because despite a few misses, it's still somewhere I'd return. Personally, I think Casbah works better as a "meet your friends, order a bunch of appetizers, get some hookah, have a couple drinks, and enjoy the vibe" kind of place than a traditional date-night dinner spot. And honestly? That's perfectly fine. Every restaurant doesn't have to be everything. Give me those Casbah House Fries, some Zaytoon, good music, a couple drinks, and a table outside with friends, and I could absolutely see myself having a good time here again. What I Ordered: Zaytoon -- $5.00 Half Rack Lamb Chops -- $38.00 Side of Tzatziki -- $2.00 Summer Rose Cocktail -- $15.00 Blueberry Mojito -- $14.00 Service Fee: $8.15 "A small service fee is applied to all transactions to help cover operational cost." Total: $82.15
