I was excited when I found this place and noted that it was pretty close to where I would be working during my time in Spokane. It was about a three minute drive from where I was, and I decided to go in and get a Lamb Shawarma. I am a big fan of shawarmas and I have had many different types from many different middle east countries, so I went in with high standards, especially after reading the reviews. The service was friendly and nothing to complain about. Ambiance wise, this is a place where you go up to the counter and order your food and seat yourself and eat. It is not a sit-down restaurant or a place with waiter service. The Shawarma came out close to $20. It came with fries as well. The fries were not anything out of the ordinary but the shawarma itself was not very seasoned. The meat was cooked fine and there were no red flags, but I think the seasoning was very underwhelming. Maybe I didn't order the right thing, but I think a shawarma is pretty standard. I would probably not return, if given the chance. read more

Brilliant Shawarma and platter place, so good that we are craving for more. Quick and sweet service and bright red warm Ambiance. I wish they expand! Every bite taken in this restaurant was top notch. Check out the photos for titles. Lebanon restaurant is on the first level of a tall residential building in Spokane.

Pros grape leaves were good the "sour cream dip" minimal. No flavor just meh Lentil soup looks nothing like photo on menu- texture flavor are good would have been better with a drizzle. CON: beef shwarma I have had Plenty of shwarma wraps in my lifetime to know this is trash. The shwarma itself is Burnt- like this has been on a 3 day pike likely just spinning at the bottom and just ick- the used what appears as ICEBERG lettuce (which is old- you can taste the wilted and brown spots apparent on it) random hardly any actual veggie I would feel would be in here- their white sauce garbage- no flavor- they put no hummus in this- there is no pickle- no olives - this taste like a white washed serving- true Lebanon culinary has finesse and deep flavors - I'm forcing myself to swallow this $20 hand roll it's just ick read more

Way WAY too expensive! $77 for 2 dinners and hummus. The staff were very kind, the portions were huge, and the food was amazing, but may not be back. I just couldn't afford it again. I'm giving 5 stars because everything else was perfect. The inside and the patio are clean and welcoming. read more

We tried Lebanon for the first time. It was a late lunch, and my husband was hungry so he was really happy with the giant portion size. He ordered the gyro and fries with feta. I went for a more traditional order of Ful, which is legumes, onions, and spices. It was very flavorful and had a creamy topping that was not tzatziki. The pitas were fresh and warm. We will go back and look forward to sitting on the big patio. read more

Sat in the patio in the sun with a cool breeze and enjoyed the Gyro, shawarma, and Lebanese Coffee. Just all around awesomeness. read more

Stopped in on a long drive and couldn't be more please with the kindness and quality of the food. The woman working had a kindness that was refreshing and genuine. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate and it was wonderful! The garlic sauce is my absolute favorite and was so perfect on the chicken. Nice patio out back to sit at as well. Definitely will stop by next time we are in town! Thank you Lebanon restaurant! read more

Lebanon Restaurant & Cafe - Chicken Shawarma Platter - Mediterranean Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Arrived in Spokane on Memorial Day evening and had selected Lebanon for dinner prior to arrival. We arrived a few minutes after 7pm with hopes that we'd have just under and hour to grab dinner but they closed early for the holiday and we missed it :( Was super bummed and tried another "Mediterranean" restaurant in town and super disappointed and still craving the real deal. We tried coming back a couple days later and SO GLAD we did! The staff genuinely care about the customers and engage with us about location, previous dining, and menu items. We tried the baba ghanoush (OMG), lamb shawarma, grape leaves, chicken and lamb kofta skewers, and baklava. I loved everything!! It was sooo much food, we had enough for dinner the following night and stopped by again to pick up a hummus to try. The staff remembered us and made us feel so appreciated. The portions are huge and the staff is really generous with the extras. If I were local, I would literally eat here every week. read more

I came in on a Saturday during dinner hours with my boyfriend, and instead of their regular menu, they were serving a small buffet. For dessert, I ordered a baklava shake and a baklava - both were amazing! I will definitely be back. I also have a picture to share! read more

Lebanon Restaurant & Cafe - Baklava Milkshake - Mediterranean Near Me - Spokane, Washington

From the Middle East to downtown Spokane, A brings the soul of Lebanon to every dish. The food is incredibly authentic--house-made and full of flavor. The desserts are out of this world, and their newest addition, the baklava milkshake, is iconic. You can taste the love and tradition in every bite and sip. The owner is warm, welcoming, and the service is always top-notch. This place is a true gem! read more

Lebanon is amazing in so many ways - their food is phenomenal, the service is superb (shout out to Madeline - sweetest woman I've met at a restaurant), and they even had entertainment for us during dinner. We came here yesterday on the last day of Restaurant Week. I haven't been here before, but now I will become a regular. The menu was $35 for three courses. I got the tzatziki dip with naan, chicken shawarma, and a dessert that tasted like candy I grew up with in Mexico. It was perfect. Also, the portions were HUGE. This was well worth the $35 as I now have enough food for another 2-3 meals which I am very excited about that. The restaurant is on the first floor of a condo building downtown so it's within walking distance if you work downtown. 100% recommend. read more

Was excited to try the food at this restaurant and went around the middle of the day about a week ago and the entire restaurant was empty and we decided to dine in. The service was alright, it was friendly but I very much wish we were informed on the upgrades made because at certain points the waiter suggested alternative salads with the entree making it sound like it is the same price however was additional charges. The menus for me and my girlfriend were both fairly dirty and with no customers inside the restaurant tables were not bussed. Then came the food. The overall portions were great, it had alot of food, but the rest of it, at least the beef and chicken, tasted slightly off. The beef was extremely dry and lacked flavor, but the sauce that smothered everything did a great job masking it. It just tasted like the meat and chicken was old and left me disappointed. Now, guess the price of two entrees and one can of diet coke. If you guessed in total including tip was 80$ you would be correct. This was shockingly expensive, even with big portions, a $80 price tag for two and only getting a single can of soda is alot. I would go somewhere else for similar food for half the price. read more

We went here for a pick up order for lunch. The service was nice and fast. The food however, it was a bit underwhelming for the price . We had a chicken Shawarma and a beef Shawarma. The chicken was definitely better out of the two because the beef had many pieces that were not chewable. I would consider coming back here if it wasn't for the price to quality ratio. read more

The $15 baklava milkshake is worth it. It's loaded with pistachios, cardamom, rose petals, and topped with a full piece of baklava. It's a fancy drink and a dessert in one, easily shared by 2-3 people. Excellent shawarma, service is great and friendly. Sitting on the patio in summer is quite nice, and they have a large dining room inside. read more

Great food. Very authentic. Gyro is phenomenal. We will be back. Service was goood also!

First of all the smells are amazing! The layout is weird but once you get past that it is very cozy. We were here on a Saturday night and they had fabulous Belly Dancers performing! It was a magical experience! Food was good too. The only reason for 4 stars was to use the bathroom is difficult and it was out of TP. read more

The food is consistently great and served with a smile. The gyros and fries are our favorite. The water with mint in it is so refreshing.

My husband was craving a gyro but our longtime favorite restaurant, Azar's had closed. I had heard Lebanon Cafe was really good and saw the reviews, so we gave it a try. We weren't disappointed. Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful and the gyro my husband ordered was enough for two meals! I had the hummus with warm pita and it was heaven. I think we found a new favorite spot! I can't wait to go back and try the dolmades. read more

Very happy to find this place after recently moving to the area. Like most places in Spokane, it's only 10 minutes from my house ... and it's halal too! A Palestinian friend recently joined me there for dinner and he was quite happy (though purists might say the food lacks garlic and parsley :). I wish they provided more pita, but you can always ask for more. We liked the tabbouleh, mjaddara (lentils, rice, fried onions), and kebabs. Definitely looking forward to returning for the kibbeh and kunafa! MashaAllah read more

Take out order for 'original' Gyro and beef shawarma order with yam fries. Service was fast and friendly. Fries for both orders were crazy salty and essentially inedible. Gyro was fine, but totally overpriced for the quality of ingredients. Especially the pita which was store bought fluf. Not toasted or quality dough here, just wonder bread in a circle. The beef shawarma was a good tenderness, but flavor and composition of the wrap was uninspiring and easy to forget about. Especially with the lackluster tahini. In summary, both were totally overpriced for what they offered. Will not return. read more

Amazing. I subbed dairy free sauce and it was amazing. Great service. Fries were crispy. Just what we were looking for. read more

I had a wonderful lunch experience with my girlfriends at Lebanon Restaurant & Cafe! We sat in a cozy booth and ordered the Lebanese meat pies, gyro, and fried veggie sandwich, and all three dishes (and the fries that came with the latter two) were amazing. The tzatziki sauce was a real standout -- it is creamier and more flavorful/herbier than most versions -- and I'd recommend ordering a side of it with your fries as a dipping sauce! I only wish I'd had enough of an appetite to try the kunafeh, which is a time-intensive dessert to make and thus a difficult one to find on menus, especially in Spokane (I'm not sure if I've seen it anywhere else in this city). Prices were fair for portion sizes -- I left completely stuffed. Our server Cher was attentive and friendly, and I enjoyed flipping through some of the cookbooks in the restaurant afterwards. I highly recommend Lebanon Restaurant to anyone who wants to try authentic, delicious Lebanese/Middle Eastern food! This is a welcome addition to the food scene in Spokane! read more

Crazy good! Traditional, huge portions, everything we hoped for!!!! we haven't had a good euro since Azars went out of business and have been craving these spices for so long. It's a family owned business and one I will continue to support. read more

The best hummus I've ever tasted! So yummy! Friendly service as well! The restaurant smelled amazing and things were clean.

Our new favorite restaurant! The service was fabulous and the food excellent. My friend and I shared the Lebanese Sampler with Hummus, Tahini, stuffed grape leaves, falafel patties, Tabouleh, Tzatziki and pita bread. For drinks we ordered the Lebanese Coffee with a hint of cardamom, and the Ayran (a non sweet yogurt drink). We finished this delicious meal with baklava and left feeling nostalgic for Egypt. The Entrance to the restaurant is on the Wall Street side of the Cooper George Bldg, the address is on 5th, so it is a bit confusing to find if you just drive by on 5th. A must try and great addition of diversity to Spokane. read more

What a great find! Not only were the Gluten Free options (like gf pita!) good, the regular pita was so fresh, the portions so sizable, and the flavors so good, we will definitely return. The selection is wide enough for a few visits to try the options. Service was also very good! read more

SO yummy! Best Gyro ever had. Even the french fries are especially good. Great texture and flavor. We will be returning.

The atmosphere was nice, service was overall good, and the food was ok. First of all, I'm happy to see a middle eastern restaurant in Spokane, we haven't been blessed with anything like the caliber of the White House. My biggest problem was with this place was the food was ok, nothing to write home about. What compounded the slightly negative experience were the prices. Let's be real, $7 for a coffee, $7 for a glass of ayran (yogurt), and $20 sandwiches. I'm sorry but this isn't Seattle, and the price, as others have mentioned, is far too much for what it is. Others may like it but to me, the value is not there. read more

Delicious food, great & friendly, warm staff. Highly recommend! We met up with my cousins there after a long time apart and enjoyed a wonderful & leisurely meal together. Choice of indoor or outdoor, we enjoyed our table indoors. P.S. It was a bit hard to find if you don't know where you're going, on the ground level of the Cooper George Apts.
