    I travel extensively for work and always seek out Lebanese food to connect with my heritage. Having…read moreeaten at hundreds of Lebanese restaurants across multiple states--and traveling back to Beirut once a year--I have a very high bar for authenticity. My wife is also very familiar with the cuisine and cooks many of these traditional dishes herself. Last night, we tried BEI in Costa Mesa, and we are both absolutely thrilled to have found it. The hospitality here is amazing. Tommy gave us a warm greeting right as we walked in, and it was a pleasure chatting with him all evening. Our waiter, George, was equally amazing. He isn't Lebanese himself, but he jokingly told us that he is becoming Lebanese more and more every day just from eating the food here! He knew the menu inside and out, guiding us through the options and sharing his personal favorite plates with real passion. As for the food, my wife and I completely agreed that the chicken shawarma was easily the best I have ever had anywhere in the United States. It fully equals what you would eat at a high-quality restaurant in Lebanon. The toum (garlic spread), which is an absolute must for the chicken, was unbelievable. The hummus, baba ganoush, batata harra (spicy potatoes), and the fattoush salad were all absolutely amazing and perfectly seasoned. We finished the evening with an incredible knefeh for dessert. Even the hookah was great--smooth, well-prepared, and the perfect addition to the evening. They have a DJ on Fridays and a belly dancer on Saturdays, giving the space an awesome weekend energy. If you want genuine Lebanese cuisine paired with true Middle Eastern hospitality, BEI is a must-visit. We will certainly be back every time I am in town!

As well as the overall vibe inside is so fun. A special shoutout to Tommy, he provided excellent service and made the experience even better. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food, great hookah, and top notch service. Definitely ask for Tommy!

    Interesting their name has "Restaurant" but it's more of a to-go shop than a dine-in place…read more Picking up my food was an interesting experience. No one at the counter. Turns out multiple food shops occupy this location. You'll have to ring the Ring doorbell of the shop you ordered from. Likes: + Yummy food. I liked the variety of flavors and textures in my order. + Pleasant, modern ambience. . The shop will seem like it's in the middle of nowhere, but rest assured, your food is at Ste F. Non-likes: - Somewhat expensive. I don't think the cup of simple-looking lentil soup was worth $6. - Very limited seating. - Inconveniently located in the middle of nowhere. I had: $6 Crushed lentil cup + $19.55 Kafta plate + tax - 1-time ChowNow discount = 24.77

    I absolutely love Lebanese food even more so than my native Persian cuisine, so when I heard about…read morean authentic Lebanese spot in Irvine, I knew I had to give it a try. Before you visit, keep these things in mind: 1. This is a ghost kitchen, not a full-service restaurant. It's best for takeout and delivery. There are only a few chairs outside--just four in total. 2. Ordering is entirely self-service via a digital kiosk, with no staff on hand to assist you. 3. There are no bathrooms available anywhere on-site. Regarding the food, it was just okay-- a bit underwhelming, especially given that Lebanese cuisine is typically so flavorful. The chicken was dry, the hummus lacked depth, and the rice was bland. That said, the fattoush salad, one of my favorites, was very good, with a delicious dressing. Overall, I can't say I'd return. The prices were quite high for the portions, and the quality didn't meet my expectations. If you're looking for a quick Lebanese meal, this place is a decent option, but don't expect much more than that.

Upgraded the rice to adas polo and it was as good as any other, thought I thought the price to upgrade ($5.99) was steep. Kashk O'bademjan has become one of my favorite Persian dishes to order and theirs did not disappoint. Takeout was well packaged. Recommended!

    I can confidently say that Darbari Persian Grill is my all-time favorite spot for Persian cuisine…read more Every single time I come here, it's consistently amazing. My go-to order is the chicken Cornish, and I always substitute the rice for zereshk polo. The rice is perfectly fluffy every time, and the barberries add the most delicious tang that just brings the whole dish together. It's seriously so good. They're also incredibly generous with their lavash bread, which I love because it pairs perfectly with everything. But what really makes this place special is the service. Everyone here is genuinely so kind and attentive, and I mean everyone. You're always greeted when you walk in and again when you leave, which just makes the whole experience feel so warm and welcoming. There's also an older gentleman who is always there with the biggest smile, checking in to make sure everything is perfect, and it never goes unnoticed. I also love that it's pet-friendly. The outdoor seating area with the turf is such a nice touch, and my dog absolutely loves it. Overall, this place is a 10/10 with 1000/10 service. Anytime I'm in the area, I have to stop here without fail.

    Plenty of parking next to a massive lot, but walking distance from my house so a double bonus…read more My wife picked up for us last night and said they were very friendly and noted they added some seating the previous place did not have. I was eager to try the pomegranate chicken and it did not disappoint. The chicken was very tender and tasty. It came on a bed of rice that was also very tasty. Large salad and enough to feed my wife and I plus let the grandkids try some out. They loved it. Also the garlic sauce had more of a butter taste that was a nice switch from the normally more oil based options. We loved it. They added a lentil soup for my wife to try and she really enjoyed it. We also found a bonus piece of baklava that was a nice bonus to the excellent meal. Im excited to try the other menu items as everything looks great and this is a spot we really needed here. I like they they have kids meal options too. Sometimes my grandsons can get picky and having there own choices helps out. Welcome to the neighborhood!!

We loved everything we tried. You can really tell they care about the quality of their food. The baklava ice cream is an absolute must-try. It's the perfect way to end the meal and was unlike anything we've had before. On top of the amazing food, the owner was so welcoming and genuinely friendly, which made the whole experience even better. It's always nice to support a local business where you feel appreciated as a customer. We're already looking forward to coming back and can definitely see this becoming one of our regular spots. Highly recommend!
