Reviews for Lebnani Lebanese Grill in Watertown, CT
If you took a direct flight to Lebanon you would get your food faster than if you came to this restaurant. Our waitress forgot... to bring us our drinks, you might think no big deal right but we ate dinner with not even water to drink? she gave us a bunch ofyogurt with no bread, we never even got the bread. Service was terrible. It was a sad experience and I really hope that theowner steps his game up and hires more people like the young lady who works there as a waitress. I saw a couple walk out becausethey were so frustrated? they never got to order a single thing they waited for at least 20 minutes..The food wasn?t even worth$20 today. Portion of meat was so minuscule compared to the large amount of rice they gave me, she forgot to bring the bread. ifyou?re gonna come here don?t do it on the weekend. The place is much larger and they have an extra room that they can use ifthey need to. If you?re the owner and you?re reading this you just need to hire more staff, you didn?t have enough peopleworking on a Saturday night. Read more
Such a beautiful atmosphere and experience. The food was AMAZING. Very authentic. The staff was so kind and helpful. Jen was so... knowledgeable about the food and friendly to chat with. The whole vibe of the restaurant was great. Highly recommend. Read more
After missing out on a true meal a month ago, we had to return for the full works. Still wonderful cuisine. Adding a star for... three reasons: Buying extra space to include a bar, building a bakery right next door to make their own fresh dough and bakedgoods, and for continued if not improved really delicious food. Everything was incredible. I might have to add this to myregular diet of fine and healthy meals. I appreciate my companion introducing me to this fare. From start to finish everythingexcelled. We wanted so many starters our wait staff suggested we get the cold appetizer platter. Good recommendation. We alsoordered two pies - spinach and cheese. I prefer the cheese. As someone who doesn't like eggplant, I loved the Monk - which isbasically a chopped salad with this main ingredient, but can also be a soup or stew. My partner loves the labné - a strainedyogurt dish - which on the platter comes as the garlic version. The hummus and olive salad are the right addition to thiscollection along with traditional grape leaves. The chicken medley soup was what it should be - warm and comforting. Maindishes were lamb chops on yellow rice with grilled vegetables and the shawarma mix platter of beef and chicken over basmatirice. As someone who cooks, and cooks well, their rice is amazing to me. It's so light you could blow it off of your plate likefeathers. We ordered four spinach pies and an order of beef shawarma with basmati and grilled vegetables to take out. Manythanks to Reem for her fine cooking, cocktail expertise and just general perfection. # This August 2022, it's hard to believe wehaven't been to Lebnani for three years but with Covid closings and Lebnani moving their restaurant to the larger space nextdoor to now include a full bar, time passed. The old space they are still keeping to open up a Lebanese bakery and café"Man'oushe" which they are working on now. Thumbs up to the new revamped version of Lebnani. We mainly dropped in to see Read more
This place is a gem! The food just keeps getting better and the staff is so friendly, attentive (while giving space, too) and... professional. Love the new look and atmosphere! If you want a real treat and delicious Lebanese food, you must try! Read more
We?ve received multiple recommendations to try Lebnani, and feeling adventurous, we made the decision to stop by for dinner last... night. We are so happy that we did, because everything was incredible! I wanted to give a special shoutout to the waitress whowas doing a fantastic job despite being the only server and being spread thin between multiple tables and handling takeoutorders. She was as attentive as possible, and our food came out quickly. We really liked the build your own options, which wasperfect for our first time and getting to try a few different things. The beef shawarma was delicious, and the Rakakat, or?cheese rolls? were AWESOME. I was not expecting them to be so good, but they put mozzarella sticks to shame! The portion sizeswere perfect. We thought we saw on the menu that our dishes would come with pita, so we didn?t order them, but they didn?t comeand we did miss them. We?ll be sure to ask for them next time though. Lebnani is a hidden gem that you have to experience! Read more
Fantastic flavor and exceptional service. We love to sip on Aperol Spritz with our meals and the server wanted to make sure they... had enough Apreol on hand so we ran out to grab another bottle for us. Now that?s service! Drinks were great! We ordered hummusfor the table and it came with fresh, warm pita straight from the oven. Pickled turnips were a lovely touch. Entrees came outfast and my goodness the portions!! We are leaving with enough leftovers for 2 more meals. Prices were reasonable consideringthe amount of food you get. Clean flavors! I can tell they used quality olive oil which makes all the difference! Pictured belowis the Vegetarian sampler Read more
Always a great takeout place, but my Fattoush with Shawarma salad was missing the Pita Chips ?? Plus charged $12.81, instead of... the online $9.99 price. I don't mind paying a little extra, food's always amazing - just include the chips please. I'll doublecheck my order next time. Read more
This place is amazing. Reem and Sammy make you feel like family. The food is on point and now the new bakery-right next door-... makes it possible for you to eat Lebanese food on the run. Certainly a great taste of home. Read more
