Beirut is definitely 1 of my favorite restaurants in Bangkok. I have to admit, when I arrived to Beirut restaurant my friend and I were totally hiw kaw (hungry) but when you see this menu, it’s massive filled with tons of great middle eastern options. The service is great, the food is wonderful and the location couldn’t be better, very convenient in the heart of the Bangkok tourism area Silom road and Patpong area.

The Menu: The Beirut menu is just crazy awesome! We took about 20 minutes just trying to decide what to get, there are too many GREAT options. We ended up going nuts, ordering a lot of foods! The menu has everything from lebanese foods, burgers and fries, fish and chips and many sales, soups, dips, and others! You will be awe’d with their size of menu
What I Ate: There were too many great choices to choose from, but we ended up ordering the Motabel aka Baba ghanouj, Muhummara, Fatouche, Falafel Sandwich, Pita breads, Shich Taouk with rice, and Shawarma Chicken with french fries. We ate it ALL! Beirut will get my vote as top 5 restaurants in Bangkok that I’ve tried so far
The Staff: The staff was nice and took our large order with only memory, no pen and paper, he got everything correct 100%
The Bathroom: I didn’t see any restrooms here, but there is a hand washing area in this Silom branch

Conclusion: In conclusion, Beirut is now amongst my top 5 favorite restaurants in Bangkok, and I’ll be going back there on a regular basis, I can see why Beirut is the top seller on the popular Bangkok food delivery website Food By Phone
