Beirut Restaurant occupies a spot on Trần Ngọc Diện where the kitchen runs well past midnight and belly dancers take the floor every thirty minutes or so. It draws a mix of Middle Eastern expats, travelers looking for familiar flavors, and Thao Dien regulars after something further from the neighborhood's standard café circuit.
The menu centers on Lebanese staples. The Beirut Mixed Grill—lamb and chicken—draws the most consistent praise, with multiple reviewers noting the meat arrives juicy and properly seasoned. The falafel gets called out specifically for its authenticity, and the arayes, meat-stuffed flatbread cooked to order, rounds out the mezze-to-grill arc that defines a typical evening here. Hummus is a fixture; the house chili sauce has developed its own following. On the drinks side, the Bourbon apple punch and Mint Cucumber Drink suggest a bar program that goes beyond what most Lebanese restaurants in the city offer, which makes sense given the venue's dual identity as a restaurant, bar, and cigar lounge.
The space includes both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor section runs with minimal lighting, which has surprised guests expecting a straightforward restaurant setup rather than something closer to a club atmosphere. Inside is better lit and more suited to a sit-down dinner. Shisha is available.
The 433 Google reviews averaging 4.4 stars don't tell a uniform story. A contingent of Middle Eastern guests—including at least one Dubai resident—find the food genuinely on par with what they eat at home. A smaller group has flagged inconsistency in the kitchen, particularly with meat preparation. Service quality has drawn complaints on certain nights.
Weekday evenings tend to run quieter. The room fills out later in the week and on weekends, when the entertainment factor is more of a pull. Sunday is the only day with midday hours, opening at 11 AM; all other days begin at 3 PM and close at 1 AM.

Had a brief meal here with my colleagues while on a business trip and while declaring my expenses, I got notified that the receipt was incorrect. This invalidated it as a business expense. The VAT is 8,4 instead of 8. It seems like a slick trick to squeeze some money out of foreigners.
We went for dinner. Ordered Hummus, Falafil, Beirut Mixed Grill, Arayes, and a Mint Cucumber Drink. Everything was very very tasty. I live in Dubai and I can vouch this food was better than the Lebenese food that we usually eat in Dubai. Lamb, Chicken pieces were cooked to perfection and very very juicy. Falafil was very very authentic. Arayes too was perfectly cooked. It is really such a blessing for tourists from Middle East to find such authentic food here in Vietnam. This is a must visit place for all labanese food lovers.
We ordered a Beirut mixed grill, potato wedges, and Bourbon apple punch. The food was good and filling. There was a dancer entertaining us every half an hour I guess. The experience was good. It was a Monday evening so the restaurant wasn’t crowded.
The service is a complete joke. The waiter serving us couldn’t be bothered with minimal customer service and spent entire evening on his mobile. He didn’t once come to check on us. We received overpriced and tasteless food, so we requested additional sauce to eat it with, but he responded in a boring way that the kitchen was closed and that’s it. After we asked to speak with a manager he didn’t bother to update us and just sat back down. Eventually the manager didn’t see an issue and got us the sauce as requested. They didn’t bother to rectify the situation or reduce the bill even after we complained about the taste. The manager didn’t seem bothered about the g7ash being on his mobile so seems to be the low standard of this place
