Lebanon Restaurant & Cafe

Excellent local restaurant. Staff super friendly and welcoming and helpful with explaining the menu. Food is soooo delicious and homemade with all the beautiful spices and fresh ingredients. We tried the wraps with big chunks of delicious lamb, babaganoush eggplant dip, fresh pita, spanokopita spinach pie. So yummy! They also have some international drink options. I highly recommend and can’t wait to go back.

My new Favorite place to eat in Spokane!! How did we not know this restaurant was Here? Apparently, they have been here 3 years and we don’t get to Spokane often. But Finally we have an excellent option for lunch, dinner or appetizers when we do get downtown! I'm half Lebanese and was raised on home cooked authentic Lebanese cuisine and the offerings rivaled my mother's, grandmother's and aunties' cooking. I ordered at least 5 different options to sample in order to determine quality and frankly everything looked amazing so it was hard to choose- lol
First- we started with the Tabouleh. My hubby is from the south as in Mississippi, but he Loved it! It was delicious and fresh. On to the Kofta skewer. Tender, flavorful and just charred enough on the outside- my favorite of the entire meal. Then I ordered the cheese and meat patties. The dough for the actual patties were sooooooo good I wished they offered either a mini bread basket or side of just the dough or whatever it was they made their patties with. Yum. My husband ordered a traditional and 'safe' gyro that came with the seasoned fries. Loved the fries and we both enjoyed the gyro- but most gyros are good so for me it didn't stand out as a place to go to just for gyros especially since all the offerings are a bit on the pricey side. And the best Taziki I've ever had- which came with both patty dishes and the gyro...great consistency and tangy/flavorful.
The price for me is worth it if you want authentic delicious Lebanese/Mediterranean food which we can't find everywhere. But I wouldn't go just for the gyros (you must try the other options- for a full experience), although they were very good- similar to a price of a good burger in most areas ($17) though so I'd pick the gyro over a burger as it was full of meat- and tasty. We ended with a fresh made rice pudding to go. Will definitely go back- often. Highly recommend when you are looking for something unique and delicious. Also, my husband reported bathrooms are super clean. The outside seating looks very nice, but due to the heat, we sat inside.
Finally, our server helped round out a very positive and enjoyable dining experience- friendly, helpful and relaxed- just an all around great vibe.

The place has hole in the wall vibes and a beautiful outdoor eating atmosphere. We ate outside since it was a nice day. It is on the same block as the deaconess hospital so you will hear the helicopter flying about occasionally but that didn’t stop us from enjoying the moment!

Madelyn was our server and she was awesome! Very sweet and welcoming (since it was our first time there) and she was so informative as far as the menu went. We appreciated her service so much.

The food was incredible! For what looked like a small meal (three meat pies and a side of sweet potato fries) it was so filling! Then we topped it off with a delicious baklava milkshake! I felt like I bit off more then I could chew with that alone. (Pun intended)

Will definitely be making it a regular spot moving forward!

2nd visit update:
Today was a little disappointing compared to the first visit. We ate inside and and we got the chicken shawarma. That was a big mistake. The gyro meat here is awesome but the shawarma was extremely overseasoned and not enjoyable. The bathrooms were both disgusting and out of toilet paper and one had feces on the floor. They are not directly in the restaurant but in a hallway that is shared. But still you need to keep it clean if that's where your customers will be using the bathroom.

It was our first time here today. I have been wanting to try this place based on the pictures and reviews. They have a cute little outdoor patio in a nice area that feels safe. We got an appetizer sampler so it had a good variety. The hummus is probably the best hummus I've ever had in my life. The super soft pita bread is one of the best as well. I didn't care for the stuffed grape leaves. The falafel was good and the taziki was awesome. We shared gyro and it was plenty big enough for two people to share. Our server was friendly and I believe one of the others came out and was pouring water with lemon and she was super nice and thanked us for coming. We had rice pudding for dessert and it had pistachios and rose petals on top. Super yummy. I definitely would love to come back to you try more things. Highly recommend. There is street parking as well on a meter and it was only $1.55 for 2 hours.

A wonderful place to go for a nice, vegetarian meal. We ordered 2 falafel and hummus wraps with a large Greek salad. We also picked up some excellent nougat - 2 for $5, and 3 dumplings for $5. All of it was delicious and will come back again. The server was kind and patient. Will be back for more!
