Nothing special. - Edit
I'm not sure why there are so many 4 star reviews for this place.. To be honest, you would do better at home yourself.

Delicious - Edit
We shared the vegetarian mezze platter between 2 of us - it can be veganised, and the waiter explained what we’d get in place of the cheese. He was very knowledgeable, and the food was great, and plenty of it!

A decent amount of variety, and the food we got was all very good. I had the vegan shoarma and really enjoyed it, well spiced, and the hummus was great.

Excellent food and service - Edit
We ordered a vegan mezze and a vegetarian option for our daughter we requested her meal not be too spicy. The food arrived really quickly, a description of the dish was given together with assurance each was vegan. This was the best vegan meal so far in Maspalomas

Very welcoming staff. No problem with telling you the vegan options. Mezzo for 2 can be made vegan and all bread was vegan. Sadly no dessert but was really full anyway.

Great food - Edit
We went there on a sunday evening in January, restaurant was quite empty. We could chose a nice table on our own. Food was tasty, I had the veg rice with veggies. Even though it looked boring it was very good. Bread is charged extra. Staff was friendly and knew several languages (English and German was no problem)

The food was lovely but we were charged for bread that we didn’t ask for and they didn’t give us our correct change with our receipt which left a sour taste after an amazing meal

Ok food - Edit
I've been here several times, the last time was in may this year for a lunch. The food is good, and the staff know what vegan is. I have enjoyed the food more at other occasions, don't know exactly why I didn't enjoy it that much this time around. The hummus is good, they have dishes with soy meat which I like. But they couldn't offer any dessert, which was a disappointment.

Ok, but nothing special - Edit
Got stuck at the worst table even though the restaurant was empty. The waitress was friendly and helpful, but the main guy had attitude.. didn't feel that comfortable. The ful medames was not like any ful I've had before, but the hummus and moutabal were tasty. Wouldn't go back though.

Absolutely delicious - Edit
Went with my friend and probably both agreed it was the tastiest place we had visited all holiday, we'd used their outside seating and the atmosphere was great, the food is absolutely amazing, staff are fairly knowledgeable on veganism too, offering flat bread with the houmous as it is made with soy milk I believe? Would definitely go back just to visit and have their garlic pots toes again

Tasty food, outstanding service - Edit
We ate here two times on our holiday (since vegan options are very limited in the area) and on our second evening were greeted like old friends. Upon leaving we couldn’t get a taxi, so one of the waiters took us back to our hotel in his own car. ❤️ Food was super good and fresh, too.

Loved it! - Edit
Sat outside in November. Very attentive waiters and they knew which dishes to suggest that were vegan.
Read moreWe tried to order more but the waiter advices we had already ordered enough and he was right 🤣. We had the roasted cauliflower which was my favourite, fried potatoes in garlic and corriander, stuffed vine leaves, humous, falafel, Aubergine dip and fresh out of the oven pitta bread.
The bread is now made with soya milk so can be enjoyed by everyone as they have had a lot more vegan customers.
Would recommend and will definitely come back next time I’m in Gran Canaria. Surprised about the previous negative reviews as we found the staff to be really lovely, kind & helpful plus advices us to not over order.
As I’m working here this weekend, local knowledge is that this is the best Lebanese in the city. 💚

Vegans be warned... - Edit
I really want to give this place a better review but the waiter was pretty off hand and seemed annoyed we'd turned up (at first we were their only customers).
Read moreThere's a big sign out front 'vegan food available' - I asked if we could be told the vegan options from the cold and hot mezze and was basically ignored (this wasn't due to a language barrier) and had to double check which of the options I thought might be vegan actually were.
After essentially guiding myself, we ordered the humous, motabel (baba ganoush), falafel (very tasty but three tiny balls for €5?), fatoush (which never turned up but was on the bill - we got it removed before paying), chilli potatoes (deep fried cubes of potato with no chili for €6) and roasted cauliflower. All the food that arrived was tasty but it came with such speed it concerned us how pre-cooked it was. Portions were small for the price.
My biggest issue other than the missing dish, poor service and portion size was that the humous and motabel dips turned up with no bread. I asked for the pitta, thinking it had been forgotten - nope, apparently none of their bread is vegan. Fine but why let vegans order two dips with nothing to eat them with. Either warn them they won't be served the bread, give them a discount on the dish or serve with veggie sticks to dip. We paid €10 for two bowls of dip with nothing to eat them with!
I wouldn't return or recommend this restaurant to vegans. I see another vegan recently had other negative issues here. What a shame as Lebanese is normally a great option!
Pros: The food that turned up was tasty
Cons: Expensive for small portions, No vegan bread or pitta so don't order dips, Poor service - incorrect order and bill.

Don’t go - Edit
Went here and had the vegan mezza, owner first brought us meat then came back and changed it for a vegan option. Later we also had a piece of meat in our soy skewer.
Read moreThe owner thought that vegans eat chicken...
The waiter was very pushy, telling us that we should drink a whole bottle of wine instead of one glass. On the bill he also charged us for way more than we actually had so we had to correct them.
It was super expensive, the food was already sitting around and not fresh.
Overall ambience was bad.

Expensive but delicious - Edit
My wife and I searched this restaurant out as there were no other vegan options close by.
Read moreThe restaurant appeared to be closed due to Covid-19 restrictions but we were met at the door and told we could order as long as we paid in cash.
The only option we were offered was a mezze for 2 which along with 2 beers and 2 portions of bread came to 58 euro which made for an expensive lunch.
Having said that, it was delicious, filling and lots of it.
Would happily return for the food, but not again at that price and with limited choice.

Very good food - Edit
Very good lebanese. We found the restaurant inexpensive: we shared six dishes and glasses of wine for 46€. Considering the quality of the food we were really happy and will return. No feel of scamming or pushing as some people have reported: I got the feeling they might suggest sharing the mezze platter because some people might not be familiar with lebanese cuisine and thus the platter would be a good introduction. Try the veggie shawarma!

Ok, but not great. - Edit
Not the best Lebanese food but tasty all the same. 2 members of staff encouraged us to buy the mezze platter (38 EUR for 2 people) and some wine before we had even looked at the menu or found the drinks section. Wine was quite expensive and this all felt rather pushy. Baklava was a little dryer than I've had before. There was a belly dancer which was quirky.

Great food but bad service - Edit
Lots of vegan options that are tasty. The service is not good and they charge for bread they serve without ordering. More than once they also "by mistake" have charged for a extra bread or drink even though it has not been ordered. So watch out. But food very good.

Food was good, but they gave us a bottle of wine instead of a glass, and gave the wrong, more expensive, food. It feels like they try to scam you on purpose.

Great Vegan Meal - Edit
The menu has a 'Vegetarian Mezzo' (sp?) option for two. We asked the chap (whom I presume is the owner) whether he could make a vegan version of it for us, and his response was "no problemo".
Read moreWe got fried potatoes, fresh salad, soya pieces, two types of hummous, bread, and a few other things which I don't know the names of.
It was all very tasty, and we left feeling full, which is a big deal as I have quite a big appetite.
38 Euros for the platter isn't cheap, but it was very enjoyable and we're likely to head back again while we're here. Quite possibly on Saturday night to check out the bellydancing! :-)
Pros: Range, Quality, Helpful staff
Cons: Not the cheapest, but not super-expensive either.

overpriced - Edit
Read the negative reviews on other sites before visiting. We did not enjoy this restaurant. Food was expensive and not much. Tax is not included in the price. Waiters are not too kind.
