I had the Sambousek Jebnah; Adas Soup; then a fish dish, and one of the kebab dish. They taste delicious. Ambience does show a lot of character, what a meticulous effort to bring the Lebanese flair into the dining experience. Will definitely return, but please try to get rid of mosquitoes? My friend from Germany was having a challenging time getting distracted by bugs/mosquitoes.

Seriously, this place has the best customer service ever. The manager address me by name even though I’ve never been there before, and is very polite. Asked me twice about my food and if there is something that he can help me with. I said that I’m on a valentine dinner with my gf and he immediately said that he has a leftover flover from yesterday’s valentine’s day and gave me and my gf one. The food is delicious and even though its quite expensive, i think that its worth it and would reccommend it highly to anyone who’s interested in having a middle eastern / lebanese food in jakarta 😊 (p.s. the waiter / waitress happily explains the food to their customer who’s never had a lebanese food before, so dont worry!)

Tried their Saturday Night BBQ buffet a couple months ago and it was a blast!Menu andalan dan paling favorite bergaya Middle Eastern tersaji dengan mewah dan all of them taste YUM! Emang ga heran Al Nafoura banyak menang penghargaan The Best Middle Eastern Restaurant category for years.Buffet dimulai dari appetizer seperti cold mezzeh seperti Hummus, Tabouleh, Babaganoush dll lengkap dengan Pita Bread, lalu Hot Mezzeh ada Samosa dan beberapa macam bakar2an dari mulai kofta, daging sapi, kambing hingga seafood macem udang dan ikan.Ga sampe di situ, buffet main course juga banyak banget mulai dari Lamb Shank, Nasi Kebuli dengan lamb di tengah, Fish Harra dan lainnya masih banyak lagi.Untuk dessert juga ada beberapa kreasi sweet delights khas Timur Tengah (baklava etc) ada juga yang khas international. Ga tanggung2 ada Turkish Ice Cream dengan pilihan topping. Kalo ice cream ga ada di display tapi karena staff pelayannya ramah, cekatan and they're into details pasti ditanyain mau apa kaga jadi another plus point.Di sela-sela buffet dinner juga tiap jam pengunjung akan dihiburkan dengan Belly Dance jadi ambiance middle easternnya biar makin kental berasa. Totally recommended!

Rich flavour, fascinating variety and great ambience. Their name is bigger than the hotel itself.Al Nafoura offers you a rich delightful cuisine experience from several mid eastern countries. Some dishes may seemed similar but wait until you taste all of those distinct rich flavour.My advice is keep some belly space for their desserts.Cheers

After years, we came back here for a middle eastern fiest. We had the cold tasting platter, mixed kebab, mixed grill, braised lamb shamk, grilled salmon and a big pot of lobster and clam bisgue. The platter was a fun and very good starters. We dipped our pita bread into selection of hummus, parsley salad and other tasty dressings. The kebab was tender and adequately spiced. The salmon was standard. What impressed us were the braised lamb shank and lobster/clam bisgue. The lamb was so tender and tasty while the lobster and the clams were not over cooked in its savory bisque. Overall, we would say that it put just right spice across the dishes.

Having extensively eaten Lebanese food in Dubai and Jordan, I find the food here average. Nothing unpleasant but lacks that touch of authenticity.Have eaten here twice..... No complaints but can do better. Needs more flavor and seasoning.

Ambience 8/10 - felt like we were in a proper middle eastern setting.Food 9/10- pizza and lamb shank was fantastic. Very rich and full of flavorService 6/10 - quite slow as we were sitting outside , had to manually call servers.Shisha 3/10- came specifically to shisha, flavor died out quickly and coals were not even proper very small and looked like chunked bits instead, change of coals from server was irregular.Would give this a respectable 3.5/5

The ambiance of the restaurant is very warm and cozy with rustic middle eastern decor and classical music. In Ramadan there is a live ensemble playing daily. The menu is advertised as Lebanese, but from the menu reading I sensed a mixed Middle Eastern vine with echoes of Morocco, Turkey, Lebanon, and Arabia in general. The warm friendly welcome must have a balance that actually meets the customer needs. Too much attention boarders on hovering over a table and does not allow for an intimate dining experience if your a couple. There is too much time in between entering the outlet and being presented with food. Suitable nibbles or dips are usual in middle eastern culture, but this generosity is absent here. The cold refreshing towels would be more appealing if they were warm for my preference. The set menu is only acceptable if you do not order the sea food grill (my meal) as it arrived looking like a snack plate ( see picture) very poor value for money any one would certainly be left hungry. White rice is not an Arabic tradition with fish dishes, so cultural accuracy is an issue. Very nice cold mezza, good soup and delicious desert did not compensate from leaving a very high priced outlet without a proper full plate of food. Dine in the Le Brasserie restaurant or use your Club Lounge privilege free of charge. The food in those locations is faultless and endless if you have a buffet service. This restaurant does a Buffet on a Saturdays. I’ve seen the set up and the choice is much less than Le Meridian La Brasserie. Drinks use non- mineral water ice so travelers be aware of this fact. I had to return mine after checking. Customer service satisfaction needs attention as I expressed my dissatisfaction openly about my very basic meal. I was offered a second plate of the same poorly flavored fish skewers and plain boiled rice, so I feel the message of my problem was not fully appreciated. I’ve seen better kids meals than that so don’t waste your time in theme park Arabic contexts that offer little food satisfaction. Free tea was charged then uncharged, so poor team work and management is clear here.

Visited the resto with F&B team to explore the Lebanese food taste the food was nice the presentation was ok , my friends enjoyed the mix grill and shawarma , as vegetarian I tried hummus , fattoush and batata Harra the taste was good , baklava was basic but also not bad comparing to original one , I liked the fresh Lebanese bread baked on spot , the only thing u I didn’t like was the shisha that lacks taste I was served an old one first and then I asked to change it and I got a new one but taste still not good comparing to other places .. they have to work on improving it ... especial thanks to the Lebanese chef Ahmad for the amazing welcoming !
