Today, my friend and I had Lebanese food for dinner. I used TheFork application to book a place and there was a 30% discount for the selected time and day. I had Lebanese food three times - the first time in 2019 at Feyruz for lunch, second time in 2020 at Feyruz again (and it was with discount from The Fork too) and the latest was in 2022 at Tabbouli which was my best experience with Lebanese food.
For Beirut Bistro, I would not do a second visit or recommend the place. The portion is small and the food is not exceptionally special. I wondered if the food portion is small due to the 30% discount. With the 30% discount, we paid 419,30kr instead of the original price of 599kr.
I had a Meze mix plate 255kr, that consisted of Hummus (chickpea paste), muhamara (paprika paste), creme toum (garlic cream), tabbouli, falafel, sambosek (minced beef pie), jowaneh michvie (chicken wing), halloumi (cheese), rakakat (cheese roll), potato wedges (I chose potato wedges) or rice. I read the definition of tabbouli in Wikipedia and I did not taste lemon juice and did not see any bulgur. I am unsure if there is tomato too. Hmm. The first layer on the plate is a lot of potato wedges and the top layer is the mix of small dishes. I thought the mix plate will have two of each small dish. This reminded me of my eating experience at Swedish Diner by Basilica at Mall of Scandinavia. Two giant potatoes under the thinly-sliced meat. I felt cheated then.
Tabbouli is the green salad on the plate. Here is the definition from Wikipedia - finely chopped parsley, soaked bulgur, tomatoes, mint, and onion, seasoned with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and sweet pepper.
A short definition of meze from Wikipedia - Meze is a selection of small dishes served as appetizers in Eastern Mediterranean cuisines. It is similar to Spanish tapas and Italian antipasti. A meze may be served as a part of a multi-course meal or form a meal in itself.
For dessert, we shared baclava and ice-cream 89kr. There is a dessert of baclava only for 75kr. My friend pointed out that the ice-cream costs 14kr. Expensive... But we took with the ice-cream anyway. Good thing that we could share the cost.
