Loving it Lebanese. This little gem of a place is a must visit and its halaal.As you enter, the aroma of warm bread captivates all your senses and from that moment you know your day is going to get better.Warm friendly service, lovely decor, a happy place, free wifi access, so chill, chat and enjoy.My darling and I had a 1.Tasting Plate(warm pita with several dips) 2.Fatayer (Spiced meat filled triangle), 3.Falafel Platter (falafel covered in sesame seeds, yummy, some pickles, salad and dips) coupled with Turkish Coffee and Latte. I loved the warm, soft and fresh pitas, yum yum. The dips were many and all with their own flavours. The taste of cardammon flavour of the coffee was an experience. Not bad, but not a favourite for me.They have fresh juices, coffees and teas. Next time I will try the hibiscus tea. Mint is already a favourite for me.This place is an experience not to be missed. They also do takeaways and sell various jams, teas, breads, dips and more, to stock up on your new favorites. Lots foodie gifting ideas available.

Freshly made authentic Lebanese awesomeness!!! Food is divine and great service. A must visit. Place was busy when we visited with family but the lady in charge made a plan and in no time we were indulging in some divine Middle Eastern cuisine! They also have freshly made juices and not to mention one of the best Turkish coffee I tasted in Cape Town!

This little cafe/bakery is brilliant. The food is delicious (possibly the best falafel in Cape Town) and the service is excellent. I never miss their Tuesday 2-for-1 falafel sandwich special!

Absolutely love their food. So fresh and healthy. Tuesdays are the best, they currently have a 2 for 1 on their falafel sandwich. Scrumptious!!Intended to take a pic but it didnt last long enough. My colleague got lucky and got the freebie also enjoyed it. She said it was delicious 😋.

Utterly delicious, fresh, quality food. Dont miss their buy-one-get-one-free falafel sandwiches on Tuesdays. The grocery section is also great and has hard-to-find items, like loose hibiscus tea, olive paste and freshly made pita, at very reasonable prices.

Review №27

This delightful deli is worth a visit for the freshly baked pita alone! Amazing selection of dips, olives and deliciousness. Ive taken a point off for lack of parking, although they are available via Uber eats, but unfortunately not in my area, and whilst the falafel were tasty, they were quiet dense. I adored every one of the 4-5 dips we bought and the marinated olives were sublime, Ill buy two containers next time for sure! Staff were friendly and helpful, definitely worth a visit

A quaint cafe, situated opposite Melomed Claremont.The cafe is ideal for light Middle Eastern meals with friends, family, or by yourself. The hummus is tasty and anything with zataar is always a good choice.The menu has a variety of beverages that range from traditional to contemporary.The cafe is suitable as a work space.The owner is friendly and sweet.Items are moderately priced.Fully halal.

Review №42

Horrendously expensive. I ordered 3 sides and 2 orders of bread and I paid R300 expecting a large portion size, but only received about a cup of each side and 2 flat breads. The baba ganoush was good, but the rest was not worth the price. Maybe my mistake was ordering through UberEats, but even so, too pricey.

We just loved the whole experience of eating Lebanese bread filled with Halloumi cheese, the other one had Spinach and Feta, the pizza looking one is an Egg and Cheese and all three was divine, the owner is very humble and friendly doesnt mind telling your stories of the pics displayed in the Bakery its all of where your comes from Beirut, I asked him to make me a authentic Lebanese drink and he brought me a drinking youghurt on the menu called Leban its very refreshing, I could taste mint and maybe coriander, will definately visit again and try there lunch menu with another Laban was delicious

I just wanted to say that I ordered 100 pita breads from the Lebanese Bakery, and I simply have to compliment this business for their extraordinary customer service. Upon placing my order, they called to find out when exactly I needed these pitas, when I told them I only needed them on Saturday, they had freshly baked all 100 of them on the day for me. Where do you get service like this? The quality was exceptional and my guests complimented on the quality and freshness of them, and a lot of word of mouth referrals to your wonderful establishment was given. See you all soon 🌷

Khalid is an absolutely incredible host.This is hands down the best establishment in Cape Town for an authentic Lebenese experience.Everything is freshly made from scratch, with some imported extras on sale too.Well done team, keep up the excellent work and fantastic service.

Review №56

Highly recommended! I never thought I would have proper manakish (flat bread served traditionally with thyme, cheese or meat) anywhere outside the middle east!The place is small and cozy and the smell of freshly baked bread and kaak will definitely lure you in. They also serve homus (chick pea dip) and mutabal (smoked aubergine dip) in addition to a selection of teas and coffee.The owners are very friendly and attentative, and all products served are halal.

Review №78

My best thing to do is get piping hot pitas, falafel, butternut dip, harissa and toumeya and drive to my favourite park, to sit under a tree and relish it all! I also love the chilli dipping breads which make for a great snack. A charming little piece of Lebanon right in Claremont! The flavours are mind blowing and I can’t stop returning for more!

Review №79

Really good authentic and fresh eastern food. Tried the Muhammara, Baba Ganoush and Hummus with Kaak bread. Its a bit more expensive than youd expect but you can taste a clear difference between this and store bought or even local hummus. Staff were really keen to explain their products, and make recommendations. Definitely going back for their meat and falafel options. Also, their pomegranates are really cheap.
