A very welcoming staff, thanks Oscar!, and good food being served here. We were a large group and ordered both the hot and cold appetizer samplers which all delicious, definitely give the babaganoush a try. Also tried their kibbeh nayyeh which when mixed well is delicious. We ordered the family dinner and all the meats were cooked just right, flavorful and juicy. I washed everything down with a cold glass of Almaza beer. Cheers!

We had a delicious family dinner with generous portions. The 3 of us ordered the $75 plate to share, baba ganoush and hummus. With a 20% tip and tax, the bill came to $135. There was enough to take home and have leftovers for a week. It was cold and rainy outside and we sat underneath a nice gas heater. The owners have decorated it as best as they could, considering that the restaurant is essentially a parking lot with trellis-like dividers as walls. That's the reason I gave it 4/5 for atmosphere.

Although we had reservation for seven people and there were four other tables (2 to 4) people each, our food was delayed tremendously and came one at the time with l10 minutes between each plate. The order for one of us came after all of us finished our food. The server did his best, when we complained to the manager, he said that the kitchen was backed up with takeout orders. They still charged us 20% service fee for a horrible service. They were serving other tables that came after us leaving us to the end because they knew that they will collect the 20% no matter how bad the service was. We were asking for water and they would not provide. Horrible service. The owner called me and threatened me to remove the bad review otherwise he will write fourth fake reviews on my business that I have not dealt with. This is how the owner deals with reviewers who express their experiences with the restaurant. The owner Rolan Karam just added a fake and false review on Zillow . This is how dishonest he hid as I have never helped with any real estate transaction.

Excellent service but even more excellent food. Lebanese food and music in the background mid week and our waitress Hale said they have a DJ on Fridays and belly dancing on Saturdays. We came late Tuesday evening and it was pretty slow as the fast food service on the other side of the restaurant seemed to get the majority of the business. We sat in the restaurant side called Bei and it was surprisingly absent road noise and my sister really appreciated the lighting. Good atmosphere but the food and service will be the most impressive thing about the meal. Will return again soon.

This is a new favorite. I can’t think of what could have been better! The vibe was cozy and hip and warm even though it was raining outside, the music on the speakers was great, the drinks were strong and well made, the service was top notch (shout out to Ben) and of course the food! The food was amazing! I got the chicken shawarma plate and it came with large portions of six delicious flavorful and addictive dishes including my new favorite chicken of all time. I can’t wait to go again 🤤

Save your money and your time. Avoid BEI Restaurant.
The staff was rude and unprofessional. Roland and Eric ruined our family Christmas celebration. The couple was dismissive and disrespectful throughout our visit.
We waited over two hours for our food with no explanation, no update and no apology. Despite repeated attempts to get assistance, we were ignored. Eventually, we left without ever being served.
No restaurant should treat its customers this way, especially on a holiday.

Enjoyed the food here. Very Lebanese with some favorites from other cultures. The only problem was it was too cold because of the outdoor room with the heat not being enough. Would come back again but only in the warmer weather.
Oscar was great and a cute spot - food was excellent but would help to have updated restrooms.

The food and service were excellent. Such a beautiful restaurant the staff was so kind especially Tommy. Looking forward to coming here over and over again, so glad this is located in Orange County.

YES YES YES YES! A million times YES!
I am Lebanese and this is probably one of the best authentic middle eastern Lebanese places I’ve ever been to!
Flavor was on point, customer service was amazing, food was WOW and the ambience was very nice.
Come here with your eyes closed and don’t worry about a thing. You’re gonna have a great experience!
