Good Lebanese food in rom! I had already believed one because after hummus, and that definitely meets the point. not sure what is the negative assessments, but if they like the middle east tariff, they will enjoy this place.
Grande hooker eccellente mojto servizio non alcoholic veloce e amichevole- Cucina libanese ottimo prezzo di qualità di compromesso
Ottimo ristorante libanese, ben ambiente, ottimo cibo, servizio buono e discreto. Ci siamo trovati molto bene. È un po' caro devo dire, ma d'altronde è in zona Via Veneto dove nulla è a prezzi bassi.
Disappointing one, this. Sometimes you pay excessively for a location, but you don't really mind. Other times the extra cost just sours what has already been a mediocre experience. This was the latter case. Mandaloun is located in a pretty street just off Via Veneto, Rome's luxury hotel district. In fact, I think we were the only locals dining here, managing to bag a pretty outside table on the quiet street. Specialising in Lebanese food, we were offered bread with olives and sour cream while waiting for our order. Starting with an absolutely fine but standard mixed mezze, featuring hummus, babba ganoush and tabbouleh, the drinks took ages to arrive, and in my case, was a fairly average industrial 33cl beer which had been advertised as a specialist beer from Lebanon. The mixed mezze costs around 22 euros in two, which is a lot considering the cost of the ingredients, but the taste was good so it wasn't a problem. For my main course, I selected a lamb shank with rice combined with pine-nuts that cost €18. This was pretty disappointing. The lamb was well cooked and to my taste, although slightly subtle in flavour for another member of our party. The rice was seriously overcooked with that unpleasant, crumbly texture and no taste at all. I decided not to order anything else after this disappointing meal, but other diners in my party ordered mint tea to complete the meal. This turned out to be a cheap, ceramic pot containing Lipton black tea bags with a few straggles of fresh mint. For those of you who have spent any time in Italy, you'll know that finding good tea can be tricky but not impossible. A restaurant like this should be serving genuine mint infusions, if not entirely made from fresh mint, then sourcing quality dried tea-bags. Sorry, but this was an absolute disgrace. Lipton is the cheapest and poorest supermarket brand of tea, and I would have been livid if I'd ordered this as there's no way I would want to be drinking black tea in any case at midnight. Just totally wrong and a symbol of the cheapness of this place which pretends five star prices for careless cooking and essentially basic ingredients. The bill? €40 per head. Wow. Just wow.
