      Lira Beirut Eatery has become my absolute favorite dining spot in the area, and for good reason. With its incredible flavor profiles and unique dishes, each visit is a culinary adventure. I've had the pleasure of dining here multiple times, and I'm consistently impressed by the quality and consistency of the food. From their signature dishes to daily specials, every bite is a burst of authentic Lebanese flavors that keep me coming back for more.

      What sets Lira Beirut Eatery apart is not just its exceptional cuisine, but also the warm and welcoming atmosphere created by the friendly staff. Their hospitality truly enhances the dining experience and makes each visit memorable.

      The restaurant itself is cozy and intimate, which adds to its charm, but it does mean that space is limited. I highly recommend making a reservation to secure your spot, especially during peak hours.

      Overall, Lira Beirut Eatery is a one-of-a-kind gem in the neighborhood, offering delicious food, excellent service, and a cozy ambiance. Whether you're a fan of Lebanese cuisine or simply looking for a memorable dining experience, this place comes highly recommended.

      I've been searching for Lebanese food for a while in Miami, and I stumbled upon this treasure in Wynwood. This restaurant is obscurely tucked away surrounded by foliage. As you walk in, there is twinkling lights surrounding the foliage with Arabic music playing. This place would be excellent for hosting an event like a baby shower, engagement party or a birthday party due to the set up.
      We ordered a bunch of appetizers and the grilled branzino.
      Fattoush salad- 5/5, my favorite thing from the evening. The pomegranate sauce adds the perfect sweetness to the salad.
      Tabbouleh- 5/5, tasty, superb
      Beetroot hummus- 5/5, such a unique twist to hummus that has the be tried
      Eggplant fatteh- 5/5, I took a gamble on this one but WOW it was fantastic. Think of Mexican nachos, Lebanese style.
      Branzino- 3/5, I thought this would surpass my expectations but there were still fine bones present in the branzino which was disappointing. I felt it was lacking in flavor, but it was still good.

      For dessert, we ordered the kennafeh- 4/5. It was amazing! However, very small portion size as pictured.

      Overall, service was great, great ambiance, and food was spectacular. I'll be sure to return!

      Came on a Saturday night, the atmosphere is wonderful, we sat outside on the patio that had ample tables.
      Our waitress was incredibly friendly, and was able to really guide us in making choices for dishes. The style is very much shared plates, by husband and I shared about 4 total (which was plenty).
      The fried halloumi and and labneh were the star of the show, but there wasn't a bad dish that we ordered.
      I'd highly recommend this restaurant, it's perfect for a date night or before grabbing drinks in Wynwood (they do have a small beer and wine list, but no cocktails)

      Solid food and takes you away from Wynwood with their unique garden vibes (have to eat outside). The Kibeh was a bit salty but the chicken shawarma was perhaps one of the best I've ate. Must try this place.

      The tasty, authentic Lebanese cuisine, the cozy restaurant decor, the string lights, and the live jazz music on a Monday night played a key role in pleasantly surprising us. The service was not great to the point where it made us feel uncomfortable. The servers did not come check on us when we tried to wave them over, they even seemed to be ignoring us. We would have ordered much more wine and dishes, but we ended up having to leave instead.

      This place is a gem!!! I was visiting my family and they wanted to go to a Lebanese place so we were in Miami area and decided on this place. It's right at the beginning of Wynwood so very easy to find. Parking happened to be convenient for us this day too which was a plus. We parked at the side street on the first left of the road and walked right in. Outdoor seating was available, however if you are looking for an indoor table, it might be best to make a reservation because seating area looks smaller than their patio.

      We ordered a little bit of everything and decided to share plates so we had the kebabs, kafta, hummus, pita bread, yogurt dip, fettah, pickles, olives, two orders of Lebanese rice...it was all sooooo good!!! And to top it off, we got vegan ice cream desserts to share and the cheese dessert as well. It was a perfect family evening out and I would definitely come here again with my family, friends. The service was great and so friendly, they took great care of us during our visit here! :)

      My excitement was beyond belief to find this place. Coming from a middle eastern background, this was the perfect combination of a nice aesthetic place and great food.
      I love the combination of Arabic food in brunch and the tapas they provided. Everything there was very delicious so it's very hard to pinpoint which was the best.

      I also absolutely loved the decor, it is a touch of Egyptian and Lebanese culture .
      The staff was very friendly and provided great service.

      I'm happy to go back, but waiting on the weather to cool down a bit so I can enjoy their outside area!

      I have been wanting to try this place for a while. It is the newest Lebanese place in Wynwood.

      Make sure to reserve before hand because it was busy.

      The ambiance is great for a girly catch up or date. The food is to share.

      The hummus is real hummus. Everything was so fresh. The fries were the perfect crunch. The pita bread away fresh.

      The prices were reasonable. The flavors were perfect. The service was excellent.

      The knafeh bites were the perfect way to end the night. They had Arabic music also playing.

      I really enjoyed this spot. It gives Mandolin vibes but even better.

      LIRA Beirut Eatery is the newest restaurant to open at the edge of Wynwood.

      The restaurant is perfect for a date night, with a group of friends, or a lovely weekend lunch.
      Their outdoor area is spacious and Mediterranean in feeling. The Lebanese dishes that are here seemed authentic to Beirut. We loved the personal hospitality of their team and homestyle cooking. I recommend you share the hummus , muhammara red pepper dip, eggplant fetteh, kibbeh labnieh and many others. The house red wine is very good. We didn't have room for dessert after trying almost everything in just the appetizer section. Can't wait to go back.

      I was in town with 3 of my girlfriends and we really enjoyed our meal and time here. The staff and manager were so kind and responsive. The patio was gorgeous and a wonderful way to enjoy the great weather on an early December night. The food was fantastic - we had hummus, Octopus, the Chicken and multiple desserts and everything was divine. One note, they are beer and wine only. No cocktails. I'd highly recommend checking this place out. Good for smaller groups or a date night.
