Al-Ajami

Came here recently for a business dinner with office colleagues. The food was wonderful, the service was highly personalized and overall, we had a wonderful time as a group.
Their food is Lebanese and Middle eastern staples- a good collection of Mezzes (Hummus, Babaghanoush, Moutabel, Tabbouli, etc) with pita bread. We tried a 3 course meal which came with mezzes initially followed by a HUGE portion size main course (I had a halloumi cheese grilled wrap) and then desserts. In hindsight, the quantity was large and we should have ordered lesser- but food was top notch. There are also ample
Vegetarian options across the board. Nice place, thank you to everyone for their service and tasty food. Will be back here again when we visit Paris

Second time coming to this place and I can say the service is the worst I've experienced anywhere.
Not only are they ride and inattentive, but the food takes forever to arrive. By the time you get the food obviously the wine is finished but you wouldn't dare to ask for anything else but the check.

My friend and I were on an adventure exploring Paris and decided to stop for lunch. We wandered around trying to find the right place and I insisted we stop at Al-Jami. I had a feeling the food would be good;?actually I had to make up for a past error.
I have say my instincts were correct. The food was a symphony in my mouth. If you are in Paris, please stop in for a bite.

Very expensive for the food that you are getting. You can get a much better Lebanese​/Mediterranian​ food from an average restaurant​.
And the service was ver poor

Worst place to have food. The beef shawarma tasted realy bad and they brought in toasted pita with nothing beside it. The tabuly was not great either. The place is a total rip off.
Don't go.

Terrible food and terrible service! The French are not known for their great service, however they are more graceful and at least don't kiss ass based on appearance. It's sad. Mark Zackerberg, Bill Gates etc dress normal and they might not get a great service at this restaurant if the waiters and owners didn't recognize them. These Muslims waiters and Arab Muslim owner are snobby and wanna be French. They need to look in the mirror and remember that they are Arabs! They were rude and snobby to other Arabs as well, if they didn't have any fancy jewelry!

The food is average and doesn't match the price expected. Let alone the service, don't get me started lol

At least at this dumb you have a smaller risk for getting shot by a Muslim terrorist since it's a Muslim establishment lol

This was our best meal in Paris. Service was fine. We had some recommendations from our server. Kebbeh Hamis and the Sunday night special Dajaj Mehshi. Both were extraordinary dishes to us. We loved the hummus. I can't compare to other similar restaurants in Paris but this was great. Maybe a bit pricey but we had 4 appetizers and shared one main dish for 78€. Great quiet seat next to the window.

We've visited Al-Ajami on so many occasions because we've made it a point to have dinner at this restaurant on every visit to Paris. I've even written glowing reviews on it!

Unfortunately, after many disappointing visits since my original review, I feel compelled to do an update.

The Service: The most frustrating experience in the world is trying to get served at this restaurant. Unless you speak Arabic (we don't) you will be ignored and your order will be delayed. We've experienced this on at least 3 visits to Al-Ajami. Our latest visit was an exercise in trying to get our server's attention to order, to figure out where our food was after a 45 minute wait, and to get our bill. Not a pleasant dining experience.

The Ambiance: Such a pretty restaurant but there are way too many tables crammed in now. We were hidden behind a wall and next to a staircase and couldn't move our chairs. It was claustrophobic.

The Food: Everything used to be delicious but not anymore! I still suggest the Fattoush salad, which is fantastic. Everything else (chicken, labne, foul) was NOT good.

The Prices: This place is not cheap so why pay for average food and terrible service?

Overall: I wouldn't recommend this place at all and see from other reviews that others agree. We won't be returning.

Incredible food with no nonsense service. Have been going whenever in Paris for about 5 years, and the food is always consistent. Semi-formal dining room and intimate ambiance matches the high quality, authentic food. Fattoush salad is second to none, and the mixed grill kebab is a nice way to try a few kinds of juicy, tasty meats. Chicken is the best kebab meat. I would say the hummus is typical, but really nice pairing with a very fresh, warm pita, every time. Great Lebanese wine list as well.

The best Lebanese restaurant in Paris. Super legend inside. The food is great and the deserts not to mention. Very well located. It really deserves five stars. I never miss it when in Paris.
