Barbounia

“My wife and i celebrated her birthday. Food was great! Service was fantastic! The restaurant looks amazing! our server Timur gave us a wonderful experience and was very professional. They even gave us the best table in the house as per my request! Over all 10/10 experience! We highly recommend this restaurant and well be coming back!”

“Yeah just a heads up I’m gonna be glazing on this one. Barbounia is of my top five restaurants in the city. Every dish on the menu ranges from very good to outstanding, and the service is consistently polished and professional. Despite its popularity, the restaurant strikes the perfect balance - energetic and bustling without ever feeling overcrowded. I’ve been here for date nights, large group dinners, and solo meals at the bar, and it excels in every setting. The soaring ceilings, warm lighting, and comfortably moderate noise level create an exceptional atmosphere that’s both lively and inviting. Tonight’s martini was impeccably crafted, the octopus was tender and flavorful, and the steak was cooked to perfection paired with an Italian red (Chianti Classico, a Tuscan stalwart). A special shoutout to the tall Argentinian bartender (Johan?) who is the epitome of hospitality behind the bar. Knowledgeable, personable, and effortlessly attentive, he elevates the entire experience and makes every visit feel memorable. Barbounia continues to deliver one of the most consistently excellent dining experiences in the city.”

“Friends and I tried this restaurant for dinner. We were seated on time, in the middle of a beautiful dining room. The menu is extensive with a good variety of mezze, appetizers, soup and salad, mains and dessert. The wine menu also has a good selection of domestic and international wines. We ordered a couple of mezze, the Portugal Grilled Octopus and the Kalamata Olive Flatbread for appetizers. These were very delicious, particularly the octopus which was tender and well seasoned. For entrees we tried the short rib tagine and the lamb kofta kebab terracota. These were also delicious. For dessert we shared the Silan and the Rosewater Panacotta. We were disappointed with the desserts. The Silan was overly sweet and the panacotta was unexciting. Overall we enjoyed our dinner at Barbounia. The service was friendly and efficient. And the atmosphere was lively.”

“I think I enjoyed the beautiful atmosphere possibly more than my dinner. My friend and I shared the short rib tagine and the grilled octopus. She loved her cocktail, mine was just ok. I can't remember the name of our dessert but it was my favorite part of the meal Overall It was good, and i'm glad I went, but i'd probably only go back for more of that dessert.😋”

“Barbounia was a great place to share a meal with coworkers, especially since the menu is built well for trying a variety of dishes together. Everything we had was good and the overall experience felt polished and enjoyable. That said, nothing really blew me away. The food was solid across the board, but there was not a particular dish that made me immediately want to come back for it. The lamb chops were probably my favorite part of the meal. They were flavorful and cooked well, though I will say they felt a bit pricey for the portion you actually get. The atmosphere is lively and works really well for group dinners or work outings where you want a nice meal in a comfortable setting. Overall, I am glad I got to experience it, but I am not sure it is a place I would rush back to anytime soon. 🍽️🙂”
