Sama Chtaura

Delicious food, excellent service, and a very pleasant outdoor seating area. Everything was great from start to finish. Highly recommended this place!

Sama Chtoura is truly a gem in the Bekaa. From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed by a cozy atmosphere, elegant setting, and outstanding hospitality. The food is exceptional—fresh ingredients, rich flavors, and beautifully presented dishes that reflect authentic taste and quality. Every meal feels carefully prepared with love and attention to detail. The service is professional, friendly, and always attentive, making the whole experience relaxing and enjoyable. Whether for a family gathering, a special celebration, or a quiet dinner, Sama Chtoura never disappoints. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food and a memorable dining experience.

Tasty food, professional staff, all the orders were fully served in a friendly way. Variety of choices, even the dessert was super tasty. As for the kids they also had fun in the playing area we hardly noticed them. Recommended

What I mostly appreciated about the restaurant was the ample parking available right outside — though it’s under the sun — and the lovely landscaping with grass and trees, which gives a refreshing feeling of being away from the city. On the downside, the service was somewhat slow, and the food was generally mediocre, with the exception of the French fries and fattoush, which were outstanding. There’s a kids’ playground in the basement, which is a great feature, but I strongly recommend adding fans or air conditioning — it gets unbearably hot down there.

Mezza is delicious and food was overall decent. However, the experience was terrible. You need to ask for hot bread, many, many times 😅 we also asked for forks (that were supposed to be on every table in a normal restaurant) many times, and then we got two! (We were four people). As for the reservation, it’s also quiet bad.. we reserved a table on a view, all of them were empty since we arrived really early around noon and it started raining on us and they weren’t flexible at all, normally you have to move the table a little or replace it by another table with a view. Overall, you cannot enjoy good food if the experience is this poor…
