I love Lebanese food. Here is a great, cheap place to enjoy Lebanese food in West End. While the place doesn't look inviting you won't be dissapointed with the food.

I have been a regular for over 20 years and in that time I have watched as "Walley" the owner serves many people and he rarely smiles ...people moan about the service but this is not a fine dining place so get real. The food is absolutely authentic and very reasonable. If they doubled or tripled their prices and had nice tables and smart uniforms would that make it better NO...I go their because it is so different. Highly recommend it !!!!!

Approximate cost: $12

Great food, the decor is very very simple, the food is so fresh ...authentic Lebo food at a realistic price. Sure they may not have matching uniforms or wear silly hats but this is so much better than ANY fast food joint.

Ok. You have to look past the service but these are the best kebabs in Brisbane. The tabouleh is lovely and fresh and the chicken kebab that I had today was absolutely delicious. At the prices charged they are obviously focussed on pumping the food out. No goodbyes or thankyous ...just on to the next customer!

Approximate cost: $5

I cannot tell whether it is the cheapest lebanese takeaway / dinning in place in Brisbane but I would easily believe it. Falafel kebab $4, any meat kebab is for $4.50. I used to have kebabs in DFO Airport or Carindale when needed a bite in middle of hunting for clothes. In comparison, I would pay twice as much in shopping centres or anywhere nearby CBD. What is more, kebab in King Ahiram is much healthier as meat does not taste greasy or marinated. Less than $5.00 for lunch or dinner is pretty good deal!

I also tried hummus plate and taste plate that I shared with my company. I think the cost was $10 or slightly over. Yet, you both are satisfied.

Anytime I go there, I am tempted to try some of their desserts, especially baklava that I have never had. Poppy seed cake they make is also dessert known in Czech cuisine. Although I do like it, I am not tempted to buy it here because it looks very greasy...trust me, it does not have to look greasy at all.

As others pointed out here, the service is not great but acceptable. What I particularly do not like is staff taking new orders while running behind with fulfilling the previous ones. So what happens, you can order kebab and customers who came in later would order anything that could be just put in paper bag/container and handed in...so they would serve the later customer while preparing your kebab. That process slows down service dedicated to your order, of course. You can easily end up still awaiting your order while another new three customers have been served and gone. That does not seem to be fair to me! I would think they have one person dedicated to making kebabs in peak time so customers ordering them are not disadvantaged. And yes, sometimes they are not very polite either...could be a cultural thing, who knows...

Approximate cost: $4-10

The service can vary wildly, from polite to distracted to outright short-tempered, but it's ultimately rather trivial when you consider the incredible value. We've gotten some very filling meals for two for under $10, and they can always be counted on for a quick fix.

This has got to be the best and cheapest Lebanese food in Brisbane. I'm so used to getting good inexpensive Lebanese food in Sydney and it's nearly impossible to get it here. I took 3 friends to eat there recently and we got out of it for $10 each. We were able to take our own wine and not get slugged extra charge for that. We were then able to go down the street and have dessert and coffee and it was all within the budget. It's not flash to look out, the service is quick if not over the top in class but it's the quality of the food that really counts. I wish there were more places like this in Brisbane then I'd be able to eat out more often.

Approximate cost: $10

Excellent lebanese food that has heaps of variety and is extremely well prices. The kebabs are a level above the other kebabs that you would buy from those kebab shops.
