We had an exceptional experience here. We started with a few whiskey based cocktails that were all delicious. Cafe Munir is family style serving, groups should order 1-2 small plates per person and .5-1 grill plates per diner, depending on appetite. Food arrives fairly quickly so if youre still hungry, its easy to order more. We left the meal full and incredibly happy, even excited to come back again. Our service was friendly, helpful, and flawless. The grilled skewers we ordered came as perfectly charred and juicy morsels of beef and the kafta was well seasoned (balanced) and still maintained a delicious mild lamb flavor. Every dish was beautiful and delicious. Dont pass up the Hommous bil Lahm ou Snobar, its remarkable.

Amazing adventure in culinary delights! Experienced this place for the first time last Sunday when they do chefs choice. So many plates of different foods.... we were totally amazed by the exotic tastes and variety of dishes. If you are looking for an authentic Lebanese dining experience, we highly recommend that you go to Cafe Munir. Rajah and his staff treated us like family. I especially loved the house made ginger ale, fresh fig and herb salad, & the muhallabia (Lebanese milk pudding) with baklava were to die for! Cant wait to return for more!

We made reservations for the first time in a Sunday and were pleasantly surprised to find out that Sundays are "chef surprise" day. Chef surprise means there is no menu that day, just dishes that the kitchen has prepared are brought out to surprise and delight you. Plates of food were brought out that were so delicious we all oohed and aahed. Im looking forward to trying the menu some day.

The restaurant is stiflingly hot. Large glass window panes and doors facing the sun do not make for comfortable dining. Solution: drink copious arak--a delightful middle eastern liquor that is somewhat akin to absinthe. The food was good, staff were very attentive and friendly.

Just delicious. The bubbling lamb with hummus is incredibly savory and addictive. We ordered five dishes (each about $8) for two adults and it was more than enough to be satisfied and still leave with leftovers. We will be back soon.

Authentic!! Im of Middle Eastern decent, and can tell you that this place tastes so authentic, youll think you were at my Dads bbq, if youve been. Thatcher was a fantastic waiter too. Quit reading and go there already!

Been here at least 5 times already.Menu doesnt try to look sophisticated but it is sophisticated. The largest Arak selection Ive seen in Seattle. Service was always good. Try the lamb hummus and stuffed pita with lamb.

Very tasty, lovely atmosphere. Chicken skewers with garlic sauce were my favorite. Excellent service. Very fine meal and reasonably priced. 4 out of 5 stars because roasted cauliflower tasted and looked burnt.

Excellent food and service, but its a very noisy place so that conversation is hampered. Could be greatly alleviated by sound absorbing material hanging from the ceiling such as acoustic tile.

Absolutely delicious! Food was amazing, everything was unique and distinct in flavor. Service was outstanding and friendly. Busy but not too loud and reasonable wait times when busy.

Oh Wow.. What a nice simple food and fresh usage of local crops such as figs etc., enjoyed creativity by the chef of salads, appitizers and entrees. Very reasonably priced indeed.

A small part of me wants to rate this less so I can always get in the door. Hands down the best restaurant in Seattle. And at a great cost. If 5++++ stars existed this would be it.

The food here is definitely AUTHENTIC. This is probably one of the few middle eastern restaurants Id recommend to any of my friends. Order the Hummus w/ Lamb!

Solid food, portions are reasonable, and staff is nice. Most menu items are without any sides, so remember to order something to go along.

Excellent atmosphere and delicious food. A little on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for. I recommend the bubbling lamb humus.

Polite service. Cold flat bread and horrible Lebanese. Everything was lukewarm and taste off.
