    Fantastic as always. The mezze is outstanding and quality of every dish never disappoints. This is my go to place and I always have an amazing time bringing NYC guests here. A little noisy but also fun and a pretty ambience and space. Portion sizes are massive though- would be helpful for servers to warn people of that!

    The best bottomless brunch in Manhatten. All of the food is of the highest quality. Service is outstanding ,prompt and the staff is extremely friendly and always smiling. Both myself and my wife love this place. We recommend this place to everyone we know. Must haves are the amazing spreads with the freshly made bread, there dry aged burger is incredible and there lamb sandwich is my favorite go too.

    It was a great meal with plenty of vegetarian/ pescatarian options and small plates to easily share. The short rib was also very very good. Patio is great if you want a quieter environment!

    Food was excellent - we didn't love the idea that you have to order your entire meal at once. Would prefer that the default option is a little more flexible. But the waitstaff indulged us and we really appreciated the flexibility especially since most of the table was vegetarian and the mains didn't work for them. The food was excellent and the service was attentive and warm.

    The food is always good at Barbounia. There were a few hiccups with this visit. The table I reserved for a special occasion was occupied, the waitress was very dry, not very hospitable, and did not check on us, etc. Could have been an off night for her. Aside from that the other servers were very attentive.

    We were rushed for the entire meal. We barely had our food or drinks for a mere moment before asking if we were finished trying to get red us, despite the fact the entire place was empty since it was the start of the day, and there was not an incoming lunch rush. I would not recommend this place if you are looking to have a conversation with another person you're eating with - it's quiet but staff will come by every 10 min to ask if you're done - but great for a quick bite if you wanna rush your food and drinks I guess.

    Noisy to the point of causing deafness. Is this the sign of a Good Time? Table to table, No one could hear anything or anyone. Also: What's with the Hostile waiters ? Our main waiter seemed angry at us, impatient, annoyed, actually grabbing menus back from us. And the second team was just as bad. One of them, resetting, slammed plates down around the table. He was looking elsewhere and so we had slammed plates all over the table. Food merely ok and plates grabbed away before we were one.

    This place is amazing. Went here for bottomless brunch with my wife . All of the food we had was amazingly flavorful. Must try is the bread with the various spreads, Especially the Feta and Hummus, these 2 are next level amazing. The lamb is delicious and my wife’s burger was absolutely amazing. Everything about this place screams quality, from the location to service and of course the food. We have been here about a dozen times before and we will definitely be back.

    My husband and I went to Barbounia for lunch. The reception was welcome. Our waiter, Hulya, was very attentive and friendly. I had Smoking Fruit for cocktail (wonderful). We ordered Ceviche (2) and Risotto (2). For desert, we shared Lebanese "Osmalieh". We enjoyed the food. We will return to try other food on their menu, which looks yummy 😋

    Do not go if you are hard of hearing, it is VERY loud. The service is excellent. THe meals were mixed. I had a delicious fish dish, but the vegetarian dishes were not good according to the 2 guests. THe short ribs were wonderful, and the breads are great. Cocktails are yummy but very pricey. This is a good place to go if you eat meat, don't mind spending a little more for a party vibe.
