The meat is cooked on a vertical spit until the exterior is caramelized and smoky, then shaved to order. The shavings are tender and juicy on the inside, crispy-edged on the outside. Served with warm pita, house tahini sauce, and pickled turnips and onions that cut through the richness. Reviewers praise the quality of the meat and the balance of textures.
Tips from diners
Order this as a main with sides rather than a sandwich. You get more meat and can plate it your way. The pita is on the side.
The beef is cooked to a precise medium-rare with a well-charred crust that gives way to a pink, tender center. Reviewers appreciate the simplicity — the grill marks, the seasoning, the charcoal flavor are enough. Served with a bright herb salad and fresh lemon that add freshness without overwhelming the meat.
Tips from diners
Request it pink when ordering — the kitchen defaults to medium unless you specify. The herb salad on the side is meant to be eaten with each bite.
A traditional Lebanese starter that appears across the region with slight variations. Azar's version is silky and well-balanced — not too heavy on tahini, with enough lemon to brighten it. The olive oil finish is generous, and reviewers appreciate the simplicity that lets each ingredient speak.
Tips from diners
Order 2–3 mezze varieties per person — they come quickly and are meant for sharing and tasting. Don't treat them as your whole meal.
The eggplant is charred before puréeing, giving the dip a subtle smokiness. The tahini and lemon add creaminess and brightness. The pomegranate molasses on top provides a tart contrast, and the pine nuts add crunch. Reviewers find this more interesting than hummus and worth ordering.
Tips from diners
The pomegranate molasses is key — scoop it off the top and into each bite. Don't let the waiter clear it away.
This bridges the two cuisines on the menu — Lebanese cooking technique applied to a Moroccan classic. The chicken is poached gently in the broth until tender. The preserved lemon adds a complex salty-sour note that balances the spices. The olives contribute brine and richness. Reviewers note this is lighter than typical meat tagines.
Tips from diners
Pair this with couscous or rice if you want a substantial meal. The sauce is too good to waste on the plate — soak it up.
Azar is a nightlife destination in Guéliz that fuses Moroccan and Lebanese cuisine with nightly entertainment featuring live oriental music, belly dancing, and a lively atmosphere. The three-level venue includes a main dining room with central balance floor, a panoramic mezzanine, and an outdoor terrace. The kitchen focuses on mezze (cold and hot starters), chawarma (spit-roasted meats), and Moroccan tagines alongside Lebanese specialties. This is where locals and tourists go for special nights, corporate celebrations, and occasions that call for entertainment.
Arrive before 8 PM or book ahead — the crowd builds after 9 PM when the show starts. The entertainment is main attraction, so timing matters.
Groups of 6+ can often negotiate a fixed-price dinner that includes entrance and the show. Call ahead to discuss your party size — they may offer a better rate than à la carte.
This venue is ideal for birthdays, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and anniversaries. The team can arrange for the performers to give a special shout-out or include you in the show. Mention your occasion when booking.
Children under 5 are not allowed due to the adult entertainment and noise level. Plan accordingly if dining with young family members.
The show starts around 9–10 PM. If you want quiet dining, aim for the early seating (7–8 PM). If you want the full entertainment experience, arrive by 8:30 PM.
