El Sheik - 04100 Ciudad de México

Nothing spectaculaire. There are better Lebanese options. I didn't want a buffet but was not offered normal menu. 400 pesos per person i felt it was too expensive. Especially that the meat was not good and all the food seemed not fresh and cold. I barely had 2 plates and then they told us they were closing at 8pm yet on Google it says 10pm...felt rushed...service was decent, food and price not.

My sister shared this place with me a long time ago. One of our weekend rituals started with us jogging at “Los Viveros,” trying to earn the right to enjoy that exquisite feast. Whether you are sightseeing in the Coyoacán neighbourhood, you need a break from the “Holly-Molly almost all Mexican cuisine involves corn," or your inner fat dude is showing again (PMSing); this Arab- Egyptian restaurant will give you a lot of options to smooth over your circumstances. This last (still ?) visit, I was delighted to see they had built a beautiful terrace. We wanted to sit there, but the wind impeded us from doing so. The crew has always been attentive, fast, and dependable; you can see they enjoy working there. They had a couple of Kosher wine options. After letting my sister’s choice breathe, it was tasty. I’m giving five⭐️ s because it’s challenging to maintain good quality, consistent flavours, variety, and the same dishes even with raising prices, pandemics, restrictions, wars, picky eaters, and that fast-paced environment. My favourite items were: the Hummus, the Jocoque, the raw beef patties, the stuffed zucchini, the lamb (tasted like tender barbacoa ?), and the cabbage rolls. They used to have a Belly Dance show on the weekends. There’s also an engaging waiter who once “read my sister’s coffee.” Btw, that coffee is strong as a punch in the nose. Desserts are also included in the buffet. Restrictions are: masks are mandatory, don’t touch the plates, someone will serve you from the buffet. Please, don’t waste food.

In the US or Europe I'd give this 4 stars, but in CDMX I consider it a five. Look I'm not being pretentious, its just that those places have more immigration so obviously there are more options/better food, and frankly foreign food can be a hit or miss here. Anyway, service was really great and falafel was the first decent one I've had in CDMX. It's not outstanding, but if you're craving mediterranean it'll hit the spot.

Good location close to exit of the viveros park. Plenty of outdoor seating. No weekend buffet at present. Plenty of menu choices including mexican breakfasts. Adequate vegetarian options. The limonana ( lemon mint ) drink was refreshing. The baba ghanoush was good. The falafel shawarma was bland and could do with a side of spicy sauce. The best item was the baklava cheesecake which was fantastic! One star less for poor and slow service as well as the portion sizes that don’t do justice to the prices charged.

Delicious Lebanese food!! I was so hungry that I forgot to take pictures. But I recommend to get the buffet (around 350 MXN) if you are very hungry, they have a great variety and everything I tried was delish. For drinks we had a peppermint lemonade that was amazing. I will definitely go back to this place!

Amazing food and coffee, the Jocoque is a must and don't skip the mouth watering desserts. Beautiful Location and great service!

The food is beyond good and tasty. They have a buffet option with a great selection. It is not pricey...

The food was delicious and the portions are as big as you want them! You can have a platter for 2 but it can easily serve 3 ? We also bought tickets for a new year's raffle ??
