Chill vibe, great food

Loved the space, chill and comfy athmosphere. The staff is very friendly and the food is great. Would come back to try other options from their menu.

As a non vegan I was extremely impressed

I went to Orenda with three members of my family who two of them are Vegan. We had a Vegan feast, and it was amazing from A-Z. I had the curry, and it was pure heaven on earth. My family members ordered the vegan burger, the truffle oil pasta, and a burrito every bite was enjoyed and savored. We also ordered 2 cappuccinos and the lovely waiter offered us two cupcakes on the housed. I would definitely eat at Orenda again this time I would be less scared and anxious and maybe even try something different. looking forward to my next visit.

Pros: Extremely delicious food , very kind waiter Mohammed he is lovely., Comfortable and cozy.

Cons: difficult to find the place.

Nice but London/NY prices

I paid $16 for a burrito and a water which is crazy, considerably more than I’d expect to pay in London. Portion wasn’t big either I had to go and get food after leaving.

That said the ambience, decor and service was very good and you could see they’d put a lot of effort into creating a pleasant atmosphere.

Pros: Really nice setup

Cons: Small portions , Overpriced

No. 1 restaurant worldwide! Am not joking

Went with my family. It was WOW! Seriously, the chef is extremely talented. Never tasted so many flavours, working together. Nothing compares. Even non vegans would fall in love with Orenda. Mallow in London was my favourite restaurant anywhere, but now that's at No.2. The restaurant is quaint with beautiful decoration and the service was perfect. This restaurant is why I love vegan restaurants, theyre attentive to detail.

Pros: The best food worldwide, The best deco worldwide, The best service worldwide

Cons: That I don't live in Lebanon 😔

It was alright, but not great.

Honestly, I wasn’t impressed. The serving sizes and quality of food for the prices they charge just didn’t add up. I know times are tough here and importing stuff is pricey, so maybe stick to local ingredients? I paid 3x more than I would at a smaller lebanese local normal joint and still left hungry. Won’t be back, unfortunately.😒

Pricey and small portion

Two of us went there... ordered a vegan burger, sweet potatoes fries and fatteh that tasted nothing. we paid 148,000 and went out still hungry. The fatteh tasted bland and when we asked to return it and get something else they refused with the excuse that the ingredients were already mentioned so it was our fault.. I even made a complain via their social media only to be rejected and got a useless respond... I think they should be on kitchen nightmares with chef Gordon Ramsay.

Pros: Nice outdoor area, Nice decor, Vegan

Cons: Expensive, Tasteless, Dont expect much in your plate

1. You say you ordered a burger, fatteh & sweet potato fries, yet you've posted a cake, burger & curry.
2. Looking at the prices on the menu photos you posted, nowhere near adds to 148,000.

No I don't work for the restaurant. I went to review it on TripAdvisor & saw your post on there also & thought it was weird.

Your review makes zero sense.

Lovely atmosphere, delicious food!

Love the vibe at orenda! This is definitely a place for vegan and non vegans because the restaurant is super cute and there's a wide variety of options! My non vegan friends were very happy and everything we tried was great! Recommended!

Amazing concept, perfect for dinner or drinks.

Staff was super welcoming, menu was amazing, nice balance of different cuisines. Definitely try the pesto hommous and blueberry cake! Probably the best cake I have tried since I went vegan. Setting is very nice and a cool shop inside with amazing initiatives to support - perfect gift ideas!

Pros: Tasty food and drinks, Friendly staff, Shop inside

Cons: Place a little hard to find the first time

This is a beautiful space. Outstanding service. Tricky to find even with GPS. Once you’re in GPS vicinity it’s up a small alley from Modi pastry shop on Armenia St.

Pros: Environment

Great vibe and excellent food

I really enjoyed this hidden gem. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly. Overall a nice vibe. We tried the spaghetti bolognese, burger and avocado with chips. Everything was delicious but my favorite was the spaghetti. I definitely recommend checking it out while in Beirut.

Lovely place, nice staff and good food

It is a bit out of the main road and as soon as you get there you notice the beautiful courtyard with a “dog bar” and the nice remodelled house where the restaurant is.
The staff was very nice to us and took the time to talk and show us the place even though it was a busy evening for them.
The food was good too. The summer rolls have a very fresh taste, perfect for hot summer days.

Pros: Vegan shop and art exposition inside the place, Super nice staff , Lovely courtyard

Cons: Served the food a bit late (but they apologised), Have disposable chopsticks and plastic plants

Excellent food in lovely courtyard

Fully vegan, female-run restaurant just off the busy high street in Mar Mikhael. Great menu with a range of starters, toasties, bowls & other mains. We tried the super fatteh, poke bowl and chocolate ice cream and loved them all. Overall the price is a bit on the high side compared to portion size but in all fairness, I was full after the meal. Very pretty courtyard to sit and enjoy some delicious food or drinks. Really recommended!

Finally, I don't think the Facebook page is correct, but this is definitely their Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/orenda.lb/

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Dog friendly

Cons: Slightly expensive

Delicious. A must go!

My boyfriend and I visited Orenda whilst on our holidays in Beirut and we was not disappointed. The service was amazing and the food was delicious. There was a number of starts, mains and deserts to try from. We had the sushi, burger, spaghetti bolognese and carrot cake, all of which was amazing. The setting is also very nice and tastefully done. We would defiantly return and recommend.

Pros: Lots of delicious vegan options, Great service, Beautiful setting

A must in Beirut!

This beautiful space offers delicious food. Has an outdoor seating that makes you feel away from the city. A hidden gem, great and friendly staff, a concept store supporting startup business who sell vegan products. I absolutely love it!
