The most authentic Lebanese cuisine i had. The food, the decor, the atmosphere, it was absolutely beautiful. Lira is the currency in Lebanon so when i saw this place, i knew i had to test it's authenticity. There is indoor and outdoor seating options. Inside, the walls are filled with cultural Lebanese photos and frames and decorations. Outside, the seating has pillows and benches that resemble the old cultural Lebanese theme. The music was lebanese but the ancient soft kind that makes you feel like you're in Lebanon. I loved it. The staff was very friendly and super knowledgable about the menu. They helped us with our order and were very patient considering they had plenty of delicious options to choose from. Everything we ordered tasted homemade and delicious, and it was very authentic that some i've never had before! I learned a lot about Lebanon and the dishes during my dinner. The food was great, the decor was beautiful and it really felt like an experience, not just a meal.

One of my favorites in Miami. The appetizers here are out of this world. The eggplant dish with fried pita chips and lamb is incredible. We came here with a reservation on a day it was pouring rain. The restaurant was great and called us in advance to confirm our attendance. They worked hard to accommodate not-ideal conditions. We weren't obsessed with the mains but I think we need to try some other options next time. Will come back to give it another go!

Cool Lebanese restaurant on the edge of Wynwood, with the usual mix of tourists, locals and (unfortunatelly) homeless people camping on the sidewalk. The restaurant includes expansive alfresco dining, as well as an indoor space with a small bar. Decor is modern, with a mesmerazing collection of Lebanese-themed prints hanging on the wall. We ordered a trio of dips and the fatoush salad. All excellent. We also order the kofta, which was a bit disappointing at $36. The portion was okay, but it felt over-priced and under-executed. The highlight of our meal was the dessert, though. An icecream trio of pistachio, date and chocolate. I would go back for the date icecream alone, it was that good. Sweet, caramelly, with a slightly bitter aftertaste and packed with nuts, amazing! All in all, a solid option for middle-eastern food in Wynwood, in spite of our kofta disappointment.

Came here with friends for the Miami spice which was one of the best Miami spices based on price, food quality, and quantity. We got all of the appetizers on the menu and it's hard to choose the best. All of the hummus were so creamy and tasty and the fattoush salad was very fresh. The pita it came with was also hot out of the oven! The grilled octopus was great- tender and flavorful. To end we had baklava which you can't go wrong with. The only reason for the 4 stars was the extremely slow service and they messed up my dessert order but did fix it right away. Also we didn't get served any water until after the appetizers and only because we asked. There seemed to be a big party though so they may have been overwhelmed. Either way it's a charming place with great food so I will be returning.

Really really enjoyed my meal here! I came for miami spice and it's one of the best Miami spices I've been to in terms of amount of food and quality. The setting is lovely. I'd recommend sitting outside. I went on a Tuesday and I think they weren't expecting a huge office party so I will say the service was extremely slow. But the food was wonderful! Would recommend getting a mix of dips -- muhammara, labneh, hummus, with great pita. Fattoush the octopus was good but a small portion. And the beef shawarma was delicious -- cinnamony and a huge portion. For dessert they have baklava and an assortment of dairy free ice creams (pistachio, date, etc)

I had a wonderful experience at Lira Lebanese Eatery! The ambiance was fantastic, with plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors, and the decor was filled with nods to Lebanon, making the atmosphere warm and inviting. Nadia, our server, was excellent--attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. I was impressed by the selection of unique Lebanese wines, which added an authentic touch to the dining experience. The appetizers were delicious, and my main dish, the Kafta, was cooked to perfection. For dessert, I enjoyed the baklava paired with their vegan ice cream, which truly made my day. Overall, it was a solid 4.5-star experience, but I'm rounding up to 5 because everything from the service to the flavors exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!

This is one of my favorite spots for special occasions. This quaint spot makes you feel at home from the second you walk in. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and committed to providing a great experience. As a person of middle eastern descent, the food makes me feel like I'm having a meal at my grandfather's house. It's delicious and authentic yet creative.

Delicious food and great deal for the Miami Spice or lunch menu. Highly recommend the mint lemonade and the Muhammara. There was some confusion with one of our orders and the staff easily fixed it. Super cute decor, I only wish it hadn't taken so long. The place was fairly empty around 3 pm and it took us almost 2 hours before we left. Would return but maybe during a busier time.

This is my second time at Lira and I enjoyed it more than the first! I am on a mission to find the best Middle Eastern food in south Florida and lira right now is in my top 2. I enjoyed the kabob a lot and the fattoush was soooo good. I liked their cheese rolls too, perfect amount of crisp. The baba ganoush had tahini in it which I don't really like but next time I will definitely try the hummus. Service was fast and nice as usual and the ambiance is what makes this place the best, love the artwork and outdoor seating is chefs kiss

Came on a Saturday night, the atmosphere is wonderful, we sat outside on the patio that had ample tables. Our waitress was incredibly friendly, and was able to really guide us in making choices for dishes. The style is very much shared plates, by husband and I shared about 4 total (which was plenty). The fried halloumi and and labneh were the star of the show, but there wasn't a bad dish that we ordered. I'd highly recommend this restaurant, it's perfect for a date night or before grabbing drinks in Wynwood (they do have a small beer and wine list, but no cocktails)
