The Grand Lebanon, Batu Ferringhi

The Grand Lebanon is a halal Middle Eastern restaurant on the Batu Ferringhi beach strip, serving authentic Lebanese cooking alongside Arabic, Indian and Moroccan dishes. The spread runs to classic mezze, grilled meats and rice mains — biryani, mandi or plain — with the chicken biryani and mandi rice singled out for their flavour and generous portions. The setting is spacious and easy, with chilled piano music, plenty of greenery, and an al-fresco area where you can round off the meal with shisha. Reviewers put it at reasonable value, with a meal for two coming in around RM120.
