Guadalajara is one of our favourite destinations as we like to explore and experience new and unique restaurants. On an afternoon walk we passed Suleyma, unfortunately we just had finished lunch, but made it a point to come back. Thankfully we did on our last night of this trip. Not knowing what to expect, we started with a trio of Mezzo’s, the Hummus Especially, Tabbule and Babaganous. What a great start, everything was over the top with fresh flavour and care of ingredients. We then shared a plate of Makabek, fresh made sausages of lamb with pita and yogurt, wow, a taste sensation, went so well with my Negra Mondelo and Brenda’s Nebbiolo. The owner Fouad is a delightful host, with many interesting stories, thank you Fouad, we wish you great success with your upcoming ventures. For desserts we were tempted by the Dedo De Novia and Manual De Datil along with Cafe Arabe Con Especias. The two desserts are small bites, but delicious, enjoyed the coffee... The meal was well priced, hate to use the word cheap with its resulting connotations, we will be back on our next trip.
Wow that was good. The best shawarma I've had in a long time. In a beautiful space with lovely staff. The owner spent a moment talking to us about the history of the restaurant and the dishes. Super kind. We will recommend it to everyone.
The food was wonderful and excellent value for money. The service was very friendly and efficient. They have a very nice cocktail menu too, so we also tried some of those and they were equally delicious. We ate and would certainly recommend the Hummus with the Portobello Mushrooms, the Shawarma, and the Faruk.
One really authentic Lebanese food that extracts real tastes from a fine street cuisine. It is rare to find a gem. This is one!
Suleyma is much more than a standard Arabic restaurant. It goes much further with offering the best quality and taste that can compete on a global level (even in the Middle East). The flavors, taste and elegance is unmatched. They offer a very unique menu that has many home favorites from any Levantine household and deliver it with the taste of homestyle cooking. The quality delivered for the price is impeccable. One thing I could not get enough of was the selection of Mana'eesh. Getting one with the fresh bread that was still hot with the Zaatar and Labneh took me back to my years growing up. One thing I learned about the hummus was that the Tahini was made in house. Suleyma cares about the details of their food and cares to give the best to their customers. I loved this place so much, I had to eat there two days in a row! I am excited to see where Suleyma goes and know that I will come back next time I am in town!
Has become my favorite place to eat in Guadalajara. UPDATE: new cocktails and menu additions are amazing. UPDATE: now open on Tuesday!
This is one of my favorite restaurant in Guadalajara. Been twice with guest and we all loved the food. I had falafel wraps that were amazing! Only recommendation I would make is get rid of the cheap French fries and use a more authentic Mediterranean style chip or fries. Otherwise, great place for great food! Enjoy
Best Lebanese food in not just Jalisco, but Mexico and maybe even the western hemisphere. Service was excellent and the vibe was spectacular! I recommend this place to anyone willing to expand their taste buds to the best Mediterranean cuisine!
