Great service.Ordered tea, chicken mandi was one of the best mandis I’ve had while in America. I have lived in Saudi and I would say it was apt. ??Sheesha/hookah was good too. Really enjoyed the atmosphere. The fire added warmth and coziness to the chilly night. Music Playlist was a great addition in the background.Staff was very sweet, understanding and helping. Would definitely visit it again.

Ive been there few times and loved the food, hookah and their service. So I decided to host an event for 25+ people, and all the staff, and owners went above and beyond to make our event successful. Food buffet was amazing, hookahs and helped arrange seating in the outdoor tent. The manger was their all the time to cater everyones needs. Ild def go there again and host events. I absolutely recommend them. They are one of few places that can host a large # and have plenty of parking in the plaza.

I mean wow?! What a great spot! After a hour search on the web for some Lebanese for my fathers birthday, I found Balqees on Instagram. We arrived on a rainy day. Enjoyed the covered patio to ourselves. We received A++ service. Such a friendly staff. Food is phenomenal! We enjoyed every last bite. Teas and coffee were fresh & hot. Dessert/cakes was OUT OF THIS WORLD. From what I understand the owners wife whips those up. Someone give her a medal!I read some reviews and don't understand some of the them because this was a awesome experience. Will be back many times! Will be back for the buffet!

Went to Balqees on short notice with a very large party on Saturday night. They did not disappoint! We had a great time. Not only did they accommodate seating for a group of 15+ people, they provided very quick service and made the entire experience extremely enjoyable for us. We had a fire pit which kept us warm and they provided blankets. The hookah was amazing — all around amazing vibes. Thank you so much!!!

Did a pick up, the venue looked great esp the outdoor seating with heaters and the decor. Got lamb haneeth(lamb with rice, Mansaf(thin bread topped with rice, lamb, nuts and white sauce). So delicious!I also ordered mint lemonade which was recommended by them, I was first thrown off by the strong green color but it was so refreshing and well blended. Must try!Staff is very friendly too. However food is a little too pricey IMO

Order Fahsah! It’s a stew that’s served in piping hot clay pot with a side of big pita naan. Other dishes that I highly recommend is their mandi with chicken and lamb! Rice is flavorful and meat is super tender and juicy. Don’t forget to add the red sauce to the rice. The restaurant itself is super hip they have hookah’s in the back with huge seating area for big parties. Great ambiance, family oriented and great staff. Highly recommend!

The hookah and desserts here are underrated. Great Quality service! This is now my go to spot! They have fire pits outside as well! Such a great vibe

Fantastic food and very chill atmosphere! The food, coffee, tea were all delicious and the hookah was high quality too. Guest service was awesome too!

This is a great restaurant for Middle Eastern food. The quantity they give is large and actually enough to for 2 people. The service they offer is very friendly as well. I would highly recommend it. The minimum to get an outdoor table with a fire is $100, but they are nice enough that if you do get entrees they will turn it on even if it's less than 100.

I went to this restaurant based on one of my friend’s recommendation. We ordered several dishes, food overall taste good and the service was pretty quick. However,it was a little bit pricey, for example only masoub was around 17$, But this was expected for these kind of restaurants. Tip was mandatory for 3 people or more (17%).
