I’m a regular customer at Yasmin’s restaurants, and it’s always a pleasure dining there. The staff are amazing—respectful, polite, and always helpful.

This was a treat. The food was amazing. The ambiance was great. The restaurant was packed but we had a reservation and were seated right away. But get there early. When we left, there were quite a few people waiting to be seated. If you are lucky, you'll get Maria as your server. She was very polite, always with a smile and although always running with so many tables to serve, she never let us down. We had: Bourak and Kybbeh Nayyeh for starters Filet Mingon Kebabs with Yasmeen fries Chicken chops with pilaf Chicken parm with Yasmeen fries Osmalia and Profiteroles for dessert For drinks we had our own wine (BYOB) and my son asked for a Strawberry lemonade, which was gigantic and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is casual but elegant. The decor is very nice. Again, Maria as a server for the win!

I will start the description with the interior, very beautiful in Arabic style with pleasant music, very spacious and cozy. It will be nice to sit with a company to chat or celebrate some event. There is its own parking. The service is excellent, attentive. Well, and most importantly, we really liked the oriental cuisine in the Lebanese style. We ordered lamb liver, it was magnificent. We also ordered Yasmin mix, this is a shashlik of chicken, beef, and kofta is a shashlik of minced meat. We ordered muhammara, fattoush salad, kubbe, it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. But the serving of lemonade really amused us, we laughed heartily, because it was unexpected, to receive lemonade in a half-liter mug, it was a lot, the whole company had to drink. We really liked everything here, I highly recommend visiting this magnificent restaurant

My partner and I spent just under 100 for dinner for two, and it was well worth it! We started with the •Yasmeen Fries so crispy, garlicky, and full of fresh cilantro. Easily a 9/10! The Kibbeh wasn’t quite what we expected, so we’re giving it another try next time. For entrees, I had the •Shish Tawook... juicy grilled chicken with the best rice pilaf I’ve ever had. My partner had the •Fried Butterfly Shrimp, perfectly crispy and light, also served with that same amazing rice. The Lemonade Mint Slushy was incredibly refreshing, cold, minty, and perfectly balanced. We’ll definitely be back to try more.

The ambiance, staff, food, and drinks were incredible! We absolutely loved the osmalia, salad, mouhammra, falafel, & grilled chicken. The outdoor patio is gorgeous as well as the interior. Would 100% come back.

If you’re looking for an incredible Mediterranean dining experience, Yasmeen’s in Clifton is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with warm hospitality and a beautifully inviting atmosphere that sets the tone for a perfect meal. The food is nothing short of amazing — every dish is bursting with authentic flavors, fresh ingredients, and expert preparation. Whether you’re indulging in classic favorites like Hummus or the Mix Grill, or trying something new from their diverse menu, you can taste the love and care in every bite. The service is top-tier. The staff is attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about making sure every guest feels at home. The servers are knowledgeable about the menu and quick to offer great recommendations. Management clearly runs a tight ship, with everything running smoothly and efficiently. The cleanliness, attention to detail, and customer-first attitude shine through in every part of the experience. Yasmeen’s is a place you’ll want to return to again and again. A true standout in Clifton — highly recommended! (Amazing atmosphere for aesthetics!)

Yasmeen is hands down my favorite spot. The vibe is always chill, the food never disappoints, and the service is top-tier every time. Whether I’m going for a quick bite or a full dinner with friends, it’s always a great time. Highly recommend! Love the outdoor seating.
