A little about this place
About Beirut Bodega
Beirut Bodega is a small Lebanese restaurant at 165 Geary Avenue that moved from a takeout-only kitchen to a full-service dining room in 2026. Chef-owner Ali cooks to order over a charcoal-only grill: shish tawook, kofta and lamb-pistachio kebabs, ribeye and branzino, served as platters, bowls and sandwiches, alongside mezze such as hummus with steak, muhammara, labneh, kibbeh, falafel, fattoush and a smoky eggplant Monk salad. There is no liquor licence, and fresh-pressed juices are on offer instead. Everything is made from scratch, so expect a wait. There is a small patio.

What people enjoy
- The charcoal-grilled Lebanese food is fresh and full of flavour, with the kofta, shish tawook, hummus and fattoush singled out.
- Service is warm and personal, and the chef-owner often comes out to talk about the food.
Things to keep in mind
- Waits can be long, with 40 minutes to two hours for mains when the small kitchen is busy.
- Portions are small for the prices, with platters that come without rice or sides and only a little pita.
