Parfums de Beyrouth

mmm maybe avarage (through photos) BUT those burned «traboulsiyyi and other pastries make your place rated a bit down guys, specially for good eaters. AH ! and a bit more spinning could make your hommos creamier !

Cheap eats! It’s the place to go. Nice chawarma and tabouli and hummus. All on one plate

I can speak for the single thing I ordered on both of my visits: the charwarma du viande (lamb). It was excellent, in fact possibly the best I’ve had outside of Morocco. Excellent… make that Superb. While inexpensive (for Geneva, the most expensive eating city in the world to my Manhattanite mind), every element was fresh and perfectly seasoned. I also got frites, but they were soggy and inedible, but didn’t really care. This is a shawarma to seek out.
A week later, I had to stop overnight in Geneva and Parfums was the automatic choice and got exactly the same thing as my first visit and was perfectly exact as the original.

Really popular kebab place, what you see is what you get. I personally don’t like the spices that pervades the taste of their meat kebab (is it cinnamon?). Otherwise their falafel here is bomb.

Reputation vraiment surfaite, c’est un kebab avec des assiettes bien pleines. J’ai pris une assiette végétarienne avec des frites. Les falafels étaient durs, le restant c’était correct. Par contre une chose m’a fortement déplu: le serveur né s’adressait qu’à mon mari il né me répondait pas comme si je n’existait pas. En tant qu’être humain je me suis sentie blessé et je n’y retournerai pas.

I really like this restaurant. This is the second time I’ve come here while in Geneva. The atmosphere is great. There was a nice vibe inside the restaurant. It was a Friday Night, around 10 PM and the restaurant was filled with locals. I ordered The traditional platter as my dinner. There was a nice variety on the plate and the portion was perfect for dinner. The Décor is bright and vibrant, with a combination of tables and couches. Very cozy. The food was fresh and reasonably priced, especially for Geneva.

Just down the street. Place is packed. The food is fresh, hot and delicious.
Come and see you will not be disappointed.

Simply magnificent. The best meal yet in France and Switzerland. In expensive Geneva, this is quite the find. We ordered a lamb sand which and a mix platter. The mix platter had everything we could dream of — keftah, chicken shawarma, beef shawarma, falafel, hummus, garlic paste, and salad. We devoured everything. A must!

Friendly staff and incredibly tasty food!
They have that tastiest kebabs ever!
I shared a falafel and a lamb schawarma sandwich with a friend for lunch!
I really wanna go back and taste the other dishes!
The combination plates are huge, so if you wanna have that, you better have someone to share it with!

It is the Best Lebanese restaurant in Geneva, I’ve seen them evolve the past 15 yrs and year by year they just get better and better. Situated at rue de berne, friendly staffs, good seating arrangements, and delicious shawarma. I personally recommend the mixed assiette — meat, chicken, kefta, falafels, hummus and a whole lot of goodies:)

Meilleurs falafels de Genève ! Par contre la viande n’est pas de mon gout. Le restaurant reste ouvert jusqu’à tard et offre un chaleureux service, bon point :)

I saw I ordered a falafel sandwich (perfect for a small meal) and it was perfectly crispy. The place is pretty packed for a Sunday and it seems like a lot of locals come here. Excellent service. Definitely plan on coming back!

Fast, delicious and so affordable! Get the mixed plate and be happy!
Grab a seat outside, we sat right by the kitchen. A friendly waiter will quickly help you. Enjoy!

Good not great. I saw all the fantastic reviews on Unilocal but for me at least, they weren’t warranted. Some of the meat was very dry and crusty. The price was good thought. I think the thing to keep in mind here is that every restaurant will have a bad day and I don’t doubt the other reviewers had a great experience here, it’s just that we didn’t. The people were nice and as others have said don’t expect much in the way of atmosphere (we didn’t), but for us it’s all about the quality of the food, which was just okay, this one single time we were here. We both got the same thing (mixed grill) so we have no way to judge the quality of the other food since we’re just here the one time.

It was our first night in Geneva and we were looking for a tasty meal near our hotel. A friendly man (who I assume is the owner) greeted us at the door. Lucky for us he spoke English because the menu is in Lebanese, although I would assume anything at this place is good! My partner got the chicken schawarma sandwich and I got the falafel sandwich. We split the hummus plate which was served with pita bread. Everything was fresh, flavorful and delicious. Would highly recommend!

Food was very good, price was excellent, especially for Geneva. Service was good, wish they had beer. Ambiance leaves (quite) a bit to be desired, but all in all, a very good meal. The combo plate was fantastic!

Un des premiers restaurant libanais de Genève et le meilleur pour déguster des sandwichs chaud au poulet, agneau, à un prix très correct.
Viandes Hallal.
Il y a aussi du végètarien.
Possibilité de consommer à l’emporter, enveloppé avec des serviettes en papier, soit commander dans des basquettes si vous avez prévu une grande dînette à la maison, soit de s’asseoir pour manger sur assiette ou pas !
Service efficace, rapide.
Pas d’alcool mais un très bon thé vert à la menthe ou du lait fermenté fait maison.
Les WC sont propre.

Amazing food and an amazing atmosphere! This restaurant and meal was our favorite during our weekend trip to Geneva, as it was super flavorful, quite a large portion and reasonable priced. Remember to bring cash wish because they don’t take card, but there is also an ATM close by in case you forget.

My goodness this place was amazing. Saw the 5* reviews on Unilocal and gave it a shot. Definitely met the hype. No frills whole in the wall so don’t expect special ambiance. Wife and I ordered chicken shawarma sandwiches and they were out of this world good. Chicken comes fresh from the spit so you know it will be good quality. My wife is from Montréal which is known for good Lebanese food, but this sandwich was probably the best I’ve had. Ordered a side of fries and they were just okay. Service was friendly and fast. Prices were very fair ($ 8 for the sandwich). Will try to grab another sandwich before leaving tomorrow.

Anything less than 5 stars for this place is just plain wrong. Very reasonably priced, always quick to serve you however busy they are, and the key ingredient, always consistent food. Sit inside and order an assiette mixte (a bit of everything pilled high on a plate) for 17CHF, or get a sandwich to go… or indeed to stay! They do not serve alcohol in case you wondered, which may be a down side for some people, but that’s not the point here. There’s a plethora of locals dropping in here and the clientele range from Swiss business men just getting off work, to artists who just rolled out of a nearby squat bar, and many other colourful characters. But again, that’s kinda the point, the food is good, really good, and it doesn’t matter who you are because it’s affordable, so it attracts everyone.
Over the last couple of years they expanded the business to take over the next door space and increased the amount of indoor seating.
The nickname my friends and I have for this place is simply «good kebab». «Where shall we eat later, how about good kebab?» It never disappoints.

Aux Parfums de Beyrouth (ou «chez Abdul») c’est LA bonne adresse pour goûter le meilleur shawarma de la ville, et ce à toute heure du jour ou de la nuit!
Après avoir goûté un shawarma dans ce restaurant qui, il faut l’avouer, né paie pas de mine, vous refuserez de manger encore un seul kebab à un prix exorbitant ailleurs à Genève.
Je vous recommande particulièrement le shawarma à l’agneau (existe aussi au poulet), avec toutes les garnitures! Il né faut sous aucun prétexte oublier le supplément de houmous, un régal! Tout cela pour 8.-, il est impossible de trouver mieux ailleurs!
L’accueil est typiquement libanais, et extrêmement sympathique: on vous trouvera une table avant même que vous ayez passé le pas de la porte. Il est aussi possible de prendre son shawarma à l’emporter, si on est pressé.

If you’re after a great heap of food at plat du jour price then this is a great place to come.
This place was recommended to me as the best in Geneva for falafel. Then I forgot about it until I was in the Paquis and needed somewhere quick to eat lunch.
I had the mixed plate with three meats, falafel, hummus and salad as well as bread on the side for around 17 CHF. I shared with my toddler and there was still a lot of food for both of us. The food was good and tasty.
There aren’t any child seats available here and I felt like we were not quite so welcome as we would have been without kids. (We certainly weren’t eating less than other diners.) In particular, we had trouble parking buggies. We put them to one side but the staff thought there was a better place. There wasn’t. And we asked for extra forks but it took a Coue of goes to get them.
Otherwise service is agreeable and friendly and prompt.
I will be going back soon to try out some more dishes from their menu.

I was starving after walking around geneva and my friend suggested I should come here for the cheapest food ever in thr city!
But cheap doesn’t mean crap here.
I had the assiete moxie. Which comes w falafel, beef, chicken, a ground beef steak, hummus, salad.
Damn it was big! Neighbouring tables were sharing two per person. I managed to scarf everything down as I only ate a croisssnt.
I kindly asked for more salad and I got it and wasn’t even charged.
At the end nice (English) service and a coke came to 20.
20!!!
That’s almost unheard of in geneva!

Definitively the best Lebanese take-​away in town and has been for over 20 years !
The «Assiette Libanaise» is a mealfull for two and excellent in flavour !

Très bon souvenir de ce restaurant libanais lors d’une première visite a Geneve. Nous avions pris des falafels et des shawarmas. Les falafels etaient delicieux, le shawarma à base d’agneau pas mal du tout. La viande etait bien cuite, le pain croustillant. Un menu abordable qui vous fera tenir une journée d’exploration de geneve.

Le meilleur de Geneve a qq pas de la gare ici pas de deco, table de bar style annee 80 pas de music a fond, juste les plat et un frigo a boisson. Mais la viande ou poulet sont delicieux. Incontournable pour faim subite.

das PdB ist ein sehr unscheinbares Imbisslokal in Genfs Bahnhofsviertel Paquis, es bietet jedoch exzellente libanesische Küche zu günstigen Preisen (erst recht wenn man im sonst ultrateuren Genf ist) Man kann dort wunderbare Falafels, Chawarmas mit selbstgebackenem Fladenbrot und Köstliche Lammspieße essen. Die Soßen sind auch sehr lecker und auf Wunsch so was von knobich, daß im Umkreis von 10 Metern um einen herum die Blätter von den Bäumen fallen. Alles ist sehr frisch und knackig, daß Chawarma-​Fleisch ist herrlich orientalisch gewürzt und wird noch traditionell mit dem Säbelmesser vom Spieß gehobelt. Die Bedienung ist sehr nett und hilft bei Unentschlossenheit bei der Auswahl der Speisen. Man sollte sich nicht von der etwas schummrigen Gegend und dem unscheinbaren Interieur abschrecken lassen, der Laden ist zentral in der Nähe des alten Hauptpostamts (Rue du Mt. Blanc) in der Rue de Berne gelegen.
