Moti Mahal Delux

At Moti Mahal Delux, the Beirut branch of the global curry empire, you can fire up your belly with an excellent tandoori while feeling the cool sea breeze on your face. The restaurant occupies a commanding sea-facing location on Zaitunay Bay; the venue itself is decked out in suitably grandiose, verging on gaudy, reds and golds and faux-velvet textures. The setting is the USP here, but the curries are generally excellent – a satisfying balance of traditional recipes and modern embellishments. The service is unassuming and professional, as befits a chain.
