Don’t let the outside appearance fool you, as soon as you try the food, you will understand this place is 5 star quality food. All ingredients and meat is super fresh, feels like real authentic home cooking and very reasonably priced. A true hidden gem.

I recently had an amazing dining experience at Belle Bar & Restaurant where I ordered the Vaziri, and I loved it! The flavors were so delicious and perfectly balanced. The ambiance was lovely, and the service was top-notch. Belle Bar & Restaurant is definitely a must-visit for anyone looking for a great meal.

This is a real hidden gem if you are into Iranian cuisine. Rice is the best I ever had in any restaurant / catering in the town, shishlik and barg kebab taste very similar we used to have back home and do not forget to try the Israeli salad. They have two different ver delicious sause comes with salad which make salads unique and very tasty. The only reason I give 4 stars to the atmosphere is cleanness. Tables are a bit sticky and there is kind of bad smell inside the restaurant.

Food was tasety, portion per price was good for most of the items BUT everything else was a no for me! Very old decoration, and somewhat dirty place. Some of the glassware were dirty and the tables were sticky:( The bathroom was filthy dirty and disorganized and broken!!! This made me to absolutely question food sanitation!! The staff were friendly but they were not dressed properly. It seems like the waiter was there in his pijamas! There should be a minimum standard level for every restaurant! chose this place for a family gathering and I regret it. Will never come back:(

This food was so scrumptious by and it tasted literally amazing and so divine! I’ve never tasted anything better. the moment it touched my tongue I fell in love with this restaurant and I definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone. Service was absolutely amazing and so quick. I’ve never been served faster. The workers were super nice and they always checked up on us and refilled our drinks. The atmosphere was literally the best and it had such nice background music. I felt so welcomed and the chairs were so comfortable and it was very couched. Also the tables and everything else was super clean and I can tell how hard the workers have been working to accomplish the smile on the customers face. the kabob was literally the best kabob ever and the most juicy kabob ever I literally was so amazed by the presence of this food on the table I just had to take a photo for the memory. Also the salad on the side was literally so good like omg and I will definitely come back a couple hundred more times. Thank you so much to this restaurant for everything.

I recently dined at belle restaurant and honestly the food is fantastic. Paired with an amazing atmosphere this restaurant is a true gem in our community. 10/10 would recommend.

August 14, 2024

Today we ordered food from this restaurant but unfortunately not only the quality was very bad ( I ordered rack of lamb ) also the quantity was terrible ! They charge me 55 $ for food and instead of sending 6 pieces , I got only 3 pieces with lots of rice! . I don’t recommend this restaurant to anybody else and I wont ever order any food from them😡

The health inspector must conduct an immediate inspection of this place. The safety and well-being of the public should always be a top priority, and any potential health hazards must be addressed without delay. Foods are overpriced considering the quality of it.

Quality so bad ,test so bad ,service so bad

December 21, 2022

I tried this restaurant about one year ago, which food quality was so good, especially its Kobideh Kebab. Today, after about one year, we went there with some of our friends, it didnt have previous quality at all, and I would rather say it was really awful. The Kobideh Kebab was very fatty, Its main ingredient was fat instead of meat. Although we were the only dining customers that time, the food was served very late. We were not satisfied with the food and service at all

Nothing tasted fresh, and everything tasted old frozen precooked and reheated. Im not sure why it got such a high rating; it was just a 4.5 at the time. In fact, I selected to try this restaurant because of the positive recommendations, and Im disappointed because I trusted the rating. Lule kebab and chicken breast kebab were included in our order. The chicken had a tofu-like texture and was exceedingly chewy. Lule was even worse; I couldnt tell if the ground beef was genuine or not. We stopped eating after a few bites and I inquired about the bill. The lady at the front was surprised and asked if we had finished our food, to which I said that we had stopped eating because it was not fresh. We paid the entire bill, and she walked to the rear of the store, leaving us alone. She even observed us hardly touching our dishes and made no attempt to find a solution or reimburse us.

The lule - or koobideh - is 12.99 and only one skewer! I dont know another place that even serves one skewer as koobideh meal nevermind charging that much.
