Levantine Restaurant

Levantine sits on the Al Majaz Waterfront with a terrace overlooking the Khalid Lagoon - a prime vantage in central Sharjah for catching the fountain shows, the lit-up skyline, and the slow evening promenade along the water. The room itself leans classic rather than contemporary, with a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere that draws a mixed crowd of residents and visitors, and the outdoor seating is the clear draw when the weather cooperates. The kitchen works a traditional Lebanese and wider Levantine menu. Cold mezze is the dependable opening: tabbouleh with bright, fresh ingredients, rocca salad, hummus, and a moajjanat platter of savoury pastries. From the grill, the lamb chops, chicken and lamb kebabs, and the mixed grill are the standard orders, paired with warm flatbread straight from the oven. A Ramadan iftar set menu and a family-scaled breakfast are worth noting for anyone planning around prayer times or an early morning by the lagoon. Consistency is the caveat to flag honestly. While many visits deliver genuinely satisfying Lebanese cooking, portion sizes run small for the price point, and execution on mains can dip on busier evenings. Policies around third-party discount vouchers (Entertainer, Smiles) have drawn repeated complaints, with restrictions on holidays and weekends that catch diners off guard; anyone planning to use one should confirm acceptance before ordering. Come for the view and the mezze, manage expectations on pricing, and a relaxed waterfront evening is the likely outcome.
