Balade is one of the best Lebanese restaurants, not just in Manhattan, but also in all the cities I've been to. I often order from Balade online, and sometimes I go there for a change. Given that this time we went when the restaurant was not too busy yet, I enjoyed my dinner in a quieter than usual atmosphere (the way I like it). Nour, George, and the server from the kitchen were all friendly and hospitable. The Lebanese music was a perfect match to the delicious food. It was hard not to indulge … – show
I had a very Priavte dinner with a few of my business partners at balade on Tuesday and I choose balade because I saw the reviews and I really enjoy Lebanese food. To say that my experience was terrible wouldn’t be the right words to explain it. My waitress was extremely rude and I had to ask her multiple times for a bottle of still water. She looked like she didn’t want to be there which completely ruined the experience for me and my business partners. The food was great but couldn’t reall … – show
Very disappointed that the servers and staff allowed a guy to seat in the dining area with his dog in tow, that would try to steal food off his plate as we ate. Just like we have inside guidelines for this. This needs to be also respected outside as well. Ppl shouldn't have Cart Blanche to do as they please. Very disappointed. Especially that the servers would pet the dog then go serve our food. I am very surprised at this to be honest. The proof is in the photos
The food was as genuine as that we would eat in our family's homes. Everything was fresh, beautifully plated and so tasty. The staff and atmosphere matched the home warmth. Goodness, can't wait to go back with a group to share additional mezze and sample those flavors. Fatoush salad, Beirut Humus, stuffed grape leaves for our mezze and a shared Sheik El Shawarma main dish. Lebanese coffee to seal the meal Thank you!!

Food doesnt really worth that much money, service was not great, I was asked to do the full order with second course after we ordered appetizers, I thought that was odd, never had to do that before, waiter/tress always brings appetizers first then we can order our 2nd course meals. We had to ask for pita bread for my hummus plate. and again food was not that tasty, I don't think I will go back
George our server, first and foremost, great personality awesome server. Food is delicious, reasonably priced and they have outdoor and indoor accommodations. Outdoor seating is also coupled with heaters and blankets too which is so important in these upcoming cold months. I'll be back again!
Everyone at Balade was super helpful and accommodating. My 18 person dinner went so smoothly and the prix fixe menu we picked from made food ordering for a large group extremely easy. The food was absolutely delicious and portion sizes were perfect for a large group. Highly recommend!
Good hummus, pita, French fries. and Za’atar bread. Grilled meats were good too…and it’s halal!
