Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Very nice, fresh food. The customer service is friendly and superb, and the atmosphere is very cozy and pleasant. We ordered the €30pp mezze and grilled plates for two, allowing us to taste a variety of dishes. This product offers great value for the price."
"We had the Chicken Saj sandwhich and it was banging. Fantastic sides some cheesy little pastry called sambouk and a chicken version and they were delectable. Great place, great staff and we will be back again."
"Wow, I was really impressed -my meal was so delicious! I had the chicken taouk with rice and tabbouleh with cauliflower-the quality was really good and everything tasted great, the waitress was also really lovely. Very happy I came here, best meal I’ve had in a while!"
"The best Mediterranean food I have found anywhere. We got dinner from this place one night, then went back to get lunch the next day which we ate on our way to the airport. Pretty much everything on the menu is worth trying. Highly recommended if you’re staying in Nice."
"Hands down the best Lebanese shawarma and hummus in Nice! Restaurant Ishtah is an absolute gem. The shawarma is perfectly seasoned, juicy, and wrapped just right, easily the best I’ve had in town. The hummus is incredibly smooth, rich, and full of flavour, clearly made fresh with high-quality ingredients. The staff are friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. If you’re craving real Lebanese food in Nice, Ishtar is a must-visit. Highly recommended!"
"This was my favorite Lebanese food I’ve ever had! We ordered the shawarma plate with hummus, eggplant and labne dips, along with falafel and the cheese samboussek a la carte. Everything was very fresh and tasty! The shawarma meat was so flavorful and tender. The mezzes were presented beautifully and tasted great as well. Absolutely recommend coming here—we ate here twice on our week trip in Nice!"
"My mom and I stumbled upon this Lebanese restaurant while we were in Nice, and it turned out to be one of our best choices! I’m a student in Monaco and have been craving good Lebanese food for so long since there’s none here — and this place completely delivered. The food was absolutely delicious, full of flavour, and tasted so authentic. Thank you for the amazing experience — we’ll definitely be coming back"
"Really enjoyed the kabob skewers. Falafels and hummus were the best I’ve had. Very nice and clean setting, Great to take a break from local French/Italian food (which are quite good also)."
