Best Times to Visit
Based on the menu items like Knafeh Bagel, Manakish, and Arabic Coffee, Naifa appears suitable for breakfast, brunch, and lunch, as well as for enjoying desserts throughout the day.
I love Druze cuisine and was excited for a fine dining version of some popular dishes. Unfortunately, the food was pretty uninspiring and maybe we visited on a bad evening but at least half of the dishes were too salty. But I don't think a bad service can be forgiven when it's an expensive chef restaurant, so I won't be coming back.
Deserts were very nice and the interior is pretty. But it's not enough to justify another visit.
We had dinner at the bar, and every dish was packed with flavor.
The restaurant has a beautiful design and a great atmosphere that made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
Our bartender was attentive throughout the evening and made sure we had a fantastic time.

Delicious food with a nice variety of choices. The portions' size was not very big but it was still good enough to share (4 people). Fun atmosphere.
The service was okay, but we could have gotten better attention with the wine (the waiter brought a different bottle at first and almost opened it, and served the second round unequally, leaving 2 of us with no second glass, so each couple had to share).
We liked that we had the chance to see the chef Naifa working openly in the kitchen, and also when she approached all tables to chat shortly.
Definitely worth going to get an experience of druze kitchen, and leave room for dessert.

A great place. Not a cheap meal, but a great value for money. Unique tastes, some of the dishes are very strong (might be too aggressive for some), medium to small dishes, good for sharing a lot of them between several people. Even though most of the dishes that consist of few single pieces always came in a number not easy for sharing (2, 3, 5, 9...)

The restaurant itself is beautiful and the service was excellent. However, the food was very disappointing. We ordered many items on the menu, and all were lackluster: tuna tartlet, fattoush salad tartlet, tuna tartar, freekeh gnocchi, crab dish, vegetable siniye, goat milk panna cotta for dessert. We wish the food had better matched the beautiful restaurant and amazing atmosphere.
