Lebanese restaurant Bangkok: which Al Saray branch suits you?
Choosing the best Lebanese restaurant in Bangkok for one evening usually comes down to where you are and what time you eat. The three Al Saray branches share most of the menu. They differ in location, opening hours, and a handful of dishes and prices.
| Branch | Where | Getting there | Open daily | Suits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Silom | 60/2 Soi Silom 2/1, opposite Silom Complex | Near BTS Sala Daeng and MRT Si Lom | 11:00 to 00:00 | Dinner after work, late meals |
| Sathorn | 27/1 Soi Phiphat, Bang Rak | BTS Chong Nonsi, about 500 m (7-minute walk) | 11:00 to 00:00 | Groups, private events, the longest Lebanese menu |
| Soonvijai | 4th floor, Bangkok Plaza, Soi Soonvijai 7 | Beside Bangkok Hospital. No rail station within a short walk, so take a taxi or Grab | 9:00 to 22:00 (kitchen last order 21:00) | Hospital visitors, families, an earlier meal |
- Silom. The branch faces Silom Complex and stays open until midnight, with the kitchen taking last orders at 23:30. If you searched for a Lebanese restaurant near me from the Silom office district, this is the closest one. More in the Al Saray Silom guide.
- Sathorn. Two floors on Soi Phiphat, used for both everyday dining and private events. Its menu has a separate Lebanese main course section that the other branches do not have. More in the Al Saray Sathorn guide.
- Soonvijai. On the 4th floor of the Bangkok Plaza Building, next to Bangkok Hospital. It opens at 9:00, two hours before the other two branches. More in the Al Saray Soonvijai guide.

Is the Lebanese food at Al Saray halal?
Yes. The full menu at all three branches is 100% halal. Lebanese and Indian dishes are on the same menu, so one table can share hummus and falafel with Butter Chicken (฿360) or the Al Saray Lamb Shank Biryani (฿650). Head Chef Sampooran has cooked at Al Saray for more than 13 years and worked in restaurants and hotels in the Middle East and India before that.
