Royal Lebanese
Royal Lebanese is the first restaurant that comes to my mind.
Address: 187, Sarat Bose Road, Opposite Deshopriya Park, Kolkata.
Located in the busy street of Sarat Bose Road, this food hub is sure to melt your senses even as you just pass by. It offers exclusive Lebanese food. It is primarily a take-away joint but seating arrangements are also available. The menu offers Lebanese sumptous items. The menu also offers few vegeterian items like falafel sandwich.
The only drawback is that it offers very few desserts and hence you have to leave without satisfying your sweet buds. Prices start at Rs.100.
Go Lebanese
Go Lebanese is situated very near to Royal Lebanese and is a very popular joint amongst the youth.
Address: 200, Sarat Bose Road, kolkata
This tiny take away place is near Deshapriya Park and serves mouth watering Lebanese food. It also has outlets in Salt lake and Ajoy Nagar. The menu starts at Rs.95 with non-veg servings and at Rs. 80 for vebeterian servings.
This is a preferable place for vegetarians as it has it has a large number items to offer for them. The place is quaint, small and has a regular following.
But, this joint too has few offers very few dessert options.
Shawarma nation
I cannot miss out on this name, though its a rather new joint. It has special tricks up its sleeves.
Address: 345, Prince Anwar Shah Road, Kolkata
This small cosy restaurant eliminates few of the gastro-centric problems that Lebaneses cuisine generally accompanies along with it, for they offer food with 96% less fat.
Though it has a small menu yet it vows to cook every item to perfection. They offer small pocket-friendly wraps which start at Rs. 50. There are very few veg items available. They have the added feature of offering middle-eastern drinks.
This small restaurant is the perfect place to try out the cuisine, away from the general hum-drum of life in the company of your loved one.

As I have mentioned earlier, this is not strictly a Lebanese restaurant, but a portion of their menu is dedicated to this authentic cuisine.
