★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I've been here for dinner years ago but this occasion was the first time I tried the Jeeb menu ($65.00 per head). The dishes on offer were fantastic in flavour - was drooling over the rice that came with the lamb (I actually had day dreams about it - SO delicious). I wasn't that impressed with dessert and there wasn't enough Lebanese bread in my opinion. I think the experience of a Lebanese hot beverage with dessert would have been ideal. Staff could be more friendly but perhaps this was because they were busy. I'll be going back regardless because the food is worth going back for!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What an amazing and vibrant place! Nice tables and cutlery, friendly staff, and very comfortable chairs. Love that the music was not too loud and our group could engage in conversation - a proper catch-up! We decided to have the "Jeeb" menu and I must say I did consider un-buttoning my trousers at the end of the meal. We were served 6 courses, but each course had a few elements. We started with some snacks comprising of potato balls, chickpea something, and rolled fish (I really apologize for the description but there is no way I can remember everything now). Then the starters were a mix of hummus (of note, I had heard this was the best hummus on Earth, but that is not something I agree with), labneh, bread, fried cauliflower (this was just outstanding) and 2 other dips. The entrée was a beautiful piece of pan-fried fish on a bed of spinach and potato foam - really delicious, maybe the best dish of the night. The mains were a mix of octopus (beautiful flavour, but slightly rubbery), steak (gorgeous temperature and scrumptious jus), roasted pumpkin with parmesan sauce (just yum!) and salad (think it was butter lettuce and hints of cardamom). The first dessert was flambeed (I think) pineapple with ice-cream, followed by a rich mini-chocolate cake with ice-cream + poached pear with coconut ice-cream and a crispy sweet hollow element on top. And now I wish I had written down what the staff said when they described the dishes... I highly recommend Gemmayze Street and will defo go back!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Make sure you book in advance because Gemmayze is tricky to get a seat at. When you get in there be prepared to be blown away. The hummus is nothing short of life changing and the lamb is a must try.
We’ve been multiple time since trying and highly recommend to all.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Love the vibe and the food at Gemmayze St in St Kevins Arcade. My favourite dishes would have the be their favourite hummus and their chicken shish with juicy charred chicken thighs on saffron rice is spectacular!
They are really busy, so make a booking unless you happy to wait or get turned away! Good cocktails and desserts too!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really good Lebanese food, the concept is more sharing platters (4-5 for two people). Prices are a little pricey for the portion but pack a tonne of flavour and is a unique experience!
Plenty of seats but recommend booking before hand!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Stop reading the reviews and go! Lovely setting, friendly service and most importantly delicious food. We had the set menu for 2 of us and it was 100% worth it for all the Lebanese flavours and variety of plates. Especially as there is not much of a middle eastern cuisine scene in Auckland, this helps fill that hole successfully. Very much recommend it. Can't wait to return again. ?
