About Baalbek

Baalbek delivers unpretentious, banquet-scale Lebanese dining centered on smoky charcoal-grilled meats and generous share platters. Stripped of formality in Slacks Creek, the room fills with the aroma of charred shish tawouk skewers and roasted chicken carved straight off the grill. Families and work crews routinely gather around communal platters stacked with fluffy spiced rice, crisp pickles, warm pita, and scratch-made toum with serious garlic punch. Plates land fast and oversized—often leaving enough skewers and creamy hommus to pack a takeaway container for the next day.

  • Abundant Share Platters: Communal spreads loaded with spiced grilled skewers, dips, rice, and flatbread easily feed large groups with plenty to take home.
  • Smoky Charcoal Grills: Chicken skewers and cuts roasted over open coals deliver juicy, lightly spiced meat paired with house-whipped toum.

  • Generous Shared Platters with Take-Home Value

    Generous family and group platters come packed with an abundant assortment of grilled meats, aromatic rice, fresh bread, and house dips, offering satisfying portions with plenty left to take home.

    We thought the family platter might not be enough for our group, but we ended up with so much delicious food that we had to take a full container home.

  • Juicy, Masterfully Char-Grilled Meats

    The kitchen achieves deeply satisfying charcoal flavors across tender chicken, kafta, and lamb skewers that stay moist and succulent.

    Juicy, tender, and still moist delicious even after cooling down, now that’s great grilling - especially the chicken!!

  • Authentic Scratch-Made Dips and Sides

    Traditional scratch-made accompaniments including silky toum garlic sauce, smooth hummus, and baba ganoush elevate the grilled meats.

    The lamb is simply to die for served with Toum, Hummus, Tabouleh, Pita & Rice.

Before you head over

Helpful tips on portions, atmosphere, and dining timing at Baalbek

  • Expect Generous Share Portions

    The platter portions are exceptionally large; pairs and groups regularly end up taking full takeaway containers home, so plan accordingly if ordering multiple platters or sides.

  • Embrace the Casual, No-Frills Atmosphere

    The restaurant focuses strictly on food and casual family dining rather than upscale decor or quiet dining, so expect a lively, unpretentious, no-frills setting.

  • Eat Hot Meats While Freshly Served

    During peak rush times when the dining room is packed, hot grilled dishes can cool off quickly at the table, so tuck into meats and hot plates promptly upon arrival.
