Lebanon Debate and Socrate Restaurant Review
Resumo
r/Lebanon discusses how the public might react if Khomeini visited Lebanon, alongside a Toters review of Socrate Restaurant. The review rates its $16 oriental rice with lamb 3/10, citing dry rice and lamb, poor value, and concerns about hot food packaging.
If al Khomeini visited lebanon
I wonder if roads were closed for al Khomeini visit what would the public opinion be like ? I mean we seen people cry cz they wanted to project a picture on al rawchi rock. I'm fairly certain the reaction would've been the complete opposite of what the shi3a have shown and wouldn't have been met with the same tolerance they are displaying.

Reviewing Restaurants on Toters Part 3 - Socrate Restaurant
A little about me: I am the most ni2a person in Lebanon and I’ve been trying restaurants since 2014. I’ve been working in FNB for 5 years and own a restaurant. I know the tricks they use.
Value for money = how much it’s worth it (the lower means the restaurant is extremely profiting from your patronage)
Quality to price = how much is the quality compared to the price
I ordered:
Oriental Rice with Lamb - $16
My rating: 3/10
Taste: 7/10
Value for money 1/10
Quality to price 2/10

First, I just want to precise their SOPs are plain wrong. They put the laban (cold) next to the hot platter and hot gravy which made it arrive wrong (it should be in a separate bag). Next the amount of plastic used is crazy! They should put a warning about microplastic consumption, all the food is extremely hot and they put it in this low quality plastic container. This is a serious health hazard in this country which is overlooked.
For the food I’ll start with the gravy which is 80% butter and fat, it’s not bad but not wow. The laban is the same (mid).
The rice has been sitting in a bain-marie for at least 4-5 hours before getting into this plate, it’s dry and mid. I won’t be surprised if it was from yesterday. Same with the lamb; I paid $16 and all they gave me was 3 little pieces which were dry (lamb leg is usually juicy and tasty). That’s my main problem here, they make me pay $16 for this platter which is 90% dry rice and 50g lamb. What’s the food cost here? 10%?

The taste is acceptable, it’s butter rice and lamb, it’s really hard to miss.
Honestly I tried this restaurant in 2019, 2020 and it was 0/10 before, I don’t know who keeps ordering or convincing themself it’s good. Maybe they survive off of catering? I would avoid it, your hard earned money is better off somewhere e...
