Samaya is a fancy Lebanese restaurant located a short walk from the Bir Hakiem metro station near the Eiffel Tower.  They have just about any Lebanese dish you could think of, except for sfiha (Lebanese flatbread with various toppings).  After being seated I ordered a mixed skewer plate and kibbeh.

Mixed Skewer Plate (18 euros) - This came with kafta kabob (spiced ground beef), boneless chicken kabob, lamb kabob, shirazi salad, eggplant, hummus, and some pita bread.  Each of the grilled kabobs was so flavorful and juicy.  My favorite was the juicy and flavorful kafta kabob.  The shirazi salad was fresh while the hummus and eggplant dips were just middle of the road.  The pita bread served here is the store bought variety.

Kibbeh ($9) - I always enjoy these fried football shaped croquettes, and the ones here didn't disappoint in terms of taste and consistency.  The outer shell is made of bulgur wheat while the inside consists of a spiced minced meat.

Overall the food tasted great, however the size of everything here is about 30% less than what I would have expected.  The kabobs are so much smaller as are the kibbeh compared to portions in the U.S..  Bottled water is about 6 euros, so be sure to ask for tap water instead.  This place is on the pricier side, however it's a great place to get one's Lebanese fix.  All the food served here is halal.

stuffed grape leaves, tabbouleh was wonderful! portions (for a Californian) were smaller, but still tasteful! my wife's tourek was great, and despite the wait was worth it

I will definitely be returning to try other dishes.  I enjoyed the chicken chawarma and kebbe.  This restaurant is a great option when you've visited your fair share of the neighborhood brasseries!

I stopped here for a quick lunch near the Eiffel Tower. I ordered the shawarma mixed plate, which came with chicken, beef, pita, fries, salad, and sauce. I thought the food was a bit bland, but the portion size was great for the price: about 14 euros. The service was prompt and friendly.

We enjoyed the service and the food; and it is quick walk from Eiffel Tower.  Dont forget to try the desert.

My husband and I stopped here for lunch on our way to the Eiffel Tower.  It was lunch time and we wanted something out of the ordinary.  This fit the bill. 

From the moment we stepped in the door, we were welcomed and given friendly service.  We each ordered the vegetarian platter and it did not disappoint us.  The hummus was creamy and delicious.  The falafel was crispy and flavorful.  The salads were fresh and very tasty.  We enjoyed our meals and would definitely eat here on our next trip home.

My husband and I came here both for dinner one night and lunch another day. The food is really fresh, and you can tell the meat is quality. I really enjoyed both the mixed skewer plate and the lamb kebab plate. The Baklawa and Katayef were absolutely both delicious to finish our meal! Not to mention, we had great service! Definitely a good place to eat when you're near the Eiffel Tower!

Just as EH said the food was pretty good.  But my gosh the staff was rude as hell.

Came here on Bastille night just prior to fireworks. The staff was kind to us, explaining the menu as it was all in French. Had our take out orders within minutes, and it was completely fresh. The 5.50€ beef sandwich was so good. Think of filibertos chain in the states, times 10 times better because it was so fresh. Ate the sandwich while viewing the fireworks from our balcony. Lovely eats, fantastic night.

Notice: I give five stars for service and the sandwich we got at 5.50€ each. Five stars does not equivocate to five star food eating. I solely base it off of my experience, the staff, and the value of food based on price and taste. I know some reviewers star differently, but this is my system :)
