Classic Lebanese in Polanco delivering flavorful mezze and grills with engaged service and fair portions; expect popularity, occasional wait, and policies that can feel rigid.
Gruta Ehden delivers reliable Lebanese dining with strong food quality anchored by well-executed classics like hummus and kibbeh, supported by attentive service that makes celebrations feel special. However, inconsistent execution across visits—ranging from seasoning swings to portion variation—and operational challenges during peak hours prevent it from reaching higher territory. The pleasant Polanco setting and loyal following position it as a solid neighborhood destination, though not a citywide pilgrimage for Lebanese cuisine.
One caveat: Waits can stretch to an hour without reservations during peak times
