Reviews
"My wife always makes me come here for lunch and I'm glad she does because it's consistently good. Try the lentil soup, best I've had in the area."
"Excellent food! Very flavorful, presentation was clean and sharp. Portions were good and price reasonable."
"Great atmosphere, the restaurant was easy to walk through with plenty of groups sitting together. The food was good. The Branzino with Shrimp was decent. The Mixed Kabob plate was better."
"I reserved a table for 2 for my husband’s birthday. The reservation form asked if our visit was for a special event and I chose “birthday.” We got a little lost finding the restaurant only because their sign is right next to Cheesecake Factory. We kept walking towards the sign from the parking lot but there was no entrance. We went inside the mall and realized that it was on the lower ground level. As we entered, we were greeted and asked if we had reservations- which we did. We were seated immediately. There was a lot of people there that day but the staff was quick and efficient. The food was good. I can’t say that it is the best Lebanese restaurant I’ve been to, but it is decent. It is a little more pricier than other food comparable Lebanese restaurants but you are also paying for the service and ambience. It’s a classy place. The lentil soup was really good and filled me up. My husband got the lamb and he said it was just “ok.” I also got the chef’s platter and I enjoyed it thoroughly. It was probably the best thing we ordered. I basically got to taste all the appetizers in one sitting. We also ordered ice cream for desert. The pistachio ice scream is a must! They even brought the ice cream out with a candle and the servers wished my husband a happy birthday. It was a sweet touch. Overall, it was good. I would eat here again. There’s plenty of parking, the restaurant has a great atmosphere, and the staff is attentive."
