Sunnin Lebanese Cafe

"One of the best Lebanese places in town BUT.. overpriced and the $16 zataar (keep in mind it’s just bread and spices) does not reflect their best work. I was very disappointed in the bread quality, the way it was cooked and the spice mix isn’t the best either. Do better"

"Tried the hummus with their bread… they just gave me cold bread, and a very cold hummus… mentioned it to the waitress and she said that they always warmed it up before serving it, and their hummus have been always served cold. In my personal experience and opinion, NEVER have been eaten bread that cold… and the hummus, when it’s freshly made, it isn’t that cold (even the plate was very cold!) the waitress never offered, at least, to warmup the bread. Ordered their Lamb Kebab Plate, the rice and salad was ok, until tried to cut the lamb pieces, it was very difficult, and chew them was too hard, because it was full of tendons. Mentioned it to the waitress and she talked with another superior staff and offered apologies and tried to sell other dishes, but never offered a dish with lamb, when mentioned her that only wanted to eat lamb meat. When requested the check, got a discount for the problem with the Lamb meat. Not my best experience, hope anyone else can have a better one."

"Sunnin was amazing! My step-daughter and I just randomly chose it for dinner because I had a craving for falafel. The menu had so many delicious choices, and we finally settled on falafel for me, chicken kebab for my stepdaughter and a plate of spicy crispy potatoes. It wasn’t long before we asked for mint yogurt sauce and sliced cucumbers to dip into it. We were unprepared for the size of the servings - they were huge. The chicken dish came with an amazing side that we found out was whipped olive oil, and garlic. My falafel plate came with hummus and tahini, and both entrées included rice pilaf, and salad. Even the salad dressing was amazing, and I could detect a hint of mint. The gentleman who work at Sunnin were super friendly and attentive, including the server and the busser. After dinner, we were treated to the most amazing dessert. I can’t remember the name of it but it was a pannacotta with a rosewater, honey, and pistachio. We have lived in San Francisco, New York, and LA and we both agreed that this was the most delicious dessert we have ever had. This restaurant is a real find and we will definitely be back again."

"Got the pastry combo as appetizer. For the price the portion was a little on the smaller side. It came with 1 of each: fatayer, sanbousek, sfiha and rekakat. Rekkat was the best of the lot which surprised me a bit since I was expecting either the sanbousek or sfiha to come out on top. For the entrée got the Mloukhiyeh with lamb shank & rice & pita bread was included as sides. For the dessert got the Ousmaliyeh which was decent. The dessert wasn't overly sweet but I thought it was a little on the pricier side."
