Reviews
"EXCELLENT!!! Delicious authentic Lebanese food. Everything was extremely tasty! I would highly recommend stopping by and having an amazing meal!!"
"Excellent spot for dining in or taking out Lebanese food. They make kebab, kebbe, tabbouleh, dips, stuffed cabbage and grape leaves, and daily soup to name a few. For desert, you can get baklava or crème brûlée (with rose water). I personally liked the tabbouleh even though it has more bulgur than what we typically have in Lebanon. If you prefer something lighter for desert, go with the crème. Turkish/Lebanese is also available."
"Food is made to order, so everything came out fresh and delicious! Be aware of the size - the kabobs are HUGE! A 1/2 kabob would fill one up well! Highly recommend the chicken kabobs and lamb kabobs! The best in town! Do note that the wait can be a bit long since all the food is made fresh. We waited about 30 minutes for our food to come out. Worth the wait!"
"Absolutely delicious. The best Lebanese food I’ve had in the U.S., with an exceptional home-cooked food menu (as opposed to more traditional mezza menus) that is not common in other Lebanese and Mediterranean restaurants I’ve visited so far. I had Kousa (stuffed zucchini), Warak Enab (stuffed vine leaves) with a side of yogurt, and a Tabboule salad (it did not look great at first, but the first spoonful made me change my mind. It had an excellently balanced dressing that reflects authentic Tabboule flavors). My friends had Loubye (flat green beans) stew with tomato sauce, rice, and meat (the portions of beef were generous and the flavor was spot-on), and lamb kebab (super juicy and delightful to eat). Not all meat options are Halal, so be sure to inquire about which ones are the Halal options. The Baklava was also unique in that its stuffing had the typical filling for the Maamoul dessert. While it is not identical to the usual Baklava stuffing, it is a rich and unique twist to it. I also did not have the chance to take photos of our platters, I only managed to take a picture of the Tabboule salad (also the first entry), and then I got distracted with the good flavors… It is a must-try for Lebanese people missing home and those curious about “hidden menu” items of Lebanese cuisine."
"The staff is always wonderful and friendly! The food is ALWAYS FRESH and ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! My favorites are the "Combination Dinner", "Lebanese Chicken and Rice" (so good!), and the "Lamb Shish Kabob" (so tender and delicious!). But really EVERYTHING is so fresh and delicious! I highly recommend trying!"
