Well cooked food. The Filet Mignon kabob was cooked as requested. The Sea Bass dish was well seasoned, not salty, just right. The service was courteous, fast and attentive.

First time visiting the restaurant. Ordered the Chicken Tawouk plate. It was good. Hostess and servers are very friendly. Will visit again. So many more dishes I want to try.
The best quality food and service I've ever had. I would highly recommend.

The food was great; however, the service was extremely disappointing. Our server, Emad, was rude, unprofessional, and did not know how to speak to customers respectfully. Instead of listening to our needs, he accused us of ordering the wrong way or not knowing how to place an order properly.
He showed little attention to our requests and maintained a poor attitude throughout the meal. To make matters worse, we overheard him talking about us to other staff members and blaming us for a mistake with the order.
This was not the first time we’ve experienced this kind of behavior from him, and unfortunately, when we returned, we were served by him again. While the food itself was excellent, the lack of professionalism and consistently bad service completely ruined the experience. I would never return to this place if I were to be served by a server like him.

A welcoming & colorful spot to enjoy lunch. The weather was so nice (in December no less!) we dined on their charming patio.
Our server was quite friendly & helpful with our questions.
We were pleased they offered splits of Proseco which we each ordered.
I loved both of the hummus’s on my plate. One was traditional and so creamy and the other one had a nice spicy kick to it. I only wish that there was more falafel balls on my plate. They were crispy and delicious but only two small ones- I could’ve eaten much more! The prices were quite reasonable.

One of our all time favorite spots. Can’t go wrong with any of the many options but our favorites include the open sesame pizza, spicy garlic potatoes, any of the kebab entrees, and can’t forget the garlic sauce.

$10.00 worth of Lebanese hash in 70s sure went a lot further then this dog bowl of lamb did today for $15:00. One star for the cashier, she was much more astecically pleasing then the food was by far
I have been here so many times over the years and everyone I bring has loved it. They have figured out how to deliver consistent high-quality food and great service. Always a pleasure to come here and get any of the lamb dishes and those addicting potatoes with garlic sauce.

Compared to many of the other Mediterranean restaurants, the food wasn't the greatest but the service and the atmosphere was great! The food was little bland and the shrimp was too little and too much rice and the bread fell apart.
