My family loves this place. We’ve been coming here for years. Both my mom and my mother in law both ask to go eat here every time they visit! That’s the sign it’s good. My fave is the foul madams, but we also always get kabob and hummus with meat, along with salad. The garlic sauce is amazing!
Very good food. Recommend you try it!!!We had the Vegetarian Combo Platter with hummus, baba ghanoush, tabouli, grape leaves, and falafel.The hummus tasted mostly fresh and quite good.Loved the tabouli!! I would go back just for the tabouli.Liked the baba ghanoush, but it was a bit lacking in flavor. I've had better. The grape leaves were excellent! Well balanced flavors. And the falafel was very good. Not greasy and very tasty. Flavors you will crave.We also had the chicken and beef kabobs. The chicken was a little overcooked, so it was a bit dry, but the flavors were very good. The beef was not the best quality, but still very good. I recommend both, but wish both had been juicier.The garlic dipping sauce was excellent. Would prefer more garlic, but it was very good.The pita was very fresh and very good.The pistachio baklava was excellent. Very flakey. Makes you want to come back for more.The staff was very friendly and nice.Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. A nice dining experience. It gets quite busy.Pretty small parking lot and limited street parking in this area.There are a lot of Lebanese restaurants in this area and I recommend you try this one for yourself. Bring a date.
Nice casual dining. It's rather affordable for the amount of food you get, and it can be cheaper if you order the amount you can finish.Lebanese restaurants tend to use copious amount of garlic, but this place does easier. Not sure that's because we don't look like them, or that's how they always do.The atmosphere was interesting. We dine in the building, and the lighting was a bright daylight white. Maybe it is more appealing if it was more soft white, but that's just how I felt.I like the flavors of my plate and will consider coming back when I'm in NoHo.

I had an awful experience, I felt like racist nature. We came first and then they offered us a place. We had out toddler with us and they gave us a high chair. There was a white guy who was kind of rude about the positioning of high chair.They gave us a table for 2 and expected the baby to be on the same side as us.And while serving the food that white man greeted all but when he came to our table he had a weird expression.I have been in states for 5 years and this racism happend to me for the first time.
I was part of a 14 person group there for a retirement party. We had excellent service, and in several courses we had cold appetizers (I particularly loved the spicy hummus, and the yogurt was so good I ordered some to take home with me!), hot appetizers (a wonderful cheese roll was my favorite), and then they brought out the main dishes. I had the chicken skewer on a bed of rice, and the delicious chicken was so tender I could cut it with my fork.There was wonderful tea throughout, and tasty Lady fingers and baklava for desert. Everyone in the group loved everything they tried.I enjoyed my experience there so much, I am taking a visiting friend there for dinner in two weeks!
Fuul madamas and falafel sandwich were excellent! Will be back! The service is… European. They let you take your

Great place for halal Mediterranean food. Highly recommend the chicken shawarma platter which includes fries, hummus, salad, and chicken shawarma bits. They also give complimentary baklava towards the end.Small downside is the place has a bit of a smoke smell
