We love coming here! They have a delicious and very authentic Lebanese menu. Some of our favorite dishes include babaghanouj, lentil soup, batata harra, falafel wrap, chicken shawarma wrap, rice pudding, and their various mini crust pies! The place is very clean and the service is friendly! We look forward to trying more items.

Tasty & Delicious food, very good service and lots of choices on the menu!

This place was fine, but not worth going to in my opinion. It is extremely expensive for what you get (like almost twice as expensive as other Middle-Eastern restaurants nearby) and the food wasn’t “exceptional” to justify the price. I ordered online and waited till the pickup time and was very surprised to see them not even realize I had ordered 20 minutes earlier. So, I had to stand there waiting for them to make it and they didn’t even offer anything while I was waiting, which most places would do considering it was a mistake on their end. For almost $30, you get a very small amount of meat in the kafta kabob, and the rice was not the best. The hummus was very good (better than most) but they gave store-bought pita bread!! For the price, I would expect better quality. I am quite disappointed and I can’t justify going again anytime soon.

Wow! A great find, and didn’t know Lebanese food could be this good! The crisp falafel and the lamb chops were perfect. Lovely interior with easy parking.
