I ordered a lentil soup that was about it and I just got a stare when I came in to purchase it to go. It was the only thing I had to eat as a quick late lunch I couldn’t stop throwing up it tasted old and very can type not fresh or homemade . I’m glad I didn’t finish it I only had a few tries :( They dropped the ball I am disgusted and didn’t bother letting them know it isn’t worth the confrontation in which they seem to give off. I prefer the other location !

We stopped by this location but I was honestly disappointed with food! The Shawarma wasn’t good at all the only dish I’d recommend trying is fried and chicken biryani. For the prices you pay this is not a place I’ll recommend

The portions were much smaller, and the food quality was not what we expected. Do yourself a favor and drive 10 minutes over to Clairemont location instead.

Let me start off by saying I grew up eating Lebanese food and I am very familiar with it.
The food was ok. The dolma (grape leaves) were terrible and I could barely get through one bite. The falafel was ok, but was very heavy and tasted greasy. I ordered lamb and I received very small lamb chops that were not super flavorful. The fries that came with the meal were the best item but needed some salt. The hummus was not good and needed lemon.
I was the only person in the restaurant. I went at around 6-7pm which is peak dinner time for restaurants. You can see in the video the restaurant was completely empty. There is no reason why I should have had such a sub par experience when I was the only guest in the restaurant. When I told my server, Abraham, about my dissatisfaction with the food he got defensive. Instead of wanting to give me a better experience, he told me that he knew the food was good; which insinuated that the problem was me not the restaurant. I spent about $63 after tip on two items. This was an over priced experienced for the quality of service you receive. The food portions are generous, but it does not match the taste value of the food.
This restaurant did not give me the experience I was hoping to have. I did not receive the same service others received and the server took his time before acknowledging me at all. The partiality was off-putting as a black African-American and came across as racist.
I do not recommend eating at this establishment.

Did a call ahead order thinking it was the Clairemont location; but soon found out I actually ordered it to this location at Hillcrest. The order took about an hour from ordering thru Grubhub and to pick up the purchase. Originally it was 12-20min for prep time. No harm no foul; i walked around the plaza there.
The shawarma(s) I ordered were superb! Worth the wait and different location originally. The shawarmas were juicy, the lamb was fresh, the share a was worth the price.
Parking: Caution parking; as parking is for plaza customers only.

The food. The service. The staff. Wonderful!! We have been here a few times, and it never disappoints. The food is second to none. Great outdoor space, large indoor space. Definitely be back.
Staff is very friendly. Handled my complicated order and questions with friendliness and care. Food was made quickly and delicious. Atmosphere was very pleasant and low key.

He handed me the cold kunafa and told me to heat it at home in the microwave. What if I’m not eating at home? Horrible service, horrible kunafa. No wonder it’s empty.
Cute, cozy restaurant. Food was amazing and very plentiful. Best hummus and chicken kebab I have ever had! Service was on point! They kept our beverages filled, our table cleared from dishes and wrappers. I highly recommend this place to anyone.

Please stay away from this place! The owner/manager is very hostile and rude. They don’t care about the customer. The food is not as good as it use to be and they are always short staffed. They always make excuses for forgetting things on orders and when you ask them about what they forgot they become very rude and hostile.
