Exceptional authentic Lebanese food. The closest to Beirut you can get in our area. The bonus is: they have a market for traditional food.

Food was not authentic Mediterranean. Ambiance was good and service was fast. The Turkish tea was good and the baklava but the main course was below average. Toum served with shawarma was too garlicky. Wouldn't recommend this place for anyone looking for authentic Lebanese food.

The market itself had some VERY high prices on packaged food on the shelves. Got a take-out counter pint of baba, some hummus and spinach pies and all were very good!

Food was very good and there were very large portions. You will not leave hungry and will most likely have left overs. We ordered the kibbeh and grape leafs and were not disappointed. The hummus and baba gaboush were also quite good.

We found this restaurant purely by chance on a road trip to NJ. The food and service were excellent - everything was so fresh and delicious! The server was very friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend!

The purpose of this review is to keep you from driving past this small, nondescript plaza. There is fresh, Mediterranean style cooking served at this hidden restaurant/grocery store. For your 1st visit try the Kibbeh. Roughly speaking it's the Mediterranean version of meatloaf. Put that in a wrap with lettuce, tomato & hummus and you've got yourself a smile. The baklava is made with pistachios, i.e the right way, and it is unreal.

The food is excellent and the service is amazing. I have nothing more to ask from this place. You leave happy! That's is all I can say. I could go on about the food but I leave that to the critics.
Excellent food - the only authentic Lebanese restaurant in CT.

Had a lovely New Year’s Eve dinner with my partner here. Cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and most importantly delicious food! My favorite was the knafeh — I’ve never tasted anything else like it! Wish we lived closer so we could come back more often. Thanks for making us feel so at home!

Always THE BEST Lebanese food! John Hanna is the chef/owner and a gentleman. Chicken Tawook is my favorite entree, sandwich or over salad.

Perfect. I think as good as the best Arabic restaurants on Atlantic Blvd in Brooklyn. We had a wonderful time. We had 6 who all shared mezze, The table was literally covered with 12 dishes of deliciousness! So glad John Hanna is back!
