Leb Tav is a gem! The chicken shawarma pita was bursting with flavor, the beef shawarma was tender and perfectly spiced, and the falafel was crispy outside, soft inside—absolutely delicious. The seasoned French fries were a great side, and their sauces bar is a highlight, offering a rich variety of bold, fresh flavors to customize every bite. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. Highly recommend!

Stopped by Lebtav for lunch and was honestly blown away. The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming—you could tell they genuinely care about their customers. The food?
