We saw this restaurant on TikTok and decided to give it a try because we love Mediterranean food. Very large and spacious restaurant with a full service bar. What made me sad is that we were aside from another table, the only ones there. When we arrived they opened the door for us! That hardly ever happens anymore. I ordered hummus, tabouleh, kibbeh and grape leaves and baklava Very large servings of each. The owner even gave us complimentary Turkish coffee. My husband ordered the lamb skewers. They were very juicy and seasoned perfectly. I grew up across the street from a Lebanese family and always ate over there as their daughter was my best friend. So I know what real authentic Lebanese food tastes like. You get three large Kibbeh and they are seasoned so well. The grape leaves were flavorful. Tabbouleh was refreshing. The baklava was authentic and they use rose water in their recipe which I haven’t had since my neighbor made them 40 years ago. Most baklava is made with honey. I highly recommend you give them a try! Prices are very reasonable considering the portion size. Don’t sit on this one. Go! We will most definitely be back.
Delicious food! Went on a Saturday night, and there was a great DJ and beautiful belly dancing performance by Anais!

I'm not Lebanese or Arab for that matter but this is probably the most fun place to be in jax on a saturday night. Levantine people party hard, the arabic music is bumping, the food is fantastic and the arak is amazing. I'm always clapping along and feeding off the energy of this place and the people, both patrons and the staff. I could live here and since it's down the street from my house, I go a lot of the time just to be out the house and social.

We came in for lunch today for our first time. It has been on my radar for awhile now. Durring the week they offer a lunch buffet for 15.95 and includes a soft drink. All of the lunch items on the buffet were delicious! I tried a bit of everything to give me some ideas on what to order when we come back for dinner. They do have full bar. The service was very friendly. Definitely looking forward to coming again for dinner.

A late night (for the US) dinner. The restaurant was almost empty, but the staff still made us feel welcome. My wife had a Chicken Shawarma wrap. I had a Beef Shawarma platter and the kids split a Lamb Gyro wrap. All of it was excellent. We will be going back.

I highly recommend trying the food here! First time and we will be back again. Everything is fresh and portions are perfect. Hookah lounge outside, buffet and belly dancing... Who can ask for anything more!
I cant comment on the food because we were not served. We went on a Sunday. It was my wife's birthday. We had to sit outside because someone had booked the inside of the restaurant. This was not good being it is Florida in the summer time. We waited over 10 minutes at a table. No one came over so we left.

The service is very friendly every time I’ve come here. They’re one of the only Lebanese in the Jacksonville area that actually serve authentic non-Americanized dishes. Their food is top notch and definitely worth a stop. They have hookah as well and serve Al-Fakher Shisha which is some top notch stuff

The hummus here is next level, and the lamb kebab was packed with flavor. Cozy vibe and super friendly staff made it feel like home. Can’t wait to come back!
