I was excited to see a Lebanese place near my new house, I did not know it will be my first and last meal there. I'm Arab, so I know what I'm talking about.. The kibbeh was not fresh, portions are huge, but unfortunately, bland, dry, and generic combinations with no authentic flavors. I used the washroom, and I saw in the hallway a huge bag of dry chickpeas open, just next to the washroom!! To be fair, they have a lot of potential if they fix these issues or just focus on a few items, and perfect them instead of having a long list of dishes they rail to deliver on. The service was great, and the dude at the cashier was helpful.. The place is lively, but you won't enjoy it if you are here for the food. Many other places offer better quality for similar or lower cost.

Halloumi garden wrap was amazing

The food here is great and comes out fast. The menu is super large and a little intimidating, but if you tell the staff you're vegan they'll help you out and make recommendations. The vegan platter is *definitely* enough for 2 people, don't make the same mistake I made the first time and order one per person unless you want lots of leftovers?Their wraps are also delicious.

Absolutely fabulous food! The meat was perfectly spiced and cooked and the baklava was the best I’ve had in many years. Can’t wait to come back!

Wanted to like this place but the food is almost inedible (shawarma) and the sandwiches are over salted. The $50 charge caught us off guard. Super overpriced.

I stopped into this place for the first time today because I was really in the mood for some good Lebanese soup. First I was shocked by the $9 price for 16oz of the cauliflower soup and then it was so salty that I couldn’t get past the first 2 spoonfuls. If I had eaten in, I would have sent it back to the kitchen. I’m Indian so I know salty. This was inedible.

Very good spot in the neighborhood with all of the classics. Chicken shawarma platters are very good. Fattoush salad is excellent. Various appetizers including grape leaves and falafel are all very good.

I really wanted to like this place, but it lacked tremendously in customer service and quality of the food. There was no one at the counter when I arrived, which is fine, and a kind gentleman in the kitchen told me “she” will be right out and mentioned that to her. The “she” turned out to be a rude and abrasive lady. I didn’t ask for her name, but my receipt said “Amy.” She’s an older lady with glasses and she had a lot of anger and aggression issues. It was quite bizarre. She stormed out to the front and started berating the staff in another language and kept this up for an uncomfortably long time. It seemed like she was angry that someone told her what to do, but I believe her issues run much deeper. When I asked her about the food, she abruptly told me I can see all the details on the menu for myself and was completely dismissive.The tall gentleman in the kitchen was very, very nice and welcoming to everyone. He greeted each person who came in and asked how they are. But the “Amy” lady really should not be interacting with customers. Her attitude will bring the business down.

Wow, this was delicious! We got the falafel plate with yellow rice and the pumpkin kibbe ("kibby") wrap — the latter with a substitution to avoid tomatoes. The pumpkin kibbe wrap was a wonderfully spiced combination of savory and sweet, the sweet provided by what my (Lebanese) companion told me was pomegranate molasses. And the falafel was exceptionally good, and I loved the Lebanese pickle mix that came with it.The portions were generous, the flavors were spectacular, the food was filling without feeling heavy, and I’m so glad to have been introduced to this place. I’ll be back!
