The food was delicious and the stuff was very nice and very cautious with the virus situation.

The most delicious food! My favorites are the lentil soup and the fattouch salad. ALWAYS delicious. My absolute favorite place to sit and enjoy a yummy lunch when I’m working in North Cambridge. Beautiful decor and atmosphere. Kind, authentic people making it all happen. Sweet, family run business.

Great Lebanese cuisine. Simply seasoned and cooked to perfection. Always a good meal here, we’ve been eating here for 20 years.
