It is the closest to authentic lebanese food you will find around the Boston area. It is excellent for the value.

A beautiful place a hidden gym tucked away on mass Avenue behind Davis Square
The owner, Sam’s family have a beautiful restaurant and make the freshest tastiest authentic food around
I love the hummus tabouli chicken kebabs. The baklava made fresh is unbelievable. I’ve been going there with my family for more than 15 years and it never disappoints. I would highly recommend everyone. They even have some outside seating if you want.

I did take out. The food was delicious. Unfortunately, their order-on-line system forces you to become a member of Square and then adds a fee for on-line ordering. I complained to the server but was blown off.

The reviews had me hoping for a great meal but what a disappointment. I can't believe I paid $22 for three pieces of dry falafel that didn't taste fresh and rice. The pickles weren't even good. Next time i'll go to cava :/

This place a hidden gem (on the Mass Ave) a bit past Porter Square for authentic Lebanese food with Lebanon-imported ingredients run by Lebanese.
We picked this place for a low-key celebration dinner and were very happy with the decision. We ordered:
An appetizer sampler — that “poster child” you see in every Google review. Yes, it’s delicious.
A side Fattoush salad — Even my salad-hating boyfriend liked it.
A lamb kebab entree — tender juicy in large portions. Allegedly has more lamb than rice according to my bf.
A lam kebab roll-up with a side lentil soup — very fulfilling and delicious. Pairs well with the appetizer sampler and the soup.
A Halva — order the plain one in plastic containers, and you’ll be captivated by hearty roasted sesame fragrance. I won’t tell you they told me they imported these halva from Lebanon. Don’t be scared off by the price. It’s so worth it.
That’s the food. Now the people. We believe we met the father and daughter who are running the restaurant. Very warm, kind, and attentive people to talk to. They give you enough space to enjoy your own party but take good care of you and are happy to strike up a conversation anytime.
We are deeply impressed. This place deserves the high rating. I will be thinking about their roll-ups and halva whenever I’m nearby.

I have been coming to this establishment since they were in Arlington - I put up with the kids attitude. They have no Personality no Customer Service skills. and they are rude- The mother just looks at you and gives you a dirty look you say hi She didn’t say It back dad is the nicest person !! that the food is amazing. The atmosphere is amazing. The music is amazing
what is not amazing is I’m being told they prefer cash in like a rudest way it’s too much of an imposition for her to have me use my Apple Pay in 2025 at the register but they would prefer cash anything under $15 then I get my two appetizers and they give me one thing of bread so I nicely asked for some bread and they tell me well with the way things are. I don’t wanna hear the way things are. I’m paying for my foodGive me my bread that comes in my appetizer. Don’t tell me how things are. Don’t tell me to use cash and don’t be rude. Not to mention, I was so upset I dropped my glass bottle of Pellegrino costed five dollars and smashed it on the ground that I had to clean up and they close whenever they want to when they have always posted I don’t understand - I’m nice you can’t be nice back and I’m coming into your place Buying your food

I used to love eating at this place for years, I enjoyed their food it was tasty with balanced flavors. But today I have a bad experience. I wonder What happened? The salad was so soggy and very tart, the gape leaves very tart as well. I am very disappointed.
