7thI have always loved the food at Emily's, but I love Lebanese food. For some, it's an acquired taste, and that's too bad because you're missing out. You might want to start out easy with pita bread and kibbeh.

Excellent spot for dining in or taking out Lebanese food. They make kebab, kebbe, tabbouleh, dips, stuffed cabbage and grape leaves, and daily soup to name a few. For desert, you can get baklava or crème brûlée (with rose water). I personally liked the tabbouleh even though it has more bulgur than what we typically have in Lebanon. If you prefer something lighter for desert, go with the crème. Turkish/Lebanese is also available.

A “Smurfy” N L

baba ghanoush-Puréed; gives me baby food vibes, Not smashedRoosted eggplant not very detectable, seems more tahini than eggplantBread-Cold, old, and hardChicken noodle soup-Microwaved soup, lukewarm; warm and cold bites, although it is flavorfulTraditional salad-Refreshing, was actually very goodKofta kebab-Was really good, surprisingly made freshly on the grill after hearing the microwave go off so much.Chicken kebab-Same grilled to order and juicy and not overly seasoned.Rice-For the chickens rice, it was weird and also microwaved cold with some bites warm.The rice for the Kofta was very flavorful but sadly MICROWAVED!!Crack sauce/garlic sauce-I don’t even know, not like any garlic sauce I’ve had idk what it was sadly.Heard the microwave go off about 5 or 6 times the hour I spent in there, why would it take an hour when you’re microwaving 70% of the meal? Waitress had a bad attitude seemed like she hated her job sadly. Was really excited to go here to try something that is supposedly famous, I don’t see the hype. I was honestly just so disappointed, the two things that I’d get IF I HAD to come back; the kofta and the crema. Crema was so good, so good!Filfillah Mediterranean GrillOlive and LambThe restaurants I wish we would have tried and not something that was on TV it’s like they got their fame and stopped caring about cooking, it was $55 for 2 plates and one appetizer with tip added. I’m giving a rate of 2 stars other wise it would have been a 1 star review; because the flavor is there just that microwave and baby mush with crackers just got to me.

We first tried this location when we saw it on Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives. This has been a staple in our family ever since. I've tried a plethora of options and I continue to come back to the Kafta Kabob, Rice & Lentils, and I refuse to leave without the Hummus. Lebanese cuisine uses cracked wheat, mint, and onion - a combination which was new to my palate. It's refreshing and delicious and pairs well with the strong garlic of the hummus. This is the spot we always recommend to our family, friends, and coworkers.
