We ordered take-out online. The falafel sandwiches were cold and the falafel tasted as if they had been cooked several hours before and shoved into a microwave for a minute before pick up. Disappointing?

Stopped for a quick bite and both the items we tried tasted pretty good. Falafel felt a little underdone in the center but not a big deal. Service was quick, and the staff seemed polite. Nice spot for Lunch and Dinner.

I had high expectations based on the reviews and photos, but unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to them. It tasted like leftovers that had been microwaved and served , rather than freshly prepared. For Mediterranean cuisine, especially Lebanese, I expect freshly grilled and flavorful dishes, but the food was served at room temperature, and the meat was dry. I love Lebanese food and often drive to Paterson just to enjoy it, so I was excited to have found a place nearby. Sadly, the experience didn’t match the price I paid to Enjoy.
The dip sampler was only enough for one person to try, and the soda (machine dispensed) came in a very small, kid-sized portion with no refills. Even the bread was an extra charge. The only item that came close to being satisfying was the pistachio cake, which I believe is outsourced. I hope this feedback is helpful for them.

This restaurant is a wonderful gem in the heart of Cranford that can cater to all occasions. We have come here for business lunches, couples lunches and date night. The food is always on point, fresh, and of course delicious. The atmosphere is perfect and it is consistently exactly what we are looking for. Best Lebanese food around for certain!!

We got the seafood mix with red snapper and it was a good portion for us. All the food was seasoned deliciously and to perfection. The juicy shrimp was to die for and I could have eaten 20 of them. The salmon cooked to a perfect medium also was delectable.
The manager/owner was incredibly accomodating. My girlfriend is allergic to cinnamon and there are certain spices that have it but you wouldn't know. The manager triple checked (of her own choice) with the cook staff to make fully sure there was no cinnamon in anything we got.
The food was very good here and I can't wait to come back.
