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.

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!!
