Food was absolutely delicious, especially the burrata and labneh appetizer. Service was also great. Would recommend!One-time atmosphere problem: there were some extremely loud men at the bar, who seemed to keep requesting (and the bartenders obliged them) extremely loud music. It was hard to have a conversation. The drunk guys practically stumbled onto our table at one point. I think this was probably a one-time thing, but it definitely dampened the experience and didn't really fit the restaurant's vibe otherwise.

We just came here for the first time!On the door it say now open. As we entered the light skin lady behind the bar with curl didn’t even greet us and ask us to go outside until the restaurant open in 10mins.She is definitely not a welcoming person at all! So we decide to leave. The First impressions is always a must!

Might have been one of the worst service experiences at a restaurant I’ve had in the last 10 years in New York. First round of drinks come out and the server spills it all over my pants. No apologies just a comment on how they filled the glass to the top. Second round of drinks came out and tasted completely different and undrinkable. The servers response was to wait 15 mins for our new drinks to come out as they needed to make more juice for the drink I ordered (so they knowingly served a subpar drink in the first place). After sitting at the table for 2 hours our entrees never came out. When we asked a server about it he came back to the table and accused us of never putting them in because they had no record of it. And then made an excuse about how they were busy and might’ve missed it. No apologies or acknowledgement that they messed up. After over 2 hours we left and grabbed dinner elsewhere.There are much better places in the area that know how to run a business.

$90 to be ignored. Literally the worst service in NY. Paid for a $16 cocktail that was basically soda and gin labeled as a spritz and served in a mug. Mezze plate was fine but not remarkable. Potatoes were weirdly flavored. Def not going

Poor service and inconsistent quality. The first few times I went the chicken sandwich was amazing and the last couple of times the bread has been stale or a small piece. Of chicken. Considering a sandwich and one beer is going to set you back over $40 it should be better

Not the biggest fan of Mediterranean food but Ill admit they did a pretty good job at convincing me otherwise. First off the restaurant is very nice and lowkey with good aesthetics (especially the lighting). The drinks were prepared to perfection, good mix of alcohol and flavor. The mezze plate was elite, I’ve never had hummus so fresh. The halal fried chicken sandwich was delicious, crispy and very well seasoned. Please try!!!

Sweetest bartenders….and the babaganoush is amazing and rich and smokey. Plus, cooool knit decor. Highly recommend for date night, friend night, everything! Excellent white wine.

This has become my new favorite restaurant. It’s a must try and a great go to for Lebanese. Falafel is perfect in my opinion, super soft in the middle with a deliciously crispy “shell” - even the cocktails were fantastic. 10/10

I really wish I would’ve read the reviews more carefully before coming because I experienced the same issues everyone is sharing - food order took forever to come out. Staff could’ve easily explained it’ll take a bit longer but didn’t. I had to ask about multiple orders at different times.I wish I could say the food was worth the wait but it wasn’t. The mezza plate was meh, the shawarma was not memorable, and the falafel chicken sandwich was disappointing. I was really hoping to like this place.

Let me start off by saying that the food and drinks were fantastic and I would definitely go back. I’m giving it 5 stars because I really did have a great time overall. I would like to note a few things that would improve my experience next time. 1: the waitress had an odd demeanor and the friend I was with can typically get anyone excited to talk to but this woman was not having it. She seemed a bit like I’m too cool for this but maybe that’s just what you get at some places in Brooklyn. 2: our entrees came out while we were still eating our appetizers. I would have appreciated having those spaced out a bit more. It felt rushed. It did not deter me from wanting to return or enjoying how amazing the food and drinks were!
I love the vibe of this place and man, when they cook their food fresh, it’s incredible. The shawarma is ??More than once however I’ve ordered the shawarma for pickup and bitten into a cold sandwich with lamb that’s overly charred and sitting in a fridge for too long. It didn’t even seem like it was reheated to the point where it was past lukewarm.It seems like an issue with how / when they cook food and how long they store it, because when I’ve had one cooked fresh its a night and day difference.I really hope that they solve this issue because I do love ordering from here and the owner seems really cool. I just don’t enjoy playing Russian roulette with a pricey take out option ($26 total for the sandwich)

Good but sometimes some conflicting flavors. I really enjoy Tanoreen Bayridge so it has tough competition.

Great cocktails. Decent food. Terrible service! Waiters were more interested in hanging out behind the bar drinking themselves then attending to our meal. It was busy when we got there, so at first I assumed they were slammed, but it emptied out and still we remained, totally ignored.

Food is bomb - love the tabouli salad, mezze platter, and lamb burger. Drinks are delicious and the staff is super friendly and it’s a cute vibe in there! We live in the area and go almost weekly because we crave their food so much! Bar tenders and staff are the best
