Owner was super friendly, service was great. Tastiest, crunchiest falafel I’ve had in NY!! I had the lamb kebab which was also great!

Some of the best middle eastern food I've had. Deliciously spiced with a hearty dose of garlic. Incredibly tasty. Friendly, fast and personal. service. A real find!

Anyone who says the food is less than 10/10 is lying to you 😂 easily the best falafel in NYC. Incredible service and wonderful atmosphere. We come back at least once a week. Exceptional in every way.

By far some of the best dishes straight out of Beirut!! The hummus bil lahmeh (with meat) is such a staple and it brings me back home every single time!! Topped it off with a beautiful Lebanese coffee!

The spot is so cute and filled with beautiful decorations in a random and abstract way that you’ll always find something to look at on the walls — whether it’s the corniche of Beirut or a homey DIY wall art!

The food was really disgusting—odd aftertaste, almost like saliva. I’d highly recommend avoiding it

The owner is truly passionate about serving good food and providing good service. The interior is fun to hang out in and provides a cool bohemian vibe. All the Middle Eastern dishes are wonderful, but they also have one of the best burger and fry combos in the city

Can't beat this place for vibes and homeade food. Owner makes you feel like family and is a real community spot. Definitely stay for desserts and coffee! I go with my family all the time and take people visiting here when we need a good Lebanese meal in a place we can catch up.

We came here before a Mets game for a quick bite to eat. The chicken was delicious! And the owner(?) chef was so gracious. Highly recommend!!

THIS PLACE IS A GEM. I would go everyday if I could. Service is impeccable, and sammi is a gem. Some of the best falafel I've ever had in my life. Definitely a must if you're in Jackson Heights!!!

This hyper-local establishment is run by one of the nicest and talented chefs around Queens who really flys under the radar. He cooks with skill and love which leaves the food super tasty. I have had a variety of dishes - falafel, lamb chops, mixed grilled platter, salads, salmon, etc. The flourless chocolate cake should not be missed. He even serves brunch on the weekends. The place is filled with colorful locals from the neighborhood. Don’t come in a rush as nothing except the desserts are pre-made - everything is cooked to order.

The owner was really kind and welcoming, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the food didn’t meet expectations this time. The rice had a dry, plastic-like weird texture, and the chicken was undercooked, hard, and had a strange smell. There was no sauce or seasoning, so everything tasted bland. Hopefully next time I’ll try something else from the menu and won’t be disappointed.
