INCREDIBLE - hands down the BEST Lebanese/Syrian food I've ever had in my life. Freshly-made and very high-quality. Service is also warm and welcoming - when you're there you feel like family. 11/10 stars!!

Had basically everything on the menu and was not disappointed by a single thing. Must haves are the zatar bread and hummus, spinach and feta pies, the garlic chicken wrap is delicious. The rice pudding is also really good. Anything I’ve had I haven’t been disappointed by.

The food here is so fantastic, I wish I had some right now. Not to be missed: Spinach pies, spinach/feta pies, zaatar bread, baklava, pita bread, tabouli, hummus...honestly I'm sure anything you get here will be amazing. I just haven't tried everything yet.

Have returned to this place and yet again blown away by all of the delicious food. Basically tried everything on the menu and the zatar bread and rice pudding was delicious. The woman who runs this place is always a delight. We sat and stayed for a while and it was nice not being rushed. Definitely will try and return soon.

BEST LEBANESE FOOD AROUND !!!! I would order from her every time I can . The pita bread and hummus is so fresh

All other Mediterranean bakeries & restaurants pale in comparison to the delights available at Sanabel.I've tried nearly ALL of their products. I have a well-travelled, authentic, Mediterranean pallette and their foods are spectacular!If you're not convinced, go in, order a snack & sit at a table & enjoy their gorgeous greenery & you'll be hooked!

While visiting the area for work, I wanted to get something I liked instead of the normal catering by chains. I love Middle Eastern Food so wanted to check this out since it was only a 10min drive. 3* is probably being kind since the service was so awful. The lady is a 1 person shop so she'll take one person's order then go back to cook it then bring that person their food. Then take next order. So there were only three people in front of us but we were inside 20min before we had our order even taken. The food was good but pricey for what you get. Let alone how long it takes to get it. Very strong garlic taste, which for me was a positive. Definitely won't be coming back since when I am in the area, I have limited time for lunch. Not the type of place if you only have 30min for lunch. I got the Spinach & Feta Hand Pie plus the Chicken & Garlic Sándwich. All tasty but for $17 you would expect more filling.

It is just as the owner has gone on record saying, "Nothing fancy, but everything is fresh" (my paraphrase). I ordered a falafel sandwich from the menu. I didn't count the number of falafel in the wrap but there were maybe 3 inside the wrap. It wasn't fancy, but it was fresh. The freshness and how perfect the falafel were cooked is what stood out to me a made the visit a worthwhile visit. It also transported me back for just a moment to eating falafel in the Middle East a half a year ago. The baked goods and grocery food items looked interesting and delicious. I wasn't sure of most of what I was looking at but I recognized some food items. It all looked like very good homemade food. The store was very well maintained and clean. The owner was very nice to me and went out of her way to be hospitable. From her interaction with others it seems like she has a very strong and loyal customer base.

This is largely a takeaway restaurant, although there are a handful of tables if you want to eat in. I can’t rate service or atmosphere because I only do take out. That said, it’s very difficult to get Mediterranean food this good anywhere at all. We’ve eaten a lot of Mediterranean in many cities, and Sanabel’s is among the very best. Her tabbouli is perfect- wonderfully fresh, and she often sells out of it… so calling ahead to save some is a VERY good idea. Her pita bread is homemade, fresh, and delicious. Everything at Sanabel is great, but do NOT fail to get her yellow lentil soup and also the Baba Ganouj. The flavors are absolutely amazing! Forget that Mediterranean chain in the area. Get Sanabel’s food, take it home, and eat like royalty!
