Friendly staff and nice Lebanese food. Ideal lunch place in an otherwise desolate location.

Stopped in today with my daughter while in the neighborhood and let me just say, fantastic owner who definitely loves doing what he does! The food was excellent...first time trying lamb! Cozy little restaurant that I highly recommend!!!

Derrick Johnson makes some of the best Lebanese food I've ever had...and that's saying something! I enjoyed my dinner here so much, and I'll certainly return the next time I visit my family in Johnstown. Thank you for bringing more dining options to the city outside of sandwiches, burgers, and wings!

Great flavour and the owner was really friendly! The food took a while to be served and it was pricey. However, it is very, very good food.

This place was absolutely wonderful. I have tried a lot of Middle Eastern / Mediterranean restaurants, and chef Derrick Johnson's skillful use of spices sets this restaurant apart. Many Middle Eastern restaurants in the area serve home-style Middle Eastern food, which is great, but the dishes here are different in that they seem like something you would find at a high-end restaurant in Beirut rather than your grandmother's kitchen. My favorites were the hummus and the tabouli (excellent!). Mr. Johnson was also kind enough to chat with me and my dining companions about his experience preparing other world cuisines, as well as the community outreach programs he has designed. Come for the food in addition to Chef Johnson's conversation.

The food is very flavorful. I like the setting in the inside. Derrick Johnson is a genuine & polite server/cook. The smell when you first walk in will capture you immediately. The food is a bit pricey but there's no where else in town to find Mediterranean/Lebanese food of this magnitude.
DELICIOUS! While I'm not the best at pronouncing the names of the dishes, our chef and waiter Derrick was very informative and loved explaining the foods as well as letting me test taste two of the different items I was debating between. I ended up getting the chicken shish kebab (which includes a plateful of sides plus two skewers of chicken), and a delicious peach fizzy drink that TASTES like a peach version of Mike's Hard Lemonade, but without any alcohol. It was wonderful.

Had a great meal, and conversation. Had the kibbe pita very good, and filling to boot. Grabbed a cup of coffee to go as well. I'll return to try more.

Had a great lunch today at Lazarus! Derrick is a great chef who seems to really know his stuff and cares about the community. We need to eat here more often!
