I ordered the Sujuk flatbread (Fresh dough!) and it was amazing. The owner also gave me some of his personal fresh figs and I love them. I have never had them before. I will be looking for them now and visiting every Mediterranean grocery store I pass until I find them. If you're in Annandale. Try Basil out! I can't wait until I am back in this area to try other menu items. The owner was super friendly and answered all my questions. So glad I stopped.

The food was good authentic lebanese food. Tried the babaganoush, kibbeh, chicken shawarma, gyro, and baklava and all delicious. I would have preferred to have the pita bread heated and no pickle in the gyro and a little more eggplant in the baba... Otherwise, great and also halal. The owner was very friendly and happy to answer all our questions about the different foods.

Simply the best Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food I've had in Northern Virginia, without question. Everything was so fresh, so tasty, and prepared to perfection. Owner was very friendly and professional, restaurant very clean and cozy. Will definitely return - night highly recommend the Labmeh Bi Ajin, kibbeh, falafel, and mixed grill platter. Fantastic!
