Over all the door was great. My party and i enjoyed it. I think service could've been better but still good. But definitely would go back again!

My waitress was wonderful, but the food could use a bit of work. My food came out burnt —not just charred —and you could taste the bitterness. The rice had no flavor; I was literally eating boiled rice. The staff and team were very kind and accommodating. I do not want to deter anyone from going there, as I said, the staff was very kind and accommodating, just the chef needs to tweak the recipes a little, or maybe the chef was having an off day.

What a treat to experience delicious tastes not familiar to us. We love the service, the ambiance, and especially the food. It was a happy environment, with exotic scents surrounding us. I wish we could have eaten twice!

Dined outdoors with my lady for a most delightful midday lunch of tabouleh and calamari with hummus and fresh hot pita. Never disappoints.

Eh. The food was fine, the service was medium, though our server was nice. The portions are very small for the price and they apparently don't offer their sandwiches/lunch menu on Saturdays. Who wants to eat a $44 lamb chop at 11:30a in the morning? The picture I've posted is the Shish Taouk (chicken kebab) which is insultingly small for $28 (phone for scale). The rice was pretty bland and they forgot our toum. I won't be back and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Having lived a long time in Jordan and traveled a lot around the Midde East for 40 years, we are always trying to find " the right taste" of beloved dishes from those days. Some restaurants do lovely mezze but the main dishes are not so good.Others get the grills or stews right but take shortcuts on their mezze. Or the food is good overall but not a nice,calm atmosphere. We finally agreed that Mejana is where we can feel happy with the whole dining experience. Nice ambiance and service. A very fresh, lemony tabbouleh. Chicken shwerma sliders in mini pita. Some fun ways of serving kabobs over mini charcoal and kibbeh naya on a chilled marble pedestal! Would be nice if the kitchen stayed open a bit after 9:30 pm. We invite family and friends with confidence. Thank you.

What a fun place With unique entrees. The dip sampler as appetizer — flavorful, unlike anything I've had before. Kibeh was tender and tasty with no scimping on the pine nuts. First time here and we will return. Super huge thanks to staff for accommodating our lengthy dinner on a Sunday night! Ann was great as were others.

Came here about a year ago and had a bad experience. Gave them another try and nothing has changed.
Terrible service again, didn’t get past the appetizers and we had to leave.

Everything was DELICIOUS! The drinks were quite good (Stormy Beirut!), and the food stole the show. Outstanding, fresh, and authentic. We turned the large menu into a tapas experience, ordering many hot and cold appetizers and a fattoush salad to share around the table. Absolutely delicious food, very friendly and fast service, without being intrusive, and reasonable prices.
Highly recommended!

Ambiance was great. Perfect for conversation. Food was very tasty, but grilled meats were a bit dry when we ordered medium. A bit pricier than expected. Overall it was a good experience and I'd go back again.
