We got the appetizer sampler, the Kafta, limeade, and the house salad. And it was all AMAZING. I would come back for all of it but the appetizer sampler and wine would be a perfect day

This family run restaurant is an absolute GEM. I love to treat myself to lunch here when I’m in town. I have been enjoying Cafe Barada for many years now. My favorites are the Fattouch Salad and the Lentil Soup. Everything is absolutely delicious and you can taste and feel that the food is made with love and passion. The service is amazing, too.

This was my first time at Cafe Barada, but I was blown away with how nice the staff was, how tasty the food was, and the portion sizes are great. I’d highly recommend the desserts pictured here the baklava and halvah my partner a regular baklava consumer said it was the best they ever had!

Cafe Barada quickly has become one of our favorite neighborhood spots! The most flavorful, comforting, tantalizing and authentic Lebanese food in this area, for sure, and it is also run by the kindest family. The grapeleaves are the closest I can find to Situ’s!

Delicous lebanese food. The lunch specials were a good size and the hummus was outstanding. I recommend trying it with pickles. They also have great baklava and a nice atmosphere.
