This is an authentic restaurant where you can truly enjoy Lebanese food. I ordered chicken shawarma, tabbole, manakeesh and (of course) Kenefe dessert. Everything tastes great and I can wait to go back. There are plenty of tables to dine in, and the owner is a nice person thanks

You can tell that the owners really care about their business and the ones that come to the place. They were very helpful and friendly. They place has enough indoor tables and stays very clean. Food was very good, my only complaint is that the salad had too much dressing. Come visit!

Glad to see this establishment reopen. Staff was amicable and quick service. Beef shawarma wrap was fantastic, good seasoning and sauces to complement it all. Ambiance is nice with good amount of seating.

Great eating experience, wow! Love the selection of desserts and the people working the counter are always super friendly. They even have WiFi so I settled in and took some work calls. Would highly recommend this place to anyone in the area, and just ask the front desk for recs – they know what they’re talking about (and don’t worry, they do not just recommend the most expensive item). One comment, not a huge fan of the lunch platters. Prefer the breads and baked goods. If you’re looking for an amazing kebab, this might not be your spot but other food is heat.

I’ve heard so much about this place and this is my first time eating there. They had very nice service with smile on the workers face. As well as fast service. The food was delicious and beyond expectations. I ordered Lahmajun, shawerma chicken and beef and both was very good. I would easily go back their to grab a bite highly recommended

It is the first time I have visited this place. From what I could see, it is operated by amiable owners. The food is prepared as soon as you order it, and the portions are generous, so it’s just what you’re paying for what you get. You can feel (and taste) the freshness of the food and the fact that it’s made as soon as you order it (which can be a bit of an inconvenience if you’re in a rush).

Growing up in an Arab household with amazing cooks has made my standards for Arabic food extremely high. This place delivered and rocked my world! The zaatar and cheese manakish was great and the show stoppers were their sweets which were divine. Don’t walk but run to this place and try it all. The owner/workers were all also so kind and the place was spotless!

Food is made to order for the most part so it takes some time to get your order. Service was great. Food was ok. Desserts are great. Had the beef plate and the skewer was good, saladwas great, while rice and hummus was ehh. Hold to a high standard as I’ve had great middle eastern food. Great selectionof pastries.

Beautiful and authentic middle eastern “sweet cheese” pastries Staff were welcoming and informative regarding foods that we wanted to try. If you want something out of the American ordinary, I highly suggest. I tried the Knafeh, perfectly savory and sweet.
