This place has extremely tasty Lebanese food. Shawarma, Gyro, hummus, babaganoush [sic?], and other Mediterranean staples made with the utmost tastiness. Took some friends there for the first time and the staff was knowledgeable about gluten allergies and other dietary issues. I ordered the Brussels sprouts just for fun and they were a revelation. Small dining area, but worth making sure you can sit down and dine. We loved every bite!

We stopped here on a Friday night and were delighted that they had seating immediately available. The food was absolutely fabulous! There were 3 of us and we shared the tabbouleh, the Mediterranean sampler platter and the Mediterranean veggie pizza (with the white sauce). My mother thought the falafels were the best she’d ever had. I especially loved the fried cauliflower and the veggie pizza was absolutely divine. (Definitely try the white sauce if you like garlic).

We had a very nice dinner here! It was a nice change from all the seafood we’ve been eating the past few days. The hummus was delicious as was the chicken & lamb kabobs.

Very tasty, casual, great value. Started with a $30 bottle of tempranillo, olives and sauteed brussel sprouts… Yum! Then had shrimp shawarma in a pita with very fresh shrimp! Did I mention I usually catch my own seafood and have very high standards?? Thankfully my gluten intolerant wife couldn’t finish her lamb shawarma over rice!… That was crazy-yum too! The only constructive feedback I’d have is maybe a bit too much salt, but we usually eat at home and back off from normal American salt preferences. Go! You won’t regret it!

I promise: This place is awesome. I had the chicken kabob (with couscous) AND added a Mediterranean Platter (to share)… and it was excellent. Everything was exceptionally well made: no shortcuts, all fresh cooked. The chicken was beautifully marinated and grilled. The couscous (Israeli style, large kernels) was extremely flavorful with nice herbs and spices. Heck, even the pita was warmed and had ground spices sprinkled inside. Awesome.

The best hummus I’ve had! We also loved the fried cauliflower on the Beruit salad (as well as the salad). The olive plate is nothing special, and the ambiance is a bit dark. Local beer was good too!
