Ordered the beef medium but I recommend closer to rare as your preference desires because the tenderness and flavor. We try to stay on the healthy side so we opted-out of the side of rice for the salad and it set in well with the beef. The grilled haloumi cheese has a great texture, flavor and not too salty as one would expect. It comes with sides of tomato and cucumber slices so it works to clear the pallate in between bites. Now we all know how busy this place can get so I always recommend coming on weekdays if it fits in your schedule. If you come for dinner or on a weekend, allocate some extra time for your wait. They do have a covered patio now and as we get closer to warmer weather, it will work out fine. Come and make your way around the menu as there are many savory plates to experience with family & friends. Share and experiement!

We tried out three plates and all the sides with it too. It was delicious and came with a lot of pita bread. Overall, this is a great restaurant and the owner/chef makes the ambiance fun.

Serving amazing Lebanese cuisine, the abolute must-get is the Kaak bread with toasted sesame seeds. This bread is made on the spot, fresh from oven to table, and is some of the best bread I've ever had. Everything else was absolutely delicious as well including great hummus, shwarma, and fresh vegetables to round out the meal. I especially loved the stewed fava beans ("Ful"), which were incredibly rich and satisfying. My vegan dining companion was very happy with his options as well. I was treated to free baklava for Mother's Day...thank you! The baklava was fresh and not too sweet, which is hard to find. Service was friendly and our server answered our multitude of questions with patience, making great recommendations. I will definitely be back! Patio or inside dining is available.

I ordered the Chicken Shawarma plate and got some warm chicken on top of warm rice. It wasn't hot and freshly cooked. The salad wasn't that crisp and the salad dressing tasted a bit mid. The front of the restaurant also leaves much to be desired. You can't even tell there's a restaurant here from the street with so few windows! This whole plaza looks sad and dilapidated.

The staff is always incredibly friendly, and we love seeing one of the owners working hard behind the counter - it really shows how much they care about their business and customers. My husband and I hadn't visited since the beginning of the year, so we were pleasantly surprised to see some upgrades during our recent visit. Their dishes are now served on actual plates, complete with beautiful gold-colored silverware. It may seem like a small detail, but it really elevates the dining experience compared to having everything served in paper wrappers. Great decision! The food is consistently delicious, and the restaurant has a large outdoor patio with plenty of space, making it a fantastic location for parties, celebrations, or larger gatherings. We always enjoy our visits and look forward to coming back again soon.

This was very unusual and not professional. More concerning, my wife and I ordered a salad, and shortly after eating, both of us developed stomach pain and diarrhea within a few hours. Based on the timing and symptoms, we strongly suspect the food may have been the cause. I contacted the restaurant the next day and spoke with a staff member (name starting with "A"). She took my number and said management would call me back. No one followed up. I called again a few days later, and was told the same thing -- still no response. It has now been about a month with no communication or resolution. Very disappointed with both the food quality and the lack of customer service. I would not recommend.

Tear off some pita, scoop up some of the dips, and embrace the delicious small bites. Stuffed Squash and Eggplant: You can get either squash or eggplant, or both. I prefer the squash. The zucchini is firm, just soft enough, but still with the perfect amount of structure. It has been hollowed out and stuffed with ingredients similar to a dolma (stuffed grape leaf). The filling of rice and ground beef is soft. The eggplant is much softer. They are cooked in a tomato sauce and served with a cool creamy yogurt. Babaganouj: This mezze is a roasted eggplant dip. The eggplant is mashed with tahini and lemon juice for a smoky and slightly bitter flavor. It's smooth, creamy, and a bit chunky. Parking: There's a little lot to the side.

We found a spot easily at 5:30 pm that night. The owner was inside chatting with another diner when we came in. He greeted us immediately and told us to sit anywhere. He brought over water and two menus right after that. The ambiance here is simple and would make for a good place for lunch, a casual meal, or getting takeaway. For appetizers, we ordered two dips: the labne and baba ghanouj. Both were perfectly creamy and flavorsome. They came with toasted pita bread. For mains, my husband got the chicken shawarma which he really enjoyed. I took a bite and loved that it had garlic sauce inside. I got the falafel plate, which I enjoyed. Overall it was a large plate, but there were only three small falafel. I thought the quality of the food and the serving sizes were great for the price. Would highly recommend and return.
