What an amazing place, and an absolute must if you love the authentic taste of the Mediterranean…read more Everything is cooked over charcoal so you get a beautiful BBQ taste to many of the dishes which is really authentic of many Mediterranean dishes. The restaurant has been taken over in the last 2 years+ so if you visited the place previously and were dissapointed with the standard of the food then another visit is well recommended. The staff are amazingly friendly and very helpful, thoroughly explaining the dishes to the minutest detail with real passion and enthusiasm. Whether you are eating with friends, out with business or having a romantic evening with your significant other then this place is ideal and covers all basis. We started with the mixed mezze between two of us (which is plenty when having 2-3 courses). This can be served as a course for one person but we decided to share to get the taste of as much of the cuisine as possible. The great thing about having this as a starter is that there is two of everything so it is also great for sharing if you do not have a huge appetite. 2nd course consisted of the Signature dish of the Mixed grill (charcoal grilled minced lamb, marinated tender chicken and lamb cubes, garnished with salad, served with Cedar rice or French fries), which was sumptuous succulant and tasted amazing. my wife had the Sea Bass and stated that it was the best fish she had ever tasted. The meal was finished off with a nice sweet and all was washed down with a lovely bottle of house red. At the weekend (and sometimes during the week) they have an organist in the restaurant playing authentic lebanese (with the occassional western) music. A little bit Peter Kay(ish) but certainly added to the great atmosphere.

We were initially a little panicked as we walked further down the road than we remembered but thankfully it is still there! The waitress was great, super polite and it was a pleasure to hear her interact with the other tables. We both opted for the grills this time around rather than the Mezze dishes we'd had on previous visits. I had the chicken kebab, while my wife had the halloumi wrap. The chicken was so delicious, in fact I'd be quite happy to eat it again right now as I type this up. It came with a choice of fries or rice, I opted for the rice which was also good, and it came with the side of one of the best garlic sauces I've ever had as well as some salad. The halloumi was also great; we'd been to Nandos recently and thought that the stuff there was bland and rubbish. Thankfully this was like my memory of great halloumi; fresh tasting, a great texture and grilled to perfection. Wonderful experience and I can't wait to return.

Hidden Treasure This…read moreis one of the best finds in a long long time which happens to be very local too. If you love food, variety and quality with exceptional service in an environment and ambiamce of the Middle East then this is the place to be benefiting from a server of value for money. It is wonderful for all occasions and a delight on each and every visit. You get a sense of being spolit with fresh tea and baklava served at the end of your meal and hot hand towels... Couldn't ask for anything more.... Top tip is to always book as a very popular venue now known for quality and service with amazing dedicated team lead by Tariq in the kitchen and Anna front of house.

I enjoyed the Turkish coffee. Service was very fast. The atmosphere is very calm and I absolutely loved how beautiful and bright the space is.

While we waited the staff were courteous to give us olives as a starter on a small plate. We were promptly shown to table for two. The menu features, skewers, shawarma plates (bread sandwiches with various meat), main course and desserts. Our choice was mix of skewer lambs, marinated lamb chops and chicken cubes. As a side you get a choice of rice or chips. The appetizer was accompanied by a basket of bread to dip in eggplant with olives. The main course though...! It was just delicious! Hands down, from now on my favorite restaurant in Cambridge. The interior is modern, staff courteous, prompt meaning enough people employed to make sure you're well taken care of. The ladies' room was clean and neat (yes, bathrooms matter). The check was followed by complimentary baklava which melted in our mouth.

It was the middle of the day and I had the afternoon to kill before meeting others. I'd heard about…read moreJeita from the manager at the hotel I was staying at, who sung its praises, so I thought I'd stop by and grab a bite to tide me over. It was well after the lunch rush, and before folks started showing up for dinner, so I had the restaurant to myself. I looked over the menu, and decided that I wanted their hommos schwarma starter. After I had ordered it, I changed my mind, and felt I really wanted the spicier version of their hommos instead, the hommos Beiruty. They ended up giving me both, charging me for one, and provided loads of pita. I was looking for a snack, but this was turning into a meal! Anyway, I mentioned that I really enjoyed ayrans, a salted yogurt drink common to the Mideast, and asked if they could make one (it wasn't on the menu). The cook said he most certainly could, and had his own special recipe. Wow. They were not only providing a fairly cheap meal, but also a special drink not even on the menu! Anyway, both plates of hommos were tasty, especially the hommos Beiruty. The ayran, however, was in a class all to itself: it was singularly the best ayran I'd ever had in my life! I finished it, and they came by and filled up another glass (free of charge, no less). I walked out for 16 pounds, and had a bunch of leftovers! I regret with my activities this week that I could not stop by again. But I told folks I knew here all about it. Well worth a visit if you're in Guildford, even for the day.

A complete hidden gem! Found this place via Top Table…read more We had a very tasty mix schwarma and salad that was super fresh and really well dressed. This was followed by a good Moroccan mint tea which was just like my Grandmother used to make. The food is very authentically Lebanese/Middle Eastern (I'm from the Middle East originally). The shisha was also really good, about £8-10 cheaper than central London and much smoother. They do the coals properly just outside the restaurant. The interior of this place is decorated richly (perhaps not to everyones taste) as well as plush and comfortable. Service was fantastic and the reason this review ultimately gets five stars. Every single server we had had a great attitude. This made our Friday night after a long week at work. If you enjoy authentic Lebanese cuisine, great service and shisha done properly - this is a great place to spend an evening without Central London prices. I went expecting a lot less but was pleasantly surprised. We will definitely be returning.
