Their original dessert Aaysh Essaraya is deservedly the award-winning showstopper. Very unique flavors, super creamy, yet not excessively sweet or heavy. Loved it! And to top it all, it is run by the most wonderful couple whose passion for their food is evident as soon as you speak to them. Like I told them, this was first visit to Alforon, but certainly won't be my last :)

First of all let me say that the love dessert has me hooked. Best thing here! One of the most…read moreunique and tasty things I've tried in a while, and that's saying a lot w my sweet tooth. I love the floral and pistachio taste, and it doesn't leave you feeling heavy afterwards. The mint lemonade is also a must have- tastes like it came from the garden in the best way possible. For savories, I had the spinach and cheese bajeen, baba gannouj, and the lamb fatteh - all had a lot of flavor and tasted homemade. I love trying new foods so will have to come back with more friends and try other things on the menu. The downside of this place was being seated on the right side of the restaurant near the carry out section. This was the pit of despair. I noticed that most of the staff goes to the other end first, and as a result 4 tables got seated after us and all of them had food on their table before we managed to flag one of the staff. It was definitely busy in there but he replied that he was simply going in order, but apparently order or left side to right side instead of arrival. I recommend trying to get seated on the side w the stained glass windows for better service. Other than that, the experience overall was pleasant.

I was just so happy that we stumbled upon this Palestinian restaurant where we had a chance to speak with the owner.

We were initially aiming for the crispy shawarma however only Mira Mesa and La Mesa does it. So I guess that's next on our list! The wraps were unexpectedly big! This is probably the biggest wrap I ever had! Generous with meat and veggies. Their wagyu egg rolls are definitely must have! Falafel fries is really good too! All of these perfectly paired with their garlic sauces. My favorite is spicy lemon garlic! The staff are very knowledgeable about their menu. It's a food truck set up and there's mini standing tables for alfresco dining. SG was definitely lived up to the title #1 restaurant in the country on Yelp!

Came in here while I waited for my car at the shop, and they are generous with their portions... big enough to share. I got the Mediterranean bowl with beef, and it was flavorful. The meat was marinated well. You definitely need to eat it all together, or else the marinade on the meat will be too powerful. Their bowl also comes with the pita, which was a good addition, as they give you a big scoop of hummus. I give their food a solid 8/10 - flavorful and filling. The place is pretty spacious with seating inside and out. I appreciate the plants and framed Lebanese artwork. Something to note... this is not a full service restaurant. You place your order at the cashier, find a seat, and they'll bring you your food. I give their place and service, also solid 8/10. A great "grab and go" or "stay for a while" type of place.

If I ran this business, I would have a line outside the door. Not impressed at all with a business that's been here for many years, that doesn't get it. It's too expensive for a faulty sandwich.

No wonder this place is a staple in San Diego and literally every arab who is returning from the Jordan vs Columbia match, the prices are amazing and the food is absolutely incredible that the line went to the street. I had never had so many flavors dance on my tongue over a plate of rice and you get so much meat for the pricey pay. The beef was so tender moist don't even eat beef that much, but I'd become a carnivore because of this place. I bumped into my Syrian friend in the line and she was absolutely stunned and said this tasted like Damascus. If you are new to Arab cuisine, it's not just falafel.
