They both were really dry, so we asked for some tatziki sauce for the schwarma sandwich which was packed with meat, although a bit light on any veggies. They also brought some tahini sauce for the falafel which was really helpful. I only wish that they could bring this at first rather than having us ask for this. It would really made a HUGE difference in the sandwich and made it a 4/10 sammie to a 8/10 sammie. Service (5/5): The gentleman who was nice and really helpful. Ambiance (5/5): This is really a nice restaurant with a nice decorated interior. I was really impressed.

This place is a solid 5 stars. The complimentary house bread and zaatar come out warm and super fresh. It's hard not to keep reaching for more. We always order extra kibbeh, and the hummus with ground beef is excellent. The decor is the nicest of any Lebanese spot around and it makes for a great date atmosphere without feeling over the top. Everything tastes fresh and well made. If you're craving Lebanese food, this place delivers.

Went here with a friend after attending a choral concert at nearby Westover Baptist Church…read more It is clearly a neighborhood favorite because it was packed with a line out the door to be seated (so reservations are probably a good idea). I think we waited about 10 minutes to be seated, but it was worth it. The host checked on us several times to let us know our table was almost ready. We opted for mezze because we wanted a little bit of everything. My friend is picky so we couldn't do anything with lamb , but still had some very nice dishes: garlic hummus (very garlicky, smooth and tasty), fried halloumi (fried cheese - enough said!), pumpkin kibbeh (delicately spiced and delicious), and chicken samosas (nice texture and spices). The restaurant is not very big so it gets pretty loud, but the food is delicious and the service is good, too. .

I came here with my sister's for Iftar during Ramadan. The restaurant is decorated beautifully…read more The place is huge and good for groups. They have only buffet during Ramadan. I got there after 6pm. It was packed. It was my first there and had no idea what I was getting into. The menus doesnt explain much nor were prices mentioned. Its like $39.99 They also tacked on a service fee. Which is deceiving since its not mentioned upfront in the menu. You find out when you get your bill. The service was 5 stars. The young man very attentive and friendly. Ushered our dirty tables and brought us our drinks. I had minty lemonade which I recommend if your gonna eat a lot. Here's my gripe. Its very important to label food. None of the food trays or stations were labeled. I have several food allergies and I had no idea what was what. I had to ask what was this or that. One tray had rice and I saw something that had deep fried crispy something. I thought it was chicken... it was fish :( The hummus was good though. The baklava meh. The pita bread was good. Some rice tray had kabob type of meat but it was lukewarm. For the price I paid, its not worth it. Please label your trays. Im give this place another try with my husband after Ramadan. , I saw on the dessert menu they have Knafeh.. a delicious middle eastern dessert that I love. Can't wait to try that.

Plenty of parking around here too. I'd definitely come again whenever I'm craving Egyptian!

Wow! Pleasantly surprised how great this place was…read more Parking is a little tight & on a hill so be caution of that! Menu has a great selection of meats and kabobs to select from in addition to apps! I opt for the saffron chicken that pairs with saffron rice (can opt to have salad as well) and this was amazing!!! Chicken was extremely flavorful & juicy (for chicken breast especially!) the rice was fluffy & tasty (perhaps had some butter mixed in) I wish there was so sort of sauce to pair with this meal but still amazing. Service was friendly and nice - there indoor seating but the dining space a little limited. Recommend coming before dinner rush bc this place is packed!

This was no different very juicy kabob with adequate rice and roasted tomato! The bread was a nice touch. It was packed well! The only thing I didn't love was they added some extra seasoning in the middle of the kabob and I would've preferred it plain, but that's just down to personal taste. It was really good and reheated well as well. Would definitely dine in!

Hummus and grilled chicken were good- not the best I've had but decent. The vibe was nice and I liked the decor. I'd come back to try their happy hour!

As soon as you walk into this establishment you get a delicious smell of spices - we were immediately excited! We started with the mezze sampler and all dips were delicious. The bread is baked fresh on site and was the perfect mix of crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Our family got the salmon, mushroom crepe, zevian borack, brazino, and an order of hummus. It's very rare that everyone in the party thoroughly enjoyed their dishes, but we did! The zevian Borack I think was my favorite but it's hard to choose! The staff was so warm and welcoming, and we really enjoyed our family dinner here. The patio is dog friendly and we will be back this summer with our pooch. I cannot recommend this place enough!!

We got the octopus, and it had like four chopped up pieces for $28, as you can see in the photo. The branzino came out lukewarm and potato was cold. The plate consisted of 60% salad.

It was also a Saturday night and only four tables occupied.
