Came here for dinner this past Tuesday to celebrate a couple of friend's birthdays. One of my…read morefriends called a head for a reservation since there were five of us just in case for 6pm. Service was friendly and patient as we tried to make decisions and asked questions. I have a friend that kind handle chile spice due to medical condition they were very accommodating when it was needed by having certain sauces on the side. We shared a number of dishes and two bottles of wine. We started with the Hummus bil Lahm ou Snobar, my favorite dish of the evening a hummus with bubbling spiced lamb. Baba Ghanouj, Bisara Munir, Arnabeet, Alhalaioun and the chicken and beef Shish Taouk. Everything was delicious. Flavorful, the proteins were cooked perfectly nice and tender. One of our friends likes meat a lot and hadn't cause he thought it was a vegetarian restaurant. We had to have the green chile sauce on the side of the asparagus dish cause of my friend but that was ok we were putting it in other items we loved it so much. Also the whipped garlic that came with the chicken and beef was a big hit! We had never had Lebanese wine and enjoyed our selections. Love that it felt like a healthier meal with the vegetables and spreads. Didn't feel stuffed after but definitely satisfied. They even comped dessert for my friends birthday which I believe was an orange rose water pudding. Welcoming warm space. Parking is fairly easy on a Tuesday night. Looking forward to visiting again

Great intimate family-friendly restaurant with authentic Lebanese food. Street parking…read more My favorites ares the lamb hummus with pine nuts and the squash grounded dip. Both were very flavorful and well balanced. Love the different textures. The roasted broccoli was OK, it was on the less cooked side The entree skewers were pretty good too. Shoutout to the kind service that let me combine and do half beef and half chicken because at the point I was too full from all the appetizers I ordered but still wanted to try both. One thing I really loved about the skewer is the sauces that came on the side: one tahini, one garlic, and one tomato. Such delicious sauces! Entrees were a little pricey though. Last but not least my party enjoyed the special Lebanese wine.

I wish this place was closer, but it is quite a drive for us to get out here. Too bad.

We used to order take away, but honestly, dining in isn't a bad experience. It's a deli vibe, nothing fancy, but the food does all the talking!!! The workers there are incredibly friendly, always serving with smiles. We typically order chicken shawarma, which is loaded with flavor, but recently I ordered the chicken shawarma plate and loved it! Their rice is so soft and flavorful. And don't get me started on their garlic sauce, it's divine! I'd bathe all the food in it if I could, haha. You could definitely split the plate with 2 people by the way, very generous portions, and you get their hummus with a few pita slices. Just a great way to sample alot of their flavors. You won't be let down by trying this place!

We were across the street and I remembered I was going to have Mexican the next day so we were looking for an alternative place when we spotted the sign for Blazing BBQ and decided to cross the street and try it out. The interior is clean bright and air conditioned. Nothing too fancy but welcoming and comfortable. There is parking as well. Went neighbor was going to order the kebabs but they were out. So she went with the chicken shawarma plate. I had the gyro plate. Generous portions and the meat was so tender. The sauces are delicious. We understood why they ran out of kebabs cause looks like they had just fulfilled a large order before us. You can tell it's a popular neighborhood spot. We were dining in but saw many people doing take out. Would definitely visit again now that we know there is parking or would even walk over again.

********CLOSED************…read more They recently closed and reopened under a different name. It's now called THE BOSPHORUS PALACE. We originally went because we had seen good reviews for Almanqal Mediterranean Grill. When we got there, the server mentioned it's basically the same place but with a different menu, so we decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The food took quite a while to come out and when it finally arrived, it wasn't even hot. The bread honestly tasted like something bought from a grocery store. The rice was very bland, and although the salad was actually really good, the chicken was extremely dry, chewy, and lacked flavor. The presentation looked nice, but the taste just didn't match. The portions were also quite small, and the prices felt very high for what you get. The service was just okay overall. Maybe they are still new and working things out, but for the price and portion size it just didn't feel worth it. Overall, it felt like a waste of time and money considering the quality and quantity of the food.

The biggest disappointment was the kabob plate. It was mostly rice with very little meat, and the beef was fully well done even though we ordered it medium-rare. The fries were also soggy and tasted like they had been sitting for a while before being packed. The fattoush was fresh enough, but for around $20 it felt like a very basic salad. I had also heard that dine-in guests receive unlimited pita refills, so opening our takeout order to find just a single pita felt super disappointing . Maybe this restaurant shines more as a dine-in experience, but based on our takeout order, I left pretty disappointed. Between the portion sizes, quality, and overall value, it just didn't live up to the price.
