Such a nostalgic place…read more.. Mom came into town, and we wanted to go back to one of our favorite spots growing up. Place is so welcoming, including the staff. We got the cauliflower to start, which is amazing. Perfectly fried, and tahini dip is so flavorful. We also asked for the garlic dip, which is so potent, but a must. We all got different entrees, and all the meats were cooked perfectly. Need to start coming back more often.

Ordered takeout while I was in the area. I came here about 10 years ago and honestly couldn't…read moreremember much about the food quality or taste, so I decided to give it another shot. I'm a huge Lebanese food enthusiast, and unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed. The fattoush salad was mostly wilted lettuce with a heavy amount of sumac mixed in. The dressing didn't taste authentic either (no pomegranate molasses or mint) which was disappointing because I genuinely love a good fattoush. The falafel also wasn't great. It was dry and oversized. Bigger doesn't always mean better when it comes to quality. The people working there were very friendly, and the service itself was pleasant, but the food quality just wasn't for me. Unfortunately, I won't be going back.

My friends and I ordered Turkish Coffee to kill time before brunch next door…read more Coffee was rushed to brew and was not enjoyable because the coffee grounds were all over the coffee and didn't sit on the bottom as it'supposed to be.. They brewed a pot of coffee and threw some mouth wash sized thin paper cups you get at the dentists to help ourselves instead of serving us with their ceramic cups. I know most don't add sugar and cream to Turkish coffee, but they didn't ask if we needed that or anything at all. Service was non existence . I've been here a few times in the past for their middle eastern pastry and spinach pies. I never felt welcome there for some reason, something in that extent. (Felt like we were ignored. I remembered now that's why I stopped coming here and started to go to Forn Al Hara down the street regularly with fresher and more delicious food and better customer service.

The grill and stone fire area. Super clean and fun to watch while the chef is cooking.

My tops were the Zaatar and the cheese bread. I imagine it's hard to go wrong, however. Some of the dishes were a bit spicy for me, but it was nothing a splash of the provided lemon slice and the great pickles couldnt cut through. Overall, loved it and would come back. Ah and we ended our meal with some incredibly fresh tasting baklava for about a dollar a piece. No skimping on nuts either! Loved this and cant wait to come back!

The young man who took his order was very polite and made great recommendations based on his favorite flavors. Everything was delicious: texture was amazing, VERY fragrant, and not too sweet. Although, It might've been too sweet if I didn't order the drink half sweet. I'm not sure how much everything cost because i didn't pay for it but i assume it's expensive as they use real, quality ingredients. My latte tastes pricey, probably $8 My photos don't do the items justice. I'm most excited to come back for another latte and their rice pudding (it tastes like roses!).

For two, we ordered the "individual portions" of Mandi Chicken (young chicken roasted with Yemeni spices) & Lalamb Haneeth (a roasted young lamb that falls off the bone). These were both served over a large platter of Mandi rice and came with Yemeni sauce and yogurt. It was expertly made, yet still gave us the warmth of a homestyle meal. The generous portions resulted in a second meal for me! On a Tuesday night, this place was quite packed with friends and families. It seems like wonderful place to host parties or business meetings. Someone nearby us had a birthday, and a group of staff came out with a dessert, blasting a traditional birthday song over the speakers and encouraged the whole restaurant to clap along! Despite the large gatherings, the restaurant is a no-reservation spot. They have a covered patio outside to seat an overflow of customers in case. Thankfully, my boyfriend and I were seated right away. They had a contactless menu, and we scanned a QR code to check our food options, but a server took our order and offered great recommendations once we waved him down. I would love to come back and try other dishes, like their grilled chicken or lamb--as well as the desserts and teas !!

Also, lamb soup is on the house and highly recommend taking it if they are offering it.

We had the chicken skewers that comes with salad that is made to order and fresh. We followed up this dish with a dessert that was on the house, it was not too sweet but enough to satisfy my sweet tooth. They provide the standard drinks, we got the bottle water to wash this meal down. There is plenty of parking here and easy to find off this busy road. We can see us returning to this restaurant.

The food is OK - it's not bad, but it's not great. Given that, there is no reason for it to be so expensive! I would totally come here more often if the prices matched the food level. Again, the food is not bad, it's just that the prices don't match the flavors.
