    Shawarma mixed plate
    Andrew Y.

    I stopped here for a quick lunch near the Eiffel Tower. I ordered the shawarma mixed plate, which came with chicken, beef, pita, fries, salad, and sauce. I thought the food was a bit bland, but the portion size was great for the price: about 14 euros. The service was prompt and friendly.

    We enjoyed the service and the food; and it is quick walk from Eiffel Tower. Dont forget to try the desert.

    Katayef. So good!! And home made, recommended by the owner.

    My husband and I came here both for dinner one night and lunch another day. The food is really fresh, and you can tell the meat is quality. I really enjoyed both the mixed skewer plate and the lamb kebab plate. The Baklawa and Katayef were absolutely both delicious to finish our meal! Not to mention, we had great service! Definitely a good place to eat when you're near the Eiffel Tower!

    Food was decent. The Greeks do lamb and baklava way better. (No big surprise). The wait staff was rude. Small portions. The end.

We ordered a variety of traditional foods and shared, to get to try more of their options. I know when you're traveling in Paris, you only have a limited number of meals and you don't wanna waste one. This is worth it!

    I never give one star but this place is beyond anything I have seen when it comes to service. I was…read moresitting with my back to their central way and suddenly a knife hit the back of my head coming at a high speed. My skull was definitely impacted. I suspect the waitress dropped the knife as she was passing behind my back. She was non-apologetic and extremely aggressive and rude. Arguing that she did not know where the knife was coming from?! This should not have been her first reaction. I have to assume that somehow she lost the knife from a plate. She kept arguing with me when I pointed out that she should have shown some concerns and simply apologize. She initially did not. Eventually she came to her senses and finally somehow gave a fake apology. We left the premises without eating anything. The atmosphere was dark and kind of depressed. I have to assume that the owner must have been away. Quand le chat n'est pas la, les Souris dansent.

The food was delicious those beignets were to die for and after when we got our dessert the owner gave us a cup of typical tea that was marvellous and so fragrant. We will definatelly come back here when in Paris, super affordable and great food.

I saw it on the menu so decided to give this place a try. It was only one metro stop from the apartment we were staying at. We want to sit a pet a table towards a corner but were told we couldn't in case the restaurant filled up. There were 2 other couples there. No big deal We ordered a Bordeaux and beer... They only had Lebanese brands of both so we figured we'd give it a try. They were tasty! We split falafel which were amazing, hummus, and hallubi cheese (grilled). I liked it but my husband said it lacked flavor. I ordered the chicken takori which was very tasty. The menu stated that it would include one side but I was charged separately for the hummus. When my husband went to order his beef scharawma, they told him sorry, but they didn't make it today. He was a bit disappointed but just split the chicken I had ordered with me, The food was pretty good but not more than a 3 star restaurant.

The management and waiter were extremely nice. After we perused the menu we noticed that they the pre-fix menu a "mezza plate" for 18€ not bad. It also came with tea. 3 of our friends opted for this pre-fix, while I got the 28€ mezza, so we could all see the difference, and also share what the lesser one did not have. The difference was basically I got one additional appetizer, a fresh curd cheese, and more skewered meats. The appetizer mezza plate was beautiful. When he first served my dish I asked if it was for all of us to share, and he said no it was mine. I was pretty shocked at the quantity, and we had 2 more courses coming. Then 3 other plates came and it was almost just as large filled with tabouleh, houmus, kefta, fallafel, chesses, and a salad... It was was really good. Nothing out of the ordinary, but good. Then our main dishes came, and we had skewered meats of beef, lamb and chicken. They were a little bit on the dry side, so I asked if he had some tzaziki, he said that's greek/turkish, oops. But he went back to the kitchen and within 3-minutes came out with his version of tzazki and it was delicious. We used it to moistened our meats. Next came ta variety of Lebanese desserts laden with honey and mint tea. All-in-all a great neighborhood restaurant, not fancy, not exceptional, but very good basic Lebanese food and very reasonably priced.
