The fatayer, lachma b'ajeen, ma'amoul, my personal favorite graibe are all here baked on the premises. He has a sublime looking knaifeh and baklawas. Small place but full of brilliant Syrian and Middle Eastern delights. The ma'amoul he makes are better than mine per my husband. Definitely recommended.

Even though it was close to closing, this family run business still cooked up an amazing combo platter for me. The combo platter had chicken, kebab, beef, tomatoes over rice. The proteins and tomatoes were perfectly grilled with right amount of char. The meats were tender and juicy. I was only going to eat half and save half for tomorrow, but I ended up eating majority of the entire plate and fell asleep in food coma bliss. 10/10 I would do it again.

I ordered a lamp ramp from this place, it was pretty expensive but it was my first time there and…read moreif it was then worth it. It was about 5"-6" long sealed wrap. There was barely and chunks of meat and were small and very dry telling that it wasn't freshly grilled... you would think that with barely sparingly having any meat the void would be filled with mixed veggies but there barely was any at all just onions if any and mostly lots of think sauce to fill the void... ridiculous Also, I asked for medium hot spices but what I got was as mild as plain yogurt... if I can truly rate this I would go to -3 stars... I Timmy's wrap would be more filled, tastier, and fresher than this place... what verified my poor experience was that 20mins later I had the runs big time along with just liquid pouring out... before all this I was perfectly fine no issues and hadn't eating anything since morning and it was late evening at this point. Enough said, I highly don't recommend this place. Even if the food was good or ok the portion makes it a waste of money and better to spend it elsewhere the fresh, better portions, and quality, and healthier...

My coworker and I came here on a Saturday afternoon, we got a reservation ahead of time and I'm glad we did because this place was pretty busy. We got their aperol spritz for drinks which was very refreshing, would recommend this for the summer. For food, we got their dip platter and chose their hummus, labne, and baba ghannouj. My coworker was gluten-free so they were very nice to give us some gluten free chips instead of the bread with the dips. We also got their halloumi fries which came with a pomegrante dipping sauce - I LOVED IT! The halloumi fries were cooked so well! We also got their prawns which were really fresh and delicious. I would definitely come back! Their hummus was so good, it's for sure a very authentic Lebanese spot.

I got their Grilled Lebanese Arayes Akawi Cheese (Pita Bread with Akawi Cheese grilled). The cheese was nonexistent existent and the photo comes with veg which never came. I also got the Falafel plate (Five falafels with rice, fattoush and tabouli salad, hummus, tahini, a stuffed grape leaf, and pita bread). I said no rice which they offered fries instead! Great, yes. I said no pita as well and added sides of their garlic sauce and their spicy garlic sauce. This plate is huge! Easily 2 meals. Mines came with rice and no fries and pita. Also, their spicy garlic sauce was just hot sauce. The stuffed grape leaf was not fresh and was not right. The salads, falafel, and even rice are good. But would not make another visit.

I definitely could have taken half home and still be full. The plate comes with chicken shawarma on rice with a pita/saj, and Tzatziki sauce, salad, and hummus. The chicken and rice were flavourful! But the chicken was too dry for my soft mouth. Hummus had a little too much olive oil for my taste (at first bite it tasted like I was eating actual olives, which I don't like) but was overall creamy. I didn't like the salad or Tzatziki sauce but that's just my flavour profile! The salad itself was really fresh and vibrant and Tzatziki sauce is probably as normal. Service is much like a food court. Self-serve, self-seat, no water provided. It's a small restaurant with around six tables.

We started with appetizer the platter with kibbeh, which is like a samosa and fattosh salad which is like a fresh salsa salad. I ordered Lamb shanks with grape leaves on the server's recommendation. The stuffed grape leaves indeed paired well with the shank. Another friend had the shank with cabbage rolls. Another friend ordered the kebab. It was a bit try and had wished to order the shank instead. Another ordered roast lamb shoulder and another couple ordered the whole sea bass. They liked the sea bass and it was enough for 2 to share. To finish off the meal, I ordered the anise tea. It was very fragrant but light so need time to steep to bring out the flavour. The Arabic coffee was like Turkish coffee with cardamom added. Both very interesting and the server was telling us all about health benefits of anise tea esp with osmanthus flower and was so nice she even brought out the flower for us to see and smell. We tried 2 different desserts- Kunafah, and Nammourah. Overall it was not only a lovely meal but also educational! lol.

Just stuck with some tried and true favourites, but came with some friends who hadn't tried it before. The huge slab of piping hot bread definitely raised their eyebrows just as it had done for us when we came in previously. I suggested we all share a small order of the Mixed Plate appetizer, so we did that and there was still plenty left over for me to bring home. My favourite dip in the Mixed Plate is the Babaghannush. I love it so much that I decided to have a separate order of Babaghannush as my main entree! My daughter ordered her beloved Cheese Lovers Pide again, while our friends ordered their own Cheese Lovers Pide as well as a Greek Salad and an order of the Lamb Chops. This is a great place to introduce people to Turkish food.
