I had the beef shawarma sandwich, which was big, packed, and full of flavor. I also got sambusek, which reminded me of what I'd eat back in Lebanon. My husband got Gina's special plate (a mix of kafta, beef, and chicken with toum and hummus) and loved it. It was the perfect way for him to experience the flavors of my country, and he finally understood what I mean when I say "this is what it's supposed to taste like." And Gina herself is the sweetest. You can tell everything is made with love. We'll definitely be back!

I have told everyone I know about it!! I order the chicken shawarma. Without a doubt one of the tastiest wraps I have ever eaten. I will tell you that when I get it in my head to have one it's not long before I am there getting it. So very tasty!! I actually ordered the chicken shawarma seasoning from Amazon in an attempt to try it on my own. The owner is an awesome guy as is the young man on the grill making all the wonderful sandwiches they offer! Hope they never go out of biz! Please go and give them a try you will not be sorry. I am salivating just thinking about it!

I had a very disappointing experience at Bow Café in Norwell. The food itself was average at…read morebest--around a 5/10--but what really made this visit stand out was the poor customer service. The woman at the register (short hair) was rushed, dismissive, and frankly disrespectful. When I tried to place my order, she seemed irritated, rolled her eyes when I misspoke, and told me to "stop confusing" her. She also made comments like, "I know you've been to other places--my place is different," instead of helping guide me through the menu. It created a very uncomfortable and tense environment. I left feeling anxious, which is not something you should experience after a simple food order. In contrast, a gentleman working there was kind and professional, which I appreciated. To make matters worse, I was not given a receipt despite asking, and I believe I may have been overcharged. I ordered a Greek salad with added chicken and a chicken shawarma panini, and my total came to $50. My mother's order was supposed to be removed and paid separately, but without a receipt, I have no way to confirm whether that was done correctly. Customer service matters just as much as the food, and unfortunately, this experience fell far short. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and works toward creating a more respectful and welcoming environment for customers.

Their hummus and toum are excellent, very authentic. But I'm writing this review because they really took it up a level (that we didn't even think was possible) this past weekend when we had them provide food for my son's rehearsal diner. Not only was the food (chicken and beef shawarma, falafel, grape leaves, hummus, toum, hot pepper mix, bread) outstanding, but Elio worked with us on price and pickup and was incredibly kind and generous with portions. Everyone, including vegetarians and people with gluten allergies, raved about the food. They made something that could have been hugely stressful a great experience, I can't give them a high enough score for this review! Thank you so much!

I'd recommend giving yourself a little extra time during busy hours. Our server was wonderful. She offered thoughtful recommendations, was attentive throughout the meal, and even wrapped up our leftovers for us. Everything we ordered was delicious and served in generous portions. If you're a fan of beef tartare, I highly recommend the Kibbee Nayye. It's beautifully prepared and served with olive oil, raw onion, fresh mint, and pita. The Family Platter #2 is also a fantastic option if you want to sample a bit of everything. Our favorites were the baba ghannouj, layered kibbee, and the super refreshing tabouli. We ended the meal with the Katayef Ashta, a pancake filled with sweet cream that reminded me of ricotta, and it was the perfect finish. We can't wait to come back!

Our server was attentive and had great recommendations. It's clearly a fine dining restaurant with reasonable prices. I am a fan of Lebanese food, but this place elevated the experience. The server mentioned that the lentil soup was amazing and he was correct. The soup was seasoned with rich vibrant Mediterranean spices. The grains in the soup added extra texture and elevated the humble soup. The kibbeh balls were fantastic. I have had kibbeh balls before, but these were the best: crispy on the outside and moist and perfectly seasoned ground meat on the inside. There were pine nuts and minced onions in the kibbeh that elevated the dish. Then came the kaftah kebabs with grilled vegetables. Those vegetables were grilled nicely. The ground beef and lamb kaftah kebabs were spectacular. So meaty! These kebabs didn't have fillers. They were beautifully seasoned, grilled nicely and moist on the inside. What a delight! I recommend this establishment.

I swear theres always something new and appetizing every time we come in. I also really appreciate the sweet server who gifted our party of 6 roses during my friend's bachelorette. We so happened to have our brunch with the bride-to-be on Mother's Day, and despite how busy the staff was, they made an effort to extend kindness and make our friend feel special.

Ordered, received coffee pretty quickly but didn't receive food until 12:12 pm....No pressure here. I don't find this message on the table welcoming at all. I definitely don't love it. Welcome but hurry up and leave, lol. It's in poor taste in my opinion. I've never seen this before in a restaurant and probably wouldn't be likely to return given this makes patrons feel rushed and I drove an hour, out of state to visit. It kinda says our time is more valuable than yours when you limit patrons to an hour but give them 20 minutes to eat and eff off. My mom had the garden bene and she really enjoyed it. I had the banana Nutella foster French toast. Portions are really huge. You can easily split them. Lattes are really good too. Our server was very kind and attentive. A little pricy for brunch. Our bill came to 52.50 and I wasn't able to use a visa gift card which was strange. Luckily I had my credit card. Overall it was pretty good. Would I return to feel rushed for expensive brunch, probably not.

The highlight of the meal for me was the curry chicken patty - just the right kick of spices and creamy curry. Definitely recommend this restaurant! One note for improvement is that our food was served in styrofoam containers even though we were dining in. It would have been nice to eat with silverware and plates.
