Every time I visit this restaurant, it’s an exceptional experience. The place is always spotless and welcoming, and the atmosphere makes you feel comfortable the moment you walk in. The food quality is consistently outstanding — fresh, flavorful, and prepared with care. Our waitress Hailey is friendly, attentive, and always professional. But what truly sets this place apart is the manager, Hani. He goes above and beyond every single visit. His hospitality is unmatched, and he always finds a way to make us feel special and appreciated.
Wow. The food was fantastic! Very friendly and welcoming atmosphere as well. Food was fresh, quick and very good. The spicy garlic sauce was a game changer on the fresh bread. The meat and hummus entree with the lamb was top notch. Everything cooked well and seasoned very good. Our lovely waitress Lena was super friendly and attentive. I recommend stopping by and checking it out.
Wow. Phenomenal food and atmosphere. The lamb cooked medium was outstanding. It came with rice and some veggies which complimented it so well. We also loved the shaved beef. Had amazing flavor, tasted so comforting. The lentil soup and salad were also amazing. Please try this place out if you’re considering it, you won’t regret it. It’s so lively inside and very well decorated. Several parties were going on with big tables and yet the food still came out at a reasonable time with great flavors. The food is such high quality. Our new favorite restaurant. We will definitely be back and tell everyone about it.
Went during a very busy Saturday evening. Waited about 10 minutes for a table. Service was friendly but overwhelmed. Had the Shish Tawook (grilled chicken skewers) with extra sautéed mushrooms and a small greek salad (which did not turn out to be so small). Food was tasty. Portions were generous, and prices were reasonable.
Visiting from out of state and picked this place off reviews and price point. It was the best choice! Husband and I got mint lemonade and it was freshly refreshing in the muggy heat. The hummus was smooth, shawarma was delicious. The portions are huge and the price is super reasonable. The establishments decor was really lively and fun, it was fun topic of how the wiring works. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Service can be slow, but honestly it's worth it. It's a good place to cool off and have a sit down.
This is my first time trying Lebanese food here and it's an absolutely nice experience. The beef is tender, the almond rice is seasoned just fine and the chicken is amazing. Bread and soup also tastes very good. Large portion with reasonable price.
Food: we ordered a platter for three people, and it was very filling and tasty. Service: the service was good and fast Ambiance: the restaurant was well lit and had a lot of space between tables. Parking is in the back in a parking garage.
