One of the best Lebanese restaurants I’ve had! Beautiful presentation and amazing flavors. I’ve tried many Lebanese spots across the US, but this is the only place with a perfect tabbouleh! Fresh, balanced, and authentic. The grape leaves were delicious too, but strangely both dishes weren’t listed on the menu (thankfully we asked the waiter, who was super friendly and helpful). Great vibes, great food, highly recommend!

Already looking forward to my next visit! The Lebanese cuisine was bursting with flavor and beautifully prepared. The grilled octopus and mixed grill are absolute must tries. You can really taste the depth of spices in the beef shish and chicken kebab everything was incredibly fresh. The drinks were crisp and refreshing, rounding out a fantastic meal. Highly recommended!

This place is absolutely phenomenal! The hummus, tabbouleh, and kebab kezar were all so flavorful, and the spicy sumac margarita was incredible. The pita bread was warm, soft, and delicious and they even brought out a fresh plate with dinner. Everything was just perfect from start to finish!

We went during restaurant week. The vibe was great, and the food overall was nice. We weren’t a huge fan of lamb and I didn’t really enjoy the entrees, but the appetizers were amazing (especially the eggplant). The dessert cheesecake had a strong cheese flavor, which I liked, but the mouhalabiyyeh was just okay
