The place was really nice. The architecture was really nice and it felt very cool. The food was incredible and I went with my friend and asked for two different plates and shared and it was more than enough. Although this may vary and will depend on how hungry you are. The he prices were fine and the staff extremely kind!

We received a shipment of food all the way from here to Scottsdale, Arizona — and wow, what an incredible experience! The food was absolutely delicious. Everything arrived uncooked but beautifully prepared, complete with clear, easy-to-follow instructions on how to create the feast. This meal was a thoughtful gift from our colleagues while my wife was hospitalized for over two weeks. At first, I’ll admit I was a bit disappointed that nothing was pre-cooked — but I couldn’t have been more wrong. Once I followed the instructions and prepared the dishes, the results were phenomenal. We felt like we were having a true feast in Lebanon! The appetizers were so fresh and flavorful, and every bite brought back beautiful memories of authentic Lebanese cuisine. My wife, our kids, and I absolutely loved it. It turned out to be one of the most heartwarming, delicious meals we’ve ever had — a true gift in every sense.

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!
