“ Super friendly people, food was very tasty! Olga, our server was very nice. Thank you. Definitely will be back ”
“ One of the best Lebanese food I have had here in USA. Hands down their biryani was out of the park kind of dish. Other dishes ordered by my party were good as well. The service was kind of slow. They have beautifully decorated outdoor seating . ”
“ Poked my head into a few restaurants in this area and was totally sold because of the menu and decor. While unassuming on the outside, it’s very fresh, modern and Middle Eastern vibes were such a mood! The menu was extensive and since I knew I wanted to try a few things I just got one of their Mezza platters - the perfect thing to order, could easily feed 3-4 adults and you get a taste of everything. Having lived in the Middle East, I have a very high standard for hummus, tahina, falafel etc. this was some of the best I’ve had in the states! Also ordered the baklava - not at all disappointed, actually so good. Service was great, Yulia was excellent! I had multiple drink refills without asking and an offer for one to go. She brought the exact amount of boxes I needed to take everything home... PLENTY of leftovers cause I was a solo diner. ”
“ The chicken shawarma was exceptional. The chicken was perfectly cooked, seasoned with all the traditional spices, and not at all dry. The garlic sauce was excellent, and the hot sauce had a delightful kick. I'd rate it 8.9 out of 10. The fries could have been better, but the outstanding customer service more than compensated. The employee who took my order was exceptionally friendly and kind. ”
“ Have had dinner several times with a friend and will order for take out. We always like to try a new appetizer when eating in. They have a quaint small patio to sit outside that is much more delightful than sitting inside. At night, they have small lights all around outside as well which is nice. I love the grilled chicken salad here! It is truly delicious and very refreshing to have. You can order it half or full size. I also enjoy drinking a glass of wine if dining in and their wine options never disappoint. The waiters sometimes may take a bit to come to you but others will also come by to see if anything is needed. ”
“ Authentic Lebanese food, I always go there whenever I get the chance, never disappoints. Their hummus is legendary. I recommend getting the platter if you want to try a wide variety of dishes, it comfortably fits two people. Also don't forget the dessert! ”
“ My first time dining here for lunch and it was a really good experience. I got the Pistachio Chicken salad half-order (also added the Beef Shawarma) and I really liked it. The portion is very generous. We didn't have to wait long for food to come out. For dessert, Bird's Nest has the right amount of sweetness. Definitely recommend this restaurant. ”
“ This place is fantastic! My friends and I all agreed that it was the best lunch we've had in a long time. We couldn't stop raving about every single dish; everything was delicious, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere is charming, and the service was excellent. Can't wait to be back! ”
