Excellent food, service and ambiance! Desserts are great as well. Look forward to going back!
I was recommend to go to the restaurant after I told my friend I was craving mashawi. She said jt is her favourite mashawi spot. I really liked the kafta and chicken and meat. It was kind of a small plate but I shared it with someone. The baba gaboush was really good too, perfect consistently. The taboolie was great, and I saw someone ordered a normal size and it was very large. The server was really nice as well. I also thought the decor inside was very nice. We would come back if we are in the area. Ambiance was very Lebanese.
Wow, excellent fresh food and amazing service! Highly recommend!!
You could walk into this restaurant full and you'd still eat everything they put in front of you. The food is top notch - classic levantine/Lebanese food. The tabboula is fresh, the fattoush is crisp and tangy. The hummus is really good too - they don't skimp on the tahini. The mixed grill for two is actually quite big and can feed 3-4 people if you get a couple of sides. The chicken tikka was juicy, the beef was medium rare quite delicious, and the lamb chops really well seasoned. The service is very good, very attentive. Food takes time to arrive because it's fresh and the place is made so you can sit and savor a meal, it's not a fast food joint. Ambiance is super cozy and homey too. Highly recommend and will go again.
Second review, not sure if the first sticks or not. But thought this place deserves the praise. Amazing, still til this day. The dips are fresh and delicious!!! I crave this all the time. Their grilled chicken salads are so good. Everything here is always fresh. I have to come sit down one day, we just don't have time as a family always. The garden mix, or le sajj garden whatever it is that comes w the different dips and taboulle salad is my favorite.
We loved it. The service is amazing. We had the chicken cubes and beef shawarma. They were so nice that even though they made a mistake by giving us fries vs rice what we ordered they let us have both. They went well above and beyond and we are looking forward to going again. Saw people playing card games. It's a great spot for you to go with a group and try all their dishes. We had a late dinner and had food left over.
I can promise you this place is delicious. I have never had a problem with ordering or dining. Staff is always attentive. I have never seen anyone smoke hookah in there. Maybe previous reviewers caught them on a random day. Being Syrian this food Taste's just like my mom's. Extremely authentic and fresh. Everything is delicious. I especially like the chicken kabob platter. The batata appetizer is delicious. Babaganoush, kibbeh, lamb dish with rice all good. I've never had a complaint about this place. Also dessert is always a hit for us.
I came here to have an early Christmas get together with my company. We were lucky enough to know the chef so we purposed to have everything family style. Portions are very generous! They're huge and so very flavorful. The staff was friendly and gave us really good service. I heard this place was authentic Lebanese / Arabic food and I totally see why. The flavors and delicious. The chef use the right amount of spices to elevate all his dishes. I forgot to take pictures of the appetizers but oh my gosh. Everything was so good. We had cold appetizers and hot ones. I loved the falafel the most. Our entrees were huge platters to share with everyone. The lamb was tender, over perfectly cooked rice. The toasted almonds gave the whole dish a crunchy texture. The gravy was liquid gold being spooned over my rice. The fried fish was tender with a side of steamed veggies. The lamb and chicken kebabs were so moist and flavorful: I loved the lamb the most! We had so many other dishes that I forgot to snap a picture!! Sadly they use to have hookah here too. But now they don't ! But overall, it was a great time trying this kind of cuisine.
