"What sets this spot apart from the rest of Miami’s Lebanese restaurants is their oven. You can spot the monstrous double-decker thing through a small service window just past a deli counter filled with kibbeh, butter cookies, and baklava. And you’ll want anything that gets quality time inside of it, like pillowy pita to dip into baba ganoush, or the cheesy lahm bil ajeen flatbread. Part of the fun of coming here is interacting with the owner, who will help guide you through the menu. After you order a juicy lamb sandwich filled with peppers and a tangy sauce at the counter, take your food outside to the covered patio that the restaurant shares with three neighboring spots." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer

Stopped by for lunch, we had the lamb sandwich one spicy and one regular and regular chicken sandwich. To me the sandwich needed more flavor to it. My daughters said the chicken sandwich tasted like fish. I don’t recall what the round things are called but also needed flavor they were tasteless even with the sauce that was provided with it. The medium spicy sauce if good 👍

We ordered two lebanese flat breads as if they were pizzas (pesto & cheese, and cheese with sujuk) and a platter of beef and lamb. The food was great and plenty for the cost. In addition, the service was fast and friendly. We'll certainly come back to try the baklava and maamoul

Amazing Lebanese food! You can’t go wrong here, everything is delicious. My husband and I recommend their kafta, hummus, babaganough, Lahm bi Ajeen, cheese with sujuk (photo below) and their lamb sandwich. We tell all our friends about this place and have brought a few to try it already. Absolutely love their food! Photos are: Lahm bi Ajeen, cheese with sujuk, and their baklava.

Delicious and authentic Lebanese cuisine with a relaxed and welcoming vibe. The owner offers great hospitality. I have visited for lunch a few times and have always had a great dining experience. I usually start with the hummus and baba ghannouj with pita. The hummus is excellent and the baba ghannouj is one of the best I've ever had with the pomegranate garnish adding a beautiful tart contrast. The pita was hot out of the oven. For entrees, I've had the Kafta which is essentially a flatbread pizza with a lamb patty, topped with yogurt sauce. It's a delicious option, especially if you are not too hungry for a large platter. I've also had their lamb pita wrap which is excellent. The baklava looked really enticing, but I've been too full to try. You can tell they are homemade. Soon I will return for dinner. They have outdoor covered seating. They follow standard covid practices with all employees wearing masks and sanitize tables after use. They have have sanitizer at the counter as well. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others.

I 100% recommend anyone to come here that wants fresh and traditional Lebanese food. The staff was very respectful and the atmosphere of this restaurant is 10/10. The hummus with the pomegranate is the best!

Excellent, relax, exquisite and pretty authentic restaurant-cafe style with Lebanese food. There are plenty of combinations from lamb, chicken, beef or you can have them “sólo”. The portions are humongous. Price excellent. Chicken is soft as butter. Bread is to die for. Parking can be busy during pick hours (lunch may be dinner) I’m glad to see that this type of restaurants offering excellent and different food other than Latin and Caribbean are flourishing in southwest Miami. Friendly polite staff. Don’t miss this one

Oh my goodness. This was amazing. I can’t tell you exactly what I ate because I said “serve me whatever you would eat” I believe it was a lamb wrap/sandwich of some sort with a bit of spiciness. I also had Hummus and Baba Ghanoush the owner even thought me how to eat it correctly. His friendliness and heart and passion for his craft is seen and tasted in every bite.
