Well, there was no lamp to rub, but Aladdin still made wishes come true . The chicken salad was delicious. So fresh. BUT Get the Borak cheese bread. The inside of the restaurant is clean but feels scattered. The waitress was so friendly. But I still wanted to see a genie in a bottle. It's good, go, eat, rub a genie bottle of wine. Worth the visit.

We had the three meet combination skewer; lamb, beef & chicken along w huge portion of hummus, rice, garlic paste & all of the pita you could eat & a bowl of flavorful lentil soup. Also a big Greek salad that was plentiful & delicious. Try the house drinks like tamarind w rose water & tasty tea. Everything was delicious & we shared it all.

The food. The service. The staff. Wonderful!! We have been here a few times, and it never disappoints. The food is second to none. Great outdoor space, large indoor space. Definitely be back.

Cute Lebanese restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. Surrounded by beautiful palm trees. Cafe ambiance. Friendly and somewhat quaint indoor decor. The falafels are yummy. Fluffy and well spiced. The Mussaka and rice as well as the Lebanese salad were delicious.

I ordered a lentil soup that was about it and I just got a stare when I came in to purchase it to go. It was the only thing I had to eat as a quick late lunch I couldn’t stop throwing up it tasted old and very can type not fresh or homemade . I’m glad I didn’t finish it I only had a few tries :( They dropped the ball I am disgusted and didn’t bother letting them know it isn’t worth the confrontation in which they seem to give off. I prefer the other location !

Let me start off by saying I grew up eating Lebanese food and I am very familiar with it. The food was ok. The dolma (grape leaves) were terrible and I could barely get through one bite. The falafel was ok, but was very heavy and tasted greasy. I ordered lamb and I received very small lamb chops that were not super flavorful. The fries that came with the meal were the best item but needed some salt. The hummus was not good and needed lemon. I was the only person in the restaurant. I went at around 6-7pm which is peak dinner time for restaurants. You can see in the video the restaurant was completely empty. There is no reason why I should have had such a sub par experience when I was the only guest in the restaurant. When I told my server, Abraham, about my dissatisfaction with the food he got defensive. Instead of wanting to give me a better experience, he told me that he knew the food was good; which insinuated that the problem was me not the restaurant. I spent about $63 after tip on two items. This was an over priced experienced for the quality of service you receive. The food portions are generous, but it does not match the taste value of the food. This restaurant did not give me the experience I was hoping to have. I did not receive the same service others received and the server took his time before acknowledging me at all. The partiality was off-putting as a black African-American and came across as racist. I do not recommend eating at this establishment.
