Good food, good service, good hookah. It is always a pleasure to eat at this restaurant with family and friends

I was iffy at first coming here. But I gave it a shot anyway. The hookahs were good and the guy who made and served the hookahs was very nice. The hookahs were tasteful and greatly priced. Took us a little while to order because they only had 1 waitress. And the poor lady was on break so we didn’t want to interrupt. After ordering it took us a good 45 minutes to receive the entrees. Which wasn’t all that. I had the falafel sandwich with fries (dry). And my guests had the combo plate with meats and rice. Lamb chops were super small and was mostly fat on there. Bill was kind of high considering the size of the entrees. It is wheel chair accessible and kid friendly for the most part. The environment inside was clean & middle eastern themed which was pretty cool. Different than the rest of spots on the block.

I went for Hookah and the ambiance was good and a neat clean place. The Only Concern was there billing seems off. I looked at the price before ordering but didn't check the bill at the time (my fault). Went back again to clarify but seemed they were confusing me and gave me a duplicate bill but still didn't match what they had charged. When I asked they said it was the POS charges (which I have never experienced anywhere else). So will not recommend them or check the bill before paying.

The hookah flavors at this establishment are truly exceptional, complemented by comfortable seating arrangements that enhance the overall experience. The diverse array of appetizers provides ample options to satisfy various preferences, while the main dishes further contribute to the culinary delight offered. One notable aspect is the exemplary hospitality demonstrated by the staff. They go above and beyond by frequently inquiring about the patrons, ensuring a personalized and attentive service. This thoughtful approach creates a welcoming atmosphere, making visitors feel valued and enhancing the overall dining and hookah-smoking experience.

Its a good place to hangout with your friends and have some Mediterranean food and Hookah. Its a bit expensive.

The food they served was cold from inside (meat) the excuse was the chef wanted to leave early. But they close at 2 am and we ordered at 11.15pm. Food came late and cold. Didn't charge us for 1 dish but disappointed overall food.

If you are looking for a good crowd and a good hookah place around Astoria then I would definitely suggest you this place. It’s a quite chilled place with some good choice of music. They have a wide variety of hookah that you can choose from. Also their food menu is quite enriched. Ordered half fried chicken and fried calamari for food. I really loved their fried chicken. The seasoning was perfect and tasted super amazing. But compared to the serving quantity the price seemed a little high. Also I don’t know about their recipe but I felt the food and fried were missing a little touch of salt. Their fried calamari was average and also missing the touch of salt. Except for that, their tea platter seemed to be popular. And loved the hookah. They change the coal in every 30mins. So you can just take your group here and chill for hours. Also I didn’t take cash so had to pay them by Venmo/Cashapp since they don’t accept cards. I’m glad that they had this option, otherwise I would just had to go out and cash out from Atm. They add 18% service charge on the bill, which seemed a little off for me.

Came here for lunch on Sunday and I really liked the atmosphere of the restaurant. Super chill and comfy. Food was delicious, especially the Hummus! Our waitress was also very friendly and kind. Really good place to try Lebanese food.
