A MUST TRY restaurant. The food is absolutely delicious. For starters, there’s street parking (harder to find) and, within about 2 blocks, a parking lot, which means there’s no reason not to go. The service is very good here, with attentive, friendly staff. And the setting is very pleasant. It’s the perfect place to take someone special. I took my wife for our anniversary. We started out with arnabit and fried kibeh. For entrees, I had the shish taouk (OMG), my wife had the shrimp skewers, and son the kafta skewers. It was all so delicious. We topped off the evening with desserts, ordering the knefe, warbat, and baklawa. Honestly, as much as the appetizers and entrees were fantastic, the desserts were something I would hold off on. The war at was good, but the knefe and baklawa need work. Overall, you MUST TRY here. This place is phenomenal. Parking is a little hard as it’s street parking but there’s other places to park nearby and you’ll be glad you did. This place is very welcoming with fantastic service; very attentive and friendly staff. The setting is very nice and is a great place to take someone special. And the food. The food is fantastic. Everything my wife and I got was absolutely delicious. Lately we’ve been on a kick for appetizers, which gives us more things to try and so we did quite a few appetizers and one entree to share. We started off with a pinky colada(?) and a blackberry mule. Both nonalcoholic and very good. For appetizers we had baba ghanouj, arnabit, and batata harra, while the entree was the Mejana grill (3 different skewers) with rice. I have to go back.

We came to Mejana for my mother's birthday. The service was ok, server was young and there may have been a language barrier. Because we were a large party we were told our only option on the menu was the Lebanese Journey which turned out to be basically a large sampler of many menu items from apps, meats and 1 dessert. I was able to explain that in one sentence but while we were at the restaurant that simple explanation was not given. We had about 20 people in our party and were all very confused. The menu doesn't really give an explanation, the waiter wasn't stating it in a way we could understand and finally the manager came and broke it down for us lol. The food ended up being delicious and the drinks were nice also. I really liked the hibiscus martini and my mom loved her mocktail (which they mad a good selection of). My suggestion would be to add an explanation for what the levonese journey is on the menu and also detail that the "mixed grill" is a variety of grilled meats. I assumed it was grilled vegetables since there was no detail on meat and the chicken shwarma was derailed separately. With all the confusion it took us a very long time to order, we had several children with us who got antsy with the wait for the food once it finally was ordered. Aside from the confusion the establishment had very nice decor and we enjoyed our time celebrating my mom. Be aware that the desert that comes w the Journey is a baklava that's the size of a quarter and what looked like a tablespoon of custard, incredibly tiny portions lol so be prepared 😄 but still delicious. The staff were very patient w our confusion and tried their best to explain.

The food here was great - I’m Lebanese and I can’t recommend this place enough. The mejana grill is a great mix of meat and the kibbeh nayeh is some of the best I’ve had in the US. The owner Khalil and his staff are incredibly attentive to customers. I will absolutely be coming back here.

We had brunch on a Saturday in June around 12:30. The restaurant was not super busy. We enjoyed wonderful service from the staff. The food was possibly the best and most authentic I've had in the United States. Absolutely superb and highly recommend it. Really terrific, as good or better than any restaurant in Kuwait or Jordan, in my opinion. Thanks for a lovely early afternoon!

Amazing! The hot sampler appetizer has kibeh, cheese rolls, and falafel. It was delicious, just the right size to start this meal. We shared a mixed grill that had chicken lamb and kafta. Wow, tasty varied, and scrumptious. The Makanek, small sausages with lemon butter and pomegranate were tangy and with a hint of sweetness. For dessert, we had a baklava and a kanafeh which were the perfect ending to a great lunch! Not to mention the strong Turkish coffee! I loved it all and will come back when I can! Came back again this year and the food is consistently excellent. 5* excellent 4* very good 3* good but not consistently 2* It's not worth it 1* Don't even think about it

I went to MeJana's for the first time yesterday with another Iraqi friend. The food was delicious! The staff and owner are very receptive and friendly! We were waited on by Mahmood from Iraq. He was very kind, super knowledgeable about the menu, extremely friendly, and very helpful! The owner greeted us before and after. I will definitely go back and try some of the other dishes.

First time, loved the blue, the ambiance of the place. Had the Batata Harra, not pictured and the shrimp skewers with the veggies. Simple but very good and filling. Will definitely come back.

Very nice ambiance inside and spacious. Many outdoor tables for you to enjoy as well. Service was quick and attentive. Much attention to details. The food was ok. I wasn't blown away nor disappointed. The calamari needed a bit more seasoning. The mixed grill was ok. Just grilled meat. The garlic butter was gooda and the warm bread.
