| | ★★ This restaurant seems to be very popular, perhaps being the only Lebanese cuisine in the area. Our family did not enjoy the food as everything tasted sour and not to our liking. Above all, given the type of restaurant, the prices are steep, not to mention the excessive default gratuity. I will not return to this restaurant. The chef and waiter were very courteous. |

| | ★★ I visited this place after reading so many brilliants reviews.
Here's what I experienced:
1) Extremely high prices
2) A waitress who was not satisfied with the amount of food we were ordering - this sort of belittling is unacceptable
3) A below par rotisserie chicken
And by the way, I don't understand why there is so much glowing praise for the GYROS - THEY ARE NOT HALAL.

| | ★★ I was not amazed by the food. Rotisserie chicken was not good at all. Loved the fresh bread. Waiter told us that everything is halal except Gyro. They do serve Alcohol on premises. |

| | ★★★★★ I went here for lunch and it was excellent. I had the Gyros sandwich which tasted great. It was cooked well and so were the fries. The service was top of the line as all of the staff was were very friendly (they even gave free refills on my soda). The place was not only neat and clean, but it also had a very nice atmosphere and setting as it was decorated beautifully and had a cozy atmosphere (even the bathrooms were really nice). The prices were decent and I hope to return to try their lunch buffet. |

| | ★★★★ Good tasty food -- neard ADAMS Masjid. I tried the Kofta Kabab sandwich and it was tasty. They also have weekday lunch buffet for $10, which the other people in our group tried. The buffet has a pretty decent selection which I will try next time. |

| | ★★★★★ al-Salamu Alikum, I've read the reviews about this place, and I have to say that I was worried after I read the last one from Sister Sahar, but I wanted to give this place a try, and al-Hamdulillah, I'm VERY happy that I did.
When I went there yesterday, I talked to the owner and addressed my concerns about the Halal issue, and the brother was very kind to show me the Halal stamp on the box he gets from the Meat distributer, along with showing me that he did indeed have a very simple sign on the front window showing that he has Halal, he added that he didn't want to make it too flashy because unfortunately some Non-Muslim customers might be confused to what that meant; and I have to agree, for I have met some that did indeed not know what Halal was!?
As far as food portions (I have to add that I'm a big guy) the food al-Hamdulillah was MORE than enough for me, and price wise it was very reasonable in comparison to other restaurants I've been to with my family, and on top of that, two of my three kids even eat for just pennies, because they have a promotion right now during the week, where kids only pay 1 penny for each pound they weigh! My daughter was very happy when they weighed her, Masha Allah, she thought it was fun!
So brothers and sisters, if you would like a nice Halal meal for a nice price, I would truly advice you Inshaa Allah to visit this place. al-Salamu Alikum.

| | ★★★ Ive tried to give this place the benefit of the doubt but each time i go the portions shrink. The shawarma doesnt have enough meat in it. The Rotisserie chicken is over priced and to be honest not really sure if they serve halal. The manager/owner said they dont display to avoid turning non muslims off. But they should have a certificate to show people if they ask. Dont think i'l be going back. |

| | ★★★★★ This place was recommended to us by our friends and I love them for that! The food was great; we went there with friends and ordered 2 Sahara Platters, and 2 Mix Grill Platters. The Tabouleh was as fresh as fresh can be, and I swear the Hummus was the best Hummus I have ever had; EVER!!! But my favorites were two: the Baba Ghannouge, which was so good you can taste the smoked Egg Plants between your teeth; and the Kibbeh which the owners told us later is made by a house wife, who comes in and makes all their Kibbeh and Fatayer as well… The Mix Grill was GREAT, there were so many things on there; it came with Rice, Hummus and Fattoush; and we ordered a side of Garlic Puree, which had all the goodness of garlic without the aftermath!The meat was tender and juicy, and what I found interesting was that they asked us how we liked our meat temperature, and I have never been asked that before in a Lebanese or Middle Eastern Restaurant. Our server was very friendly and attentive; and the owners came by and asked us how everything was and if we needed anything; the couple were very nice and funny!
We personally will be back, and I highly recommend this place to anybody who enjoys and appreciates a GOOD Lebanese meal :o) |

| | ★★★★★ This is one of the BEST Lebnese Restaurant around. The food is at market price (Starting form $3 upto $20). Their Shwarma is GREAT (Both chicken and Beef/Lamb), Hummus and Baba Ghanoush rocks, and their Sheesh Tawooq is die for. Unlike most Middle Eastern Places, this place also has less expensive Kids Menu for kids (I got mini sheesh tawooq for my 6 year old, which comes with Fries and Hummus for just around $7). The owners are very friendly and they have appitizer like Zaatar, Jimna and Lahm Jimna. The ambiance is Posh (almost) and very clean. They also offer Shisha. There is a medium size middle eastern super market attached with the restuarant. MUST TRY!!! They also offer Hukka/Shisha, but only in the seatings outside the restuarant. |
