Your greeted by the owners who work the restaurant and take pride in their establishment. They provided us with a complementary hot tea sample. That was so good. I could have drank that and been happy and had nothing else! The food where to begin? Typically I do not do sauces because that is not my thing but there's well let's just say I devoured it! It was so phenomenal and the chicken moist flavorful outstanding I cannot brag enough about how phenomenal that chicken dish was. Now let's talk about the vegetables. They were seasoned to perfection and cooked where they were still crunchy but yet they were soft enough that you didn't have to worry. The vegetables were outstanding and I wanted to get second helping on the vegetables they were that good! The pita bread looked to be homemade, but given it was Passover I was not able to try it. So long story short I'm coming back Friday night because that pita bread looked like it was in-house made and it looks so so good! This restaurant I have to say is out of this world and worthy of 10 stars! This is somewhere you definitely must try and I believe you too will give them 10 stars!!!!

Definitely wasn't expecting to like it that much. I even stepped outside my comfort zone and tried the grape leaves, and they were pretty good too. The lamb had great flavor and was seasoned really well. My only complaint is that I wish it had been a little more tender. Other than that, everything was on point. I ordered this for delivery, so I can't really speak on the customer service, but I will say the food was still fresh by the time it got to me. Me, my son, and my girlfriend all enjoyed it.

I came in as a solo diner and was seated quickly, although my table was kind of nestled underneath the high outdoor bar. That meant hearing some of the bartender's phone conversations. I ordered a glass of Lebanese rose wine and liked it! But my meal wasn't impressive. The vegetarian grape leaves (one of my favorite dishes, generally) were OK, although several were split up on my plate (but hey, it happens). I thought the flavor was underwhelming; there was a lot of acidity but nothing else. I also ordered a side of "extra crispy seasoned potato fries" which just turned out to be generic crinkle fries with salt. Definitely wouldn't order those again. I thought maybe there would be some sort of twist on them? The big frustration was service. The restaurant was far from full when I went -- I counted maybe a dozen seated tables. After I finished eating, I spent more than 30 minutes trying to get my waiter's attention to get my check even as I sat with my plates pushed away, glasses empty, and credit card out. He walked by multiple times to wait on and check with other tables, and I saw at least five other employees working in the front of house and walking by me. Even when I got his attention for the check, it took quite a few minutes to get it, despite him walking out to other tables. (Although I will note he seemed busier than the other employees!) My check before tip came to $24, which felt on the pricey side for what I got. I hope I'm wrong, but I got the vibe that I wasn't exactly their favorite type of guest -- a solo diner who wasn't smoking hookah. (I noticed another solo non-smoker go similarly unnoticed by staff.) Maybe they heavily favor regulars, too. But they weren't at capacity, and I'd have gotten out quicker had I been able to pay. Maybe it was just an off night. But it's just not a great feeling to be ignored.

For the longest time, I love the Combination Platter, which is what I normally get within either salad, rice or tabbouleh. Now, I've mixed it up with some wings, standalone salad and lettuce-wrapped burger. 1) Sweet & Tangy 10 wings (lightly coated) - crispy, tasty, sweet and tangy deliciousness 2) Fattoush Salad - fresh mix of greens, onions, tomatoes, cucumber with crispy pita and I think balsamic vinaigrette dressing. I love Fattoush salads in general. 3) Lettuce-Wrapped Cheeseburger (no bun) - onions, pickles, tomatoes, of course lettuce, and cheese. "Low-Carb" Burger for those in the diet/lifestyle. The patty was thin, but it was big and filling. Service was wonderful, fast and accommodating. Very affordable pricing of food. The cafe is normally quiet, but I do prefer it that way. I'm sure it gets busy during the lunch and dinner times though. Look forward in trying out their breakfast soon!

When you walk in the owner is often the one to great you, the cash register to the left of the entrance, and a lovely assortment of trinkets to the right. The food itself was nice and light. I enjoyed the Knafeh. We also got an assortment of drinks. My personal favorite was the Salep (like a more savory creamier hot chocolate, hold the chocolate). The masala chai was a decent price for a pot and had a delightful flavor, I've since taken multiple people and a variety of different pallettes enjoy the flavor. This is a great date spot, but also low key enough to just enjoy if you want a place to relax, there's a small bookshelf if you wanted to un plug and read while you enjoy your tea. Ps. The owner is a professional guitarist, my friend who is also a professional musician has a wonderful time chatting with him about their shared passions.

Cute, Vibrant & Such a Unique Experience!…read more Gahwa Cafe was such a cute Turkish coffee spot! I had never experienced Turkish coffee like this before, so it was a whole new experience for me. The owner was so attentive and welcoming, and one of my favorite parts was getting to see him show us how they make the Turkish espresso in hot sand! I had never seen anything like it, and it made the experience feel so much more special. And let me tell you...the Turkish espresso was AMAZING! The flavor was rich, smooth, and honestly just perfect. Definitely my favorite part of the experience. We also tried the pistachio baklava, and it was tasty! The food was good overall. Since this was my first time trying Turkish food, some of the flavors were definitely new to my palate, but I enjoyed getting to try something different. The café itself is vibrant, colorful, and full of character, but when we went, it was just us, so it was also super quiet and peaceful. I really enjoyed the ambience. They even have a hookah area, which adds another fun element to the experience. The only downside for us is that it's pretty far from where we live, so I'm not sure I'd make the trip again just for the café. But if you're already in the area or live nearby, I'd definitely recommend checking it out! Turkish Espresso: 10/10 Pistachio Baklava: Tasty Ambience: Vibrant + peaceful Service: Attentive Experience: Unique & memorable Cute spot, great vibes, and definitely glad we tried it!

The outdoor environment feels like it could fit in with any city, and the indoors is beautiful and cozy. Service has always been friendly, and I've enjoyed all of the food I've gotten. I love that they have a meatless option for grape leaves (their vegetarian options in general are plentiful), and the fried jibneh is a highlight I don't see on many local menus. Their hummus is good stuff, too. I will note that I have only ordered from their appetizers and desserts, so I'm not sure how their entrees stack up. In general, I do appreciate the variety they have. They have some great teas to order, and the kunafa dessert is delicious. I've only done hookah here once, but they were attentive with the hot coals and the setup was just what you'd expect. This is one of the first places I consider when I'm in the area. I will note they get very crowded on the weekends, but it's one of my favorite spots for a weeknight hangout.
