    Chicken Shawarma
    Terri T.

    I was curious to try Lebanese food. First we shared the hummus and roasted eggplant appetizers. The hummus was very creamy and delicious. The eggplant was a little on the bland side I was expecting a more smoky flavor. I ordered the chicken shawarma for my main dish. The chicken was on the salty side but the seasoning was very good. I ordered water for the drink the waiter gave me a water bottle with no glass. I asked for a glass he gave it to me but seemed annoyed not sure why since it was a regular restaurant not a take out place.

    Came here with my brother. Plenty of seating, not busy for a Friday night. Staff was friendly. Started off with complimentary Pickled Olives and Radishes and thin Pita Bread. Ordered the Baba Ghannouj and the Safiha for appetizers. Shared the Shawarma Lahme and the Bamia. Every dish was delicious. Shawarma Lahme was great with just the right amount of spice. Bamia was huge, enough for 2 people and the Lamb was so tender. Oddly enough, no tap water- you would have to buy bottled water.

    We came in on the early side for a Sunday dinner. The place was empty and quiet. So quiet that I think the owner was napping at the table in the back by the kitchen as we walked in. He woke and sat us a table bringing us menus with some olives and pickled radish. We negotiated the menu deciding on a few dishes to share. The Baba Ghannouj was creamy and smokey perfect with the bread that was brought out. I really enjoy the Lebanese style bread, which people might just call pita, but I'm not sure that is correct because this is thinner, lighter and unleavened - I could eat the whole basket. The tabbouleh salad was very fresh and bright to offset the slightly bitter parsley - really great. The Safiha were fantastic and an easy share of 2 a piece for 2 people. Neither of us were particularly feeling any grilled meats so we decided on the Bamia because we are an okra and lamb fan. The stew was so good and really light. I think many people are turned off by okra, which can be thick and slimy if not prepared properly. This was the complete opposite. If anything I was surprised how soup like the dish was. There were hearty chunks of lamb meat in the stew and the rice was nice and fluffy. We couldn't finish this and I packed this having it the next day it was even thicker and I thought better then at the restaurant. All in all a very good experience. I always enjoy seeing the similarities in dishes between cultures.

    Delicious food in an unassuming strip mall setting. You walk and the staff is one person who seats you as well as takes the orders. Turns out he is the owner. Once you get him talking you realize he has an amazing background in the global and NYC food scene. There is also one person who serves, clears and looks like is part of a 2 person kitchen staff. The service is understandably slow, but have patience. The food is worth the wait. Can't wait to go back!

    Wow, wow, wow!!! What a gem of a restaurant. The hummus is the best I've ever had and I've had a lot . The babaganoush, the tabouleh and the bread, a perfect symphony of appetizers (careful it's filling)! For mains, chicken shawarma, kafta and the Kibbe Saniye were all amazing! Save room for the dessert because the pudding with pistachio is beyond good! Run here, hurry!

    Food was good, service was fine (it was busy), but nothing to complain about. We got to see a belly dancer so that was interesting.

    Food was terrible, not authentic Lebanese food, and expensive. We had takeout so I have no opinion about service and/or ambiance.

Simon would come to my table and give me free samples of their desserts. I was just so overjoyed with the whole experience! I couldn't leave without buying hummus and a seven bean salad as well as some cookies. The restaurant was beautiful and filled with life and colors.

When we sat down, we were served pita and tzatziki sauce. It was good! We ordered off of the lunch special. I had the Kubideh Kabab and my friend had the boneless chicken Kabab. The kababs were not dried out and they were very tasty, well seasoned, and not salty! With the lunch special, you get a choice of lentil soup or salad. I went with the soup and I'm glad I did! It really hit the spot since I haven't been feeling very good lately. We shared an appetizer of falafels. To be honest, it was a bit too dry for me. The service was great and our waitress was very nice. She gave us plenty of time to look at the menu and order. The restaurant is quiet overall but there isn't a lot of seating available. There's a shared parking lot but it's crowded. The food was amazing but I don't like looking for parking when I'm hungry. Just kidding. I'll stop by again!
