The hookah is also really good, but it can depend on who's making it. When it's done right, it's perfect. The ambiance is a whole vibe, especially on weekends. They usually have live singers and performances, which makes it even better. Just keep in mind there's an additional charge for that added to your bill. For me it's over a 40 minute drive, and I'd still make that trip every time. Definitely a spot I'd recommend if you're looking for good food and a nice atmosphere.

I stopped by around 6pm on a Thursday with a party of 8. We were seated outside right away as they didn't get busy until about 9pm. The Mint Lemonade is a must! If you ever go to a Lebanese restaurant, get it - trust me. It's refreshing, lightly sweet, and went well with the Mango Melon Hookah. The Mixed Hot Appetizers & Appetizer Mix was a great sampler for the table and everything was well-made and pretty authentic. I'm a big fan of Mixed Grill platters and let me just say, the 3 different meats were juicy and seasoned well, and the toum (garlic aioli) was spot on! A bit pricy considering the quantity/quality but all in all, great meal, great time, and great ambiance!

As I entered the restaurant, I was impressed with the attractive interior and even more so impressed with their viral coffee bar. With so many flavors to choose ranging from pistachio to coconut cloud, I decided to choose the strawberry matcha latte (and it was hard to make a decision). When server Ana placed this iced beverage in front of me, it was love at first sip. The appearance alone instantly caught my eye. Its red, white, and green colors are a perfect fit on a hot summer day. Unfortunately, I had to stir this drink for maximum flavor which altered the appearance; thankfully, I took the photo shot before I started stirring. The ice cubes in this drink made it difficult to stir with the plastic straw, but I was offered a spoon. Although I felt there was a tad bit too much ice in this drink, the combination of strawberry puree, milk, and premium matcha was very refreshing. For an up charge, I added strawberry whipped foam to enhance the flavor even more. When I next return to explore their other signature lattes, I will remember to request less ice which will simply the stirring. #yasmeenmediterranean #yasmeencresskill #strawberrymatchalatte

We sat in the front dining area where there was a large TV, good for watching the game (in our case, the world cup). The place was clean and server was friendly. We ordered 3 lunch specials that included the fattoush (house salad), mouhamarra, labneh, shish tawook (grilled chicken with rice pilaf), kufta kebab, and mint lemonade. Honestly for food, my average rating for everything would be closer to 3.5/5. The pita bread that came with the table was room temp and served in a plastic bag. I would have liked it to be at least warmed up a little before being brought out. The sides and dips were average. They lacked flavor and depth in my opinion- the labneh was simply plain, sour yogurt without any other flavor. The mouhamarrah was also average, it was a bit spicy and that was about it. Standouts from our table that were very well executed were the lentil soup, shish tawook, and yasmeen fries. The lentil soup came out steaming hot, and was very nicely seasoned. I liked that it came with crispy pieces to add texture. The shish tawook surprised me as it didnt look super special, but it was actually very good! The chicken was juicy, fell apart easily, and had that nice grill flavor. It went well with the rice and vegetables. The yasmeen fries were hot and crispy, the garlic seasoning was a very nice touch. I would've liked if my mint lemonade had more mint flavor in it but perhaps that was my bad for not ordering the slush version. The portions were pretty generous, 19.95 is a fair price for all the food we received. Overall, we had a nice experience and am glad we got to try the place out.

Seems like such a random spot for a restaurant in a secluded area. As soon as you enter it's a party! The music was pumping all the tables have balloons and the lights flashing. We had already been studying the menu and knew exactly what we wanted. Before we order though they do give a complimentary appetizer of guacamole with chicharron. The chicharron was so tiny that when fried it was almost burnt so not the best. Amongst our table we ordered the chiflada hangover, the avocado toast, the salmon deluxe, the mexi Cali salad and the brunch club burger. I will say you are definitely not coming here for the food. Nothing was outstanding at all just your basic food. The drinks were also very underwhelming. Very sweet and not enough alcohol. The DJ however was playing amazing hits and had us singing (screaming) and dancing nonstop. Since we did come to celebrate a birthday and purchased the birthday package, it included a birthday sash/button for the birthday person, 4-5 balloons, celebration cupcake, sparklers presentation, LED sign, picture banner on the big screen, DJ shout out, confetti poppers, and a free drink for the birthday person all for 20$. It felt very special to celebrate our friend in this way and so fun! But after we did all the celebration and our unlimited brunch was over, they were very persistent about us either leaving or purchasing a bottle. It really sucks to be shooed off in this way when we still want to keep the party going. We wanted to keep dancing and possibly drink more but it seems you can only do that with a table. There is no area to just stand and enjoy. There is also ALOT of add ons so they get you for your money. We ended up paying extra for hookah, a photo op, bouquet of roses and shots from a drag queen. These are all optional of course but for the fun of it I suggest coming with extra cash to partake in these activities if your heart so desires.
