The atmosphere had a relaxed elegance without feeling fancy, and after coming straight from a loud reception, the calm setting with gentle music was exactly what we needed. My colleague and I both ordered the chicken kebab dinner, and it was exceptional. The food was flavorful and tasty, the chicken was moist and deliciously seasoned, and the steamed vegetables were cooked perfectly without being mushy. We also enjoyed the Turkish tea after dinner, which was recommended to help with digestion. It was a strong black tea served in the cutest little glass cup with a handle, and we finished every drop. The staff was attentive, kind, and welcoming without being intrusive. Overall, it was a very relaxing and enjoyable dining experience, and I'd gladly return.

Finally she made reservations for Saturday evening (it is recommended because they get super busy). We got there and was greeted by the owner. BTW, was very down to earth. So their menu looked good (Lebanese food). There is so much to choose from and hard to decide. I especially loved their drink menu, especially wines. We ended up ordering: Appetizers: Baba ghannouge M'hammara Taverna falafel Dinner: Shawarma chicken Kebab mixed grill Drinks: Chateau kefraya, Les Bretches Almaza Pilsner My favorite from the appetizers is the eggplant and falafel! Super fresh and the bread that came with it was so good. Even the dipping sauce was amazing. My Shawarma chicken was super delish. You have to put the garlic butter on the rice! It gives it great flavor. My Mr enjoyed his meal as well. We definitely had to get a to go box because there was so much food. But we will look forward the next day to eat it. Overall, the service was great and I loved the experience. We can see ourselves coming back for more! I can see why my best friend loves it here! Highly recommend you try it.

The food was fantastic, the service was awesome, and the atmosphere was very laid back. We even met the owner who was immensely friendly and welcoming. We went for dinner on a Saturday evening. For weekends, reservations are strongly recommended because they get busy FAST. They're only open for dinner hours too. Their menu is pretty big with a plethora of options to choose from including lots of appetizers, flatbreads, shawarmas, kebabs, falafel, and lots of tasty desserts. Their libations menu was very nice too, with numerous options for beer, wine, and spirits. (Try the Almaza for a crisp and tasty Pilsner) all at great prices. Here's what we had: Appetizers: Baba ghannouge M'hammara Taverna falafel Dinner: Shawarma chicken Kebab mixed grill Drinks: Chateau kefraya, Les Bretches red wine blend Almaza Pilsner Hoegaarden Belgian wit bier They also give you unlimited fresh pita bread with a delicious dipping sauce.

Carry out only. We…read moreordered the family meal for two. Most of the meat was pretty good. The gyro meat was a bit dry and the lamb patty was undercooked (ground meat should be cooked thoroughly for safe consumption, I don't know why restaurants all serve it pink in the middle). The rice was very simple, not much flavor. We didn't know it came with salad or we would have asked them not to include as we don't eat salad. I did taste it and it was bland for my liking. Also iceberg lettuce is really the worst. Grape leaves are very good. Tastes fresh. Would order again. It was also served with bread but I like to dip it in hummus or yogurt dip and that was not included so we didn't eat it. I took a bite and it seemed ok. Overall, not a ton of flavor in what we ordered. My fiancé called it safe. I would have liked to see some sautéed vegetables included instead of salad but that is my preference. I'm not sure we will return, as it was pretty mediocre.

A friend of a friend recommended this place to me, and upon driving up, I was hoping it was a diamond in the rough/hole in the wall type place...but it's not. Ordered the fattoush with chicken, and water. The chicken was said to be shawarma. 1. Salad good, pita chips excellent, but missing lemon in dressing 2. Chicken decent, but needed more spices, and wasn't prepared/cooked the way I expect for shawarma 3. You are not saving money ordering water - they give you a bottle. Also, pricy! Their site reflects differently than what it was in person, and makes Lentils look far more awesome than it was.
