My wife and I were struggling with translations due to not knowing if some of the middle eastern words (as we didn't know if it was Spanish) and someone brought over an English menu to help us out. The staff was super accommodating and made sure we were comfortable with our food choices, as we have never had middle eastern food before. When the food arrived, we were not disappointed! There was a dish with a yogurt sauce that had a blend of citrus and herbs that I have never tried before, but it made me go Full Remy ( eyes closed, experiencing the flavors like the rat from ratatouille). This was followed by a cheese and veggie mixture that was beyond heavenly and we kept yelping with joy every time we experienced these flavors. The rice with lentils and caramelized onions had a combo of flavor and texture that we were dead silent as we swallowed every bite with joy. When we were done with our main courses, the staff brought over a tray of all their desserts and, since everything else was so dang good, how could we say no!?!?! The baklava was flaky and with the ice cream and pistachios, the texture of it all was phenomenal. We loved this place so much that when we saw they did breakfast, we already were making plans to come through for eats and Turkish coffee to begin a long day energized ready to explore DF.

Then gave his recommendations and proceeded to tell us if we are not happy(with his mother's recipes) we eat free. No free meal today, the food was all excellent! I had the Timpana Maltesa, my daughter enjoyed the Lasagna and my wife had one of the burgers with chipotle and Gouda cheese. You must try the orzata, a twist on Mexican horchata made with fresh almonds. We all enjoyed pitchers of fresh lemonade and orangemade. If you still have room, you must have the desserts. The 7 of us enjoyed sharing several, and the coffee was excellent too!

Not the best for a large group as there is limited seating. Not an issue as I was dining solo. They only have falafel sandwiches either a wrap, pita or salad . Ingredients are fresh, I thought falafel could have been fried just a bit more to have more crispy texture. The inside was tad dense also. I wish I could have had a side of sauce to add a little kick. as flavors were monotone. No pickles or anything salty or acidic inside the pita to balance flavors, that's what I am used to. It seemed there was only one bottle which he gave to another table. One suggestion is to have a little bowl so one take some sauce to the table without taking entire bottle. Language is a barrier as I am not fluent and felt shy to grab the bottle, I am sure that lady would have been ok with it lol but was feeling self conscious about coming off as rude and getting us American a bad rap. Overall an ok meal, it wasn't bad but not did it blow my mind.

I can summarize this restaurant: - Food: above average, nothing spectacular. -Staff Service: The waiter was great and attentive, nothing out of the ordinary. - Cashier/likely the owner: grumpy, didn't look like she wanted to be there. Gave me the dirty look because I added 10% of the check in tip, which all the locals told me is fair. Probably was the Lebanese owner. Mexicans can't be that grumpy. -Price: 320 pesos for a buffet, basically about the same price you'd get in the U.S. or the Emirates. All in all, I wouldn't go back because of the price and the grumpy cashier. Este restaurante necesita otro cajero! La mujer que está trabajando como un cajero estaba mala y se va como no quiera trabajar. Creo que es una mujer arabe y tal vez el dueño....No me importa. Los meseros estaban muy amables y sus servicio estuve bien. Los precios son carros, 320 pesos por comida arabe de calidad básica. Si quieres comer aquí, evita el cajero y paga tu mesero directamente.

For the buffet they got all kinds of Lebanese entrees: grape leaves, stuffed squash, stuffed cabbage, raw kibbeh, baked kibbeh, tabbouleh, hummus, etc. ALSO, This is a great spot for breakfast if you're visiting Viveros or even Frida Kahlo's house. They got Lebanese inspired eggs served with Lebanese jocoque (strained yogurt), spices, olives and pita bread. It was a very special flavor. The egg cazuela with poblano peppers is very tasty and has a super generous amount of cheese, it's spicy! Huevos divorciados are also a Mexican breakfast classic, served with delicious mashed beans. Coffee is very good. Prices are right, you can get the breakfast dish on its own or you can make it a combo (coffee, juice and fresh fruit included)

Severely food poisoned…read more Aitana is a beautiful restaurant. The space is well designed, the atmosphere is lovely, and the staff seems attentive. Which makes what happened to me all the more shocking and disappointing. I visited recently and when I was deciding what to order, the server pushed me very hard toward the ribeye with rice, which also happened to be the most expensive item on the menu. I was uncertain and mentioned a few other options but they kept steering me back to that specific dish with unusual persistence. I ordered it. Within hours I was severely ill. What followed was one of the worst weeks of my life: constant cold sweats, a high fever, severe stomach pain, total weakness, and vomiting that would not stop. I could barely eat anything for days. I required a full course of antibiotics, several medications, and medical-grade hydration support just to stabilize. I genuinely feared for my life at certain points during those days. Looking back, the aggressive push toward one specific dish, the most expensive one on the menu, raises serious questions. When a restaurant steers you that insistently toward a single item and you end up hospitalized-level sick, you cannot help but wonder whether that food should have been served at all. My recovery took weeks.
