Came here for dinner this past Tuesday to celebrate a couple of friend's birthdays. One of my…read morefriends called a head for a reservation since there were five of us just in case for 6pm. Service was friendly and patient as we tried to make decisions and asked questions. I have a friend that kind handle chile spice due to medical condition they were very accommodating when it was needed by having certain sauces on the side. We shared a number of dishes and two bottles of wine. We started with the Hummus bil Lahm ou Snobar, my favorite dish of the evening a hummus with bubbling spiced lamb. Baba Ghanouj, Bisara Munir, Arnabeet, Alhalaioun and the chicken and beef Shish Taouk. Everything was delicious. Flavorful, the proteins were cooked perfectly nice and tender. One of our friends likes meat a lot and hadn't cause he thought it was a vegetarian restaurant. We had to have the green chile sauce on the side of the asparagus dish cause of my friend but that was ok we were putting it in other items we loved it so much. Also the whipped garlic that came with the chicken and beef was a big hit! We had never had Lebanese wine and enjoyed our selections. Love that it felt like a healthier meal with the vegetables and spreads. Didn't feel stuffed after but definitely satisfied. They even comped dessert for my friends birthday which I believe was an orange rose water pudding. Welcoming warm space. Parking is fairly easy on a Tuesday night. Looking forward to visiting again

Great intimate family-friendly restaurant with authentic Lebanese food. Street parking…read more My favorites ares the lamb hummus with pine nuts and the squash grounded dip. Both were very flavorful and well balanced. Love the different textures. The roasted broccoli was OK, it was on the less cooked side The entree skewers were pretty good too. Shoutout to the kind service that let me combine and do half beef and half chicken because at the point I was too full from all the appetizers I ordered but still wanted to try both. One thing I really loved about the skewer is the sauces that came on the side: one tahini, one garlic, and one tomato. Such delicious sauces! Entrees were a little pricey though. Last but not least my party enjoyed the special Lebanese wine.

I wish this place was closer, but it is quite a drive for us to get out here. Too bad.

Found my new post-hike craving spot!…read more After a long, beautiful walk at Discovery Park, we were starving and decided to check out Shawarma Buzz based on the great reviews. It did not disappoint! The vibe is super casual and welcoming--perfect for a laid-back lunch or a quick takeout. They have a convenient parking lot right in front, which is a huge plus in this area. The shop is clean, and the staff are incredibly friendly and upbeat. What we ordered: * ​Gyro Sandwich: The classic lamb and beef combo. The pita was warm and soft, and the tzatziki with fresh cucumbers and tomatoes made it so refreshing. * Arabic Lamb & Beef Shawarma: My husband went for this one. It's a massive 12" toasted tortilla wrap with garlic and tahini sauce. Hearty, flavorful, and hit the spot. * Greek Fries: YOU MUST ORDER THESE. They are topped with mixed spices, garlic sauce, and feta cheese. The garlic is bold and totally addictive. I couldn't stop eating them! Generous portions, amazing flavors, and great service. We'll definitely be back next time we're in the neighborhood!

The shawarma looked very appetizing, so I decided to go with a chicken shawarma sandwich. The price was very reasonable. I ordered by phone, and the server was friendly and patient. It took about 15 minutes for the order to be ready. The salad was very fresh and refreshing with a great dressing, and the shawarma wrap was really enjoyable as well. I liked it! I'll most likely try it again, but next time I might go for the shawarma salad because I really liked the dressing and freshness.

********CLOSED************…read more They recently closed and reopened under a different name. It's now called THE BOSPHORUS PALACE. We originally went because we had seen good reviews for Almanqal Mediterranean Grill. When we got there, the server mentioned it's basically the same place but with a different menu, so we decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The food took quite a while to come out and when it finally arrived, it wasn't even hot. The bread honestly tasted like something bought from a grocery store. The rice was very bland, and although the salad was actually really good, the chicken was extremely dry, chewy, and lacked flavor. The presentation looked nice, but the taste just didn't match. The portions were also quite small, and the prices felt very high for what you get. The service was just okay overall. Maybe they are still new and working things out, but for the price and portion size it just didn't feel worth it. Overall, it felt like a waste of time and money considering the quality and quantity of the food.

For $88, you get four different grilled proteins, grilled veggies, rice, and your choice of three full size vegetarian appetizers. All the meats are flavorful, juicy, and tender. My favorite apps are the spicy hummus, babaghanouge, and arambeet. They also bring out fresh pita on the house which is always hot, soft, and perfect for dipping. Portions are super generous! My boyfriend and I always end up with enough leftovers for another meal. Service can be a bit slow at times, but the staff is very friendly. Definitely my top spot for Lebanese/Mediterranean food and highly recommend!
