We were caught off…read moreguard as no other restaurant in Nice has asked all week, you gave what you felt based on service. Nonetheless, we gave 10%. Our food was around $110 euros, and this server/restaurant added $240 euros to the bill on top of the $110 we actually ate. What a hassle to deal with this after a holiday and have to dispute the credit card company. When you pay, they tap your card so you have no physical receipt. This place preys on tourist and took advantage of us. The food wasn't that good either. If you insist on going, bring Euros and don't use a card. If this was a simple error, please reach out so we can correct with the credit card company.

Avec une atmosphère sympa entre les bâtiments vifs du quartier, on se sent comme dans un petit monde caché.

For the first time, I experienced what fresh cucumbers and tomatoes are supposed to taste like! Saj is a thoughtfully curated space that serves earthy salads and mouthwatering Lebanese flatbreads.

Not all of the children wanted to eat, but we were told each person must order an entree and we can't take up a table if so, even though the tables were empty and we were ordering enough wine to exceed the cost of two kids meals. We ended up ordering enough food to satisfy the server yet he was petty and rude till the end. The owners seem fine with this treatment of their customers and the wait staff seem to be carrying out their policies with gusto. I wish I read the Google reviews on this place before sitting down. Looks like they've been at it for years.

I went with the lunch platter, which came with kafta, hummus, baba ganoush, tabbouleh, and rice and it was excellent. The restaurant is on a lovely block, perfect for sitting outside and people-watching while you eat. Definitely a spot I would come back to.

Overall a high 4 stars. The food was great, but the service was very slow…read more THE WAIT: We got a table fine on a Saturday in October at 8:30pm, but they were very busy. In fact, we had tried going to Ya Habibi around the corner and they were fully booked up (they sent us to Byblo's, their sister restaurant). This was so surprising to us as we were in France during the off-season and had never had any trouble getting into restaurants the entire trip! This also tells you a lot about how popular both these restaurants are. THE COST: 64€ for dinner for two. On the pricey side! THE SERVICE: As I mentioned, slow. We were served by 3 different people, and it was confusing who our actual server was. I do appreciate that when we sat down, our first server warned us they were going to have loud music and dancing in an hour (we had a baby with us). Our baby also got pretty fussy but no one minded. There was an English menu and the staff spoke decent English. All of the customers seemed to be French/Lebanese. When the belly dancer started, a group of girls who were dining together joined her! FYI this restaurant is very small, so the belly dancing goes up and down the main, narrow corridor of the restaurant. THE FOOD: * Falafel - 4 stars Nice thick crisp. Came with some veggies, but we should have gotten hummus, as the falafel was a tad dry without it. The pita bread was very thin. * Hummus - 4 stars Thick and delicious! * Orfali (19€) - 3.5 stars The eggplant was a little undercooked in some spots. The meat had good flavor, but was a little dry and really needed hummus. The fries were soggy and sad. The salad was simple, with a light sharp dressing; the tomato was too hard and not ripe. * Mashawi (24€) - 4 stars Lamb was the best, juicy and smoky flavor. Chicken also pretty juicy. Minced beef and eggplant was basically the Orfali. Rice was plump, soft, really good.

John, the owner was working the counter and was so welcoming and friendly.

The take out food is very good flavor, fresh, and bon marche as they would say. If you are expecting total gourmet or fancy place this is not for you. If you would like good Lebanese food quickly and with a smile this is a great place; either take out or eat in.

We came in looking for vegan options, since Lebanese food lends itself nicely to a vegan meal (there's always hummus and falafel). We explained we were vegan, and the owner said that he could make one of tasting menus vegan. I didn't see fattoush on the tasting menu, and when I asked for it, he said he could make it for us. You have no idea how happy that made me! We had so many great dishes to share, and everything was delicious and flavorful. The falafel was some of the best I've ever had-not greasy at all. No vegan dessert, but we were too stuffed for it anyway! One of our best meals on the trip!
